erated by his son, William Arenz. He led a busy life as an agriculturist, transforming his farm into richly cultivated fields, which produced abundant harvests as a reward for the care and labor which he bestowed upon them. In all of his farm work he was progressive and accom- plished whatever he undertook.


While still a resident of Germany Mr. Arenz was married, in 1859, to Miss Wilhelmina Naas, also a native of the Rhine country, and a daugh- ter of Henry and Elizabeth (Schmet) Naas. She was born January 24, 1835, and came with her husband to the United States. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Arenz have been born ten children, seven of whom are yet living as follows: Lou- isa, who was born in Germany, in 1876, is now the wife of William Seipp, a successful and resi- dent farmer of Richland township, mentioned elsewhere in this volume. William, born Feb- ruary 8, 1862, married Barbara Pflibsen, and fol- lows farming near Garfield, Illinois. Charles, born in 1864, wedded Louisa Lechner and re- sides at Lostant. Wilhelmina, born in October, 1866, is the wife of Louis Jaegle, a farmer re- siding near Wenona, Illinois. John, born June 4, 1871, married Susie Pflibsen, and follows farming in Richland township. Emma, born April 22, 1869, married Bert Lechner, a resident of Eagle township. Henry, born in 1878, is in Kentucky. Those deceased are: Franz, who was born September 4, 1873, and died Feb- ruary 9, 1874; Theresa, who was born May 29, 1861, and died in the following June; and Fred- erick William, who was born January 2, 1881, and died on the 20th of the same month.


Politically Mr. Arenz is somewhat independ- ent, although he has usually voted with the de- mocracy. He has served as school director and pathmaster and in other local positions of trust. He and his wife are members of the German Catholic church and have a wide and favorable. acquaintance in the sections of the county where they are known. Mr. Arenz has now passed the seventy-seventh milestone on life's journey and well merits the rest which has been vouch- safed to him, for his life has been one of activity and enterprise, in which there have been few idle hours.


JOHN G. YENERICH.


John G. Yenerich, a retired farmer and stock- raiser, who at one time was closely associated with agricultural interests in Meriden township, La Salle county, is now residing at No. 643 Webster street, Ottawa. He was born in Ger- many, April 23, 1851, and is a son of George H.

and Eva (Beaser) Yenerich. His parents came to America in 1852 during the infancy of their son John and located in Buffalo, New York, where they lived for two years, at the end of which time they removed to Bureau county, Illinois, where they resided until 1862. In that year the father purchased a farm in Lee county, Illinois, and with his family took up his abode thereon. He carried on agricultural pursuits successfully for a number of years, acquiring thereby a comfortable competence and eventually he retired from active farm life, residing in Men- dota until his death, which occurred October 5, 1898. His wife passed away May 17, 1880.


John G. Yenerich resided in Lee county, Illi- nois, up to the time of his marriage and then re- moved to La Salle county. He pursued his edu- cation in the common schools of Lee county and in the high school at Mendota, where he re- mained for several terms. He afterward took up the occupation of farming, which he followed for a life work and in 1882 purchased his first piece of land, which he still owns. Eventually as his financial resources increased owing to his enter- prise and labor he added to his capital from time to time until he owned three hundred and twenty-five acres in this county and also land in Lee county. He placed his farm under a high state of cultivation and gathered therefrom rich harvests. He also bought, raised and sold thoroughbred Galloway cattle and Poland China hogs and his stock raising interests proved an important branch of his business, adding ma- terially to his income.


Mr. Yenerich was married in 1871 to Miss Margaret Kraemer, who was born in Clark county, Illinois. They have become the parents of five children: Mary E .; Artemus H., who married Emma Klaus and resides upon his fa- ther's farm ; Lawson G., who married Clara Ditt- man, and lives in Centralia, Illinois, where he is principal of the high school, having been well qualified for his profession by study in the nor- mal school at Dixon, Illinois, of which he is a graduate, and in the Chicago University, where he won the bachelor degree; Gertrude, who is a graduate of the high school at Mendota of the class of 1895; and Lulu May, at home.


In his political views Mr. Yenerich is a stal- wart republican and has held the offices of town- ship commissioner and school director. He be- longs to Lodge No. 510, I. O. O. F., of Lee county and to the Masonic lodge, No. 205, while his son Lawson is also identified with the latter. Both Mr. and Mrs. Yenerich are members of the Evangelical church and are people of the highest respectablity, enjoying the warm regard and esteem of all who know them. He may


well be termed a self-made man, for without capital he started out in life and his industry and perseverance gained him his start, while his good management and energy enabled him to add to his accumulations as the years passed by until he is now in possession of a handsome compe- tence that enables him to live retired.


JOHN H. BALL.


John H. Ball, a retired farmer who for the past three years has resided at Grand Ridge, arrived in La Salle county on the 4th of March, 1860, and for many years thereafter was closely associated witth its agricultural interests. He was born near Uniontown, in Fayette county, Pennsylvania, in 1837, a son of William and Nancy (Wilkins) Ball, who lived and died in Fayette county. His paternal grandfather was one of the early residents there, having removed from Maryland to Pennsylvania and the family is of English extraction. The maternal grand- father was of Scotch-Irish descent and was a Presbyterian in his religious faith. Both the father and mother of our subject passed away a number of years ago. In their family were twelve children, two sons and ten daughters, namely : Mrs. Sarah Jane Crop, of Penn- sylvania ; Mrs. Rachel Stoner, of Pennsylvania ; Mrs. Eliza Powell, of Pennsylvania ; John H., of this review ; William, of Pennsylvania; Mrs. Mary Ann Hornbeck, also of the Keystone state ; Miss Verlinda Ball, of Grand Ridge ; Nancy, who died in childhood ; Mrs. Minerva Bright; Mrs. Clarissa Jones, of Grand Ridge; Martha, who died in infancy ; and Mrs. Lucinda Lucky, of Kankakee, Illinois.


Under the parental roof in Fayette county, Pennsylvania, John H. Ball spent the days of his boyhood and attended the common schools but his educational privileges were somewhat meager, for from the age of ten years his time was given in almost undivided manner to the farm and he early became familiar with the duties and labors that fall to the lot of the agriculturist, gaining in proficiency as the years passed by. He was married in Fayette county, Pennsylvania, to Miss Ellen J. Bryson, also a native of that county and in the year 1860 they made arrange- ments to leave their old home in the Keystone state and come to Illinois. On the 4th of March of that year they arrived in La Salle county and Mr. Ball purchased a tract of land on section 14, Farm Ridge township, where he located. He still owns eighty acres of that tract in addition to one hundred and forty acres in Ford county,

PAST AND PRESENT OF LA SALLE COUNTY.


Illinois, and another farm in Missouri. He leases all of his land to his sons, now operating his Illinois farms. For many years he was an active and enterprising agriculturist, carrying on gen- eral farming from 1860 until about three years ago, when he retired from active business life. He had been successful, had cleared his land of all indebtedness, had placed many modern im- provements thereon and altogether is now the owner of very valuable farming land, which re- turns him a good income, and enables him now to live retired, leaving the more arduous care of the fields to others.


The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Ball has been blessed with eight children, two of whom were born in Pennsylvania, namely : Mrs. Anna Belle Woodward, who is living in Farm Ridge township; and Walter Bryson, who is living in the village of Grand Ridge. The children born in this county are: Isaac Ewing, who resides near Gibson, in Ford county, Illinois; William Kennedy, who is married and resides in Tacoma, Washington, where he is connected with the op- eration of the street car line; Charles Dawson, who resides upon his father's farm west of Grand Ridge; Mrs. Louisa Hughey, of Ford county, Illinois ; Mrs. Daisy Thorne, also of Ford county ; and Myrtle, who died in infancy.


In former years Mr. Ball gave his political allegiance to the democracy but now votes with the prohibition party, which embodies his views on the temperance question. He has served in some local township offices but has not been a politician in the sense of office seeking. He holds membership in the Cumberland Presbyterian church, which was the faith of his parents and grandparents, and in Grand Ridge and this sec- tion of the county he is known as a representative and worthy citizen whose life record well entitles him to the esteem and confidence which is uni- formly given him.


PATRICK J. MAHONEY.


Patrick J. Mahoney, conducting a life and fire insurance business in Ottawa, where he is also well known for prominence in political circles, having filled the office of county auditor since 1903, was born in Ottawa, December 9, 1863. His parents were William and Margaret (Con- nors) Mahoney, both of whom were natives of Ireland, born in 1840. They were married, how- ever, in Ottawa and the father is still living, but the mother departed this life in 1897. In their family were twelve children, six of whom sur- vive, namely : Mary, now the wife of John Lowe,


a resident of Ottawa; Nellie, the wife of George Bicker, of Ottawa; Margaret; Kate; Timothy; who is living in this city; and Patrick J. The year 1853 witnessed the arrival of the father in New York. He made his home in Granville, Illi- nois, until 1857, when he came to Ottawa, where he still resides, his residence in this city cover- ing almost a half century. He has therefore been a witness of much of its growth and devel- opment. In politics he is a democrat and is a communicant of the Catholic church.


Patrick J. Mahoney supplemented his early education, acquired in the public schools, by study in Brown's Business University and when his education was completed he began work at the barber's trade, carrying on business in that line in Ottawa for about twelve years. In the mean- time he had become active and influential in lo- cal political circles and was regarded as an able worker in the ranks of the democracy. In 1893 he received from Governor John P. Altgeld the appointment to the position of toll collector on the Illinois and Michigan canal and in 1897 following his retirement from office he engaged in the insurance business as agent for both fire and life insurance. To this work he has since devoted his energies and has written many large policies and done a good business in this direc- tion. At different times he has also filled posi- tions of public honor and trust. He was for two terms, in 1890 and 1891, township clerk and for two terms represented the fifth ward as a mem- ber of the city council. He is now serving his second term as township assessor and since 1903 has been county auditor. He has also been sec- retary of the democratic county central com- mittee and is recognized as one of the strong and stalwart advocates of democracy in this part of the state.


On the 10th of June, 1890, Mr. Mahoney was united in marriage to Miss Margaret Nevin, who was born in Ottawa, March 10, 1863, and is a daughter of James and Charlotte (Bender) Nevin, both of whom were natives of Ireland, in which county they were reared and married. They came to the new world in the early '50s, living in New York city until about 1860, when they came to Illinois, settling in Ottawa. The father was a school teacher and followed that profession in La Salle, Peru and other places in La Salle county until the '8os, when he retired from educational work. He had been closely connected with public education in this part of the state and his efforts in behalf of the schools had been of direct and permanent benefit. He died in March, 1894. In his family were six children, of whom five are now living: Thomas, a resident of Chicago; Elizabeth, the wife of


II7I


PAST AND PRESENT OF LA SALLE COUNTY.


James H. Brown, also living in Chicago; Mrs. Mahoney; Joseph, who makes his home in Chi- cago; and Patrick, living in Ottawa. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Mahoney have been born six chil- dren, of whom a son and four daughters yet survive, namely: Frances P., William, Marie, Charlotte and Agnes. Mr. Mahoney is a mem-


ber of the Modern Woodmen camp and his wife is connected with the Royal Neighbors. Both are members of the Catholic church and in poli- tics he is a democrat. He has worked his way steadily upward, his life being another proof of the fact that opportunity is open to the en- ergetic and the ambitious in this country.
