Smith John, farm hand, Sec. 27, P.O. Franklin SMITH D. G. physician, Franklin SMITH HARVEY (deceased). One of the original pioneers of Morgan Co., · was born in Kentucky, of which State his father was a native, and by occupation a farmer ; many interesting reminiscences are not now remembered in reference to the early pioneers by the surviving relatives. On the old homestead he remained many years of his life ; there he formed a matri- monial alliance with Miss Martha Moore, who was born in Kentucky. Shortly after this epoch in his life he settled in Illinois,

locating on farm property now comprised in T. 14, R. Io, he purchased land, and shortly afterward a rude log structure loomed up in the then sparsely settled prairie, this was anterior to the memorable year of the " deep snow," during that winter that will always live in the memory of the older in- habitants, departed this life ; an account of his death is fully recorded in the historical portion of this volume, and need not be repeated here. He left to the care of his wife two children, Granderson, and William T., Granderson is now a resident of Mor- gan Co., and owns 100 acres of choice land. In 185I was united in marriage to Miss Mellissa Masters. Four children now bless the declining years of their worthy parents, all of whom are living: Martha, Mary E., Phoebe A., and Charles H.

little while, then became a resident of Pennsylvania, and remained there two years; from this point he went to St. Louis, and eventually he brought up in Morgan Co., Ill .; first worked by the month ; five years from this date he mar- ried Miss Ellen Shay, daughter of Daniel Shay.

By those intimately acquainted with him, he is described as a man of sterling integrity and the possessor of great force of character, and rose rapidly in his calling. The estate became divided up among nine children, and to his wife who survived him twenty-three years, who departed this life but a short time ago. William, who heads this sketch, became the possessor of eighty acres and considerable money ; in his twenty-fifth year he married Miss Emma M. Marshall, daughter of Michael and Mary C.

Wood Iven, farmer and stock raiser, Secs. IO and II, P. O. Jacksonville

WOOD SAMUEL JUDGE, farmer and stock raiser, Sec. 16, P.O. Pisgah; he was the oldest son of a family of nine children; he was born in Madison County, Kentucky, October 16, 1813; his parents moved from Virginia to Kentucky as early as 1810; the trip was made overland; the household goods were packed on horses; after some weeks of travel the little party reached the Blue Grass State, locating near Richmond; there they purchased land, and set about the hard task of clearing timber; they built a log cabin; the floors were made of split puncheon, the chimneys were made of sticks and mud; the prospect was gloomy indeed; but Richard Wood seems to have been the right man in the right place; among the many hardy pioneers perhaps none could be found who worked harder than he, to procure the necessaries of life; in 1826, they set out for Illinois; they first settled in Madison County, on Silver Creek; here the family were attacked by bilious fever, which resulted in the death of the wife, who had shared with him innumer- able hardships, and three children, Eliza- beth, Martha, and Richard; the first school Samuel attended was taught by Rice Duncan; the school house was a log structure, where no floor was laid down, and no window panes interfered, but the ventilation was abundant; here the scholars were instructed in Webster's spelling book and the New Testament; when these were thoroughly understood their education was completed; before the deep snow set in, Samuel had taken his last look at Webster, and now the hard work of the farm com-

menced; in his thirteenth year his parents moved to Morgan County; at the early age of nineteen he married Mrs. Martha Smith, relict of Harvey Smith, who per- ished during the winter of the deep snow; the occurrence is vividly impressed on the memory of many old settlers still living; at this time he did not have a capital of $100, and moved into a rough cabin where the door swung to and fro on wooden hinges, the bed was a one- legged affair, and the table manufactured of puncheons ; for eight years the young couple lived happily together in this rough backwoods style, and then built a more elegant affair of hewn logs ; both buildings have long since gone to decay, but -they stood in the vicinity of where now stands Judge Wood's large and handsome resi- dence ; amid the surroundings of pioneer life, young Wood grew up with a vigorous constitution ; how he became so successful in after years may be summed up in a few words-if he had anything to do he wasted no time, but attended to it ; he did not believe in sending a boy to mill when he could go himself; from the little log cabin and the little patch of ground con- taining but a few acres, the pioneer boy of forty years ago, has got together over 3,000 acres in one of the most fertile counties in Illinois ; during the Mormon war of 1848, he was elected captain by the soldiers, and commissioned by Gov. Ford; for four years he was County Judge ; in 1874 he was elected to legislature, 29th General Assem- bly; he served in this capacity but one year, as there was but one session ; Judge Wood is an extensive cattle buyer ; he han- dles on an average of 800 head of cattle ; his facilities for grazing are unsurpassed. Although wealth and prosperity attended the efforts of Mr. Wood, his liberality and kindness of heart are well known ; no man to-day, perhaps, stands higher in the esti- mation of the people of Morgan Co. than the gentleman whose name heads this . sketch

His father was a na- tive of Virginia ; Rebecca, his wife, was born in Kentucky ; as early as 1822 they moved from Missouri to Morgan Co., Ill., and settled near what is now the city of Jacksonville, on farm property; on this farm the subject of this sketch was born in 1825, and here passed the days of his boy- hood and early youth ; at the age of twenty he entered the Mexican service, in 1846, raising Co. G, Ist Ill. Vol., and was unani- mously elected captain, under the command of Colonel J. J. Hardin ; as an officer, Cap- tain Wyatt was universally respected by the soldiers ; mustered into the service June

17, 1846, and went to the front shortly afterward, and became a participant in the famous battle of Buena Vista ; here it will be remembered the brave and talented offi- cer, Colonel Hardin, was killed in the heat of action. Capt. Wyatt, who was an inti- mate friend, in company with his orderly sergeant and others, brought in the lifeless remains from the field ; the body first found a resting place in Mexican soil ; it was sub- sequently interred in the East cemetery at Jacksonville, Ill. Capt. Wyatt was honor- ably discharged in 1847, at Camargo, Mex- ico, and returned to Morgan Co. The following year married Mrs. Eliza A. Wil- liams, of Manchester, Scott Co., Ill .; three children : Mary A., born Nov. 2, 1849 ; James, born Nov. 17, 1851, deceased ; and George H., born 1854. When the rebel- lion came on Mr. Wyatt was commissioned Lieut. Colonel of the IOIst Regiment Ill. Vol., by Gov. Yates; he was the choice of the boys in blue ; for ten months he remained in the service of Uncle Sam, and on account of physical disability, was honorably dis- charged at St. Louis, Mo., May 9, 1863, and returned to Morgan Co. At this writing he resides in Franklin ; he takes a leading position in farming and stock raising ; his judgment as a stock raiser and buyer is unparalleled ; he also figures con- spicuously as a politician, whose name has been frequently mentioned in connection with responsible offices, but he has invaria- bly declined

ANTHONY MARTIN L. Woodson, minister of "Christ's Church," son of Christopher and Anne J. Anthony, of Ken- tucky; descendants of German ancestry, having emigrated here during our struggle with the mother country. Martin Anthony was born in Morgan Co., May 14, 1851 ; at the age of seven years, commenced his education at the log school house, under the care of Miss Mary Rucker; in his six- teenth year, gave up the abode of learning to engage his time on the farm ; since that time, has, by close application, acquired a thorough knowledge of the writings of the fathers, and is a practical, self-made schol- ar. In 1868, moved to Macoupin County, and engaged in farming ; at the early age of seventeen, united with the Baptist Church ; in his twentieth year, was called to the ministry ; his first sermon was de- livered at Roodhouse ; after preaching in Macoupin Co. four years, moved to Pike Co .; this was about 1872; thence to Scott Co., and there held a protracted meeting at Big Spring church, which resulted in the addition to the fold of forty-five members. It was during his preaching here that the " brethren " detected that Mr. Anthony's doctrinal enunciations pointed to Camp- belliteism ; a dispute ensued, and the next Sabbath, by agreement, he delivered his opinions, taking his text as follows: "I endure all things for the elect sake, that they may also obtain salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory." 2 Tim., ii, 10. This discourse brought on the cri- sis, hence Mr. Anthony withdrew from the Baptist Church, and at once identified himself with the Christian Church, was

elected elder in 1877, and has since devoted his life and energies to the spread of gos- pel truths. His membership with "Christ's Church," commenced while he was a resi- dent of Glasgow, Scott Co. In January, 1877, by invitation of the church at Wood- son, held a protracted meeting; his lucid enunciation of the Scripture so pleased the church, that he was solicited to preach for them, and in March, 1877, moved his fam- ily and located here, and now his field of labor embraces Scottville, Apple Creek, and Waverly ; was married April 5, 1874, to Miss Emma Frances Summers, daughter of Green and Elsie Summers, by the Rev. Isom Roberts of the Baptist Church. The fruits of this union are : Augusta Alice, born April 20, 1875 ; Lillie Anne, born Dec. 26, 1877. Mrs. Anthony was born Aug. 5, 1854. Mr. Anthony owns a good property, is a genial and courteous gentle- man, a kind husband and father, and be- loved by all
