his wife; Levi Cantrall and Fannie, his wife; Mrs. Adelphia Wood, Mrs. Sarah Cantrall, the wife of Wyatt Cantrall, Mrs. Lucy Scott (danghter of Mr. England,) afterwards Mrs. Cline. That was the first church organized in Sangamon county, and the organization has never been broken It is now known as Anti- och Christian Church, and composed at present of about ninety members. It is occupying its third house of worship, which is a handsome wooden edifice situated within the limits of Cantrall. Elder Stephen England was pastor of the church until his death, in 1823.

There are now in the township five church or- ganizations-one Christian, one Baptist, one Methodist Episcopal, one Southern Methodist Episcopal.

The Antioch Christian Church was organized May 15, 1820, a number of professed Christians meeting together and signing the following agreement:

"We, the members of the Church of Jesus Christ, being Providentially moved from our for- mer place of residence from distant parts, and being baptised on profession of our faith, and met at the house of brother Stephen England, on a branch of Higgins' creek, in order to form a constitution, having first given ourselves to the Lord, and then to one another, agree that our constitution shall be on the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, believing them to be the only rule of faith and practice."

The first house of worship was one of logs erected in 1823, shortly before the death of Stephen England, on land owned by Mr. Britton. This church was erected after the manner of the first school houses, the neighbors gathering and erecting it because of its neces- sity. This house was used for a few years, when a more pretentious frame building was erected, which was nsed for a number of years. In the fall of 1872, the present church edifice was erected in the village of Cantrall, at a cost of $1,600, but on which several hundred dollars were subsequently expended in its improvement.

Elder Stephen England was the first pastor of the church and served until his death, in 1823, since which time at intervals the following named have served: James Hughes, George Sargent, Ebenezer Rhodes, William Snodgrass, Rev. Trimble, John Powell, Rev. Balls, Sr., John Hughes, Rev. Walter Balls, Rev. Morrow, Rev. Sweet, Michael Engle, George.

David England was the first elder elected, and has served the church for nearly sixty years. Carlisle II. Canterberry served for many years, until his death. The present active eldership is composed of Henry H. England, Carlisle Mitts and John J. Stevens. The present membership is one hundred and eight.

BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH.

The church was organized November, 1826, as near as can be ascertained from the records. It goes to show the original members were Michael Mann, Elizabeth Mann, Nicholas Steele, Isabella Stelle, Samuel Howe, Mary Howe, Charles Allsbury, Jane Allsbury, Margaret Stevens and John Crowder. The first pastor is supposed to have been Michael Mann. The first ordained Deacon was Charles Allsbury, and the same year William Keener was also ordained by Elders Bowman and Roberts. The first asso- ciation held with this church was in the barn of John Dunlap. A house of worship thirty-two by twenty-six was erected in 1832, at a cost of $500. It was a frame building and erected at a time when everything was much cheaper than at present. The present officers of the church are as follows: Elder William J. Wheeler, Pastor; Henry Nave, Deacon; John R. Dunlap, Clerk. The meetings are held the fourth Saturday and Sunday in each month.

The Methodist Episcopal congregation, meet- ing at the Strode school house, has been in exis- tance about a half century. After John Strode settled in the neighborhood, his house was a preaching place where such men as Cartwright, B. Randall, J. G. Barger, and L. C. Kimber preached at different times. Since 1856, the fol- lowing named have served as pastors: W. F. Bennett, J. Taylor, Joseph Lane, A: C. McDou- gall, G. B. Wolfe, H. C. Wallace, Mr. Demotte, S. M. Crags, Peter Stigle, C. Arnold, G. D. Furber, G. B. Goldsmitt, W. S. Clark, M. McK. Gooding, A. B. McElfresh, M. Finity, W. R. Carr, J. M. Eckman, W. W. Curnutt. The more recent Presiding Elders have been, W. S. Prentice, W. H. Webster, W. McK. McElfresh, J. L. Crane, Peter Cartwright, Peter Akers and W. H. H. Moore. Regular meetings for preach- ing and for class purposes, are held in the Strode school house.

THE FIRST BIRTH.

The first birth in what is now Fancy Creek township, was that of Oliver Perry Higgins, who was born July -, 1819. He was the son of

William and Rosanna Higgins, and was the first birth north of the Sangamon river.

FIRST DEATH.

A young child of Jechoniah Langston died in the fall of 1819, being the first death in the township. It was buried near where Stephen England settled, and around its grave others were afterwards interred, and being near the resi- dence of Mr. Britton, it was given the name of Britton's Graveyard.

MILLS.

Levi Cantrall built a horse mill in the fall of 1820. It was a band mill, with a wheel forty feet in diameter. It was the first mill ever built north of the Sangamon river, and people came thirty miles or more to mill. Mr. Cantrall, sub- sequently built a water mill on Cantrall's creek, near the present town of Cantrall. It did sawing and grinding.

TRUE TO TIIEIR COUNTRY.

In the War of the Rebellion Fancy Creek township nobly did its duty without resorting to draft, or even levying a tax to pay a special bounty in order to secure enlistments.

TANNERY.

Levi Cantrall, shortly after coming to the county, established a tannery, which he ran for about forty years, until his death.

ORCHARDS.

One of the first, if not the first orchards planted in the township, was by George Power, shortly after his arrival. On his place there is now an apple tree about eleven feet in circum- ference which was planted in 1824. From limb to limb it is sixty feet. It is, doubtless, the larg- est and probably the oldest tree in the county.

ORGANIC.

Fancy Creek township was organized at the same time the county adopted the township or- ganization law, and its first election was held the first Monday in April 1861.

REMINISCENCE.

In 1870, David England, now the oldest citi- zen in Fancy Creek township, delivered an ad- dress at the Old Settlers' meeting, at Clear Lake, in which he expressed his gratitude that he had been able to attend the meeting, and to meet so many of his old acquaintances again. They had all met to talk over old and new times and things, and he would go further back than his own time. His father came to St. Louis at an early day and from thence to Edwardsville, where he wintered.

901

HISTORY OF SANGAMON COUNTY.

Not liking the country he came to what is now Sangamon county, after having received a glow- ing description from a man who had visited it. This was in 1818. His father came and ex- amined the country in the vicinity of Cantrall's creek, and was pleased with all he saw. When his father came through where Springfield now is, there were no signs of inhabitants, and no tracks except those of wild beasts. His father built a log house sixteen by eighteen feet, and then returned to Edwardsville for his family. Not being able to move them, he returned and put in a crop. His father's family afterwards came in July. His father plowed the first corn north of the Sangamon river. Indians were their only neighbors at this time. About 1819, several neighbors came in and took up land. When they first came to this country the price of salt was $6 per bushel, and pork $5 to $6 per hundred pounds, while shortly after this pork would not bring $1.50 per hundred, for really they had no market for their produce. They had an abund- ance of everything to eat, but were obliged to raise their own cotton and make their own cloth- ing. His father preached the first sermon on that side of the river, and a woman walked six miles and brought a child the entire distance. His father was a good gunner and they had plenty to eat. It was one of the best countries in the world until 1831. Previous to that time they raised plenty of cotton without cultivation -all they wanted-but after the deep snow, which all the old men remembered, there was a change in the climate, and it has not been the same since, as every old settler can testify. His father had to go to mill at a place about four miles this side of St. Louis, but soon after a man put up a mill near by, which was a "band mill" and driven by horse power. They ground their grain with their own horse.

In this connection he referred to the fact that his father had fixed np a cotton gin, which consisted of two rollers which were turned by hand. After the deep snow there was a great change and corn did not grow well, and it was the same with cotton; in fact, other crops did not grow as well as before that noted event. The first butter made in his father's family was made with a churn which was cut from a log, the bottom of the churn being nailed in. It was made from a buckeye log. The first wheat they sent in was in 1819, and they got one bushel per day for a day's work. He once worked, reaping, three days, and got three bushels of wheat in payment. In cultivating the ground they used the old-fashioned shovel plow, and the first year they got about half a 105-

crop, but the next year the yield was nearly sixty bushels per acre. At this time the flies would sometimes so trouble the horses and the oxen that the animals had to be driven to the timber, and sometimes a fire had to be kindled to drive the flies away. In those days when people wanted to get married they either had to go to Edwards- ville for a marriage license, or have their inten- tions posted in a public place ten days before the event.

VILLAGE OF CANTRALL.

The village of Cantrall is an outgrowth of the Springfield & Northwestern Railroad, and was laid out on its completion to that point, its plat being recorded under date of October, 1872. Joseph Cantrall, Oliver Canterbury, W. H. H. Holland, Thomas Glasscock, Thomas Claypool, B. F. Holland, John T. Canterbury, and James M. Sewell were the original proprietors, in whose names the plat was recorded. It embraced the whole of the northeast quarter of the southeast quarter, part of the west half of the north part of the southeast quarter of the southeast quar- ter, the south part of the southeast quarter of the northeast quarter, and the southeast part of the southwest quarter of the northeast quarter of section eight; also the southwest part of the northwest quarter, and part of the west half of the southwest quarter of section nine, township seventeen, range five.

The village is pleasantly situated, but its proximity to Springfield has tended to prevent its growth to any great extent. It has now two church edifices, a school house, four business houses, and a number of dwelling houses.

VILLAGE OF SHERMAN.

The extension of the Springfield & Alton, now the Chicago, Alton & St. Louis Railroad, from Springfield to Chicago, caused a number of villages to spring into existance, among the number being that of Sherman, so named in honor of Mr. Sherman, of Sangamon county. The village was platted in September, 1858, and comprised the north part of the east half of the southeast quarter of section twenty-five, town- ship seventeen, range five.

The history of Fancy Creek township is con- tinued by short biographical mention of a large number of the best known residents, including their ancestors, many of whom have passed away.

They moved to Sangamon county, Illinois, arriv- ing in August, 1819, in what is now Fancy Creek township, preceding his brother William two years. Mrs. Council carried a sack of wheat on the horse she rode besides many house- hold implements. Mr. Council carried all he could in the way of tools and other articles necessary to farming. He commenced improve- ments by building a camp or rough cabin. He was unable to obtain a plow, but being anxious to raise some wheat for a beginning, he took a grubbing hoe or old fashioned mattock, and dug up about one acre and a half near the junction between the prairie and timber, and on the ground thus prepared sowed the wheat brought by his wife, and raised a good crop. When the land was surveyed and brought into market there was a line between his cabin and where he raised his crop of wheat. He could only enter one piece, and he chose that with the house on it. The land where the wheat grew was entered by another person who never cultivated it, but allowed a growth of young cottonwood trees to start on it, which has made quite a grove that can be seen for several miles, many of the trees are more than two feet in diameter. Mr. Coun- cil came in company with Robert McClelland and they cut an ample supply of grass and stacked it for their horses and cattle. They knew nothing of the prairie fires, and before they were aware of the importance of protecting it, their hay was all burned. They kept their stock alive by cutting down elm trees so they could eat the buds. Mr. and Mrs. Council had seven children, two of which died in infancy. The living are as follows: John H., Wesley, William F., Robert and George. Robert died September, 1881.
