ALLIS S. G. M. farmer and stock-rais- er, Secs. 26 and 27. The subject of this sketch, a prominent farmer in Morgan Co., was the second child by the second mar- riage of Abel Allis to Lucretia Mansfield; he was born in Georgia, Vt .; during his fifth year his father died, he was then, so to speak, thrown literally upon his own re- sources for five years, in which he served as an apprentice to a tanner and currier, and became journeyman workman. In his thirtieth year he married in New Hamp- shire, Miss Chapin ; in 1837 he moved to Illinois, coming by way of Terra Haute, Ind., to Springfield, Ill., thence to Morgan Co., and settled on the farm property he now owns, which he purchased for $7 per acre. Paying a large interest on the land, he was compelled to work early and late to make the farm products go toward the payment. During our late war he stood steadfastly by the Union when human life was an exceedingly cheap commodity. Mr. Allis was formerly the possessor of 400 acres of well improved land. He now owns 280. A man of prosperity, whose liberality is well known, he stands high, as does also his estimable wife, in the esti- mation of all who know them, for their many good qualities. The following chil- dren blessed this union : Mansfield, Caroline, Frederick W., Louisa and Anna. For many years Mr. and Mrs. Allis have been childless, but their kind hearts and disposition have been the cause of sharing their comfortable home with little ones who were left at a tender age to battle with the world. For a great many years Mr. Allis and wife have been members of the Episcopal church.

ARNETT JAMES W., J. P. office on
Pearl st; was born in Waverly, Morgan Co., Oct. 20, 1847 ; moved to Texas in the Fall of 1859, and returned to this State in the Fall of 1860; learned the harness-making trade with Mr. H. C. Wood, commencing in the year 1866; was married Feb. 14, 1870, to Miss Sarah E. Wood, daughter of Mr. Wheetly Wood, who was a native of England. Mrs. Arnett was born in Macou- pin Co., Ill., June 8, 1845 ; have three chil- dren, two daughters-Annie and Elizabeth, . and one son-Peter C .; removed to Texas in 1873, returning to this State again in 1874; as the result of a serious spell of sickness he became a cripple ; in 1875 he engaged in the harness business in the town of Waverly ; in 1876 he moved to Jacksonville, and in the following year re- turned to Waverly ; in Nov., 1877, he was elected to the office of justice of the peace, and immediately commenced the study of law; in April, 1878, he was elected city attorney. Mr. A. is a young man of fair education and endowed with considerable natural ability, and bids fair to become a good lawyer and a useful and influential citizen.
ARNETT MRS. MELINDA, rel- ict of P. C. Arnett, was born in Robinson Co., Tenn., March 30, 1823 ; a daughter of James and Fanny Deatherage ; they were natives of North Carolina; there married, and shortly after removed to Kentucky, where they settled down to a quiet farm life. In 1829 they made their way into the interior of Illinois, locating near the present farm residence of Mrs. Arnett. Here the head of the family entered land from the government, but shortly after re- moved to Missouri, but subsequently re- turned to Morgan Co., where they passed

the remainder of life. During his pioneer days he formed the acquaintance of Peter Cartwright and others, noted in the annals of this county. The marriage referred to above was blessed with five children : George W., Wm., Lucinda, Melinda, and Coleman. Melinda married P. C. Arnett in 1838, a Tennessean by birth, born in Overton Co. in 1820. In 1831 his parents moved to Morgan Co., Ill., where young Arnett afterward became prominent in the affairs of the county for thirty-two years. His health was quite poor, but even under affliction was noted for his energy and per- severance. For some years he was the owner and proprietor of a grist mill at Waverly, and also became the owner of an extensive brickyard. He died June 5, 1875. His wife, who had been his companion through youth and middle age, now resides on the old homestead, now a well-cultivat- ed tract of land, over which she was wont to roam and gather the wild flowers that grew in abundance everywhere. The marriage was blessed with six children- three living-Fanny, who married James Farrow ; James W., who married Sarah Woods; and George H., who married Mattie Branom. For thirty-five years the husband of Mrs. A. held the position of magistrate, and but two appeals were ever taken from his court.

ATTERBURY ALBERT H. farm-
er and stock raiser, Sec. 31, P.O. Franklin. Mr. A. was born in Monroe Co., Mo., Feb. 1846 ; his father, Ashford Atterbury, was born in South Carolina, and from there moved to Kentucky ; he there married Miss Sarah Miers ; they moved to Missouri in 1828, becoming among the earliest set- tlers of that State, where it would be no uncommon occurrence to go twenty-five miles to a blacksmith shop. The old folks passed the remainder of life in Missouri. This union was blessed with nine children, four of whom are living : John M., who
married Eliza Snidow, a native of Missouri; James F., who married first Miss Williams of Howard Co. Mo., and on her decease af- terward married Mrs. Burton ; D. F. mar- ried Miss Elizabeth McAllister of Morgan Co .; Albert H. grew to man's estate in Missouri, receiving the usual log-cabin ed- ucation. Ten years ago Mr. Atterbury became a resident of this county ; in 1872 he married Miss Jennie Smith, a daughter of Samuel Smith, a native of Morgan Co., ' and whose parents were among the first to set foot in old Morgan. Three children : Martha E., born July 15, 1872 ; Samuel A., born April 13, 1874; Ozias K., born June 13, 1876. Brothers of Mr. Atterbury not living : Francis M., died March 7, 1865; Robert P., died Jan. 19, 1864.
