The subject of this biog- raphy was born in Erie County, Penn., May 14, 1819. Augustus was the oldest of a family of nine children; his father was Robert Evans Heron ; he was a mer- chant in affluent circumstances ; possessed of an ability that led to successful results, and amassed considerable property in mer- cantile pursuits ; he died at Louisville, Ky., where he afterward removed. Augus- tus passed his early boyhood in Pennsylva- nia, where he received a liberal education ; in 1832, possessed of that adventurous dis- position characteristic of Young America, he departed from the parental roof and

made his way to Missouri, where he sought employment on the broad waters of the Mississippi as a cabin boy, plying between the cities of Memphis, New Orleans, Nat- chez, and other points ; he soon became a valuable assistant, and, in process of time, a second steward ; displaying marked abil- ity, he became steward on board the George Collier, Natchez, Belle Creole, Eclipse and Imperial ; in this capacity he gave such general satisfaction that few gained more reputation as an honorable man and one more skilled in his profession than he; one incident in his career is worthy of note, as a steward his ability was unquestioned, yet it would necessarily be strange if some un- pleasantness in connection with his posi- tion did not occur. On one occasion, an employee of the boat, who could not stand prosperity or good living, made a jesting remark in reference to the corn bread, a staple article on all packets many years ago. Mr. Heron was notified of the con- versation, and made his way to the cabin, "'Jim," said he, to the surly boarder, "what is the matter with that corn bread ?" A satis- factory answer not being forthcoming, he remarked, wi h that sarcasm peculiar to many who pass their lives on our Western waters : "Jim, that ain't the kind of corn bread you and I were used to when we came in from our fishing excursions, and your aged mother, with all due care and re- gard for our comfort, gathered together her baking material, and transferring it to the smoothing board, set it to bake from the large open fireplace." Jim made his exit amid the jeers of the passengers. While employed on the river Mr. Heron was mar- ried in the Crescent City, to Miss Martha A. Brant, by whom he had two children, Helen and an infant child. When that dread scourge of yellow fever became prevalent in New Orleans, Mrs. Heron became a vic- tim to the yellow monster, whose bronzed breath carried death and desolation to many a saddened household. In 1861, he married his second wife, Mrs. Rachel Burkett, by whom he had two children, Alex. F. and Aug. C .; in 1864, the yellow fever again prevailed to an alarming ex- tent, and Mr. Heron was soon again called upon to perform the last sad rites for his second wife, who was laid at rest in the
city of New Orleans during the year made memorable by the advent of the bronzed visitor. For a number of years Mr. Heron conducted a successful business in a bakery establishment of his own, on Choupetoulas street ; for nearly twenty-five years he re- mained a resident of this Southern city; in 1849, he made a visit to Greene County, Ill., when he purchased 160 acres of land in this township, and five years ago he be- came a permanent resident, where he now owns 188 acres of valuable land, and ranks among the more honorable farmers in Greene County
HERON A. C. farmer, Sec. 18, P.O. Car- rollton. A. C. Heron is a native of New Orleans, where he was born Sept. 26, 1848; in 1864, his parents moved to Greene County, where our subject grew to man- hood, and received a liberal education ; in 1871, he was married to Miss Delilah Clark, by whom he had one child, deceased. Mrs. Heron died in 1874, and, in 1877, Mr. Heron united his fortunes to Miss Lu- cinda Lancaster, by whom he has two chil- dren, Edward P. and Robert L.

HODGES WILLIAM, farmer and stock raiser, residence old Kane. William Hodges is a native of Jersey County, and born in 1850, a son of Edward Hodges, deceased, who was a native of Texas, born in 1820, who became a resident of Illinois some 35 years ago, locating in Jersey County, where he was married to Miss Nancy Davis, who was born in Jersey County; twenty-five years ago the family moved to Greene County, where Edward Hodges became a successful agriculturist through the display of that energy inseparable from success. After a life of very unusual activity he was laid at rest in Greene County. The surviv- ors of the family are Mrs. Hodges and eight children, of whom the subject of this sketch is the fourth child. In 1877 he was united in marriage to Miss Lucy Smith, of Jersey County, by whom he has one child, Harry

Isaac grew up in Greene County; received a com- mon school education, and became em- ployed in farming from his earliest years. In 1865 he was united in marriage to Miss " Martha Duggan, a daughter of George and Elizabeth Duggan. Of this marriage two children were born : Charles and William. At the second call for volunteers, on the 4th day of September, 1863, Mr. Holmes en- listed in Co. E, 32d Regt. Ill. Inft., and became engaged in the following battles : Shiloh, Corinth, Hatchie River, Vicksburg, Grand Gulf, Champion Hills, Kenesaw Mountains, Atlanta, Savannah, Raleigh, and Bentonville. Re-enlisting in this com- pany, he remained four years in the service of the U. S. government. He was honor- ably discharged on the 16th of September, 1865

HUTCHENS BRASWELL. De- ceased was born in Greene County, July 8, 1832, and was the second child of Elkanah and Frances Hutchens. Elsewhere will be found a biographical sketch of Elkanah Hutchens, and we now follow the fortunes of Braswell Hutchens in Greene County, where he followed principally the occupa- tion of a farmer, although early in life he became apprenticed to the trade of a black- smith, which he abandoned two years after
becoming a journeyman workman. Decem- ber, 1852, he was nnited in marriage to Miss Caroline Landon, a daughter of Ed- mund and Julia Landon, whose maiden name was Reynolds. Of this marriage eleven children were born: Horace, Elkanah, Mary, Lucius, Julius, Jasper, Julia, Augus- tus, Maria, Gilbert, Helen, and infant child. Mr. Hutchens passed away in 1878, and was laid at rest in the Hutchens Cemetery HUTCHENS ELKANAH, farmer and stock raiser, Sec. 8, P.O. Carrollton. Our biographical sketch would be incom- plete were we to omit to mention the whole-souled gentleman whose name ap- pears at the head of this sketch. Many who sought homes upon the boundless prairies or among the timber belts of Southern Illi- nois, were natives of the Sunny South, and among this hardy people we class Elkanah Hutchens one of the veteran pioneers of Greene County. He was born in North Carolina in 1803, where he passed the days of his childhood, early youth and to grew manhood, receiving such education as a log cabin afforded. From youth he followed agriculture, and married in North Carolina Miss Frankie Pilcher, a daughter of James Pilcher. In 1829, when many favorable reports were spread abroad about Illinois and its prosperity, Elkanah Hutchens deter- mined to make this new Eldorado his future home, and accordingly made his way over- land in a pioneer schooner, or covered wagon ; after a monotonous journey, occu- pying some weeks, he landed in Morgan County on the 7th of May, 1829, near the City of Winchester, in Scott County, and here he entered land from the government, and remained until 1831, when he crossed over to Greene County, and settled in town 9, range 12, the property he now owns, consisting of 160 acres. A cabin had been erected on the land, and here the emigrants made their home for several years. As many anecdotes and incidents of pioneer life find their way in our general history, and as Mr. Hutchens' life in Greene County was the common lot of all, it only remains for us to say that step by step Mr. Hutchens arose to a condition of independence. He is now the owner of 160 acres of valuable land, and has the respect and confidence of neighbors and friends in Greene County

Many of those comfortably situated in the agricultural walks of life were born in Greene County, and grew to the mature years of manhood surrounded by pioneer influences. Among this class we mention the subject of this sketch with more than a passing notice. He was born in the year 1845. From his earliest years followed farming. November, 1871, he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Bell, who bore him one child, Clara Belle, who died in infancy. Mrs. Hutchens died in 1874, and was laid at rest in the Providence Ceme- tery. In 1876, Mr. Hutchens was united in marriage to Miss Lucy J. Anderson, a daughter of Samuel and Purnell Anderson, by whom he has one child, Eva. Mr. H. is the owner of 480 acres of valuable land, and a valuable property in Carrollton. As a farmer he has become exceedingly pros- perous. For a number of years he seved in the capacity of a school teacher, and evinced considerable ability in this pro- fession

MARTIN JAMES, agriculturist, was born in Kentucky on the 14th of June, 1814; during his youth he became appren- ticed to the trade of a bricklayer, and worked for many years as a journeyman workman. In 1828 occurred the family removal to Greene County, where James Martin during the year 1833 turned his attention to the trade of a bricklayer. although subsequent years developed and aptitude for farming, and accordingly a purchase of property was made; with the exception of a short residence in Kansas, the greater portion of his days were spent in Greene County. In 1848 he was married to Miss Eliza Harwood, a daughter of Albert G. Harwood of Greene County; of this marriage ten children were born, two sons and eight daughters, all of whom are yet living. This sketch would be incom- plete were we to omit to mention Mr. Martin's adherence to the union cause dur- ing the stirring scenes of war, when to a union man in many portions of Southern Illinois brought down the hatred and enmity of many known as bushwhackers; neces- sarily his early life was marked by poverty, but he was endowed with an unlimited stock of commendable energy which made him successful in his various enterprises; after an energetic and honorable career, both as an agriculturist and mechanic, he died at his farm residence in township 9, range 12, of lung fever, and his ashes now repose in the Mount Gilead Cemetery; the estate comprises 200 acres, a valuable tract of land pleasantly situated

The father of our subject was Samuel Martin, who was of Welch origin; but little per- taining to his early life can now be gleaned; it is supposed that he was a native of Ohio, and afterward moved to Kentucky, where he followed farming to some extent, al- though by trade he was a cooper; it was here that he formed the acquaintance of, and married Miss Elizabeth Guntermon; from Kentucky Samuel Martin moved to Indiana, where he remained a short time, when he moved to Greene County, the date of his arrival is not known, but it was

probably a very early day, as Jersey County still formed a portion of Greene County, and in the vicinity of the bluffs, where he settled, it was but thinly populated, scarce- ly a cabin dotting the surface of the prairie for many miles; he became moderately successful in life, and died at an advanced age in Greene County in 1844. Mrs. ยท Martin survived her husband some thirty years, and her ashes repose in the Hutch- ens Cemetery. The survivors of this family are ten, of whom our subject is the seventh child, who was born in Jersey County in 1827. October 3. 1848, he was united in marriage to Miss Jane Thomasson, a daughter of William and Sarah Thomasson; by whom he had six- teen children, eleven of whom are living : William E., George O., John W., Samuel P., Stephen Douglas, Eudora A., Mary A., Jacob E., Frank, Elizabeth E. and Virginia A. After a long an honorable career Mr. Martin has become comfortably situated in life, and resides on his farm of 200 acres of valuable land situated in town- ship 9, range 12

Kane. Mrs. Morris is a native of Illinois, born at Rock Island in 1836; her parents Medad and Amelia Lyman were, years prior to this, residents of Greene County, and the year 1839 found them again resi- dents of the place; we have only space to say that the lady above mentioned was married to Isaac Oliver; he was a native of Ohio; this marriage occurring in Scott County. Mr. Oliver was a wagonmaker by occupation, and while engaged in this vocation the war broke out, enlisting at the first call for volunteers, he remained until the close of the rebellion; the life of a soldier had undermined his health, and shortly after the war closed he passed quietly away finding a last resting place
in Macoupin County. Of the marriage six children were born, one of whom, Mary, is the only one living at this date ; in 1868 Mrs. M. was married to James Redding, a native of Michigan, who died in 1871; in 1872, Mrs. M. was united in marriage to Marvel Morris a native of Tennessee, who became a resident of Greene County, locating west of Kane in 1829, and in 1834 located on the farm property, now owned by Mrs. Morris; he passed away to that world of spirits to which we all are tending, February, 1876, leaving to care of his wife two children, Freeman and Rosa M.

Parker one of those whole souled gentle- man, with whom it is a pleasure to meet, was born in Hampshire County, West Virginia, on the 28th of February, 1837; his father Jacob W. Parker was also a Virginian, a weaver by trade, he is de- scribed as a man extremely fond of traversing the forest in search of game; it is quite probable that he heard many glowing accounts of the West. Illinois was

then settling up quite rapidly and thither the Virginian directed his footsteps during the Autumn of 1837; from Wheeling, Va., he embarked with his family on board a steamboat, and floated down the Ohio to its confluence with the Mississippi River, from the city of St. Louis his course lay up the Illinois River, and eventually he made his way to Greene County; he now found himself the possessor of some $5 in money, and realized that he had a large family of children that were to be clothed and provided for with the necessaries of life; he now set to work with a will and became moderately successful in life; living at a time when land rose rapidly in value he never attained that wealth that fell to the lot of many who studied the financial ques- tion more closely; he died at an advanced age, and his ashes repose in the cemetery situated in township 9, range 12. Mrs. Parker departed this life many years prior to her husband. Henry L. Parker, a prominent farmer of Greene County, and Thomas, from whom this sketch is obtained, are the only survivors of the family; as we have seen Thomas was quite young when his parents moved to Greene County, and here the youth grew to manhood, obtaining a liberal education in districts schools, he applied himself in subsequent years to the manifold duties appertaining to the farm; at the present writing he is the owner of 385 acres of valuable land in this town- ship; March, 1878, he was united in marriage to Miss Lydia Gilliland, a daughter of Robert Gilliland, one of the older residents of the county

PERRY AUGUSTIN T. farmer and and stock raiser, Sec. 36, P.O. Kane. Au- gustin Perry takes a leading position among the wealthy men of Greene County ; he was born in Christian County, Kentucky, on the 23d of December, 1829 His father, familiarly known as Col. N. M. Perry, to the residents of Greene County, where he removed in 1836, was a native of Orange County, Virginia, born November 30, 1806, and is the sixth of eight children of James and Ann Perry, who were of English de- scent. Passing briefly by the early years of James Perry, spent amid pioneer asso-
ciations, we arrive at the year of 1776, when it became necessary for America to throw off the yoke of British tyranny. In that struggle for liberty, James Perry took an active part, and became a participant in many of the more noted battles of the Continental war. Honorably discharged at its close, he returned to the pursuits of husbandry. He was among the leading planters in the county in which he resided ; he died in Virginia, in 1815, and three years later, in 1818, Mrs. Perry removed with her children to Christian County, Kentucky ; her death occurred at the residence of her son, Colonel Perry, Greene County, Illinois, on the 7th of October, 1853. Colonel Perry's father having died during his early years, he was measurably thrown upon his own resources. His early culture was pur- sued in the schools of Kentucky, and by assiduous industry, he was enabled to attain to a thorough knowledge of the solid branches of an English education. Urbane in his manners, he evinced a determined spirit of perseverance, which enabled him to successfully grapple with the practical concerns of life. Completing his educa- tion, he was employed to teach a select school, at Nashville, Tennessee. During the Winter of 1828, he was married to Miss Frances A. Tandy, a daughter of Henry Tandy, of Virginia. Shortly after his marriage, he turned his attention to farm- ing, in Kentucky. Four children were born of this marriage. After a sojourn of a few years in Kentucky, he sought broader fields, eventually landing in Greene County. In 1836, he located in the village of Kane, where he destined to play so prominent a part in the developement of the county ; in 1837, he engaged in merchandising and farming until 1872. In 1855, he became a partner in a firm to build a steam grist mill, subsequently becoming its sole owner. In 1837 occurred the death of the partner of his youth, a sad stroke to the enterprising pio- neer. In 1840, he was united in marriage to Miss Eliza Hill, daughter of the Rev. William Hill, of Virginia. They had five children, all of whom are living, and all comfortably situated in life. For many years he was a member of the Baptist Church, and an exemplary and honorable member. He was a fair type of the polish-

ed Kentuckian, and in the acquisition of his property the most honorable integrity marked his course among the more opulent farmers. His was a generous and liberal na- ture. In July, 1861, death again invaded his home, and Colonel Perry was called upon to perform the last sad rites for his second wife. In the Fall of 1864, he was nomi- nated and elected, as the candidate of the Democratic party, to a seat in the Illinois Legislature. On the 2d day of October, 1872, he was married to his present wife, Mary, daughter of Martin Bowman, Esq., of Carrollton. October 5, 1875, witnessed the death of Col. Nathaniel Perry, of paral- ysis, after a life of almost unexampled activity and very unusual success in accom- plishing the worldly objects of which he aimed. Through his well directed energy all of his children are well provided for, our subject ranking among the wealthier agriculturists of Greene County, owning the homestead property ; he is also the pos- sessor of some 800 acres of valuable land. At one time in his career his name was put forward for county commissioner ; having no ambition, however, in that direction, he declined the office, subsequently filled by John H. Greene

Pope John, farmer, Sec. 2, P.O. Kane Pope Revel, farmer, Sec. 26, P.O. Kane POPE SAMUEL, farmer and stock raiser, Sec. 26, P.O. Kane. Samuel Pope is a native of Somerset County, New Jer- sey, where he was born on the 16th of July, 1832. Three years later his parents, Samuel and Mary Pope, emigrated to the west, and located at the town of old Kane. His family were the only residents of the place save a man by the name of Adams, who kept a small store and postoffice. The head of the family was born in New Jersey, and early in life became apprenticed to the trade of a blacksmith. He married in New Jersey Mary Geddes; in the town of old Kane found employment as a blacksmith ; made money rapidly, and subsequently became a prosperous farmer, owning some hundreds of acres. In those days consid-
erable emigration poured into the State, Samuel Pope was possessed of a good deal of enterprise, and accordingly built the hotel that swings the huge sign, S. Pope, tavern; the scene of many gatherings of pioneers, trappers, or adventurers. Mr. Pope on the 20th of April, 1846, was laid at rest not far distant from the scenes of his eventful life. Mrs. Pope survived her husband many years, departing this life in 1872. Samuel J. R. Pope, from whom this narrative is obtained, passed his boyhood in Greene County; followed agriculture from his earliest years. When the war broke out he enlisted in Co. C, 122d III. Vols., for three years' service, and became a participant in the battles of Tupolo and Paducah, and others of note. Honor- ably discharged after the close of the re- bellion he returned to Greene County, where he has since been identified with the farming interest, and where he married Miss Elizabeth English, a daughter of Thomas English, a native of Kentucky, by whom he has four children : Geddes, Revel, William J., and Mary. The estate com- prises 200 acres of valuable land
