UTICA.

This bottom land was the favorite resort of the Illinois Indians, who occupied it in great num- bers, and both savage and civilized men have ever regarded it as a point of attraction, for its beautiful scenery, its rich soil, and mineral wealth. Old Utica was a town on the river first occupied by Simon Crosiar, and when the busi- ness was all done by river boats, was a commer- cial point of some importance, the boats arriving and departing with considerable regularity. It was regarded as the head of navigation, except at very high water when the boats ascended to Ottawa. But the building of the canal and the Rock Island Railroad, both along the foot of the bluff, on the opposite side of the valley, a mile distant, and the river boats all discharging at the basin at La Salle, dried up its sources of business, and it now stands like Goldsmith's deserted vil- lage. Instead of the panting of the river boat, its shrill note of arrival and departure, and the busy hum of the cheerful denizens of the em- bryo town on shore,

"Along its glades a solitary guest,

The hollow sounding bittern guards its nest ; Sunk are its bowers in shapeless ruin all,

And the rank weeds o'ertop the crumbling wall."

Simon Crosiar was born near Pittsburgh, Pa .; his wife, Sarah Owen, was from Clermont Coun- ty, Ohio. He left Pennsylvania in 1815, and went to Ohio, and was married in 1817 ; removed to Illinois and settled at Cap au Gray, in 1819, and removed to Calhoun County, where he re- mained until 1824, then to Peoria, and to Ottawa in 1826, where he put up a log cabin on the ra- vine; resided there one year and then removed to the south side near the Bass rocks, where he remained about two years ; removed to Shipping- port in the fall of 1829; built a mill on Cedar

Creek, and removed there in 1831. He was Postmaster, and carried the mail to and from Peoria once a month. Sold the mill to Mr. My- ers ; built a saw-mill and carding machine on the Percomsoggin; started the saw-mill in the spring of 1833 and the carding machine in the fall after. Removed to Old Utica, on the north bank of the Illinois in 1834, kept a store and warehouse for storage and commission business, and for a time was captain of a steamboat on the river. He died in November, 1846; his widow died in 1871.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Crosiar were bold, hardy and resolute, and well calculated for frontier life. Mrs. Crosiar told the writer many incidents of her pioneer life; she said she was not afraid of the Indians even when alone, unless they were drunk, but they were like white men when intox- icated, unreasonable and dangerous. On one occasion, during her husband's absence, they came and wanted whisky; she had covered up the whisky barrel and told them she had no whisky ; they told her she had, and went to un- cover the cask; she then seized a hatchet and told them they should not have it if she had; they told her she was a brave squaw, but raised their tomahawks, and she was compelled to yield to numbers ; they got the whisky and had a big drunk, but did not molest her.

Mr. Crosiar was an active participant in the Black Hawk war, and was one of the party that buried the victims of the Indian Creek massacre.

In his numérous removals he followed the rivers, transferring his family and effects in a keel boat, and frequently served as a pilot on the river. The latch string of the Crosiar cabin was always out, and many an early emigrant gratefully remembers their kindness and hospi- tality.

They had a large family of children, but they have all left except one. Amzi Crosiar, the only child remaining here, married Miss Brown, and became an extensive farmer and prominent citi- zen of Utica.

Amzi Crosiar, brother to Simon, came from Pittsburgh, and settled on section 36, near Ship- pingport, in 1826 ; came to Utica in 1833, and set- tled at the foot of the bluff on the south side of the river. He was killed by a runaway team in 1848.
