chandising business ; here he remained for a period of five years, gaining an ex- tensive trade. In 1851 he moved to Car- rollton, his old home, where he entered into a general merchandising business with William P. Barr. The new firm conducted a successful business for a term of four years, when the firm dissolved partnership by mutual consent, Mr. Wheeler now branching off into the lumber trade, and here also he continued a prosperous busi- ness until the close of the rebellion, when on account of ill health he was compelled to relinquish all active business. In 1867 he was elected Police Magistrate, acting in this capacity two years. In 1878 Mr. Wheeler was requested by his many friends in the city of Carrollton to allow his name to be used in connection with the mayor- alty, it being well known that he was a strict advocate of temperance. Although he had many difficulties to contend against, King Alcohol holding full power for many a year, he was elected by a large ma- jority, when we take into consideration the fact that never before perhaps had a strictly temperance candidate been elected. In 1850 Mr. W. was married to Miss Mary L. Eldred, a daughter of Elon Eldred, by whom he had three children : Adah, Mari- etta and Elon E.

WITHERS HON. HENRY C.,
attorney at law, Carrollton, was born in Girard County, Ky., on the 10th of Jan- uary, 1839. His father, William Withers, was the son of Abijsh Withers, whose father, William Withers, removed from Virginia to Kentucky at an early period, where the family thereafter resided. His parental ancestry were originally natives of England and Scotland ; came to Amer- ica and settled in Virginia prior to the revolution. His mother, Elizabeth Withers, was the daughter of the Hon. Horatio
Bruce, a distinguished politician of the Democratic party of Kentucky. and Eliza- beth Beasely of Ohio. Mr. Bruce was one of the first men of Kentucky of any prom- inence to advocate a repeal of the laws imprisoning for debt, and it was mainly through his influence and exertion while a member of the legislature that it was suc- cessfully accomplished. He was born in Virginia and at an early age moved to Kentucky. His father, John Bruce, and eight sons, older brothers of Horatio, served through the war for independence under General Washington, and also served during the war of 1812. He was a cousin of Henry Clay, and an uncle of the present Judge Horatio W. Bruce, of Louis- ville, Ky. The Bruces are of Scotch origin and claim kinship to King Robert, the founder of the Stuart dynasty. His grandfather Bruce had eight brothers who were lawyers, four of whom were legislators and some of them especially distinguished, and admiration for his character influenced more than any other, our subject to choose the profession of the law. In 1846 his parents left Kentucky and settled in Greene County. There he attended the common school during the winter months only, working on the farm the remainder of the year. But so great was his zeal and ambi- tion that his progress in learning was equal to that of his classmates who attended throughout the entire year. At seventeen he entered the Berean College, at Jackson- ville, Ill., at which he commenced a classi- cal course of study. After two years he became proficient in the Greek, Latin and German languages and mathematics. Lack of means on the part of his parents made a further prosecution of the collegiate course impossible. He subsequently taught a common school near Alexander Station, Morgan County. In the Summer of 1858 he worked as a farm laborer in Greene County, making a full hand at all kinds of farm work during the season. The follow- ing winter he began the study of law under Hon. James W. English at Carrollton, where he permanently settled in 1867. He formed a copartnership with Hon. David M. Woodson, deceased, who for sixteen years served in the capacity of Circuit Judge. In 1860 he became an active sup-

porter of Stephen A. Douglas for the Pres- idency, and acquired, during that cam- paign, some reputation as a speaker. In 1865-6 he edited in an able manner the Carrollton Democrat. In 1872 he was a delegate to the Baltimore Convention and indorsed the platform there made in 1866. At the age of twenty-seven he was elected to the House of Representatives from Greene County, and in Aug. 1874, was elected as an independent candidate to the office of State's attorney, March 18, 1863, he was married to Fanny, only daughter of the late David M. Woodson, one of the most upright men that founded a home within the borders of Greene County. Two sons were born of this marriage : Meade W. and William H.
WOOD BLATCHLEY C. REV.,
M. D. Carrollton. Blatchley Wood is a native of Truedell County, North Carolina; was born on the 5th of November, 1797, and is the eldest son of Miller Wood and Malinda M. Campbell, the former a na- tive of Long Island, N. Y., and the latter of Culpepper County, Va. The family was first represented in America by his paternal grandfather and brothers, who emigrated from England about 1690, and settled on what is called Wood's Neck, on Long Island. About the same time Dr. Ebenezer Blatchley, one of his paternal great-grand- fathers, emigrated from Scotland and set- tled in the same place. He was a Presby- terian, and left his native land that he might enjoy civil and religious liberty, a motive which prompted Adam Campbell, also the maternal grandfather of our subject, who settled in Culpepper County, Va., and there married Elizabeth Morgan, and reared a large family. While the subject of our notice was yet an infant his parents moved to Warren County, Ky., where his father was for many years a planter, in good circumstances. He was a man of ex- cellent character, upright and true, and used every means for the moral develop- ment of his family. Blatchley passed his early life in agricultural pursuits, and im- bibed there those habits of industry and frugality that have marked his entire sub- sequent career. His educational advantages however, were meager, there being few schools in Kentucky at that time; but
.
being an apt and careful student, he availed himself of every opportunity of acquiring knowledge, and thus, largely by his own private study, gained a good English edu- cation. His life has always been pure and exemplary. In his own words : "I do not recollect of ever swearing an oath in my life, yet conscious of the prevalence of passion from my earliest recollection, of a heart disposed to wickedness, so that, not- withstanding the restraint by which I was kept within the bounds of respectable morality, my heart was not right in the sight of God." In 1817 he united with the M. E. Church, having been baptised in in- fancy; his mind was directed toward the ministry. Following the promptings of duty he began preparing for his work, and was greatly aided in his studies by both Presbyterian and Methodist ministers. After learning the Hebrew alphabet from the 116th psalm, he was compelled to await further progress in the study until he could procure a book. He read theology under the direction of Rev. John K. Daly, of Marion County, Ky., and in September, 1822, was ordained to the ministry, and during the next nine years preached in Kentucky and Tennessee, traveling over ten large counties in his circuit, many of his stations being from ten to twenty miles apart. Owing to the scarcity of physicians and the great suffering which he encoun- tered in his travels, it occurred to him that to combine the practice of medicine with his ministerial duties would be to greatly enhance his power for good. Accordingly he began the study of medicine under the direction of Dr. J. E. Cook, of Kentucky, and later studied with Dr. J. Brady, of Tennessee, and in 1829 began his practice, prescribing for the sick whenever he found time, in his circuit. In 1834 he removed to Greene County, Ill., where for fourteen years he was engaged in the practice of his profession, and at the expiration of that time, resumed the ministry, in which he continued until 1878. when he was placed upon the superanuated list. In all he has devoted over twenty years to the practice of medicine, and thirty years to the minis- try. He has preached in Jersey, Morgan, Madison, Bond, Montgomery and other counties, and has at different times been

pastor at Jacksonville, Alton, Greenfield, Hillsboro, Exeter, Manchester, and Car- rollton. Though not a classical scholar, Dr. Wood gained a good knowledge of the Hebrew language. As a preacher he was clear and logical; large-hearted and self-denying, his humanity was touched with sympathy for all. He was married, in 1822, in Pulaski County, Ky., to Miss Nancy McCaw, daughter of David Mc- Caw, a native of Ireland. Dr. Wood is a man of decided principles and a true friend of progress, and has ever given to temper- ance and education a hearty support. His life has been one of loyalty to noble pur- poses, and now, as his record approaches its close, and he nears the morning land, its gray light beams upon his pathway, betokening to him the happy dawn of a new and brighter day

WRIGHT GEO. retired merchant, Carrollton, Greene County, Ill., was born at Yorkshire, England, in 1808; bound seven years to the trade of a carpenter ; before his time expired he purchased his indentures. At 21 he had acquired a lib- eral education, and now turned his atten- tion to the New World. Crossing the ocean in a sailing vessel, date 1830, he landed in New York, where he remained but a short time, when he made his way to Greene County, Ill., where he first worked at his trade and farming. In 1836 he made his way to Carrollton, where he began life as a merchant on a very small scale indeed. For a period of twenty years Mr. Wright,
who was slowly climbing to a front position as a merchant, bought his goods in St. Louis. Year by year he went steadily forward to a successful mercantile career. Hisindomi- table will, great industry and honesty brought its reward, and the statement is to-day given, on good authority, that George Wright was the most successful dry goods merchant in Greene County. Mr. Wright has been twice married. In 1844 he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Turnstall, a danghter of John Turn- stall, ex-mayor of Louisville, Ky. Mrs. Wright died in 1856. There were four child en born of this marriage ; three are living : Warrick, Harry and Lenette; Jan- uary, 1860, Mr. Wright was married to Mrs. Lattimer, a sister of his former wife, by whom he has two children : Sidney and Arthur. Mr. Wright was a participant in the Black Hawk war

BEEBE SAMUEL L. farmer and stock raiser, Sec. 21, P.O. Carrollton. Sam- uel Beebe is a native of Greene Co. born May II, 1831, the third child of Seldon and Fidelia Beebe. As Seldon Beebe was a cotemporary settler, with such early pio- neers as Samuel Thomas, John Huitt, and others, a short description of him will be of interest to those who knew him in the days of log cabins and unbroken prairie. He was a native of Pennsylvania, and first sought a home in Greene County, as early as 1818. becoming permanently located two years later. Of his early life here, but little can be learned. He necessarily endured many privations, as did all who sought a home in Illinois, when many weary miles were trav- eled to a horse mill, or the long journey made to St. Louis or Edwardsville, then the largest cities. In 1853, Mr. Beebe was laid at rest amid the scenes of his labors, a representative pioneer, who helped very materially toward the prosperous condi- tion of this county, His wife was Miss Fidelia Bushnell, a worthy wife and moth- er, who died in IS68. The survivors of the family are four : Caroline, Sarah, Mar- cus and Samuel L., from whom this narra- tive is obtained. Nov. 31, IS57, he was
united in marriage to Eunice Sprague, a daughter of Ephraim and Harriet Sprague, by whom he has three children : Hattie F., Martha A. and Henry Y. Passing beyond the earlier years of Mr. Beebe, we arrive at the present year; the owner of a valuable farm in Christian County, also in Greene, on which he has lately erected a beautiful farm residence. He is among our most substantial agriculturists

BILLINGS W. H. farmer, Sec. 33, P.O. Carrollton
BLACK JOHN W. farmer and stock raiser, Sec. 30, P.O. Carrollton. The above named gentleman comes of a numerous and respected family, who sought a home in Greene County nearly sixty years ago, when few were inhabitants of the county, save the daring adventurer or trapper. John was the oldest of a family of eight children, four of whom died in early infan- cy ; three now living : John, Catherine and Alice, of whom due notice will be given in this volume. The father of the subject of our sketch, William Black, was a native of England, who there followed farming un- til attaining his 16th year, when he accom- panied his parents to America, eventually finding a home in Greene County, not far distant from the flourishing city of Carroll- ton. Mr. Black became a very prosperous farmer, is still living, as is also his wife. John W., from whom this narrative is ob- tained, grew to manhood in Greene Co., where he was born Feb., IS31. He re- ceived a liberal education for the time in which he lived ; in his twenty-fourth year, in 1855, he was united in marriage to Miss Delilah Early, daughter of Benjamin Early, by whom he had five children : Mary, who married John T. Hobson ; William A., Alice C., Laura, and Henry. Mrs. Black

died in 1876, and was laid at rest in the beautiful cemetery of Carrollton, a hand- some and worthy monument marking the spot. In conclusion, it may be said that Mr. Black is among the older residents born in Greene County, and ranks among our most successful farmers

BOERLIN HENRY, farmer and stock
raiser, Sec. 20, P.O. Carrollton. The above named gentleman is a native of Switzerland, born in 1843. At an early age he became a ribbon weaver, following this vocation until his emigration to Ameri- ca in 1857, in company with our honored fellow-citizen, John Kaser ; he made his way to Greene County, where he has since re- sided, following agricultural pursuits, and where he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Walter, a daughter of Henry and Mary, whose maiden name was Campbell ; two children were born of this marriage : Jacob and John. Six years ago Mr. B. rented the extensive farm owned by Leon- ard Eldred, where he resides at the pres- ent writing. In his native land he served three years as a soldier
BOWMAN JACOB, agriculturist, and for many years prominent as such in Greene County ; is a native of Ohio, and became a cotemporary settler with Samuel Thomas and others identified with the growth and prosperity of Greene County ; and long before a railroad ran through the State of Illinois he became largely engaged as a stock buyer and shipper ; in his twenty- seventh year he was married to Miss Letitia Fry, a daughter of John Fry, and niece of General Jacob Fry, one of the most up- right and honorable men in Uncle Sam's dominions. Passing briefly by the pioneer days of Jacob Bowman, spent upon the un- broken prairies of Illinois, where he roughed it in common with his neighbors, often proceeding to Alton where he await- ed his time in the grinding of grist. In subsequent years he became more than or- dinarily successful as a farmer, and held numerous offices of trust and responsibili- ty, in 1860 becoming the popular sheriff of Greene County ; for the past three years Mr. B. has been a resident of Kansas. Of
the marriage above mentioned seven child- ren were born : Samuel, who married Miss Rosalie Curtius ; George, John, who mar- ried Miss Angeline Black, a daughter of David Black; Julia, who married Thomas E. Evans ; Catherine, who married E. M. Prindle ; Rosie, who married W. H. Fry ; and Alice
