Going to Bloomington, he again superintended a large establishment ; he then bought out a man by the name of Harvey, who owned a bakery, and for two years met with flatter- ing success. This was destroyed in the big fire that devastated Bloomington, and he accordingly moved to Atlanta, Logan County, Ill .; in 1862 he went to Oregon, thence to California ; stopping but a short time, came East to New York, thence to Monmouth, Ill. Ten years ago he came to White Hall, where he has a large run of custom in a first-class bakery. July 16, 1856, Mr. Nesbit was married to Miss Anna Andrews, a native of Norway

PIERCE AUGUSTUS, manufacturer and dealer in tile and stoneware, pottery east of C., B. & Q. R. R. tracks. Mr. Pierce is the pioneer in the pottery trade of Greene County, having established the first pottery works in the present live town of White Hall; his experience here as a busi- ness man, his reliability in all business transactions, is too well known to need mention, and it is only sufficient to relate that his present success as a manufacturer of pottery ware is due to splendid work- manship and unflagging zeal. Augustus Pierce is a native of Wayne County, Ohio, born in 1828, where he grew to manhood and learned the trade of a potter ; com- mencing at the early age of 16, he soon be- came an adept at his trade. While resid- ing in this county he was married to Miss Margaret T. Routson, by whom he has two children, J. M. and Ada; in 1854, Mr. Pierce moved to Michigan, where he be- came employed as foreman in a pottery, and also shared in the proceeds of the establishment. During the Spring of 1858,

he moved to Greene County, first settling on the farm property owned by Stewart Seeley, afterward removing to White Hall where he has since been identified in the growth and prosperity of the town

PURDY M. C. The pottery known as the Purdy, situated near the C. & A. R. R .. White Hall, Ill., was built about the year 1868, by a man named Gorbet, or Garbet. For some reason he failed, and the proper- ty was purchased by James Gregory. This he disposed of to M. C. Purdy, who enter- ed into a copartnership business with Ab- ner D. Ruckle; with Mr. Ruckle he con- tinued in business some years, when he purchased his interest, and is now sole pro- prietor ; employs twenty men manufactur- ing stone ware exclusively; here may be found innumerable pots and jugs, manufac- tured from a good grade of clay, and made in a workmanlike manner. Mr. Purdy was born at Summit County, Ohio, in 1833; he received a liberal education, and there married Miss Sarah Jane Hall, of Ohio, by whom he had two children, Addie J., and Dwight. For a period of thirty-seven years Mr. Purdy was a resident of Ohio; apprenticed to the trade of a potter, he became a skilled workman; on coming West, he settled at White Hall.

Hall. The subject of this sketch is the seventh child of a family of eleven chil. dren. His father was Joseph Rickart, a Virginian by birth, born at Abington about 1785 ; he located at Cincinnati, when the entire village could have been purchased for a small sum ; moving to Hamilton, O., he followed farming and carpenter work, and is said to have been a very enterpris- ing man; he married at or near Hamilton, Miss Delila Crooks. 3 Building a large tannery, Mr. Rickart soon had it in run- ning operation ; this was an extensive establishment, and a large trade was done. In 1839 Mr. R., who was then quite wealthy, moved to Illinois, locating at Greene County, and purchasing the farm of Z. Allen ; on this farm he passed the re- mainder of life, January, 1844. Mrs. Rickart died in 1847, a fine type of those noble women who dared the dangers of Western life. On the death of the father, the entire property reverted to the wife and children. A few years ago Joseph Rickart run the entire farm, consisting of 400 acres. No better evidence can be shown of the business capacity of Mr. R. than to state that he now owns 560 acres of as good land as can be found anywhere in America ; 100 acres lies in the corporation of White Hall. With the exception of the hard times of 1857, Mr. R.'s career through life has been one of continued prosperity. Lately he erected a handsome residence near the town of White Hall. In 1873 he was assessor and treasurer of the county. When the Louisiana Branch of the C. & A. R. R. was contemplated, Mr. R. was among the first in favor of locating the road here. He was married to Miss Mary E. Baskin, a daughter of Charles E. Baskin ; there were born of this marriage eight children, seven of whom are living : David, who owns a valuable farm property in Kansas, Addie, Ella, Minnie, Joseph, Curtis, and Leroy

old he moved to White Hall, where he settled down to farm life. In 1864 he enlisted in the 9Ist Reg. Ill. Inf. Re- maining in the service one year, he was honorably discharged; a participant in the battles of Spanish Fort, Fort Blakely, and engagements of smaller note.

THAXTON LARKIN, nearly sixty years ago, came to the State of Illinois, ac- companied by wife and five small children. He was a Virginian by birth, who moved to Todd Arthur, laborer Breckenridge Co., Ky., in the early settle- ment of that State, and there married Miss Catherine Dudley. Glowing reports of the fertility of Illinois, reached him, and ac- cordingly he determined to emigrate, and after many weeks of travel, located near Edwardsville, Madison County. From this point, in 1820, the family settled three miles southeast of White Hall, near Apple Creek. In this primitive wilderness of prairie, Wm. B. Thaxton was born, Aug. 9, 1820, and here were passed many years of his life. When twelve years of age, his father died ; at fourteen he ventured forth on his own resources, hiring out to a man by the name of English, to work by the month, he re- mained five years, working through the summer months for twenty-five cents per day. During the Winter he was contented to work for his board. Going to Chester- field, Macoupin County, he worked for a farmer of considerable enterprise, who kept a small store. While here Mr. Thaxton frequently made trips to Alton and St Louis, and showed considerable skill in the purchase of butter and eggs, etc. Leaving the employ of this man, he became employed in a saw-mill on Apple Creek. The following Spring he worked for Col. Gregory at ten dollars per month, for ten years ; he then rented prop- erty, and from the profits of this procured a sufficient start to purchase eighty acres of land. Years have passed since then, and Mr. Thaxton is now a prominent man of Greene County, a wealthy citizen, due to the vigor, energy and pluck displayed dur- ing his younger days. He has been twice 1 Vannest P. S. Rev.

She was the mother of three children, the oldest and only one living, Mrs. Ella Jane Morrow, wife of John A. Morrow ; resides near Roodhouse. Jan. I, 1860, Mr. T. was married to Mrs. Damon Griswold, whose maiden name was Swallow, a model lady, who is a worthy helpmate of a noble husband and father.

WHITE HALL FIRE CLAY

WORKS, manufacturers of drain tile for farm drainage, also road culvert pipe, vit- rified, glazed sewer pipe, fire brick, and roofing tile (Merrill's patent). In company with Mr. E. H. Smith, the genial president of the company, the writer made a careful survey of the extensive works. There are few but what have heard of the White Hall Fire Clay Works, and yet few realize the immense quantities of tile manufact- ured by this famous company. Their tile is all steam pressed, giving great density, smoothness, and strength to the pipe, thereby thoroughly burning the tile through and through, not a thin shell on the out- side burned and the inside raw and un- burned clay. In these days of general business depression, it will be well for the farmer to examine tile closely before pur- chasing. Remember it costs just as much to lay worthless tile in the ground as the best. Many tile are made from limed clay, that bears a striking resemblance to potter's clay, that produces a very superior article. The White Hall clay is acknowledged by all to be the best in the State, from which the company have manufactured for the past ten years, and during that time there have been sold, from this place, nearly two thousand miles of drainage tile, not a foot of which has ever been rejected. The company own very extensive clay and coal mines, mine their own clay and coal, and employ only the most experienced men in all departments. All railroads centering at this point have side tracks on the ground. It will thus be readily seen that nothing is left undone by the company to insure the manufacture of the best tile, as cheap as can be made from good potter's clay. Messrs. E. II. Smith and W. W. Arnold are energetic, honorable, business men, with whom it is a pleasure to deal with. We understand that Simeon Ross, one of
