GREENE S. F. who bore a prominent part in the growth and development of the flourishing county of Greene, is a native of the county, born in 1820, and is in all probability the first white child born south of the Macoupin Creek. Of his parents it will be well to enter into a short description : John Greene, the head of the family, was a cotemporary settler with Samuel Thomas and John Huitt, having settled south of the Macoupin Creek in 1819. He was a native of Kentucky, and is described as a man of ge- nial manners, and whose hospitality was unbounded. Such was the confidence re- posed in his honor and integrity, that in 1838 or 40, when the legislature convened in Vandalia, he served one term as a mem- ber, receiving a re-election two years la- ter. His wife was Miss Nancy Mains, of Georgia. The marriage occurred in Madi- son County, but as nothing has been retained in writing by the surviving members of the family, the date cannot be ascertained. Both husband and wife have long since passed away, and the survivors of the family are now six sons and one daughter.
The subject of our sketch, whose life his- tory is here appended, is the second child born of this marriage. Growing to man- hood upon the old farm homestead, he received such education as the facilities of a log cabin offered. In 1846, November 5th, he was united in marriage to Miss Polly Witt, a daughter of Franklin Witt, by whom he had one child, John H. Mrs. Greene departed this life September 11th, 1850, and two years later Mr. Greene was married to Miss Eliza J, Witt. a cousin of his first wife, and the daughter of William P. Witt by whom he has six children : Wil- liam R., Hattie L., Robert W., Mary E., Justina and Walter B. During the Autumn of 1866 Mr. Greene received the nomina- tion and was elected sheriff of this county, and serving one term gave general satisfac- tion to the law-abiding portion of the com- munity, and in 1877 he was elected county commissioner by a large majority Ranking among the prominent farmers of the west, Mr. Greene is the owner of 706 acres of val- uable land, and holds a controlling interest in the private banking institution known as Littlefield & Greene's
GREENE & SMITH, dealers in dry goods, clothing, boots, shoes, hats, caps, etc. The above enterprising firm was or- ganized as John Greene & Co., subsequently the above firm came into existence, who started comparatively in a small way com- pared to their present extensive business. The senior member of this, by far the larg- est house in the town of Kane, was born in this county in 1847, and grew to maturity on the old farm homestead of his father, Nelson Greene, receiving a liberal education in the district schools of his native place. The first venture in business was made with Mr. N. M. Perry, in the town designated as Old Kane, where a general merchandise business was done. Subse- quently Mr. Greene purchased the interest of Mr. Perry, and conducted a successful business at Old Kane, until his removal to the present town. His business career in this place is too well known to be repeated here. In 1870 he was united in marriage to Miss Emma Perry, a daughter of N. M. Perry, deceased, by whom he had three children, two of whom are living, Mabel and Morrison

HINTON HON. JUDGE AL-
FRED, is a native of the State of Ma- ryland; born the 15th of February, 1800; he was the second child of James and Cath- erine Hinton, the former a native Virgin- ian, the latter a native of Maryland. In an early day this family, then consisting of husband, wife and two children, Alfred and Charlotte, located in Western Virginia, at a place called Wellsburg, and four years after moved to Delaware County, Ohio; subsequently the family removed to Ghent, Gallatin County, Ky., where the death of James Hinton occurred. Mrs. Hinton out- lived all of her children with the exception of the subject of this notice, finding a last resting place in the city of Carrollton, at the advanced age of 80 years. Judge Hin- ton, quite early in life, commenced the trade of a carpenter, and in the Autumn of 1819, came to Edwardsville, Illinois, and three years later became a resident of Greene County; in 1822, he entered a tract of land on Apple Creek Prairie, three miles west of the flourishing town of White Hall; in March, the same year, he married Miss Lucretia Pruitt, a daughter of William and Sarah Pruitt, and immedi- ately after his marriage built a cabin and began the improvement of his land ; eleven children were born of this marriage, of whom only five are living, who are married and settled in life ; in 1835, Mr. Hinton was elected justice of the peace, and by re-election held the office twelve years ; during the Autumn of 1842 or 1843, he was elected a member of the legislature from Greene County; wishing to advance his children in educational matters he now
took up his residence at Carrollton, where he was shortly after appointed postmaster, retaining the office nine years ; in 1846, Judge Hinton was nominated again for the legislature ; was again elected, serving through one session; one incident in the life career of Mr. Hinton is worthy of note; in 1831-32, he superintended the erection of the present court house, in con- nection with Moses Stephens ; in 1865, he was elected judge of the County of Greene, filling the office to the general satisfaction of all; in 1832, Judge Hinton and wife became members of the Christian Church, at Carrollton, where, for many years, he has been an elder in the church, officiating in this capacity now. Democratic in his views, his first vote was cast for John Quincy Adams, in 1824; for sixteen years Mr. Hinton conducted a successful busi- ness as proprietor of the old Mansion House, at Carrollton, now designated by the name of the Hinton House. Mrs. Hinton passed away on the 18th of Febru- ary, 1869, and in March, 1870, Judge Hin- ton was married to Mrs. Amy Holliday, of Kane, where he resides at the present writing

HUGHES DR. I. S. physician and surgeon, Kane, Ill. The above named gentleman is a native of Illinois ; born in 1844; his parents, William S. and Maria Hughes, whose maiden name was Sim- mons, concluded to better their fortunes in the West, and accordingly located in Ran- dolph County, about 1830; not long after their emigration West the parents of Dr. Hughes passed to that bourne from whence no traveller ever returns; thrown upon his own resources to battle with the world, the youth proceeded to St. Clair County, where he first worked as a farm hand, re- ceived the advantages of a common school education ; in 1860, he wended his way to St. Louis, Mo., where he began the study of medicine under John D. Hodgen; an ardent student, possessed of an ambition beyond many who were more fortunately situated in life, he applied himself dili- gently to the prosecution of his studies ; in 1862, he enlisted in Co. I, 117th Ill. In- fantry; his advance in his medical studies

were so rapid that from his first enlistment until the close of the rebellion he served in the medical department, where he gained a knowledge of materia medica that paved the way for future success ; when the war closed he completed his studies at St. Louis, graduating from St. Louis Medical College in 1872, but prior to this date, owing to the rules of the establishment, he had practiced three years as a physician. Digressing a little from the subject in hand, shortly after the rebellion Dr. Hughes sought a new field of labor in Col- orado, where he entered upon the mercan- tile business, under the firm name of Sick- or & Co., a military clothing firm during the war. Returning to St. Louis in 1871-2, he practiced as a physician, while attend- ing medical lectures, thence to Brighton, and thence to Kane in February, 1875, where he has gained a large practice among the prosperous people of Kane. Nov. 27, 1878, Dr. Hughes was married, at Spring- field, to Miss Mary E. Freeman, a daugh- ter of Abraham Freeman, one of the ear- lier settlers of Springfield

KING LUCIAN CAPT, who takes a leading position among the agriculturists of Greene County, is a native of the State of New York ; born in the year 1817 ; the seventh of a family of nine children. The earlier years of life were spent upon the old farm homestead, where he attained a hardy vigor that contributed very materially toward his present prosperous condition in life. In 1842 he made his way to Cleveland,
O., where he became employed as a clerk for an older brother ; one year later finding the clerk's position too irksome, and the life of a boatman more congenial to his tastes, he took charge of a boat owned by his broth- er, and used for the transportation of pas- sengers,freight and merchandise; continuing in this capacity one year, he now wended his way to Southern Illinois, locating in Greene County, where he first secured em- ployment as a farm hand ; his total pos- sessions then footing up to the sum of thirty-five dollars ; during this time he uni- ted his fortunes to Miss Almira Lemon, a daughter of Elder Moses Lemon, a pioneer minister of Greene County. James Lemon, who was the father of the Rev. gentleman above mentioned, was one of the first few white settlers in the State, having settled in Monroe County prior to 1800, a period of time when the North American Indians were as leaves of the forest ; when old Fort Dearborn marked the site of the present flourishing city of Chicago, and the entire commerce of the then trading point of St. Louis reached the hopeful sum of some $20,000. Pursuing the thread of our discourse, for many years Captain King roughed it, so to speak, until such time as emigration poured into State and county. Owing to limited space in our volume, we cannot follow him step by step in his wes- tern career on an Illinois prairie. When the war broke out, then in his forty-sixth year, he became a zealous advocate of the Union cause, organizing Co. C. 122d Ill. Vol., John J. Rinnaker commander of the regiment. With the rank of a captain, Mr. King proceeded to the front, where he became a participant in many important battles noted in history,among them Parker's Cross Roads, Town Creek, Paducah, Tupolo, Nashville, etc. Honorably discharged on the 8th of May, 1865; he returned to Greene County, where he has since devoted his time to farming. In 1876, by the unanimous wish of the people, Captain King allowed his name to be put forward as a candidate for the State Legislature, and received the election from this 39th district by an overwhelming majority. Of the marriage above referred to, seven children were born, of whom five are living: Hat- tie E., who married J. J. Armstrong, and

on his death married Henry L. Parker, of Kane; Matie L., who married T. Jones, resident of Tp. 9, R. II ; Martha E., who married Charles E. Neeley, station agent of Kane; Adele and Sadie B., who reside on the farm homestead ; this property con- sists of 260 acres of land brought to a high state of cultivation

LITTLEFIELD ENOCH, banker, was born at Auburn, Maine, in 1832. Ear- ly in life he left home and traveled exten- sively until the mature years of manhood, when,in 1858, he settled in Greene County, where he has since been prominently identi- fied with the county interests. The first five years of his residence were devoted to teaching district schools, photography, farm- ing and land trading. He is now owner and principal operator of the Jalappa mills, one of the first flouring mills erected in Greene County, which Mr. L. re-model- ed a short time ago, fitted with modern machinery, and will now compare favora- bly with any in the county, and no better grade of flour is obtainable. Four years ago the subject of this biography, instituted the Littlefield and Greene Bank at Kane, which has been eminently successful. Mr. L., was first married to Lucy Greene, who died in 1873. His present wife was Susie E. Hartley, of Paris, Ill. Mr. Littlefield came to Greene County an out-spoken ab- olitionist,but since the triumph of the prin- ciples of that party, he has been very inde- pendent in politics, in temperance a radical prohibitionist, in religion a strong Spiritual- ist

LONG ISRAEL, farmer and stock- raiser, Sec. 13, P.O. Rockbridge. Israel Long is a native of Greene County, born in 1839, second child of Edward and Pris- cilla Long, who settled in Greene County some forty years ago. Israel grew to man- hood in Greene County, and early became inured to the hard work of the farm, When
the war came on he enlisted in Co. A, 6Ist Ill. Vols., under the command of Capt. Orr ; was in the service some seven months ; he became a participant in the famous bat- tle of Shiloh. He was honorably dis- charged from the service at St. Louis, on the 2Ist of July, 1862, and then returned to Greene County. Some years after the war closed he resided in Jersey County and followed agricultural pursuits, until his re- moval again to Greene County in 1877. In 1864, he was united in marriage to Miss Harriet Tucker, a daughter of Pleasant Tucker, by whom he has three children : Freeman, Laura B., and Jesse W.

LONG SQUIRE, farmer and stock- raiser, Sec. 14, P.O. Rockbridge. The father of our subject was Edward Long, a native Kentuckian, who was there married to Miss Priscella Smith. The exact date of his settlement in Greene County can not now be ascertained ; but in all proba- bility he became a cotemporary with many of the early settlers of Greene County. Squire Long was the sixth child, born of the above-mentioned marriage on the 17th of May, 1846. In 1869, he was married to Miss Ellen Murry, a daughter of McWright Murry, a native Kentuckian, by whom he has two children, Oscar and Emma. Mr. Long is the owner of ninety acres of well improved real estate

MASON ABIGAIL MRS. widow of
William Mason, deceased, is a native of Greene County, born in 1823. Of her parentage it will be well to enter into more than a passing description. Her father, Capt. James Whitlock, was a native Vir- ginian, born in 1800. It must have been that he was of an extremely adventurous disposition, for at the youthful age of eigh- teen we find him traversing the prairies of the far West. After some weeks of travel, he landed in Greene County, where he was

destined to play so prominent a part in the boundless West, a cotemporary settler with Samuel Thomas, John Huitt, and others. Ifis struggle for an existence in the West, met with the many discouragements that confronted the early discoverers of the far West. For many years prior to the Black Hawk war, he held a position as a military officer, and when Black Hawk made war on the white settlers, he was appointed or elected a captain of militia. After the war closed, he returned to his farm in Greene County. A most successful agriculturist, he accumulated a large property in Greene County. For eighteen years he held the position of constable. He died of cholera at San Jose, Mo., on his way to the gold mines of California. Taking up the thread of our discourse, Abigail Whitlock, mar- ried in 1839 John C. Richey, a native of Greene County, a mason by trade, who died in 1848. Of this marriage, three children were born : James M., Susie Ann, and Juliette. In 1850, Mrs. Richey was mar- ried to William Mason, a native of Ohio, who came to Greene County in an early day-about 1827. He was well remem- bered by early residents here, who remember him as a man of fine military attainments, and a successful farmer. He died in 1870, leaving to the care of his wife three chil- dren : Jane, Elon E., and Jennette, de- ceased
