Tread lightly, this is hallowed ground ; Tread reverently here ;

Beneath this sod in silence sleeps the brave old pioneer : Who never quailed in darkest hour,

Whose heart ne'er felt a fear. Tread lightly then, and now bestow a tribute of a tear.

Forever in the fiercest and the thickest of the fight The dusk and swarthy foeman felt the terror of his might.

Bidding good-bye to the honored dead, we introduce the reader to the living, whose brief sketches following will grow of more importance as the years shall finish their probation.

BIOGRAPHICAL.

SAMUEL P. CABEEN (deceased), was among the old settlers. of Mer- cer county, and among those men who have developed its resources and propagated within its boundaries progressive institutions. He came when the country was new ; when patience, industry and energy were required as qualities of the man whose life should eventually be

He came to Mercer county, Illinois, with his parents, Samuel and Elizabeth (Wright) Cabeen. He was a young man fitted for his future by former training. He purchased land from time to time till he owned about 600 acres, the most of which he improved. In politics Mr. Cabeen was always strongly democratic, yet lie never craved office. His religion was of the Universalist doctrine. He was a good citizen, a kind father and a faithful husband. Mr. Cabeen died February 16, 1880, and is buried at the Candor graveyard.

years. Richard B. Cabeen was born May 31, 1826, in Muskingum county, Ohio. His educational advantages were limited. His life has been one of farm toil.

He is a successful farmer.

THOMAS CANDOR (deceased) was a type of the men who braved so much that this western wild might grow to usefulness. He was plain, honest, and progressive, looking not only to the rescue of the soil from its wild state, but also the upbuilding of the minds and souls of the rising generation, who now follow his teachings, both precept and example. He was born in Union county, Pennsylvania, February 29, 1796. His father was a Scotchman, and his mother Irish. Farming was their occupation. Thomas was meagerly educated. In his youth he learned the tanning trade, which he afterward followed for some time. He was married to Margaret Montgomery, daughter of John Montgomery, whose brother was proprietor of Danville, Pennsylvania. Her brother, Rev. John Montgomery, was the first preacher in Mercer county, and Hopkins Boone, an old settler here, was a brother-in-law. The fall of 1836 Thomas and Robert Candor (brothers) made the trip from Pennsylvania to Mercer county on horseback. Having secured a land claim for the N. W. ¿ Sec. 6, also S. W. } Sec. 7, he, in company with his brother Robert, sold their horses and returned to Pennsyl- vania by river. He sold his tannery, and in the fall of 1837 moved westward overland, bringing family of wife and five children : John M., Robert, Josiah, Mary H., and Daniel M., and leaving one (Elizabeth) buried in Pennsylvania. Having arrived in Mercer county, after a short stay in Keithsburg the family moved into the little log house on their farm formerly entered. . The house was partly built by William Sheriff, by order of Mr. Candor. Ere few years had passed Mrs. Candor died (September 30, 18+1), leaving a family and friends to mourn their loss. Her burial was a dedication of the Candor graveyard. Mr. Candor was next married to Mary L. Boardman, who died May 27, 1874. Mr. Candor died March 13, 1871, and was buried near his partner. From the laying out of Aledo he lived in town. He was a man fore- most in good works, yet a quiet, careful, non-speculative man. He never had a lawsuit with any man. He was an elder in the Presby-

terian church, and foremost in building the Candor church. Ilis politics were whig and republican. Of his family, John N. graduated at Princeton College, and, in the third year of his theological course at Princeton Theological Seminary, died in the twenty-fourth year of his age. Ile is buried at Danville, Pennsylvania. Josiah, Mary (the first wife of Graham Lee). Daniel M., and Robert. Robert Candor was born May 4, 1828, in Columbia county, Pennsylvania. He married Rebecca J., daughter of John and Anna (McGaughey) Linn. Her father was a native of Ohio, and her mother of Pennsylvania. Both came to Mercer county in 1839 and settled near Viola. He died August 27, 1851. He was in the war of 1812. Mrs. Candor was born in Trumbull county, Ohio, April 2, 1829. After marriage Mr. Candor farmed in Rock Island county fourteen years, and was there justice of the peace. He sold and moved to Mercer county. In 1872 he built a fine residence, 32×56, two-story. Both belong to the Presbyterian church, in which he is an elder. They have six children : John M., Thomas II., Ward L .; Sarah (now Mrs. A. W. Hill), Maggie (now Mrs. W. S. Ross), and Mary L.

GEORGE MOPHERREN (deceased) was born in County Down, Ireland. February 1, 1781. He emigrated when eighteen years of age on account of the military commotion of those times. He settled in New Jersey, near the western line. There he learned the cooper trade, which he followed most of his life. He was married to Susannah Walker, by whom he became the father of ten children : Mary, James, Susannah, Easter, Daniel, Nancy, Fannie, Sarah, George, Jr., and Andrew. Hle enlisted in the war of 1812, and while in the campaign viewed different parts of the country. He determined to locate in Ohio, and moved to Muskingum county about 1814. There he followed his trade for about twenty-one years. also overseeing his farming interest, but is believed never to have plowed a furrow him- self. In Ohio, June S, 1824, he buried his wife : a severe stroke to him. She lies in the cemetery at Rich Hill church. Mr. McPherren moved his family westward in 1835, starting September 21st, and settled in Mercer county, Illinois, in that part that afterward became Ohio Grove township. He died June 23, 1848, and was buried in the McClure graveyard. He forms a prominent figure in the history of the township; hence we dismiss him here by saying that in politics he was a strong whig, in religion a Methodist, at his trade a good work- man, and at heart a true man. His namesake and ninth child, George McPherren, was born in Muskingum county, Ohio, Angust 22, 1820, hence was a pioneer youth of Mercer county, and still lives to aid in chronicling the events that go to make the history of Mercer county.

His life since his fifteenth year has been synchronous with the pulse of the country. His hand has done its share toward making the county what it is, but will soon leave his children to carry on the work he has so well impelled thus far. Mr. McPherren has 460 acres of land, well improved, and has given farms to his sons. He was first married October 1, 1844, to Harriet O.

JAMES McBRIDE (deceased) was one of the earliest and most honored of Mercer county's pioneers. His ancestry was Scotch, Irish, Welch and German. He was born in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, and was there raised. The war of 1812 found him a member of the light horse company. He was engaged at Fort Meigs. There was a ditch before the fort, and into this bombs were rolled for the purpose of blowing up the fort. Mr. McBride accidently fell into the ditch, and a bomb was precipitated on him. Fortunately the captain rescued him just previous to the explosion, but he suffered afterward from the accident. He returned to Pennsylvania and married Mary Houseman, then sixteen years of age, also a native of Pennsylvania and of Dutch descent. In 1816 they settled in Muskingum county, Ohio, ten miles east of Zanesville. His chief business was flat-boating, and he made six trips to New Orleans. He was captain for some time.

WILLIAM I. NEVIUS (deceased) was so identified with the history of Mercer county and is so often mentioned in connection with its history that it is necessary to give but few facts in a special sketch. His father, John W., and his mother, Mary (Roland) Nevius, were natives of New Brunswick, New Jersey, and were there married. They made their homes in Mercer county, Illinois, in 1837, living with their son William I. till the following year.

During the war he was deputy provost marshal. In politics he was whig and republican. He was a member of the United Presby- terian church at his death, but in earlier years was connected with the old school Presbyterian church.
