As the war was about ended, the regiment was some time after- ward ordered to Columbus, Ohio, to be mustered out. Mr. E. had not heard a word from his family for over a year. Before going to Columbus, he went home. In passing up a path, approaching his farm, he met a woman, who proved to be his wife; and after the first words of greeting and surprise had passed, told him that her- self and all his friends had heard that he was dead. It was a glad surprise to all. On his return Mr. Ewell again went to work on his farm, but believing that Illinois offered a better field for his energies, in 1867 he moved to the State, locating in Rock Creek tp., on northwest } of sec. 11, buying 80 acres.

Mr. Stevenson is a prominent member of the Church of the Lat- ter Day Saints, which order has a thriving organization and a com- modions church edifice in this tp. He gives us the following information concerning Joseph Smith, the original leader of the true Mormon Church. Mr. Smith was opposed to polygamy in any form whatever, and never taught spiritual-wifery as was charged upon him. He had but one wife himself, and never would permit the nefarious practice of polygamy among his people.


Mr. Stevenson also states that the true Mormons think Smith's death was indirectly caused by the polygamists. He further states that the great crime of stealing, which the Mormons were charged with, was largely committed by prejudiced Gentiles, who would take the stolen property and place it in the fields and lots of Mor- mons at Nauvoo, and then return and tell the owners of the miss- ing property. that they had seen their property at a certain place; and the owners would go and find it as the persons had informed them they would. And further, the polygamists would steal the

property of the non-polygamists, placing it in the temple lot at Nauvoo; and when the owners attempted to take their own prop- erty, "they were shot down like dogs." These statements just related were submitted to several leading men of Rock Creek tp., and were all corroborated, especially that one concerning the stealing of property by the prejudiced Gentiles; for after the con- flict was over, the Gentiles acknowledged and boasted of it.


Henry Thornber is a native of the county of Lancaster, Eng- land, and was born Jan. 10, 1816. His parents were Richard and Anna Thornber, also natives of England. Our subject was reared and educated in his native country. He then learned the trade of wooden-shoe maker. He set sail Jan. 12, 1842, and arrived at New Orleans March 9 of the same year.

Sylvester T. Turney, whose portrait is given on page 763; is a native of Fairfield county, Conn., where he was born July 30, 1833. His early years were spent on his father's farm in that county. His advantages for an education were limited to attendance at the common schools, mostly in the winter, until about the age of 17, when he, being the only son, employed his winters in assisting his father in entting and hauling ship timbers, and in the summer working on the farm. This manner of life he followed until the. age of 22, when he left his father's house and commenced life's labors on his own account, locating in Delaware county, N. Y., where he remained three months, and then went still farther West, arriving in Chicago, Ill., in the fall of 1855. In a day or two he started for Peoria by rail, and from that point by stage to Canton, Fulton county. At this point, finding his means had dwindled so that his worldly possessions amounted to only one $20 gold piece, he immediately looked up something to do, and soon found work on a farm at $17 per month, at which he worked two years. In 1857, realizing the usefulness of the Osage orange as a hedge, he went into the business of raising hedge plants for market, and planted 30 acres on land rented for the purpose. Owing to the hard times of this year (1857), he found very little sale for the plants in that section, and was obliged to haul them as far as 80 or 90 miles for a market. In 1858 business revived, and in 1859 he turned his attention to contracting with parties and planting the hedge himself, at $112 per mile. This spring (1859) he planted 30 miles of hedge in Hancock and Henderson counties. This same year Mr. T. came to this county, locating at La Harpe, and in 1860


HISTORY OF HANCOCK COUNTY.


planted 15 seres of hedge in Durham tp. This crop failed to come up, and in 1561 he planted another 15 seres: this turned out well. and he sold $3,750 worth of plants and set out about 15 miles of hedge fence for parties besides. Mr. T. was the first to successfully introduce the hedge fence in this section, his setting being sbon: the first that did well.


In 1881 Mr. T. was married to Miss Kittie A. Barr, born March 15. 1542. in Kentmekr, and a daughter of Elias and Sallie Bean- chamy) Barr. both natives of Kentucky, and came to this evantr in 1852. The next year after his marriage be bought the southwest one-fourth of see. 1. Rock Creek to., which was now prairie: not a fence or improvement had been placed upon it by the hand of man. He immediately erected a frame house 16xds feet, one and one-half' stories high, which in those days was con- sidered No. 1. He also built a frame stable. The house is still standing near his present residence. This season Mr. T. bought five roke of cattle and started them, on one large plow. Uresking prairie, sad. as he said. it was as inneh as they could do. The country was covered with hazel-bash and willow, and it required all the power of the five roke to tear ap their roots. He fenced the whole with a four-boand fence, and that fall sowej 30 seres of wheat. which turned out 1.000 bushels. In 1864 he pat in 120 seres of wheat. doing all the work himself. with the assistance of a bor to drive a harrow. This tarned out 2.000 bushels, which he sold at $1.75 per bushel. These were the only two wheat erops he ever put in. Since that time Le liss tamed his attention to raising corn and feeding it to Logs sud stock: never sold bat two erops of corn .- one. 2.000 bushels at Så ets. : and one. 2.500 bushels at få ets .: has turned off in one year as high as 90 head of esttle and 200 hogs: on an average. 60 head of stock. Is 1871 Mr. T. tarmed bis attention to breeding and rising a fine grade of draft horses, of Vormen stock, and introduced the first imported Norman stallion (" Rothsmagus"Veve: introdineed into this country. Since that time he has made it his whole business: has on hand now two thoroughbred stallions, and eight graded stallions from one-half' to seven-eighths. and 2: brood mares of graded stock. as high as seven- eighths. This basiness, besides being a benefit to the country at large, in furnishing superior draft horses, has proved s paving invest- ment to Mr. Turner. Mr. T. has since added to the home farm. 50 that now it consists of 240 seres. Mr. T. also bonghi and improved the northeast one-fourth of see. 10.
