his Master calls for a change in the mode of existence. His wife, formerly Miss Rebecca Little, is still living, something over seventy years old, and is remarkably energetic for one of her age, and is one of the excellent housewives and model ladies of the day. It has been remarked of some people that they never grow old, and if there is truth in this adage, it never was more appli- cable than to this venerable old couple, who through all the in- tervening years have brought with them the freshness and sweetness of youth.
They have raised a family of four children in the highest credit and respectability, all citizens of this county, save Payson E., of Boulder City, Cal. ; and have not only given their offspring all the ordinary advantages of the period, but have conferred on them that higher education which not only prepares men for the duties of the present, but qualifies them for the facts of the life to come. They are both members of the Presbyterian church, and have been for many years followers of Him who descended into this mortal world for the purpose of teaching mortals how to live. In fact, far back in the mystic past, before Mr. Gleason applied his hand to the helm of the craft of active life, he gave his heart to the King of kings; and to the sustaining strength of his faithful Master he attributes his success in life.
Since becoming a resident of this county he has, as usual with him, been actively employed in the cause of general improvement, education and Christian evangelization. He moved in the organiza- tion of the town of Milam, and has had charge, more or less, of all measures having in contemplation its moral, educational and ma- terial development. He was the suggester and author of the 'stock-law " that has worked with such advantage and satisfaction to his fellow-townsmen, and took an active part in securing good homes and instructors for the young. His usefulness, however, has not been confined to his own town, but he is favorably known by the people of the county at large as a reliable, active and public-spirited citizen. He was chairman of the court-house committee, and to his influence and action is largely due the securing on favorable terms of the present court-house rooms, and of the sale of the old court- house. His life has been characterized by punctuality, fidelity to trust, and a degree of self-denial, for the public good, wherever he has lived, and in honor to his memory, it can be truthfully said : " He has been loyal to his family, to his country and to his God."
GEO. A. BARTLETT
HAILS from the rich and cultivated old county of Madison,' where his grandfather, Joseph Bartlett, settled in 1808, being an emi- grant from Tenn., in which W. R., Mr. B.'s father, was born, and who was seven years old when the family arrived in Illinois. He married Miss Lucy Thompson, by whom he raised a family of ten children, all now dead but Mr. Bartlett, Wm. R., Jno. W., James P'. of Washington territory, Mary A. Hunter, of Portland, Oregon, and Thompson, of Sedalia, Mo.
Mr. Bartlett was born near Edwardsville, Nov. 11th, 1832, was raised as a farmer, and on attaining his majority, leased a half section of land for ten years, which was the means of starting him, financially, in the world. He was married in 1861, to Miss Isabella McNickle, the daughter of George and Jane McCoy. A short time before the expiration of his lease he bought a farm of 100 acres, four miles east of his county-seat, on which he lived till his removal to this county in 1868, and which he disposed of at the round price of $80 per acre. He at once, on his arrival here, pur- chased the fine farm in Milam township which has since been his
home, and which is handsomely improved, and in a superior state of cultivation-equal in every respect to any in his precinet.
Though in the strictest sense a farmer, and having no taste for official cares and responsibilities, still he has held some of the posi- tions of trust within his township. He was its second supervisor, and held the office for two terms, and for three years was commis- sioner of highways, and was the first town collector. His public duties were discharged in every respect with ability and integrity, and to his endeavors the people are indebted for the timely and excellent system of grading and drainage imperatively demanded by the topography of the country.
He was bereaved by the death of his amiable companion in 1874, who left behind her six children-all still living save one which followed its mother to the grave in a few days. His second wife was Miss Henriette Naftel, an accomplished lady, by whom his family circle has been enlarged by the birth of three additional children.
From family traditions we gather the following facts in regard to the early history of the Bartlett family. His great-grandfather was a French Quaker, who settled in Va., and afterwards moved into Md., where Mr. B.'s grandfather was born. He was a frontiersman in an eminent sense, first in N. C., then in Tenn., and lastly in Ills. He was in the Black Hawk and other early Indian wars, and was one of the best informed old settlers of his day, was well known by many of the earlier politicians of the state, and such were the reten- tive qualities of his memory that he had the histories of the three states in which he had lived almost by heart.
DAVID J. FREELAND.
AMONG the names of early settlers and prominent citizens, who have aided in the improvement and development of the rich re- sources of the county, we include the name of Mr. Freeland as the representative of a family, deserving more than a passing histori- cal notice.
The origin of the family line dates back to the sunny climes of Italy, from whence they found their way to Ireland. In the early colonization of the United States, they left the Emerald Isle and settled in the South ; at least they were citizens of North Caro- lina when the war of the American revolution threatened to sever the ties which bound the colonies to the mother country. John Freeland, Mr. Freeland's grandfather, with six brothers, aided in the cause of freedom, as soldiers in the continental army. At the time when Cornwallis and Greene measured their military strength, in the battle of Guilford Court-House, he was confined to a bed of sickness, and fell into the hands of the British General, by whom he was subsequently released. After serving his country till the close of the war, he was united in marriage with a Miss Kate Johnson, of Orange county, in which he afterwards settled, and where he finally died. He raised a large and respectable family on his farm, near Chapel Hill, the site of the once renowned Uni- versity of North Carolina, where graduated some of the first men of the nation, including Benton, Polk and others, of almost equal renown. There, James, Mr. Freeland's father, was born. He received a liberal education at the University. After completing his course at college, he applied his attention to surveying, and for twenty-five years performed the great mass of the work of this character for Orange county, and with an accuracy and skill which evinced the highest degree of efficiency in this branch of science, and at a time and in a locality, when lines were determined by " metes and bounds," and the surveyor had none of the advantages of meridians, base-lines, &c. He was early married to Miss Jane
236
HISTORY OF MACON COUNTY, ILLINOIS.
Strain, daughter of Alexander Strain, a well-known citizen of Orange county. In 1836 he sold out his small farm and directed his course to the then new state of Illinois and settled the same year in that part of Moultrie, which was afterwards set off in the formation of Macon county, near the site where his son, the subject of this notice, now lives ; and where he resided till the time of his death in 1871, in the seventy-seventh year of his age. After settling in Illinois he gave his attention entirely to farming and concomitant interests, and became one of the most successful men of the county, in its earlier history. He entered and bought about eight hundred acres of land, most of which is included in the limits of the county, and which he principally reduced to cultiva- tion. He not only gave his time and thought to the material industries of his settlement and community, but being himself a Christian by profession, he sought by all accessible methods, then in existence, the propagation and establishment of evangelical and literary agencies, which in every community lay the foundation for everything valuable in society.
He was a close calculator, saving, economical, charitable, perse- vering, industrious, and in his business transactions the very soul of honor. In all good work his wife, an estimable Christian lady, not only seconded but aided, with a woman's delicacy, the under- takings of her husband. They both joined the Presbyterian Church in North Carolina, and after coming to this state, united as a matter of convenience with the Cumberland Presbyterians ; in which fellowship they continued till death put an end to their labors, she preceding him to the grave some three years.
They brought nine children with them to this county. Three of their sons are still living : John, a well-known citizen, and former county official of Moultrie county, now of Sullivan. Samuel, a well-known old settler and well-to-do farmer of the same county, and the subject of this sketch. James, a rising young minister of the C. P. Church, and a graduate of Cumberland University, Tennessee, died in Sullivan. William died from the effects of wounds, received in the Union service, at the battle of Pittsburg Landing, and another son, Joseph, died when a young man, also
in Sullivan. Of the four daughters, three died in this county, and one near Wenona, Illinois.
Of Mr. Freeland himself, we design only briefly to speak. Still an epitome of his life and work as a citizen of the county is essen- tial to a general family sketch. He was born April 19th, 1819, in his father's native state. He received a fair education in his earlier school days, completing an ordinary Academic course at Hillsboro, Montgomery county. He taught some six years after attaining his majority, since which time, he has given his attention entirely to the more congenial and active pursuits of agriculture, in which he has been in a marked degree successful; now, own- ing one of the best farms in the eastern part of the county.
He has been twice married. His first wife was Miss Sarah, the daughter of David Strain, an early settler of Moultrie county, by whom he had one son, Alexander, a well-known citizen of Milam township and also a soldier in the late civil war for the suppression of the rebellion, growing out of the attempted secession of the Southern states. By his second wife, formerly Miss Martha Sawyer, daughter of John Sawyer, an old and well-known settler of Coles county, he has a family of nine surviving children, all being well educated, both in literature and the methods of business, and general usefulness. Mr. Freeland joined the Presbyterian Church in North Carolina, and with his parents united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church on coming to this state, a fellowship in which he has maintained a consistent standing, all his subsequent life. His former companion lived and died in the same religious communion, and his present wife and nearly all his children, have membership in the same order. In the history of Mr. Freeland we have the general points embraced in most of our old pioneer homes, viz .: in- dustry, honesty, hospitality and a warm-hearted cordiality, fostered under the peculiar conditions of the early days of our history. May those virtues survive and be handed down to the remotest periods of posterity, and may the names, as well as the social vir- tues of our old settlers, live in the memory of their successors for all time to come.
