LATHAM ROBERT B. was born in Union County, Ky. on the 21st day of June, 1818. His father, James Latham, the first settler in the bounds of Logan County, was born in Virginia, on October 21, 1768; on June 21, 1792, he was married to Miss Mary Briggs, a native of the same state, and who was born on February 3, 1772. The history of Mr. Latham's removal and settlement in the Prairie State is fully described in the historical portion of this volume, and need not be repeated here. His family consisted of ten children, all of whom were born in Kentucky. The oldest, Betsey, married James Chapman, and with him moved to Sangamon County in the fall of 1819. Lucy married Grant Blackwell, and lived and died in Kentucky. Fanny died young. Richard, who came to Illinois with Mr. and Mrs. Chapman, and who was cotemporary with his father in the early
-
settlement of this county, first married Emily Hubbard (this was probably the first marriage in the county). After her death he married Margaret Broadwell. He re- sided at Elkhart until 1852, when he went to Springfield, where he died. He was buried at Elkhart. Mary married John Constant, and lived at Springfield until her death. Phillip married Catharine Tabor, at Springfield. While on a visit to Ken- tucky in 1844, he was killed by the fall of a tree. Nancy, who was never married, still lives in Springfield with Mrs. Richard Latham. John married Lucy Bennett, and lived some time at Elkhart. While pursuing his studies for the university in the east, and when on his way home, he sickend and died of fever at Vevay, Ind. Robert B. the subject of this sketch, and now the oldest settler in the County, was one year old when the family reached their western home. There were then but two cabins on the site of Spring- field, and his father's was the first north of the Sangamon river. Robert ob- tained his first education sitting on the knee of. Erastus Wright, one of the first teachers who came to Illinois, and who was employed in the family of Mr. James Latham. He afterward attended a subscription school in Peoria (Fort Clark) during two years, and in 1827, the year after his father's death, he went to Morgansfield, Ky. where he resided with his sister Lucy, Mrs. Black well, where he at- tended school. He afterward returned to Elkhart, and subsequently went to Stout's Grove, McLean County, thence to Fancy Creek, embracing every opportunity to gain an education. At the age of 16 he entered the high school at Springfield, and studied during the winter terms four years, perfecting himself in the common branches, and pursuing the natural sciences and higher mathematics. Here he formed the acquaintance of Abraham Lincoln, which ripened into an intimate friendship. Dur- ing the vacations he worked on the farm at home. Attaining his majority he re- ceived his portion of his father's estate, and at once engaged in farming for him- self. His land occupied a part of Elkhart Grove, and here he remained until 1850, when he sold his farm and established

himself in the real-estate business in Mt. Pulaski, then the seat of justice for Logan County. This year he was elected Sheriff and held the office two years. Mr. Latham was employed to secure the right of way for the Chicago & Alton Railroad through the county. This he performed in a successful manner, and was granted the right to form a town on this road. As a station had been made at Elkhart, another was desired about ten miles east, which would bring it near the center of the county, and about a mile from the old. town of Postville. A quarter section of land was purchased here by himself, J. D. Gillett, and Virgil Hickox. On this the present city of Lincoln was laid out. For the advancement of this city, now the county seat, no man has done as much as Col. Latham; in 1860 he was elected to the State Legislature, and in 1862 responded to the call for troops by raising the One Hundred and Sixth Illinois Regiment, of which the Governor appointed him Col- onel, in accordance with the unanimous wish of the men; he was held in great es- teem by his men, and bravely shared the privations of a soldier's life with them; his care for his regiment was unremitting, and brought on an attack of fever, from which he lay in the hospital at Memphis a month in a critical condition; he was then brought home, and on his recovery returned to his regiment, but was soon prostrated by pneumonia and was obliged to resign his commission; no better evidence of the esteem in which Col. Latham was held by his men can be expressed than in the fol- lowing letter, written by one of them:
" JACKSON, Tenn., May 1, 1862.
We still sleep in the open air, and while we are so highly favored with pleasant weather we would just as soon remain in this condition as any other way. Col. Latham stays with us, sharing the same privations that we do, and appears to care more for the comfort of his men than for himself. The Colonel is becoming very popular with our men. Since coming South the Colonel has shown himself to be a man, not only of deep sympathies, but also of much more talent and ability as a commander than we had supposed, and has thus gained the confidence and esteem
of the entire regiment. I have heard quite a number say that since coming here they would not be willing to exchange him for any other Colonel in the service. This popularity is increasing every day, and we think we can boast of a Colonel who is an honor to his regiment, Logan County, and the Prairie State."
Since the war he has lived in Lincoln, where his beneficence has been unbounded. Every church in town has received from him pecuniary aid, while through his efforts over twenty thousand dollars were raised for the college building here. In railroad interests he has always taken an active part. He built almost the entire Pekin, Lincoln & Decatur Road, and was for some time its President. He also brought into successful operation the Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western branch, which runs through this county. Mr. Latham was first married to Miss Georgiana P. Gillett, daughter of John Gillett, Senior. By her he had three children: John G., Mary, and James, all of whom and Mrs. Latham . died at Mt. Pulaski. He was again mar- ried to Miss Savillah Wyatt, daugh- ter of William Wyatt, who resided near Jacksonville. She is one of the third graduating class of the Methodist Female College at Jacksonville, and is a very highly accomplished lady. She was one of the seven young ladies who founded the Belles-Lettres Society connected with her Alma Mater, and was for many years its corresponding secretary. After her gradu- ation she pursued a course of reading at Carrollton, Ill,. perfecting her acquaintance with leading American authors. Mr. and Mrs. Latham have five children, all of whom live at Lincoln. Their names and births are as follows: Mary, born May 5, 1859, Richard, July 1, 1860, Roburtie, Aug. 12, 1861, William W. Nov. 28, 1865, and Georgianna, Nov. 24, 1872
