Wilson, although not among the first settled, is making rapid strides towards competing in improvements with her sister town- ships. It contains six school districts, two miles square, and each is supplied with a good school-house. The roads are laid out, mainly, on the section lines, and are kept in fair condition. The population for the last 20 years is as follows: 1860, 314; 1870, 640; more than doubled in one decade; 1880, 666. The farms are well improved, and the farm-houses and barns are in keeping with the times. The township received its name from the Wil- sons, who were pioneers, and among the most prominent citizens.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
PHOTO. BY F. O. PRASF.
JACOB WALTERS.
JACOB WALTERS, one of the oldest settlers in De Witt county, was born in Pennsylvania in 1801. His father and mother ( An- drew and Sarah Walters), were also natives of that state. Jacob was the second child in a family of ten children(five boys and five girls). When he was about seven years of age, viz. in 180x, his parents removed to Ohio, and settled upou a farm in Perry county, of that state, and in the subscription schools extant at that time the subject of this sketch obtained his education, which was necessarily of a limited character, for most of his boyhood days were passed in hard work upon his father's farm.
In 1824, J. Walters was married to Miss Phoebe Bateson of Ohio, by whom he has a family of ten children, all of them mar- ried and living at the present time. He and his family removed from Ohio, to De Witt county in 1833, and settled (as was then the custom) in the timber upon the site of his parent's home, in the south-east corner of Wilson township.
At that time the county was but sparsely settled, and both energy and courage were required to battle with the numerous obstacles to a successful and peaceful rural existence, and these qualifications Jacob Walters undoubtedly possessed, which, per- haps, the following anecdote partly illustrates.
About two years after Mr. Walters came to this county, ac- companied by bis neighbor Thomas for Tommy ) Wilson and three boys, he came upon a wolf's-den on the prairie three miles from the timber ; the boys were sent home for the dogs, guns, etc. in order to dispatch the wolf family for the sake of the bounty, then paid by the county for a wolf's scalp. As soon as the boys had departed the wolf-dam, who had been lingering near, started hastily for another point in the timber, and as Mr. Walters ex- pressed to his friend,-to fetch assistance,-he was right in his conjecture for in a short time she returned at full speed in company with two very large gray wolves, and the three side by
side with ruffled fur, gleaming eyes, and snapping jaws, made straight for the hapless hunters-the courage and presence of mind displayed by Mr. Walters undoubtedly saved their lives- instead of running away as doubtless some would have done, he rushed towards them, shouting and clapping his hands-the fero- cious beasts stopped at a short distance from him, and squatting snapped their jaws together in rage evidently surprised, and hesi- tating to attack, he kept them at bay in this manner until the boys returned, when their dogs scared them out of range; the cubs were however secured and the five dollars bounty obtained for each of them.
Mr. Walters by his diligence and industry was at one time the owner of a thousand acres of prairie land, in addition to his home farm of one hundred and sixty acres, which ( with the exception of the latter) he bas from time to time distributed amongst his children. Mrs. Phoebe Walters died in 1870. in her 66th, year. Seven years later in February 1877, Jacob Walters was married to his present wife, who was a Miss Martha Baird, the daughter of Wm. L and Martha G. Baird, the former of Kentucky, the latter of Virginia. Miss Martha was born in Kentucky, but at the time of her marriage was a resident of Woodford county, Illinois.
Mr. Walters has never sought an official position in the county, preferring to bestow his entire business ability upon a farming life. In polities he is a democrat and cast his first vote for Jackson, in 1829. His faith is that of the Presbyterian church, while Mrs. W. is a member of the Christian denomination.
In spite of his eighty-one years, Mr. Walters is yet an active man, as full of life and energy as most men of seventy, and bids fair to live many years yet, honored and respected, as he has been in the past.

TEXAS TOWNSHIP
AS so called, from the fact that Daniel New- comb, a citizen of Clinton, sold out with the intention of going to Texas, changed his mind and located within the limits of this town- ship, saying it was good enough for him and as far into Texas as he wanted to get. The joke was perpetuated in the bestowal of the name. It is located in the central southern part of the county, and contains thirty-six square miles. The northern part is quite hilly and well drained by Salt creek and its tributaries. Salt creek enters the township on section twelve and flows a general westerly course across the township, leaving it on section seven. Its principal tributary is Coon creek, which enters on section three, flows south- west and empties into it on seetion seventeen. The southern part is prairie, part of it low and wet, and part high and rolling. The timber belt, following the water course, covers an area of nearly one-half the township.
Indians, both Kickapoos and Pottawattamies, were found camped here by the first whites who spied out the country. They had a burial ground on the banks of the creek on seetion sixteen, from which skeletons have been exhumed. Here they met in council and in worship. At one of these meetings, perhaps a little west of here, Thomas Davenport saw nearly five hundred In- dians gathered together. Their exercises consisted in dancing, eating and talking. They built a fire and hung over it a large ket- tle in which they put a beef to boil. Then they would march around the fire, stopping now and then to hear a harangue. For the benefit of the whites present, an interpreter told them that their orator said " good men go up, bad men go down," pointing up and down as he said it in the Indian tongue. They had pad- dles about eighteen inches in length, on which was something written in their language, and to which they most attentively paid attention at a given signal. This paddle the interpreter called their Bible. Davenport says he never saw better order than was maintained at their meeting. Two parties were deputized as marshals and provided with sticks, which they used whenever any display calculated to mar the usual prevailing harmony was made.
There was a tradition among the early settlers that a pot of gold was buried with a chief in the graveyard on section sixteen. They set to work to find it, and many a day was lost in fruit- less search.
Among the earliest settlers was Thomas Davenport. IIe came to this county from Sangamon, where his father, a Kentuckian. named George Davenport, had located in 1820. At that time their mail was procured from Edwardsville, Madison county, it being the nearest post-office. Postage on a letter from Kentucky
was twenty-five cents. In 1829 Davenport came to this county and located on section four. He brought with him a wife and two children. A son, George F. who was born in February, I-32, was the first birth in Texas township. Davenport was in the Black Hawk war. He was a great hunter, and relates his experi- ences in this field of sport with much zeal. He once caught eight eoons in a single stump. At another time in company with Josiah Clifton he found a bee tree containing a comb eleven feet in length. These pioneers together frequently would find three or four bee trees in a single day. Their usual mode of traveling on such hunts was ox back, a thing not uncommon in an early day. At one time he killed four large wild turkey gobblers before breakfast. He relates that in 184I having heard that C' H. Moore, a lawyer, had located in Clinton, he concluded now was his chance to get a little cash for some fish, as he thought a lawyer would certainly have money. He took a nice lot to town and offered them to Moore, who said " he would like to have a fish very much, but hadn't any money." "Thus it is," reflects Davenport now old in years, " Moore now has the money but I still have fish."
Benjamin Slatten, a Kentuckian, came here in 1829, lived a few months in what is now Clintonia township, then moved to Texas. He built a cabin on Coon creek (which took its name from his being a great and very successful coon hunter and having survived for weeks on coon meat ) where he lived until some time in 1832 when he was married to Henrietta Lane, daughter of Tillmon Lane, Sr. The marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. James K. Scott, a minister in the Christian Connection order. It took place at Tillmon Lane's home in Waynesville township.
Nehemiah Clifton located here on section twenty-one. In common with most of the early settlers he was also from Ken- tueky. He was a large, muscular man, well calculated to "rough it," as pioneers had to do. He brought a family of five children, of whom Job and William were twins.
Following these came John Lowery, and a nephew Trink, from Kentucky, who located on section twenty-one, also David Willis, in 1835, to seetion twenty-three.
The first land entries were :

little is known of them or their history. The first land broke for agricultural purposes here, was by William Spillers in [832, in all about eight acres, and to Richard Dogget is accredited the honor of having planted out the first orchard, perhaps the same year. Some of these trees are still standing. They were all seedlings ; some of the fruit was fine in quality.
The first wedding was that of James Lowery and Sarah Clifton in the Summer of 1833 They were married at the house of the bride's father, Nehemiah Clifton. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Solomon Despain, a Baptist minister of Waynesville.
Among the first deaths, if not the first of adults, was that of William Smith, who accidentally killed himself whilst attempt- ing to cut a limb from a tree when on horseback. He missed his aim, the axe buried itself in his arm severing an artery, from which he bled to death. His remains were deposited on his own land, a place used simply as a family burial ground. This oc- curred in 1837.
The first grave in a regular burial ground was that of a two year old daughter of Jub Clifton on section twenty-one, in 1843.
The first preaching was by the venerable Rev. W. S. Crissey, of Decatur, a Methodist minister, at the house of John Lowery, in 1835. Soon after Moses Clamp followed, having been assigned to a circuit including this place.
The first teacher was George Davenport in 1837. The school- house was a rnde structure of round timber, very rough puncheon floor and seats. In all he bad about a dozen pupils. Among them he remembers Frank, Joseph and Wesley Lowery, David Willis, William Cox, Louisa Lowery, Matilda Willis, Rhoda and Emily Davenport. Text books used were the old Elementary Speller, Pike's Western Calculator and the New Testament.
The first mill was built on Salt creek, section fifteen, by Allen in 1837. It was a water mill provided with an undershot wheel. Both sawing and grinding was done. The second, and only other mill was built by - Mayall on the same creek, on section thirteen, in 1848. It is now owned and operated by As- bury Smallwood. It is a good, substantial mill, provided with undershot wheel, and is also a combined saw and grist mill. Its capacity is quite limited, being dependent upon the water supply, and the grinding being limited to a single run of stone.
The first and only blacksmith in the township was George Clifton, who was a Baptist minister as well. The small kit of touls he brought with him would not to-day receive recognition as a smithy. His labors were confined to mending and horse- shoeing.
The first Justice of the peace was Trink Lowery. There are in the township two houses of publie worship belonging to the Bap- tist and Christian orders. They are in close proximity, both be- ing on section twenty-one. The only industry carried on inde- pendent of farming is milling at the Mayall mill. Although the township has twelve miles of railroad within its limits it is with- out a station. One is in contemplation on the line of the Midland railroad on section thirty. The roads passing through the town-
ship are the Illinois Central from North to South, entering on section three and leaving on section thirty-five; the Havana branch of the Wabash, better known as the I. B. & W , which enters on section one and leaves on section two; the Gilman branch of the Illinois Central entering on section five and leaving on section six ; the Illinois Midlaud, or P. A. & D. railroad, entering on section thirty three and leaving on section thirty. In order to avail themselves of either of these roads, patrons have to go into adjoining townships where facilities are offered.
Since township organization has taken effect this township has been represented in the County Board by Wilson Allen, from 1859 to 1867; D. M. Walker, 1867; George Hartsock, 1868; William M. Moore, 1869; J. W. Blue, 1870; W. H. Greer, 1871 ; William M. Moore, 1872; W. M. Phares, 1873 to 1877 ; Thomas Cornwell, 1877 ; Edward Weld, 1878; A. E. Newman, 1879 to 1881, and Cornelins Kelly, 1881, the present incumbent. Of these the first elected, Wilson Allen, was chosen chairman of the Board during the years 1860. 1863, 1865 and 1866.
This is pre-eminently a grazing district. Sheep husbandry re- ceives marked attention. Sheep men say that the township can well sustain five head to the acre, of grazing lands, an aggregate of over twenty thousand head. Among those most interested in this industry are William Haberfield, Job W. Blue, Samuel Wade and David Schenck.
The following statistics are gathered fron the assessment for the year 1881. In the township there were 597 horses; 1872 head of cattle ; 60 mules ; 2406 sheep ; 2091 hogs; 223 carriages and wagons; 33 watches and clocks; 93 sewing machines; 2 pianos ; 15 organs and melodeons. The total value of personal property was placed at 853,069 ; of real estate 8262.807.
An application has gone forward in behalf of the location of a post office to be called Blue Ridge, in honor of the prime mover in this behalf, John Blue, on section twenty-five ; doubtless before this work is in the hands of its readers the location of the office will have been an accomplished fact. John Blue, a man of enterprise and energy has secured from the railroad company the location of a station at the same point. Its erection will doubtless be fol- lowed by other industries.
The population of Texas township in 1860 was 893; in 1870, 1.064, and in 1880, 950.
There are two neat church houses occupied respectively by the Baptist and Christian orders. The Baptist was the first built, the original house being erected iu 1843, whilst the Christian was built in 1870.
Prominent among her farmers are William Phares, who came from Ohio in 1847; Charles McCuddy, from Kentucky in 1839; Uriah James, who was born in this county in 1849; David Schenck, William Haberfield and Eason Johnson, who came from Ohio in 1859. Eason Johnson brought a family of six children with him : Amos, Hulda, Ira, Alice, who died September 25, 1873, Joseph E and Emma J. They all live in this county except Amos, in Kansas, and Ira, in Colorado.
