already mentioned, viz : his father and mother, with seven children, and his broth- ers-in-law Adam Stevens and Thomas Lu- cas; with the exception of the latter, all settled near the Big Grove on the Kicka- poo, not far from the present town of At- lanta; here they found Timothy B. and Benjamin F. Shipley, with their families, who had come from the Sangamon River in the spring; they had built cabins, planted a crop of corn, and were breaking prairie. Samuel Hoblit pre-empted forty acres of timber, and entered forty acres of prairie adjoining, paying for the latter one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre at the land office in Springfield; to pay this, he bor- rowed the money of his father, who had brought five hundred dollars with him ; he at once cleared five acres of land, built a small cabin, and began life with his wife, one child, James D. and one dollar and fifty cents in silver; the following summer he planted a crop and built a hewed log house (still standing) in the edge of the timber; he moved into this house the day of the commencement of the "deep snow;" as these houses were somewhat open, the snow of that long winter, lasting eighty days without a thaw, continually drifted in, until under the bed it reached the cords, where it became packed and was allowed to remain until spring. The family lived here about ten years; Mr. Hoblit worked at his trade and carried on his farm; he made little and big wheels, reels, wagons, bedsteads, chairs, etc .; as this was the only shop in the community, he had abundance of work, and consequently considerable ready money; he was fortunate in this respect, as farm products at Pekin and Chicago did not bring prices sufficient to hardly justify their production. Mr. Hoblit built the largest hewed log house in the community, and in it Lewis M. and John A. were born; he also bought forty acres of land of Hiram Bowman, a Baptist minister; at the latter's house the New Castle, now Atlanta, Baptist church was organized; it is the oldest church here; in 1839 he built a large two-story frame house on the State road; he entered it the fall of that year, and in it the remainder of his children, Franklin, Caroline and Sylvester, were born; here he often entertained Abraham

Lincoln, David Davis, Judge Treat, John T. Stewart, States Attorney Campbell, and others equally well known, when on their way to and from Bloomington to Spring- field; they always traveled in their own conveyances. Here he built a shop, contin- ued his trade, and improved his farm, ex- tending it to 320 acres, besides buying land in McLean County; in 1850 he sold the home farm to N. Rouch, for twenty dollars per acre in gold; he intended to move to Bloomington, where he had partly bar- gained for forty acres, then offered at one hundred dollars per acre, where the Chicago & Alton R.R. shops are now situated. He however moved to the Downey farm, five miles southwest of Atlanta, which he pur- chased, and in 1854 erected a comfortable residence, where he lived until his death, on May 26, 1866. His widow and youngest son still reside on the home. For several years he had ceased to work, owing to his being very fleshy, weighing at one time 363 pounds, and which no doubt shortened his days; he was buried in the Atlanta ceme- tery; he was a good manager, energetic in his work, and conscientiously fair in all his dealings; in politics he was a whig, after- wards a republican; he lived to see slavery abolished and the Union preserved; he was a Baptist, and for many years a deacon in the church; while living he contributed liberally, and in his will gave one thousand dollars and half its annual income to the Atlanta Baptist church for ever; he also remembered Shurtleff college, and one or two other institutions; he gave all his chil- dren a good start, and lived to see them well settled, and occupying honorable po- sitions in life. Abigal Hoblit, his wid- ow, still enjoys good health; she is living on the homestead, where, within a radius of twelve miles, are her six children, twen- ty grand and two great - grand children; she was a true help - mate, sharing all the toils of frontier life ; she made every thing worn by the family for years; many of the articles are yet preserved, and should be carefully kept by those having them, as they can not now be duplicated; she was a brave and devoted mother, a model housekeeper, and her "boys and girls" yet aver that none can cook like mother-and grandmother-Hoblit. Mr.


and Mrs. Hoblit left a family of six chil- dren; the oldest, James D. was born Nov. 28, 1827, in Green County, Ohio; he came with his parents to Illinois in 1829, and remained on the farm until of age; on September 16, 1849, he married Mary Dyer, eldest daughter of George Dyer; she was born November 20, 1829; they have two children, Byron B. and George; he is a re- publican, a Baptist, and owns -350 acres. Lewis M. was born April 11, 1830, in this county; he has five children,-Laban Josephine, Belle, Sylvanus and Abigal. John A. was born March 5, 1833, in this county; he remained on the farm until of age ; on January 17, 1856, he married Nancy Wilmouth, daughter of Joseph Wilmouth; she was born March 31, 1836, in Logan Co. Ohio; they have seven children: Joseph W., A. Lincoln, Francis, Nellie, John A. and L. Benjamin; a twin sister of Nellie died in infancy; he is a Baptist, republican, and owns 822 acres of land. Frank was born Nov. 1, 1839; was brought up on the farm, clerked in a store at the age of 18, and was afterward book-keeper in bank; when near 21 years of age he entered the dry goods trade; sold out in 1865, and in March, 1866, began the banking business; is now cashier of the First National bank, Atlanta; married Mellie A. Allen, June 5, 1864; she is daughter of Dr. J. S. Allen, and was born Jan, 2, 1846; they have one child, Walter B. born Sept. 21, 1865; he is a republican. Caroline was born Sept. 20, 1842; married James S. Martin Dec. 25, 1866; he is a son of James P. Martin, who moved to center of Delavan prairie, being the second one to venture · out from the timber; they have six chil- dren: Samuel H., Ellen M, Charles E, Mary, Clinton D. and Mellie; Mr. Martin owns 340 acres in Orvil township, where he resides. Sylvester was born March 5, 1849; he now lives on the homestead with his mother; he married Adelaide Timmons Feb. II, 1874; she was born Oct. 3, 1854, aud is eldest child of Calvin Timmons; they have two children: Charles S. and Samuel G .; he is republican, and owns 140 acres in Atlanta Township
