Big Lake, the scene of the murder, is a fine sheet of water, about one mile long and a quarter of a mile wide, in the south-west corner of the town ship.
A Cemetery, and the first of which anything definite is known, was laid out in Section 25, by Newton Jackson, William Benjamin and Absalom Farmer.
Some attention has been paid to the improvement of stock. Justin R. Ryman introduced the first blooded hogs.
The Carlisle and Vandalia Road was the first public road opened. The Schools are in good condition, and well attended.
The principal products are wheat, corn, rye, oats and timothy. The land is also well adapted to grazing. Few townships in the county are better situated or more productive.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
WM. FARMER.
JUDGE FARMER is one of the few survivors who have lived to see the pri- mitive and sparsely settled territory of Illinois, develop into a grand and prosperous commonwealth. He is a native of Christian County, Kentucky, where he was born March 3rd, 1808. His parents Absalom and Ailsy (Heyatt) Farmer, were natives of North Carolina, and emigrated to Kentucky shortly after their marriage. Absalom Farmer was one of those adventurous
frontiersmen, always in the vanguard of the victorious army of civilization Consequently his son William enjoyed none of the advantages of early educa- tion. In 1829 he removed to Illinois, then a comparative wilderness. He married on the 28th of September, 1828, Miss Lucy Ann Jackson, by whom he had nine children, of whom only one is now living, Eliza Ann, who married A. T. Davidson, and now residing in Pope Township, near her father. Mrs. Farmer died March 3rd, 1848. Mr. Farmer subsequently married Margaret Phelps, a native of his adopted state, and of which

her parents were among the early pioneers, they having emigrated from Tennessee. By this union they had three children, all of whom are now (1877) living. John A. the eldest, was born January 28th, 1850, and still living in his native township, Mary Jane, born Sept. 26th, 1851, and married to John O. Kidder, now residing in Texas, William M., born June 5th, 1853, now a resident of Vandalis, and member of the law firm of Henry, Farmer and Chapin. Mrs. Farmer, after a long and severe illness, which she endured with true Christian fortitude and patience, died at the homestead Nov. 6th, 1855. In her death her family sustained a loes incalculable. On the 10th of Nov., 1867, Mr. Farmer married Elizabeth Linton Brown. They had one child, Hiram W., now a promising lad of nine summers. On his arrival in this state, Mr. Farmer located about two miles from where he now resides, near the line of Marion County. In 1836 he moved to his present home, in section 26, town 4, range 1 west. He brought with him to the state nothing in the way of pecuniary capital, but he had those sterling qualities of mind and heart that are sure to bring their happy possessor a comfortable competency and unbounded honor and respect. After making his selection for his future home he immediately entered land, and industriously and vigorously set to work clearing and cultivating it, in order that he might provide a comfortable home for himself and family. In 1832 he enlisted under Capt. Robbins' command in the Black Hawk war, and engaged in the battle of Carlogue's Grove, where they were surprised by
the Indians, and suffered severe loss. He remained with the army until the conclusion of peace, when he returned to his home and old parsuits. In politics he has always been a Democrat of the Douglass School. During the late war he was an earnest friend and supporter of the union cause, and did much in his neighborhood, to allay sectional animosities. His sou, Asbury L., enlisted in the union army, and while at Commerce, Missouri, where his command was stationed, he contracted disease which resulted in his death. In a financial way Mr. Farmer has accomplished much, and deserves credit for his manful course in life. His success as a public officer is sufficiently attested by the fact of his having been repeatedly elected to positions of public trust. In 1832 while absent in the Indian war, he was elected constable, and has continuously been in office up to the present time. In May 1877 he declined re-election as Justice of the Peace, a position he held repeatedly. In 1856 he was one of the associate Justices of the county, and is now township treasurer, which he has been for the past twenty years. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has for the past twenty- five years, been actively engaged in furthering its doctrines and work. He has devoted considerable time to the study of medicine, cheerfully giving his time and whatever skill he possessed to suffering humanity, and is now in his seventieth year beginning to bow to the tyrant "Time," but has the con- sciousness and satisfaction of having obeyed the divine injunction, of employ- ing his talents to the benefit of his fellows and the glory of his God.
AVENA TOWNSHIP.
MONG the first settlers in this township we find the name of Thos. Honeycut, who was an old Tennessee hunter, and came to the county at a very early day. He settled in the north-western part of the township, in the timber where game was plenty. It is uncertain, however, whether he came to the township sooner than George and Wiley Howard, who settled at Howard's Point (after whom it was named), near St. Elmo, in 1834 or 1835.
Howard's Point afterwards became quite a prosperous little village, sup- porting one or two stores, a tavern, a stage line, blacksmith shop, wagon shop, post-office, &c. Now it is merged into a suburb of St. Elmo. Other old settlers who deserve mention were Tarey Miller, Aaron Gibson, H. P. Logue, Alfred Watson, John Dearborn, Phillip Shull, John Logue, Paul Baughman, Wm. Guy, Henry Waterman, Joseph Cameron, Andrew Vance, and Dr. Rigdon.
The first families who settled in the township were from Tennessee, and located in the western part, near Sugar Creek, about the year 1830. The next settlement was made at Howard's Point, about 1834, by some Ohio families. We find it impossible to tell who built the first house, as all the oldest settlers are dead. The first school taught in the township was probably at Howard's Point, in an old dwelling-house, in 1840, although Wm. Smith may have taught sooner, as he was an old teacher in this township.
Nicholas Helms built the first saw-mill in the township, in 1838, on Sugar Creek. The timbers were all hewn on the ground, and the lumber sawed with a whip-saw, for its erection. Townsend and Yawlton, a few years after, built the first steam saw. and grist mill on the same stream. There are now two fine steam flouring mille in the township, one at St. Elmo, the other at Avena, and two saw mills doing a fine business. The first church in the township was built by the Methodists at Shiloh, on the Shelbyville Road, in the northern part of the township. About 1850 the Rev. Mr. Nall was its first pastor, although there had been preaching in schools and private houses for many years before. The Rev. Mr. Allen probably preached the first ser- mon in a log cabin, to a rough, thoroughly honest, and earnest audience. The second church was built by the Catholics in the northern part of the township, near C. Seibert's residence, in 1855. It has since burned down.
The first school district, embracing the north half of the township, was formed in 1840, by Messrs. Cameron, Cochrane, Logue, Bovard, Welker, Smith and others, who at once went to work building a school-house out of rough logs. with hewn slab or puncheon floor and stick chimney, with an old- fashioned fire-place taking up one entire end of the building.
The first store in the township was opened in 1884 or '35, by a Mr. Simons at Howard's Point, for the accommodation of the workmen on the National Road, which was being built at that time. He also sold goods to the settlers. Henry Waterman built and kept the first tavern about this time, and soon after established several lines of stages carrying the United States Mail. He was also the first Postmaster in the township at Howard's Point, about 1837. There were several bridges built in the township, on the old National Road, in 1834 and 1835. Most of them are still standing in a good state of preserva- tion, having been in constant use over forty years.
Wm. Gay, of Howard's Point, and one of the old settlers of the township, deserves the credit of introducing the first imported stock into this part of the county. He purchased some Durham cattle for breeding purposes. much improving his own stock, as well as that of his neighbors in the adjoining townships, which operations were continued until he died, in 1865.
Dr. George Halbrook was the first practicing physician in the township, frequently having to ride twenty and twenty-five miles to visit a patient, as was customary in early times, and then taking his pay in coon skins, when he received any remuneration for his services.
The northwestern portion of the township is heavily timbered, and conse- quently but thinly settled, there being bat few inhabitants except along the streams and edges of the timber, although eventually it will become one of the best wheat growing portions of the township, the soil being peculiarly adapted to the growing of that cereal, and the surface sufficiently undulating to drain it thoroughly. The timber in this part of the township gives em- ployment to a great many men, cutting and making railroad ties, sawing lumber, &c. The central and south-eastern part is mostly level prairie land, with a very rich black soil, well adapted to corn-growing and pasturage. The farmers, however, raise a fair proportion of wheat and other crops, in com- parison with other parts of the county. This township is well watered by several small streams flowing through it, all tributaries of the Kaskaskia ; the largest, Sugar Creek, running through the northern part, and several smaller through the central and southern portions. The population is about equally divided between the Americans and Germans, both parties doing their utmost to develop the resources of the township.
The timbered portion of this township is underlaid with a bed of sand- stone, valuable for building purposes.
The town of St. Elmo, a flourishing village situated on the line of the St. Louis, Vandalia and Terre Haute Railroad, in Section 27, was incorpo, rated in 1871, and has a population of about 400. It has two general stores,

two grocery stores, one hardware and stove store, one drug store, one hotel and saloon, one fine steam mill, a livery stable, lumber yard, and, in fact, all the different kinds of business are fully represented. The present town offi- cers are: Dr. H. T. Hollis, Chairman of the Board; J. H. Johnson, P. M. Johnson, Joseph Pinckley, and Peter Heckert, Aldermen, and J. C. Shera, Clerk. The Methodists have a fine church, with a large and appreciative congregation, at this place.
Fayette Lodge, No. 436, I. O. O. F., is located here, with a membership of something over twenty. It was instituted October 11th, 1870. Its charter members were, R. F. Young, J. H. Young, A. H. Dutton, T. Ainsworth and G. W. Fletcher. The present officers are : B. H. Young, N. G., J. S. Wire- man, V. G., J. C. Shera, Secretary, and S. L. Raney, Treasurer.
The United Workmen also have a flourishing Lodge here, and are doing much good with their charities.
St. Elmo has a large and commodious school-house, capable of accommo- dating one hundred and fifty scholars. and has efficient teachers.
We clip the following from the Vandalia Union of Wednesday, Sept. 12th, 1877 :
"St. Elmo was the scene of great excitement on Monday. A Mr. Scoles, whose family was absent, on getting near his house about 9 A. M., saw a man
leave it and go into the brush. Unhitching's horse, he followed and inter- cepted the man a short distance away, when he was shot from his horse by the miscreant, who approached and shot him twice more.
"The alarm was given, and the murderer was driven into & corn-field, where, being approached by three men, Wireman, Long, and Barnes, whose shots missed him, he turned and shot both Wireman and Barnes, and Long's horse. The field was surrounded and guarded all Monday and Monday night. He was seen last about 5 o'clock Monday afternoon. Scoles and Barnes were killed; Wireman is not likely to recover-all were shot in the head with a large navy revolver. The murderer is supposed to be a tramp. Sheriff Taylor and Deputy Cox went over with postes on Monday, but nothing, so far as we have learned, has been effected. The murderer has probably escaped."
The town of Avena, on Section 31 of Avena Township, was settled in 1871. It is on the St. Louis, Vandalia and Terre Haute Railroad, about ten miles east of Vandalia, in the midst of a fiue farming country, and is a flourishing little town of about 100 inhabitants. Among its business enterprises may be found a steam flouring mill with two run of burrs, one general store, black- smith and wagon shop, and other trading facilities sufficient to meet the wants of the people.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
BENJAMIN MAHON,
OR " Ben " Mahon, as he is called by every man, woman and child in the county, was born November 6th, 1822, in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. His parents, Doctor and Polly Mahon, were natives of that State, and emigrated to Illinois in .1833, moving in ox-wagons, and taking fifty-two days to make their journey. On arriving in Illinois they settled in what is now Wilberton Township, on Section 10, buying a squatter's claim and a dog from Anderson Helms, for the sum of nineteen (19) dollars.
" Ben," the subject of our sketch, was the sixth child of a family of eight children, and lived at home until he was twenty-six years of age, when he was married to Elizabeth Thompson, August 31st, 1848. She is a daughter of B. Ward Thompson, one of the oldest living settlers of the county, and was born February 18th, 1830, in the City of Vandalia. They have had born to them a family of nine children. Those living are as follows : Agnes A., the wife of Thos. W. Brandon, born November 7th, 1852: Laura L., March 21st, 1857 ; Winnie L., March 20th, 1866; Fannie F., June 24th, 1869, and Ollie E., July 30th, 1872. The record of those who are dead is as follows :
Mary S., born June 27th ; married March 14th, 1869, to Milton F. Moore; died October 29th, 1874. Dolly Jane, born November 23d, 1854; married, September 11th, 1873, to Edwin Kistler ; died February 16th, 1876. Betty W., born June 17th, 1860; died August 22d, 1865. Isadora A., born Octo- ber 18th, 1863; died October 14th, 1865.
Mr. Mahon is a member and preacher of the Old School Baptist Church. He was baptized August 5th, 1849, by Samuel H. Pullen, and commenced preaching in December of the same year. He has probably preached in more houses than any man in the county, often making his appointments & year ahead, and always filling them. He now, at the age of sixty years, travels from four to five thousand miles, and preaches from one hundred to one hundred and fifty sermons per annum. At present he is living on a farm in Avena Township, on which he makes a good living. He never re- ceived a salary for preaching in his life, devoting his time and his talents to the good of his fellow-men, and not for the purpose of making money.
He is a fine specimen of the pioneer preacher; a rough diamond, loving his joke, but a kind Christian gentleman.
LOUDON TOWNSHIP.
ITUATED in the north-east corner of Fayette County, was par- tially settled as early as 1830. A family named Ammerman were probably the first occupants of what in those days was considered, perhaps, the most desirable of situations, plenty of timber and no scarcity of water. The Kaskaskia river forming the western boundary of the township, and its tributaries watering the central and south- ern portions of it. The character of the soil is a sandy loam, but nearly the whole of the township is yet heavily timbered.
Amongst the early settlers who came here between the years 1835 and 1840, we find the following names: Steven Ammerman, James and John Ammerman, John Harris, John Reiley, Rich'd Brazzel, Isaac Kipsword, Griffin Kipsword, and Matthew Capps. The first settlement was made near the Kaskaskia River, by the Ammerman family. Later on amongst the names of old settlers we find the inevitable John Smith, Sapp family, Harris family, John Bock, John Graves, Joe Rhodes, Dan'l Buzzard, John Bur-
roughs, Wm. Tilton, Wm. Chater, Hy. Farmer, Joseph Stewart, Rob't Holmes, Josh. and John Wright, John Ryan, Wm. Morrison, Ed. Clow, Matthew Ammerman, Jonathan Watson, and others.
First Marriage .- The first couple married in Loudon Township were Joe Waller and Maria Carlisle. The second marriage was consummated between Matthew Ammerman and Mary Capps ; this was in the year 1840.
Deaths .- The death of Finas Neely was the first that occurred in the township. And the old Ammerman grave-yard was the first burying- ground laid out ; this was in the year 1835.
Schools .- The first school-house erected in the township was a building con- structed of logs, in 1840, near the center of the township, on Section 16. There are at the present day seven school districts, each district having good, substantial school buildings.
Churches .- About thirty-five years ago the Methodists constructed a log building in which to hold their services, on Section 29 of this township.

HISTORY OF FAYETTE COUNTY, ILLINOIS.
Both the Methodists and Baptists have to-day regular organized Churches. At an early day before any church was erected, sermons were preached in the private houses of the old pioneers, and Griffin Kipsword, a Baptist, is said to have preached the first sermon.
Saw and Grist Mills .-- In 1835, John Riley owned a grist-mill which was situated on Big Creek, in the south-west part of the township. This mill was run by horse-power .. And a year or two later, Joseph Stewart owned a saw-mill near the same locality. There are now some four or five saw-mills in the township in addition to numerous grist-mills.
Crime .- In December of 1841, Geo. Ogle, a resident of this township, was tried for the murder of his wife, and hanged. And about four years ago, Levi Ammerman killed a man named James Jackson. The trouble arose through matters connected with the Jackson family. L. Ammerman stood his trial and was cleared.
Roads and Bridges, &c .- The first road running through this township was the Shelbyville road, and the first bridge crossed Big Creek upon this road. This was in 1837.
The first store in the township was kept at Post Oak, in 1839, by Jas. Drake. And in 1846, Rob't McConnell kept tavern in the same place. And some two years later finds Joshua Morris Post-master at Post Oak.
In what is called the Kaskaskia Bottom, near the Kask askia River, some
extensive lakes are to be found at certain sescons of the year, but in very dry weather they disappear.
The population in the township are nearly all native-born Americans, many of whom emigrated from the States of Ohio and Tennessee.
Holliday .- The town of Holliday, situated on the county line, one half of it being in Shelby County, was laid out in 1873 by Thomas Holliday. It is situated on Section 23, on the Springfield branch of the O. and M. R. R. It has a population of about one hundred inhabitants, and the following businees places are represented, viz. ; two general stores, one drug store, two blacksmiths' shops, one wagon shop, one saw and grist-mill, (this is worked by steam, and is the property of Mr. Holliday,) one physician, and one shoe-maker. There is also a good school-house in the town.
Greenland Masonic Lodge, No. 665, chartered October 3d, 1871, now, however, situated at Holliday, has twenty-three in membership. The fol- lowing are the charter members: G. W. Spurgin. W. M. ; Jesse D. Jen- nings, S. W .; John Willa, J. W. ; Jacob Young, O. P. Nevins, Sam'l Beal, Sam'l D. Lorton, W. H. Jennings, Sam'l Arnold, Wm. Alsop, Thos. D. Tennery, H. S. Arnold, Rich. A. Lilly, Eli Underwood. Present Officers : Jas. K. Flinniken, W. M. ; B. F. Markland, S. W. ; Dr. Eara Shelton, J. W .; G. R. Spurgin, Sec .; 8. D. Lorton, Troms .; Henry Miller, S. D. ; Wm. Logue, J. D.
LONE GROVE TOWNSHIP.
HIS Township was formed in 1876, by taking a portion from the Townships of Wilberton and La Clede, and comprises a com- plete geographical township within its limits.
Among its early settlers who deserve mention as taking an active part in developing this portion of the county we find the names of Widow Collins, Daniel Hedges, George Wilcher and Mr. McPate. These parties came here between the years 1830 and 1835. James Edwards, Solomon Harris, Samuel G. Harris, James Godsey, H. W. Tucker, J. W. L. Tucker, Thomas Williams, John Brazzle, Allen Ross, Rodger Williams, Alexander Hamilton, B. D. Johnson, Amos McDaniel, E. D. Bolen, James Brown and Wm. F. Countryman, all of whom came at a later date, some- where between 1840 and 1850, yet may be considered as old settlers in the township.
Soil, &c .- The nature of the soil in this township is a black loam, very rich and productive. With the exception of a small portion of timber land in the north-west and south-east corners of the county, the whole township is prairie. East Fork Creek flows through the south-east portion of the township and after flowing through Bond and Clinton Counties, falls into the Kaskaskia River, at the extreme south-we t corner of Fayette County. Wheat is the staple article grown in Lone Grov. Township, althor , grass, corn and other commodities are produced in abundance.
The earliest road made in this township, which was in 1825, was called_ the Vandalia and Maysville Road ; and the first bridge was built on the same road in the same year.
About one-half of the inhabitants of this township are Germane, and the balance native Americans.
Churches, &c .- There are two Church buildings in this township, one be- longing to the Cumberland Presbyterians, and the other was erected by the United Brethren, in the year 1870, and situated in the north part of the township.
The Cumberland Presbyterians organized in 1858, with six members only.
Their first preacher was Andrew Findley. This denomination now have a nice little church near the north line of the township, and membership of more than one hundred. The following Churches also have organizations, but no church buildings, viz. : the Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians and Lutherans. Probably the first preacher in the township was Jemee Doolan, who preached in private houses as early as 1840.
Schools .- The first School building erected in this township was built upon Section 7, near where Thompson Mahon now resides. It was constructed of rough logs, in the year 1857. Soon af the organization of the township in 1876 it was divided into school distr .. . , and it now has six good school- houses, with efficient teachers. There she also two private schools, under the direction and management of the Lutheran Obur. .. denomination very strong in this township. Van Rensalaer Heusti
stive of New York, was the first teacher.
Lodges .- Two Granger Lodges exist in the township, with a fair mem- bership.
Fir it Settlement .- The first settlement was made at Lone Grove,-from which the township derives its name,-by Mesers. McPate, Hedges, Havil ton and Mrs. Collins moving in and building about the same time, viz., in 1830.
First Birth .- Mary Williams, now the wife of J. W. L. Tucker, super. visor, from this township, was the first child born within the township limits. This was in 1839. Elizabeth Faulkner and Martin McPate were born the following year-1840.
First Marriages .- Joseph Gray and Harriet Upton were married in 1844, and William White and Aggie Collins were married in 1845.
First Deaths .- A child of Pliant Mahon's died in 1837, which was pro- bably the first death in the township. Daniel Hedges, one of the oldest settlers, died in the winter of 1889. They were both buried on Section 34, in the southern part of the township, where the burying-ground wa, first laid out.
