HISTORY OF TAZEWELL COUNTY.
Jacob H., (son of John W. Judy,) who was then a child of four years of age, has lived in the township ever since, and he is, there- fore, the oldest settler in the community. In the following year William Burt and the Hainlines settled near by, and about the same time two families by the names of Perry and Williamson. In 1828, William Hieronymus settled on the east fork of Sugar creek, where two of his sons still live. Other early settlers in Hittle were: Jacob Albright, 1829; Joseph Richmond, 1830; Martin G. Stafford, 1830; Thos. Burt, 1833; - Quisenbury, 1835. After this, settlements became quite numerous, and the pioneers were happy and prosperous as the times went. At first the people were compelled to go to Springfield to mill and for mail, and later to Mackinaw. In the winter of '31, the time of the big snow, Jos. Richmond was frozen to death. It seems a daughter of his was to be married and himself and one of his neighbors set out for Mack- inaw on snow shoes, to get some necessary articles. On the return, the snow was soft and walking very difficult. When only three miles from home, night came on, the weather became very cold, and Mr. Richmond gave completely out. Covering him up, his friend went for assistance. They continued the search till after one o'clock, but without avail. Next day the body was found frozen stiff, with part of the clothing removed.
About the year 1841, a store was opened by two Eastern men, whose names were Armington & Hazleton, and Armington post- office took its name from the former.
The people of Hittle are largely the descendants of the old settlers, and are intelligent and well-to-do. At one time every voter, with one exception, voted the Whig ticket; and now the place is Republican in sentiment. After giving sketches of its churches, we will speak of some of the representative citizens at greater length, for we believe the history of any community is made up largely of the history of the. live, enterprising men of that com- munity.
Christian .- Hittle Grove Christian Church was organized at the house of John W. Judy, about the year 1828. The Judys, Hittles, Hainlines and Burts were among the early members. At first old Elder Rhoade, of Blooming Grove, preached once a month, at John Judy's, where also a dinner was served to the congregation. The society has had two houses of worship-the last one was built fifteen or sixteen years ago. The membership is not far from 200 -70 of whom have been recently added.

Hieronymus Grove Church. This church was built entirely by Enoch Hieronymus, in 1869. Mr. H. thought, in view of the fact that they were so far from any church, many persons in the neigh- borhood might be induced to enter the house of worship who would not otherwise go, accordingly he bore the entire expense of putting up the building. Services have been held regularly from the be- ginning.
M. E. Church .- A society was organized at Hittle Grove 35 or 40 years ago, and among the early members John Burwell, Isaae Carr, Philo Baldwin, with their families, may be mentioned. About twenty years ago, Joseph Kelly, Foster Griffin and A. E. Forbes organized a separate society at Armington, and the old church thereupon divided, part going to Armington and part going to Boynton, according to convenience. The present church building was erected in 1862; eost about $2,600. Membership over 50.
John F. Albright, farmer, Armington, was born in Lincoln county, Tenn., in 1825. His father, Jacob Albright, came to Hittle in 1829. He was married in Tenn., to Esther Touchstone. His grandfather was from South Carolina, and his grandmother from North Carolina, where his father was born. When the latter came to this State he settled on land bought of George Hittle. He had a family of 8 children-6 boys and 2 girls. He lived until May 12, =868, when he died at the age of 72. His wife died in 1855, at the age of about 65 years. John Albright was married June 15, 1848, to Louisa, daughter of John Judy. She was born Jan. 10, 1830. They have seven children, five of whom are now living - Emma, Jerome, Harriet J., Rosa, Alice, Martha and Clara. Mr. Albright now lives on part of the place his father owned, and two brothers live in the same neighborhood. Member of the Christian Church and a Republican.
Michael Albright, farmer, Armington, was born Dee. 19, 1820, in Lincoln county, Tenn., (see John F. Albright). He was married June 4, 1843, to Mary Ann Malick, daughter of George Maliek, one of the earliest settlers of Mackinaw. She was born Dec. 12, 1820. They have six children- Ann, Homer, Alice, Charles, George and Florence. Mr. Albright is a substantial farmer, a man well informed on all topics of general interest, and one with con- vietions of his own. He is a Republican.
Charles D. Allen, Armington, was born Sept. 30, 1811, in Tioga county, N. Y. His father's name was Daniel, and his mother's Anna (Dodd), who were natives of New York. In 1837 Mr. Allen left Ohio, where his parents had lived sinee he was twelve years of age, and settled in Hittle. His parents also came West, and settled just over the line in MeLean county. His father died in February, 1848, aged 83 years. He was married Nov. 8, 1839, to Nancy,

daughter of Henry Hainline, one of the first settlers of Hittle. The descendants of Mr. Hainline are very numerous in Hittle township, there being five sons and one daughter, with numerous grandchil- dren. Mr. Allen's wife died in June, 1847; he was married to Hannah, the sister of his former wife, Feb. 14, 1850. She was born Feb. 1, 1826, in Boone county, Ky. Mr. A. has five children, two of them by his first wife. Their names are : Henry, Jessie, John, Massie and Silvia. He is a member of the Christian Church, and Republican in politics.
Jas. W. Burt, farmer, P. O., Armington, is a son of William Burt, one of the earliest settlers of Hittle. He was born May 15, 1844, and was married to Miss Emma Tenney, of Atlanta, Feb. 28, 1867. They have two children. Mrs. B. is a daughter of Dr. Tenney, and was born Feb. 20, 1850. Wm. Burt was born Dec. 10, 1800, in Scott county, Ky., and in the fall of 1827 settled in Hittle, on sec- tion 29, where he still lives. When Mr. Burt first came to Hittle he found a rude little cabin already built. This he fixed up, and began life in the new country, happy in the possession of a home. Not long after a man came along and claimed the premises, and to avoid any trouble or unpleasantness a settlement was made by pay- ing the party $9.00 In 1829, about Christmas time, and when it was very cold, Mr. Burt's house was destroyed by fire, together with all its contents except a little bedding. The neighbors assembled and by the following Saturday Mr. Burt's family found themselves once more in a comfortable home. While none of the neighbors were overburdened with clothing and furniture, they all contributed a little to assist their afflicted friends. About 1835 he built another house, made entirely of hewn logs with a board floor, and it was considered the finest house anywhere in the neighborhood. He was a great hunter in his time, and hundreds of deer, wolves and fowl, fell before his gun and club. He was married in June, 1825, to China Hainline, in Kentucky, and has had eight children, two of whom died when young, and the others are still living. Their names are- Elizabeth (wife of Allen Quisenberry) Sally (wife of William Britt) Louisa (who married Andrew Bowles) John H., Polly (wife of Arthur Quisenberry, of Lincoln) and James W. Mr. Burt's wife died in 1873, aged 63 years.
Enoch Hieronymus. One of the oldest, as well as one of the most respected families of Tazewell county, is the Hieronymus family, of which our subject is the oldest living member. William Hierony- mus, his father, was born Feb. 13, 1788, in Virginia. His parents were of English and Dutch descent. In 1811, Aug. 14, he married Alvira Darnell. He engaged in boat building for a while. In 1818 he went to Missouri and settled on the Missouri river. The place is now washed away and forms the channel of the stream. After three years he returned to Kentucky, and finally settled at Big Bone Lick. This lick is a deep lake of mud and water, the water being very shallow. The mud has apparently no bottom. 30

HISTORY OF TAZEWELL COUNTY.
The animals, which in former years went there to drink, sank down and died. Their bones are so numerous that the place is called the Big Bone Lick. The bones of many curious animals have been found there; and particularly were the bones of the large mammouth, which was placed in Barnum's museum. Enoch Hieronymus has seen a bone from this lake, large enough for nine men to sit on at once. In 1828, Mr. H. came to Illinois. His family moved with several others. The oldest man in the company was George Henline. They camped the last night of their journey in Blooming Grove. The next day they came to Hittle's Grove. Mr. H. went from there, in October, 1828, to Hieronymus' Grove, which was named in his honor. Enoch was born in Madison Co., Ky., March 7, 1816. He accompanied his father's family to this county, and has lived an active useful life since. During the winter of the big snow, they had to pound corn for food. He made snow shoes that winter out of boards ten inches square, which were lashed to his feet, and thereby could chase the deer. He married, Aug. 22, 1839, Elizabeth A. Thompson. Her parents came to the State in 1829. They have never had children of their own, but have raised the orphan children of James Heironymus, who died in 1848. His wife died a few months previous. Enoch and his wife took into their home one girl, two boys and one infant, the latter soon died. Another infant child, twin to the first, was raised by the sister of Mrs. H. The two boys and girl grew up and were happily married. Benjamin R. and Thomas H. both served in the late war, in Co. A, 117th Ill. Inf., and sketches of both may be found in this volume.
William Hieronymus, farmer; P. O., Minier, was born Oct. 17, 1826, (See Enoch Hieronymus.) He was but two years of age when his father moved to Hieronymus Grove, where he has lived all his life. He was married in December, 1849, to Lucinda Gard- ner, who is a native of Ohio. They have had eight children, seven of whom are now living; three are married and live in the neigh- borhood. Mr. H. has a fine farm of 650 acres, part of which is in McLean. In politics Mr. H. is a Republican; a member of the Christian Church.
Thomas H. Hieronymus, farmer; P. O., Armington, was born in Logan county, Dec. 18, 1845. His father's name was James, and his mother's Malinda C. (Thompson). His father was born in Kentucky, (See Enoch Hieronymus,) and his mother in Tennessee. They died not a great while apart, the latter in 1847, and the former in 1848. The children were young, and Thomas, and one brother and sister were raised by their Uncle Enoch. He enlisted in 1862, in the 117th Ill. Inf., and served three years.

492
HISTORY OF TAZEWELL COUNTY.
two of whom are now living. John W. lives on a farm near by ; and the daughter, China M., married W. F. Albright and now lives in Bloomington. The old settlers, living almost beyond the reach of newspapers, had queer ideas of the progress of the age. Mr. Q. tells this story of his father. When a telegraph line was built from Peoria to Springfield, the line passed through Delavan, and caused no little excitement among the inhabitants. But the old gentleman was skeptical, and one day said to his sons: "I tell you what, boys, that thing is all tomfoolery, depend upon it. Talk of people speaking together, 100 miles apart ! why, its rediculous. Its just some Yankee seheme to make money."
Ellis W. Roberts, farmer ; P. O., Armington ; was born in Lycom- ing county, Penn., April 4, 1829. His parents came West about 1838, and settled on the Little Mackinaw.

Judy, May 23, 1850; she was the daughter of Jacob Judy, and was born Oct. 1, 1831. Her father came to Hittle with the very first settlers, but he was then unmarried and did not settle permanently until a few years later. He now lives at Atlanta in good health. On the last of April, Mr. and Mrs. Judy celebrated their golden wedding. Mr. Roberts' family was in Missouri eleven years, and with that exception Mrs. Roberts has always lived on the same place where she was born. Mr. R. served nine months in the 21st Mo. Vol. Inf.

Hon. L. M. Stroud, farmer ; P. O., Armington ; was born Sept. 27, 1822, in Dixon county, Tenn., not far from the house of Gen. Jackson. His father, Thomas Stroud, emigrated from North Caro- lina to Tennessee in 1806, and married Miss Virginia Thompson, whose people came from Virginia. While Mr. Stroud was a Jack- sonian Democrat he did not believe in slavery, and he therefore left Tennessee and settled, in 1830, in what is now Logan county. He died March 7, 1858, at Atlanta, his wife having passed away the year before. Mr. L. M. Stroud did not enjoy very great educational advantages, but nevertheless he had that energy and shrewd com- mon sense which are bound to bring success. He has not far from 900 acres of land, and a fine store in Minier conducted by his son. He has represented his town in the Board of Supervisors, and was
493
HISTORY OF TAZEWELL COUNTY.
a Representative of the 27th District in the Legislature of 1873-74. He was married, April 7, 1847, to Miss Elva, daughter of Captain Adams, who fell in the Black Hawk war at the battle of Old Man's Creek, or, as it has since been called, Stillman's Run, after a terrible conflict with the Indians. Mrs. Stroud was born in Bedford county, Tenn., Jan. 9, 1826. They have a family of nine children, several of whom are married.
Elon F. Verry, merchant and grain dealer, Armington. He is a son of William A. Verry, and was born Nov. 23, 1852. He was educated in common schools and Eureka College.

In 1843 Mr. Verry came to this county and settled on section 22, Hittle, where he purchased forty acres of land. Almost every endowment necessary for success in business seems to have been bestowed upon Mr. Verry, and to-day 2800 acres of fine farming land and a large amount of other property, stand as a monument to the energy, industry, and good management which have always been characteristic of him. Mr. Verry was married, Oct. 20, 1842, to Sarah A. Farnsworth, and four children have been the fruits of this union. Their names are William E., George, Elon, and Fran- ces. In politics Mr. Verry is a Republican, and while not a mem- ber of any church, he always lends a helping hand to every good cause which comes under his notice.

HOPEDALE TOWNSHIP.
This township was named by Moses Meeker, who, at a meeting of the County Court, in 1850, christened it Hopedale. This name was unanimously adopted. When the late Mr. Orendorff laid off the village of Hopedale he called it Osceola. Upon application to the Postmaster General for a post-office. he found there was another Osceola in the State. The village was then changed to the name of the township. The township is largely woodland, quite hilly, and the Mackinaw river, Little Mackinaw and Indian creek run through it.
The first church building erected in the township was called Shiloh, and was named by Jno. E. Davis. It was built about the year 1839, principally by the Methodists and Presbyterians. The latter appear to have had the controlling interest. It was also used as a school-house for a number of years. It is now known as the Old Shiloh. There are three churches in the township, and three school- houses where divine services are held. The next church built was the Presbyterian Church. This was erected in the village about 1854. It burned down during the past winter. The Old Shiloh has not been used as a church for 22 years. The New Shiloh was built by the Methodists about 20 years ago. This church stood upon the ground of the old one, and it, too, is a church of the past. The M. E. Church of the village was erected in 1874 at a cost of $2,400. The first sermon was preached by Hiram Buck, in Septem- ber, 1874; Rev. S. F. Johnson was at that time pastor. Then
495
HISTORY OF TAZEWELL COUNTY.
came Revs. A. Bland, J. C. Keller, and finally the present pastor, Rev. W. C. Avery. The first baptismal ceremony occurred Aug. 19, 1877, when John Bright and twelve others were baptised, some by immersion. The first marriage ceremony in the edifice was cele- brated on the evening the church was dedicated-T. W. Harlan and Miss H. P. Coggins were the contracting parties.
The first settler in Hopedale was Aaron Orendorff, who settled here about 1827. D. W., son of Aaron Orendorff, was the first white child born in the township. The first Sunday-school was taught by Jas. MeDowell in the Old Shiloh Church.
The old town of Hopedale was laid off Nov. 1, 1853, by Thomas Orendorff. The new town was incorporated Feb. 22, 1869. The first Trustees elected and who attended the first meeting were, T. H. Orendorff, Wm. Neisen, J. R. Ogden and E. Barnum. Oren- dorff was elected president, Ogden secretary, and Barnum treasurer. Thomas Smith tells us that the first store opened in Hopedale was by D. W. Orendorff and Mr. Mortimer. Afterwards T. H. Oren- dorff formed a partnership with T. A. Smith and had the second store.
The first meeting for the organization of the township was held at the house of Mrs. Purviance, on the first Tuesday in April, 1850. Laban Hieks was called to the chair, and Charles W. Holden appointed secretary. James E. Davis was elected moderator for the day. A vote was taken and R. H. Holden was elected clerk for the day. Township officials were then elected. For Supervisor, Chas. W. Holden received 27 votes, which elected him by a majori- ty of 6. For Clerk, Richard H. Holden received 28 votes, which was a like majority. For Assessor, Wm. H. Briggs received a majority of 8; and for Collector, Andrew Kerr was elected by 10 majority. Wm. Milner is put upon the records as being elected as Clerk, which is incorrect. The Commissioners of Roads elected were : Nathaniel Bennett, Enoch T. Orendorff and G. W. Bryan, each of whom received 49 votes. Enoch T. Orendorff was elected Overseer of Poor; and the Justices of the Peace elected were Jesse Fisher and Geo. W. Bryan. John Bennett and John Davis were elected Constables.
In order to more fully detail the history of the town and town- ship we will speak personally of some of the leading and represen- tative citizens :
