COMPANY G, ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOURTH REGIMENT.
The 124th regiment with few exceptions was raised from men resi- dents in the vicinity of the Chicago, Bnriington & Quicy railroad between the west end of Mercer county to Chicago, and almost every town and county along the line contributing a share. New Boston and vicinity furnised nearly one whole company, the one above named.

COMPANY B, ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIXTH REGIMENT.
The company was organized September 10, 1862. Lyman H. Scudder was elected captain, Ezra C. Benedict first lieutenant, and Benton Pratt, second lieutenant. The first two named afterward resigned, and Pratt succeeded each in course and was mustered out captain. John W. Mosby and William B. Day each succeeded to higher offices in consequence, and the former was mustered out as first, and the latter as second, lieutenant. The organization of the regiment took place at Camp Butler the same month, and one month later was in the enemy's country at Jackson, Tennessee, and on the 2Stli of November was assist- ing in driving the rebels across the Tallahatchie river. During the year 1863 the regiment fought in the battles of Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hills, and was in the whole of the siege of Vicksburg, including the charge on the fortifications, and the assault on Fort Hill. The 124th received from Maj .- Gen. McPherson the prize banner offered by Brig .- Gen. Leggett for excellency in discipline and drill and soldierly appearance. Upon the banner was inscribed "EXCELSIOR REGIMENT, THIRD DIVISION, SEVENTEENTH ARMY CORPS." After this the regiment was engaged in the raid to Meriden, the campaign under General Slocum to Jackson. The balance of the term of service was spent mostly in the extreme south around New Orleans and Mobile.
COMPANY B, ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIXTH REGIMENT.
This company was raised near the line between Rock Island and Mercer counties, Duncan and Perryton townships furnishing quite a number of the men. The company was organized September 4, 1862, and the regiment the same day at Alton, Illinois, whither the members of the company and the companies and parts of companies had gone.
About two months later we find the regiment at Bolivar, Tennes- see, and November 28, at La Grange. December 19 the regiment went to Jackson, Tennessee, to re-enforce that place. September 10, 1863, the regiment participated in the capture of Little Rock, Arkan- sas. The regiment was also engaged in the siege of Vicksburg and Clarendon, Arkansas. It was mustered out June 26, 1864.

COMPANY F, ONE HUNDRED AND FORTIETH REGIMENT.
One company of this regiment was raised in Mercer county. This was a three months', or 100 days', regiment. The company and the regiment were organized June 18, 1864. Russell S. Osborn, of Aledo, was captain of company F. George Boone, of Aledo, was first lieuten- ant, and Van R. Harriott was second lieutenant. There were no resignations or deaths in the ranks of these officers, and consequently no promotions, and all were mustered out October 29, 1864, 130 days after date of enlistment.
NORTH HENDERSON TOWNSHIP.
This township, which is T. 13 N., R. 1 W. of the 4th P. M., is one of the best agricultural townships in the county. Pope creek skirting along its northern boundary, sometimes in this and sometimes in Rivoli township, made a strip of rough, broken land, averaging about one-half mile in width the entire length of the township. A portion of this was originally covered by excellent timber. The north half of section 1 was especially noted for the very heavy body of tim- ber on it, and great effort was made by some of the first settlers to find the owner or owners of it, so much did they covet its possession. It was held under what was known as a patent title, and no clue to the ownership being obtainable it became what was known in those days as a "hooking quarter," and many a mile of worm fence was made with the rails cut and split upon this land.
The north fork of the Henderson river, from which the township takes its name, has its source in Rio township, Knox county, cross- ing the line into this township near the northeast corner of section 13, and running nearly due west across it, leaves it near the half section line of section 18. There are but two small groves of native timber on this stream, within the bounds of this township; Hickory grove in sections 15 and 16, and Scott's grove in section 18. There is but a small percentage of broken land bordering this stream in this township.
The St. Louis branch of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, which was built as the Rockford, Rock Island & St. Louis railroad, in 1871, passes through this township ; entering on the S. E. ¿ of Sec. 24, it runs in a southwesterly direction, leaving near the southwest corner of section 31. The village of North Henderson, which is the only village in the township, is located on this railroad and was laid out

in 1871, on the W. ¿ of the N. W. of Sec. 26, by Wmn. H. and John T. Brown, sons of Allen S. Brown, one of the pioneers of this town- ship. This is now quite a flourishing village, having two stores doing a general mercantile business, two drug stores, two hardware stores, two agricultural implement dealers, two grain merchants, one lumber yard, one restaurant, one harness shop, one shoe shop, one furniture store, one millinery store, one blacksmith and repair shop, one livery stable, one hotel, one barber shop, and four doctors. There is a good two-story school-house in the village and one church, the Methodist Episcopal. The I.O.O.F. also have a fine two-story building here, 28×48 feet, twenty feet posts, built two years ago at a cost of $1,600. The lower story is fitted up for a public hall and the second floor for the exclusive use of the order, which is very strong here.
The Methodist Episcopal class of North Henderson is the oldest church organization in the township, having been organized at the house of David Bruner, in the spring of 1840, by Asa McMurtry, who was at that time on the Mercer circuit, which included all of this county with part of Rock Island, Knox and Warren counties, requir- ing a month for the minister to make the round of his charge. The original members of this class were : David Bruner and wife, Margaret Bruner (now the wife of W. R. Mathers), John Vestal and wife, Susan- nah Wood (who was a daughter of David Bruner), and Andrew J. Holmes and wife.
In this township live several members, including the present pastor, Elder John M. Brown, of the oldest church organization in this part of the state, though organized and having its church building in Knox county. It is the Henderson Predestinarian Baptist church, and was constituted August 14, 1830, at the house of D. Roundtree, by Elders Stephen Stricklin and John Logan, the original members being Jacob and Rhoda Gum; James and Martha Goff; Reuben and Ruth Nance ; John D., Dariah and Mary Roundtree; Martha, Daniel and Obadiah Fuqua; Nicholas and Deborah Vailes. This church has had a continuous and uninterrupted existence from the time of its constitution until the present, and its records show the proceedings of every monthly meeting, which now lack but one of completing the full period of fifty-two years. This church belongs to the Spoon river association of the Predestinarian Baptist church, formed in 1830, in which connection it has been ever since its constitution. Elder Joseph Jones, who was well known to the pioneers of this county, joined this church in November, 1847, and died January 29, 1848. He had previously been connected with a branch of this church, in this county, called the Regular Baptist Church of Jesus Christ, of Edwards river.
798
HISTORY OF MERCER AND HENDERSON COUNTIES.
The first record of this church is the minutes of a meeting of the mem- bers, held at the house of George Miller, on Edwards river, July 21, 1838, of which meeting Jeremiah Swafford was chosen mederator, and Abraham Miller, Jr., clerk. This meeting was held within the present limits of Perryton township. Meetings were held in the private houses of members until at a meeting held in the house of Gabriel M. Barkley, in Farlow's grove (now in Preemption township), December 22, 1838, the next regular meeting was appointed at the school-house in Sugar Grove (now Perryton township). March 23, 1839, they voted to appeal to Henderson church for letters of dismission and help to constitute them into a separate church. Their prayer was granted, and the Edwards river church was constituted June 29, 1839, by Elders Joseph Jones, Charles Vandever, and Hiram Bowman. The members at the constitution were : Joseph and Rebecca Jones ; George, Mary Ann, and Julia Ann Miller; Abraham Miller, Jr .; John and Sarah Farlow; Roswell and Mehitable Stanard; Youngs Green ; Michael Donahoo ; Gabriel M. and Hannah R. Barkley; Mary Miller ; and Susannah Shelley. Gabriel M. Barkley was chosen first deacon of the church, and Abraham Miller, Jr., first clerk; Gabriel M. Barkley, treasurer; Elder Joseph Jones, moderator and pastor.
The first delegation from this church was Joseph Jones, Gabriel M. Barkley, George Miller, John Farlow, and Abraham Miller, Jr., to sit in council with and constitute a church at William Denison's. It was voted at this time to hold meetings one-half the time at Sugar Grove and one-half the time at Farlow's Grove. The last regular meeting of this church was held October 9, 1847, when, "after consultation and due deliberation being had the church and council thought it expedient to letter each other out and so become dissolved, inasmuch as the members are moving away out of the bounds of this church."
There are but two church buildings in this township. Besides the Methodist Episcopal church mentioned above is the Maple Grove United Brethren church, located on the N. E. ¿ of Sec. 36, in a beau- tiful grove of soft maple trees. This society was organized in 1869, and built its church the same year, a very neat structure 30×40×16 feet. Its present pastor is Rev. Mr. Dilley, resident at Alexis, where is another church of this denomination.
A class of the Methodist Episcopal church was formed at the Mann school-house at an early day, probably soon after the class was formed at David Bruner's, but its early record is not now obtainable. This class was ministered to by David Bruner and other local preachers of the Methodist Episcopal church, transient ministers, with an occasional visit from the minister in charge of the Mercer circuit.

NORTH HENDERSON TOWNSHIP.
The Methodist Episcopal church in North Henderson was the first church built in the township. It was built at what is known as Mount Vernon, south of the village, and was moved into the village after that had become a fact.
The Odd Fellow's have a very strong lodge, with a fine hall in the village. North Henderson Lodge, No. 628, I.O.O.F., was chartered October 11, 1876, by J. H. Oberly, grand master for the state. Its charter members were Israel T. Jones, Lewis Schwartz, C. W. Cum- mins, Laland Salts, Michael Karl, L. E. Dredge, and James Smith. The first officers of this lodge were J. M. Hall, N.G .; Lewis Schwartz, V.G .; I. T. Jones, Sec .; C. W. Cummins, Treas.
North Henderson Encampment, No. 99, I.O.O.F., was chartered December 28, 1880. Its charter members were H. C. Dodge, A. F. Howard, Fred Rich, John Flory, Jesse Jackson, J. H. Humes, Michael Karl, Dr. C. G. Stewart, John T. Morford, I. N. Frederick, Lewis Schwartz, C. W. Cummins, L. E. Dredge, and C. A. Pinne, chartered by John P. Foss, Grand Patriarch. The first officers of this Encampment were C. G. Stewart, C.P .; John T. Morford, H.P .; Henry Simms, S.W .; I. N. Fredericks, J.W .; J. H. Humes, scribe ; A. F. Iloward, Treas. The Past Grands of the lodge are J. M. Hall, I. P. Jones, A. H. Jones, Michael Karl, L. Schwartz, John T. Mor- ford, and Fred Rich. In 1880 the lodge built a two story hall 28×48×20 feet, at a cost of $1,600 ; the ground floor being fitted for a public hall and the second floor exclusively for the use of the order.
The township has built a neat and commodious town hall in the village for the public uses of the town. The first postoffice established in this township was called Ethel, and was located on section 21, John Goff, postmaster. After the village of North Henderson was estab- lished, the Ethel postoffice was removed to the village and the name changed, though Mr. Goff continued to be postmaster. George A. Blue, druggist, is the present postmaster.
February 18, 1838, the first marriage ceremony was solemnized in this township by the Rev. Mr. Gardiner, of Galesburg, a Universalist minister, uniting Benjamin F. Brown and Miss Lucinda Mann. The first birth in the township was that of William D. Fleharty, October +, 1834, son of Govert and Margaret Fleharty, who lived on section 1 at that time. The first death to occur in this township was a child of John Pollock, which was the second interment in the Mann cemetery, the wife of James Bridger having been the first, in 1836. Thither Mr. James Mann, who gave the site for this cemetery, soon followed, dying March 10, 1837, at the age of sixty-four. In 1840 scarlet fever broke

out as an epidemic in this neighborhood and the mortality was very great for such a sparsely settled country, there having been ten inter- ments in this cemetery in one month.
The first settler within the limits of this township, was Mr. Govert Fleharty, who located on the southeast quarter of section 1, in the spring of 1833. In the fall of 1834 James Mann and his son, Young C., and Timothy Meeker, arrived from Indiana, wintering in Knox county, just east of Mr. Fleharty's ; they made claims in this township, upon which they located the following spring of 1835, Mr. Mann's claim being on section 6, where Young C. still resides, and Mr. Meek- er's on section 5, his widow now residing on the old homestead with one of her sons, other sons and daughters living in the vicinity. The same spring of 1835 Benjamin F. and Harison Brown made claims on sections 18 and 19. The Scott family came into this township in 1837, Notley Scott buying the claim of Harison Brown on sections 18 and 19, alluded to above, Benjamin F. having previously sold his claim to Harrison. The latter then made a claim on section 1, Suez township, where he still resides. March, 1838, Benjamin F. made a claim on sections 6 and 7, where he resides yet. In the spring of 1839 Allen S. and Benjamin Brown made claims in the southeast part of this township, the former on section 25, and the latter on section 35. They were followed that fall by David Bruner and Andrew J. Hohnes, who also located in the southeastern part of the township.
The first schools taught in this township were by John Wilshier, the first term in the house of William McGreenwood, and the second in the cabin of Young C. Mann, both on section 6. Afterward Robert Shaw taught a term of school in this same neighborhood, for which he was to receive $S per month, and take his pay in wheat. The early records of the schools of this township after organization are not attain- able. As early as 1839 there was preaching in the cabin of Benjamin F. Brown, on section 7, by the Rev. Mr. Fuller, of Galesburg, a Uni- versalist minister. Mr. F. is still living in Galesburg.
The township was called Liberty when first organized in 1854, but was changed to its present name on or before the annual town meet- ing in 1855. The first officers elected in this township in 1854 were Notley Scott, supervisor ; Joshua Bruner, town clerk ; John W. Miles, assessor ; James M. Holines, collector ; R. R. Mathers, Eli Tangham and Nathan Bailey, commissioners of highways ; Timothy Meeker, overseer of poor ; Andrew J. Holmes and William F. Garret, justices of the peace ; and James M. Holmes, constable. Total number of votes cast at that time, twenty-four.

On the farm of G. W. Higgins in section 14 is the only artesian well in this county. Mr. Higgins began this well in 1874, but it was not completed until 1876. The first company failed with its drill fast in a strata of magnetic rock, so the second company employed had to begin at the surface. The well attained a depth of 1,209 feet. The last surface water was passed at a depth of 127 feet. At 915 feet water was struck that rises to within eighty feet of the surface, and an inexhanstible supply. A ten-horse-power engine, running to its full capacity four hours, throwing a four-inch stream, failed to perceptibly lower the water line in the well. The water is soft and contains a

Besides the Mann cemetery mentioned above, there was a cemetery laid out in 1860 in the N. E. } of Sec. 35, called Mount Vernon ceme- tery, which has been quite extensively patronized since that time by the people of the southeast corner of the county.
In introducing the history of some of the pioneers of this town- ship it is fitting that Govert S. Fleharty should be the first one men- tioned, as lie was its first white inhabitant .. This cannot be better done than by quoting from the pen of one who knew the family well, and wrote of its history as follows :
THE FLEHARTY FAMILY.
Among others who came to Mercer county in those far off and romantic days, ere the Indian war-whoop had died away from the prairies of northern Illinois, were the four brothers, Stephen W., Gov- ert S., Bennett E., and Henry Fleharty, and their respective families. They were accompanied by their aged father and mother, William and
803
NORTH HENDERSON TOWNSHIP.
Margaret (Withgot) Fleharty, who were natives of Maryland, and dur- ing the early years of their married life had a delightful home on the far-famed Eastern Shore, near Coptauk river. Grandfather Fleharty, as he was called in later years, was, in his younger days, a slaveholder, and although not imbued with anti-slavery sentiments to any great extent, he removed with his family to Ohio in 1810, mainly for the purpose of escaping from the demoralizing influences of slavery. The four brothers above-named were typical western pioneers; athletic, courageous, and possessed of great physical endurance. They located in Mercer county, at different periods between the years 1833 and 1835. This portion of the state was then a primitive paradise. Many hard- ships were to be endured by the early settlers, but there was grand inspiration in their surroundings. Not far away was the great father of waters, with shores bordered with dark, dense forests. Here and there were lovely groves, which in the summer season appeared like islands in an emerald sea. Nimble footed deer frequented the woods and streams or bounded over the prairies in herds. scarcely realizing the presence of the few and scattered pioneers. The prairies were nature's own flower gardens. There the wild bees gathered their win- ter stores and thence they were followed by the wary bee hunters to the knarled oaks which contained their hoarded wealth. Looking across the years that have intervened since those days, and realizing the value of the work that was accomplished by all of the pioneer settlers of Illinois, it seems fitting that for those who have gone to their long home, pioneers now in the land beyond the river, there should be a memorial decoration day, and that their graves should be annually strewn with fairest flowers. Illinois had a grand army of these pioneer settlers, grand in character if not in numbers. In this army the brothers above-named held an honorable rank. It is related of Henry, the younger of the four, that in the sports of muster day, as the militia meetings for drill were styled, he was only equaled in feats of strength and agility by one person, Mr. Notley Scott, who was one of the most athletic men in that part of the state. Henry Fleharty died before he had reached the prime of manhood.
Stephen W. Fleharty, the elder of the four brothers, was born in the state of Maryland on the 28th day of December, 1799. He removed with the family to Ohio in 1810, and to Springfield, Illinois, in 1825. He was married three times during his life of eighty-two years. A daughter, Margaret, by his first wife, married Mr. James T. Jones and now resides at Mount Hecla, Texas. Her mother died while yet very young. Mr. Fleharty's second wife, Amelia W., was the daughter of Rev. John Kirkpatrick, one of the pioneer Methodist ministers of

Illinois. The union proved to be a happy one and they raised a large family of children. The family settled in Mercer county in 1834, on a handsome tract of land, composed of timber and prairie, one and a half miles east of what was then known as "Bridger's Corners," now Suez. Mr. Fleharty was a cabinet-maker by trade and was a thorough workman. Articles of furniture made by him are still in use among some of the older families of Mercer county. When not employed on the farm he worked industriously at his trade, and in this way finally secured a comfortable home. He was a strong man intellectually, a great reader; a whig in politics, then a republican, and always a patriot. The partner of his joys and sorrows during those early years, Mrs. Amelia W. Fleharty, was a true christian woman, and her life, so gentle and affectionate in the midst of many trials, illustrated the most winning graces of christianity. She was the mother of ten chil- dren, including two pairs of twins. Only four of the ten are now liv- ing. George Washington and Marquis Lafayette (twins), Amelia, Sarah E., and Fletcher A. all died young. Mrs. Flcharty passed away to the land of the blessed in the year 1865. Mr. Fleharty married a third time, and a son was born to him when he was nearly seventy years old. He died on April 10, 1882, in his eighty-third year. The following is an extract from a notice of his death that was published in the Galesburg "Republican Register": "A good man, whose life reaches back into the last century and forward so late in the present century ; a man whom every one calls honest and honorable ; having a record of eighty-three years unstained and unchallenged, is one of the choicest treasures of a commonwealth. Such was Stephen W. Fleharty, as every one who knew and respected him will allow." His widow, Mrs. Julia B. Fleharty, and her son Eddie are living near Galesburg.
