BIOGRAPHICAL.
Michael Adolph came to Logan County, Illinois, in February, 1868, where he has since resided. He is a native of Baden, Ger- many, born April 12, 1830, remaining there till his seventeenth year. He then came with his brother and a sister, who are now both deceased, to the United States, sailing from Liverpool, Eng- land, to New York, arriving at the latter place the beginning of August. They soon after went to Washtenaw County, Michigan, and settled near Ann Arbor, his sister remaining in that county till her death. He owed his brother-in-law $60, which he paid the first year he lived in Michigan. After working by the month for three years in Michigan he and his brother came to Pekin, Illinois, with a little money, where his brother died of cholera. He rented land at Pekin and worked at whatever he could find to do. In March, 1853, he was married to Agnes Gruensfelder, who was born in Baden, Germany, June 22, 1836. She died April 1, 1875. Their family consisted of ten children-Catherine, born February 9, 1854; Magdelena, November 9, 1856; Pauline, April 10, 1859; Philip, January 22, 1861; Carl Ludwig, April 17, 1863 (deceased); Heinrich, November 2, 1865; Louis, August 28, 1867; Agnes, Au- gust 22, 1871; Eva, November 4, 1872, and Lydia, November 11, 1874. Mr. Adolph resided in Pekin five years, during which time he saved his earnings, so that in 1858 he had sufficient means to pur- chase eighty acres of land near the city, on which he lived till Feb- ruary, 1868. He then sold his land and came to Logan County and purchased 160 acres of land on section 6, Prairie Creek Town- ship, where he now resides. He now owns 240 acres of choice land, and his land is well cultivated. He is a member of the German Methodist Episcopal church, and in politics he is a Republican. He has served six years as road commissioner, and has held the office of school trustee since the time he settled in the county.
Thomas J. Chesnut, eldest son of Alexander R. and Mary A. (McCollister) Chesnut, was born in Ross County, Ohio, June 4, 1834. He came with his father's family to Illinois in 1849, and in 1851 to Logan County, where he has since lived with the exception of three years, making his home in Prairie Creek Town- ship. He was reared on a farm and has always followed the avoca- tion of a farmer, and at present he is engaged in farming and stock-raising. He was married in March, 1860, to Margaret H. Caldwell, daughter of Brice Caldwell, and they have a family of 54

After his marriage Mr. Chesnut resided three years in Mason County, Illinois, and in the spring of 1863 he settled on section 29, Prairie Orcek Township, where he has a valuable farm of 320 acres. He also owns 240 acres in Fillmore County, Nebraska. In politics he votes the Republican ticket. For many years he has served his township in several of the local offices. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. His grandfather, Captain Charles Chesnut, was a native of Rockingham County, Virginia. He was Captain of a company of militia in the war of 1812. He was married to Elizabeth Robertson, and reared one son, Alexander R., father of our sub- ject, and one daughter. Captain Chesnut came to Illinois with his son and lived in Logan County till his death in 1858, at the age of eighty-nine years. Alexander R. Chesnut was one of the pioneers of Prairie Creek Township. He was born in Chillicothe, Ross County, Ohio, in September, 1801, and reared on a farm. His wife, Mary A. McCollister, was also a native of Ross County, and of the children born to them five grew to maturity-Thomas J .; Nelson, died in 1875; Matilda, wife of Jefferson Donavan; Alexander R., a real estate dealer in Minneapolis, and Mary Ann, wife of John Jones. Alexander R. Chesnut continued farming in his native county till 1846, when he removed to Christian County, Illinois, and in 1881 he settled in Logan County, on section 32, Prairie Creek Township. Here he purchased 440 acres of land, all being raw prairie with the exception of 100 acres. He followed farming till 1869, by which time he had 1,000 acres, when he sold out and removed to Morgan County, remaining there till his death in 1880. He was a successful and enterprising farmer, and a highly respected citizen. In politics he was formerly a Whig, but since 1856 he was a staunch supporter of the Republican party. He was often chosen to fill local offices.
J. V. Cunningham was born in Hardy County, West Virginia, April 17, 1810, a son and grandson of Virginians. In 1832 he went to Scioto County, Ohio, and made that his home twenty-one years. In 1833 he returned to his native county and married Catherine S. Harness. In 1853 he came to Illinois and rented land in Sangamon County a year, in the meantime traveling over the ad- joining counties in search of a permanent home, and purchased about 800 acres in Prairie Creek Township, Logan County. In the spring of 1854 he moved his family to the new home. About

He has sold a part of his land and given a part to his children, but still retains in the homestead 320 acres. To Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham have been born twelve children, eight of whom are living-Jacob V., John H., David G., Mary F. (wife of Albert Vandivort), Sallie, Anna (wife of George Smith), Virginia L., and James Vause.
