at the age of sixteen began learning his trade of millwright, which trade he followed in his native State till coming to Bureau County, Ill., where he landed April 7, 1855. For four years he did carpenter work at Buda, but in the fall of 1859 he purchased his present farm and began its improvement by building a home on it, to which he removed March 15, 1860. When Mr. Crisman came to his farm he had but little capital with which to make improvements or stock his farm, but with his industry as the best pos- sible capital he began, and success has crowned his efforts. His farm now contains 370 acres of well-improved land. Mr. Cris- man has made a specialty of hog-raising, and through his diligence has placed himself in the front rank as a producer. April 19, 1848, he was married in Bedford County, Penn., to Miss Elizabeth Bowser. She was born in Bedford County, March 3, 1828. She is the daughter of John and Margaret Bowser, both natives of the same county as their daughter. In 1855 they removed to Illinois, where Mr. Bowser died, but his widow yet lives in Buda. Mrs. Crisman is the eldest of a family of seven children who reached maturity. To Mr. and Mrs. Crisman eight children have been born, viz .: Calvin, William A., Margaret V., Mattie L. and Arthur V. (twins), Carrie A., Eunice E., and Beckie (deceased). In politics Mr. Crisman is identified with the Republican party. He and wife are members of the Baptist Church of Buda.

GEORGE CROSSMAN, Lamoille. Among our citizens of foreign birth, who have identified themselves with Bureau Coun- ty, we must mention the subject of this sketch, who was born November 7, 1826, in Somersetshire, England, town of Bishford. His parents, George and Sarah (Rhude) Crossman, died in England, where he was a mechanic. Their children were: Henry, who died on board a man-of-war off the coast of Africa; George, our subject; John C., a resi- dent of this county; Jane, deceased, and Mrs. Mary A. Jeffries. Mr. Crossman came to America in 1852. He was eight weeks on the ocean. He lived two years in Onondaga Connty, N. Y., and then in October, 1854, came to Lamoille Township, in Bureau Coun-

ty, Ill. Here he rented land till 1858, when he bought forty-four acres of land, to which he added from time to time. In 1871 he sold his farm and removed to Lamoille, where he now resides, and intends to spend the re- mainder of his life in ease and quiet. He was married October 21, 1852, in Syracuse. N. Y., to Joanna Chapman, a daughter of William and Joanna Chapman. Mrs. Cross- man, a cheerful, industrious lady, is also a native of Somersetshire, England, where she was born December 14, 1833. Mr. Crossman has been a successful farmer, and is a self- made man in every respect. Politically, he is identified with the Republican party.

J. C. CROSSMAN, Lamoille, was born January 29, 1830, in Draycott, Somerset- shire, England. (See preceding sketch.) Mr. Crossman came to the United States about 1850. He worked two years in Onondaga County, N. Y., where he was also married. In March, 1852, he came to Lamoille, Ill., and after working one year, rented land and farmed. In 1855 he bought 160 acres of land, which he soon sold, and after renting another year bought 160 acres of William Hart, which he sold, and in 1857 went to New York State, and from there to England, where he visited his relatives, returning to Lamoille the following year. Here he first rented the place which he afterward bought, and now owns 617 acres of land, on which he makes stock-raising a specialty. Our sub. ject was married July 24, 1851. to Elizabeth Weeks, who was born December 23, 1828, in England. Her parents, William and Ann (Dix) Weeks, were also natives of England. Mrs. Crossman is the mother of the following children who reached maturity: Mrs. Mary A. Hopps (deceased), Mrs. Sarah Williams, Eliza Crossman, Mrs. Fannie Dunbar, John F., Ollie, Alice and Nellie Crossman. When Mr. Crossman came to this county he was poor in purse, but rich in will-power and in- dustry, hence his prosperity. He is a strong Republican, and takes an active part in po. litical matters, and also a deep interest in agricultural matters, and is President of the Agricultural Society of Bureau County.

WILLIAM CUMMINGS, Buda. Thorn- ton Cummings was a native of Virginia. When a young man he immigrated to Ken-

tucky, and was there married to Miss Sylvia Williams, a native of Kentucky. In 1816, soon after marriage, Mr. Cummings removed to Gallatin County, Ill., where he resided till 1834, at which time he came to Bureau County, Ill. When he reached Hennepin, he left his family there, and in company with a Frenchman as guide he traveled over the western part of Bureau County seeking a suitable location, and as he had been reared in a timbered country French Grove suited him best on account of its containing heavy timber. But when he announced his inten- tion of settling here, his guide informed him that his own claim embraced the grove, but that he would divide, and accordingly staked off one-half, and Mr. Cummings selected the west half and there settled, and his was the first settlement in what is now Concord Township. When the land came into the market he entered 240 acres of the Grove and adjoining prairie land. He died in 1872, and his widow January 1, 1883. They were the parents of ten children, seven of whom lived to reach maturity. The follow- ing are now living: Fitchyou, Sylvia (widow of Alexander Shafer) and William are in this county. and Harvey Cummings is now a resident of Minnesota. William Cummings was born in Gallatin County, Ill., in 1829. He came to this county with his parents in 1834, and attended the first school taught in the westeru part of Bureau County. This school was taught in a log cabin on the east of French Grove. Mr. Cummings has made this township his home since first coming to it. In 1853 he was married to Miss A. J. Hodge, who was born in the State of New York, and is the daughter of Jacob Hodge. Mr. and Mrs. Cummings are the parents of five sons, viz .: Orlando W., Marvin S. and Melvin S. (twins), Hampton B. and Harvey D. (twins.) Immediately after marriage Mr. Cummings settled on his present farm, and in August, 1870, engaged in the breed- ing of short-horn cattle, and has been one of the most successful breeders of thorough- bred cattle in the county, and now keeps his farm of nearly 500 acres fully stocked with the choicest cattle. June 8, 1881, and June 26, 1884, he had a public sale of short-horn cattle, each herd containing about fifty head.

FITCHYOU CUMMINGS, Concord, was born in Gallatin County, Ill., May 8, 1818, and is the son of Thornton Cummings, de- ceased. (For a more complete outline of the life and settlement of Thornton Cummings in Bureau County see sketch of William Cummings.) Fitchyou Cummings came to Bureau County with his parents in 1834, and since that time has resided in Concord Town- ship. His opportunities for an education were the most limited. Instead of schools, when coming to French Grove, there was excellent opportunity for the hunter to find game. As Mr. Cummings was of au inde- pendent nature, he wished to make for him- self a farm, and as money was at that time almost impossible to obtain, he had to work whenever he could to make money to pay for his land, since he had laid a claim on 160 acres, and yet resides on one eighty of that first claim. Their market was Hennepin, or soon afterward Lacon, where a man named Fisher bought hogs, and paid for the same in Boston money, which he guaranteed would pay taxes. Slowly but surely Mr. Cummings worked his way to independence, and has added to his first entered land till he now owns about 400 acres. In 1850 he was mar- ried to Miss Esther Garrett, who was boru iu Ohio, and is the daughter of Horace Garrett, who came to this county in about 1840. Mr. and Mrs. Cummings are the parents of four children, viz. : Sidney, Melissa J .. Delia and Roxie. In politics Mr. Cummings has ever been a firm Democrat.

J. T. CURRIER, Neponset. Among our self-made men in Bureau County, who owe their success in life to their energy and per- severance, we place him whose name heads this sketch. He was born July 9, 1823, in Peacham, Caledonia County, Vt. His father, Asa Currier, was born April 21, 1790, in the same place. He died March 16, 1868, in Osceola, Stark Co., Ill. He came to Stark County on Sunday, August 26, 1838, having come through with teams from Vermont, where he had been a farmer, which occupa- tion he followed here. The grandfather of J. T. Currier was David Currier, who was also a farmer, and whose father, Caleb Cur-

rier, was of foreign descent. The mother of our subject was Sally (Willey) Currier, a na- tive of New Hampshire, where she was boru June 20, 1790. She died May 1, 1873, in Neponset. She was a daughter of Paul Willey, and was the mother of nine children, viz .: David, John, Elizabeth P., Augusta, Asa, Jonathan T. (our subject), Sally and Nancy (who both died iu infancy) and Mary M. Mr. Currier had but few school advan- tages in early life, very unlike the young men of to-day, but he inherited that strong will-power and determination to which he owes his success in life. In 1838, at the age of fifteen, he came West with his parents, and for many years farmed successfully in Stark County. In 1869 he came to Nepouset, where he now resides in a spacious residence, and where he intends to enjoy the fruit of many years of toil. Financially Mr. Currier's life has been very successful. He started in life without a dollar, and now is considered one of the wealthiest men in the township, owning over 1,200 acres of choice land in Bureau and Stark Counties besides other property. He was married May 2, 1855, in Princeton, Ill., to Martha J. Hoblit, who was born December 27, 1835, in Clinton County, Ohio.
