HEROES AND DISTINGUISHED PEOPLE.

Every community, however small, has its representative heroes. Sometimes they are heroes of war, and sometimes they are the no less heroes of peace. Vermilion County has these, and the list is much longer than limited space will permit of naming. This is the reason that in compiling this list, local celebrities have been passed and only those whose influence was away from, as well as at, home, have been mentioned.
This list of distinguished people is, as a matter of course, headed by the name of Speaker Cannon. Danville and Vermilion County are both better known as being the home of Speaker Cannon, than in any other way. Mr. Cal- houn is a conspicuous figure in the world of affairs, and his citizenship, although more remote, is none the less valid. Judge Wilkin was a citizen of whom any community would be proud even though he had not won the distinction he did. Vermilion County has not been without people distinguished in the world of letters, and the writings of Mary Hubbwell Catherwood has made her home place distinguished. Mr. Hiram Beckwith was a recognized historian of merit. The state of Illinois loves to do him honor. Gurdon Hubbard is a representa- tive of the past whose efforts should not be forgotten. Samuel McRoberts is one of the forgotten statesmen of that period of national life which tried men's souls. He represents Illinois as United States Senator. 'Aside from the field of politics and letters, there have been other walks in life where Vermilion County men have distinguished themselves. Rev. James Ashmore, the evangel- ist and missionary, did a work which distinguished him. Vicar General O'Reilly is another name which comes in the list from Vermilion County. The hero whom the people of Vermilion County most love, is Col. Harmon, the popular citizen who left his adopted home to lead a regiment in battle where he lost his own life. This was many years ago, yet his memory is fresh and the people are true in their devotion to him. Gen. John C. Black, has had all the honor possible given him to attest the estimation in which he is held by his fellow

citizens. Michael Kelley, the captain of industry, was a conspicuous figure in the community for years. Judge Davis was a man who reflected honor on his home, and was held in highest respect not only in his own community but in the state.
Vermilion County is preeminently an agricultural section. As such the ignoring of a prominent man in that line would be inexcusable. Harvey Sow- dowsky made the agricultural interest what they are by his work in cattle breeding. Other men and women have been conspicuous in the affairs of the county but hardly to the extent as the above named.
Oscar Fitzallen Harmon who was born in Rochester, N. Y., on May 31, 1827, was the second of six sons of Ira and Corinna (Brown) Harmon. His mother was the lineal descendent of Steven Hopkins of the Mayflower. The great-great-grandfather, Tristrane Brown, was, in the early days of the country a landed slave holder in southeastern New York. The grandfather of Oscar Fitzallen Harmon, Solomon Brown, was a "minute man" in the war of the Revo- lution. He was afterward a baptist minister in Western New York. His father's first ancestor to arrive in this country was John Harmon of Norfolk County, Eng., who landed at Plymouth Rock in 1643. He lived in Springfield, Mass., from 1644 until his death in 1661. Two of John Harmon's descendents, Samuel and Joseph settled in Suffield County in 1670. The branch of the family from which Oscar Harmon sprang, lived in western Massachusetts through the 18th Century, and his grandfather Rawson Harmon removed to Monroe County, New York in about 1818. He preempted government land and settled himself and six sons in the wonderful Genesee valley. Oscar F. Harmon, having been reared by parents who were of the Baptist denomination, professed his faith in Christ and united with that church, at the age of seventeen years. About this time he wrote in his diary (one leaf of which only is to be had) of his deep de- sire for a good education and his wish to enter college. This privilege, however, was given only to the oldest son of the family who enjoyed a course at Yale and afterwards having married, at Brown. Beside the school near his home Oscar F. Harmon attended school at Limi, N. Y., also the Bancroft school called Round Top at Northampton, Massachusetts. His decision about this time to be- come a lawyer sent him to the then celebrated law school at Ballstron, Spa., N. Y., where he studied for a year and a half. He then entered the law office in Rochester of Judge Griffin and Judge Darwin E. Smith and read law with them for another year and a half and on December 3rd, 1850, was examined before the Supreme Court of the state at Albany and granted a certificate of admission to practice as attorney and counsellor at law. He taught school for a time near his home. Deciding to go west he visited Detroit and remaining in La Fayette for several weeks, he located permanently in Danville in 1853. In 1854 he was admitted to the Illinois Bar and in 1860 to the U. S. Circuit Court for the Southern District of Illinois. He then formed a law partnership with Oliver L. Davis, which continued until the latter was appointed Judge. Mr. Harmon was a representative from the 37th Senatorial District in the 21st General Assembly

for 1858-'60. When the 125th Regiment, Illinois Infantry, was formed, Oscar F. Harmon was made the Colonel. He led his men with unfaltering courage into all danger and at the battle of Kenesaw mountain, met his death from a bullet of the enemy. Never was there a more brave soldier, nor commander whom his men loved better. His death cast a gloom over Vermilion County and his name is reverenced with honor.
CHAPTER XLV.
TOWNSHIPS OF VERMILION COUNTY.
FIRST DIVISION OF THE COUNTY-PRECINCTS UNDER COMMISSIONERS' SYSTEM- TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION-CHANGES IN BOUNDARIES-DANVILLE TOWNSHIP- GEORGETOWN TOWNSHIP-ELWOOD TOWNSHIP-CARROLL TOWNSHIP-VANCE TOWNSHIP-MIDDLEFORK TOWNSHIP-PILOT TOWNSHIP-ROSS TOWNSHIP- NEWELL TOWNSHIP-BLOUNT TOWNSHIP-CATLIN TOWNSHIP-GRANT TOWN- SHIP-BUTLER TOWNSHIP-OAKWOOD TOWNSHIP-SIDELL TOWNSHIP-JA- MAICA TOWNSHIP-LOVE TOWNSHIP.
At the second meeting of the Commissioners' court Vermilion County was di- vided into two sections. The reason for this division is not at this time apparent. There may have been some political advantage in this division, or it may have been but for convenience of some other kind. This was in 1826, and township organization was not effected until twenty-five years later.
This division was determined by the center of town 18.
All of Vermilion County south of this line was in Carroll township and all north of it was called Ripley township. This, of course, did not include the at- tached territory north of Vermilion county. No record gives the reason for either the division nor for the names given to these sections. It was in 1850 that town- ship organization was adopted in Vermilion County.
At a meeting of the board of supervisors in 1851, the eight members present were from the eight precincts, as organized under the commissioners' system. These precincts were named as follows: Danville, Georgetown, Elwood, Carroll, Union, Vernon, Middlefork, and Northfork.
At a special meeting of the board of supervisors, November 10, 1851, these precincts were recorded as townships and named as follows: Danville, George- town, Elwood, Carroll, Vance, Pilot, Middlefork, Ross and Newell.
Since the first meeting of the board of supervisors was held in the preceding June, the division of the original precincts and renaming of the townships must have been made at the time of this first meeting. Those present at the first meet- ing of the board of supervisors, were the following: John Canaday, William Davis, William Spicer, L. T. Catlett, Samuel Partlow, J. A. D. Sconce, Asa Dun- can, John Hoobler and Michael Oakwood.
The townships remained the same number until five years later when Blount township was formed from Newell on the east and Pilot on the west. This di-
392

HISTORY OF VERMILION COUNTY
vision was made because of the presence of the two streams, the North Fork and the Middle Fork, which made barriers between the neighbors and handicapped the transaction of official business. In 1858 a new township was laid off from Dan- ville, Vance, Carroll and Georgetown, and named Catlin. This name was chosen because of the village of that name. Grant township was taken from Ross in 1862. Butler township was organized from the extent of territory in the northwestern part of the county. This was in 1864. Sidell township was organized from a por- tion of Carroll township in 1867. It was named for John Sidell. Jamaica town- ship was organized in 1890 from parts of Carroll, Sidell and Vance. Love town- ship was organized from Elwood, in 1902. The census of 1910 gives Vermilion County 177,966 population.
DANVILLE TOWNSHIP.
Danville township remains the same territory that it was in the first formation of townships. As the territory containing the county seat this township has been pretty well considered in former pages. The story of Danville township is very nearly the story of Danville itself. This was true of the first half century at least, although other towns have sprung up since and now Danville township means more than Danville and the farms surrounding it. The population of Dan- ville township outside of the city is 8,362.
The original plan of the present city of Danville included Main street from per- haps about Franklin, on the west to Hazel on the east and from the river on the south to north of North street on the north. Within the memory of some of the sons and daughters of Vermilion county the lots north and west of where the Pres- byterian church is located was a vast cornfield. The old log building which was known as the Gilbert tavern with its old sign, according to the custom of the times, hanging from a tree near by, gave place to the more pretentious Pennsylvania House, and its rival the McCormack House, to in due course of time make way for the modern hotel. So it is the old buildings have all made way for the new ones with the single exception of the first Presbyterian church building and the par- sonage where Father Kingsbury lived during his service to that church, these two buildings yet standing on South Walnut street. The historic corners of the public plaza are now covered with modern buildings. The court house, rapidly becoming in itself of little merit other than historic, covers the place where the former court house stood. The old Hubbard building gave place to the Danville office building known as the Daniel block some years ago; the old Shorts Bank corner has had a modern building on its site for several years while the First National Bank building yet makes a good showing. The Palmer National Bank has but this sum- mer built a new and handsome building on the southeast corner of the plaza where they have been established for several years. The Temple building, the Baum building and the Second National Bank building are all of recent con- struction and buildings of which any city might be proud. A number of beauti- ful houses have been put up during the past half dozen years. The Lindley house on North street, the Kimbrough house on North Vermilion street and the Powers home on North Vermilion street are perhaps the finest resident property in Dan-
394
HISTORY OF VERMILION COUNTY
ville. The new government building will be a great addition to the city. It is located on the site of Judge Davis' home, on Vermilion street.
The early buildings of Danville have all been lost to view these many years with the exception of the old Presbyterian church and Rev. Kingsbury house, both on the west side of south Walnut street. Other old land marks which existed for a long time have all been transformed into modern buildings. There was the old log tavern which Solomon Gilbert built on the west end of Main street. This was a pretentious house, for the time, and no criticism was due with its sign swinging from the limb of a tree near by. Everything which would tend to recall that familiar house of early day is long since passed out of sight of the interested. Even the tree and all its descendents have been converted into ashes and scattered to the four winds of the heavens. This hostelry gave place to the old Pennsylvania House and its rival, the McCormack House. The Penn- sylvania House stood on Vermilion street and the McCormack, was on west Main street between Walnut and Franklin streets.
GEORGETOWN TOWNSHIP.
Georgetown township lies in the second tier of counties from the southern border of Vermilion county. It has the Indiana state line as the eastern bor- der. The Vermilion river runs across its northeastern corner for about five miles with a bed so deep down as to drain the surrounding country. The Little Vermilion makes a short turn in its southern border. This township was im- portant territory in the first years of the life of Vermilion County, the two most used roads of this part of the state running through it. The road known as the state road from Vincennes to Chicago ran directly through the township and the "Salt works road" over which the product of the salt works was hauled into the settlements of western Indiana, ran directly across Georgetown town- ship. The Cairo division of the N. Y. Central lines runs through the town fol- lowing and parallel to the old state road. This road was formerly known as the Paris and Danville road, the John Short road, and the Danville & South- western R. R.
Georgetown township was originally all timber, and it attracted early set- tlement. The heavy timber, the good water supply, the general lay of the land and its nearness to the salt works all tended to draw settlement that way. Later the third portion along the western border and from the center of prairie land, made this township one of fine farms. The first settlement was made by Henry Johnson, in 1820, on section 36, just two miles west of George- town. This was the year that James Butler made his home at what was after- wards known as Butlers Point.
Achilles Morgan came to Vermilion County and became a settler of this township in 1825. This immediate neighborhood was called Morgans, Mor- gantown and Morgans Neighborhood.
Brooks Point (now Kelleyville) was settled about this time. This town- ship was blessed with a large number of the Society of Friends coming into it and bringing their institutions. It was the part of the county which in the early times made greatest promise of merchantile progress.
THE TEMPLE BUILDING, DANVILLE
395
HISTORY OF VERMILION COUNTY
'The class of people who settled in Georgetown township were such as ap- preciated the value of schools. The Georgetown seminary was the institution which helped in the advancement of education more than any other school in this part of the state at that time.
Georgetown village was laid out in the spring of 1826, two months after Danville was surveyed. The first plat contained four blocks of eight lots each. The only two streets were State street, running north and south and was a portion of the old state road, and West street which crossed it at right angles. The plan of the village was the idea of a hollow square such as was followed in the plat of Danville and some of the other early villages. There is a dif- ference of opinion in regard to the origin of the name of Georgetown. Some think it was named for George Beckwith, the brother of the man whose name was given to Danville; while others, with as much reason probably, assert that Mr. Haworth gave the town, which he was laying out, the same name as that of his son who was a cripple: The first building in Georgetown was a doctor's office, the next house was a blacksmith shop.
ELWOOD TOWNSHIP.
Compiled by Bertham Rees.
As to extent, Elwood township is only a shadow of what it was once, but without its history, the history of the county or state would not be com- plete, for it still contains some very noted places, noted men and some of the best and most productive farms in the county. Before the division, Elwood comprised all of town 17, range II, west of the second P. M., a fraction of range 10 and two tiers of sections off the east side of range 12, making almost 11/2 congressional townships. The voters of the north end of the township made complaint because of having so far to go to vote so that a strip I mile wide was set off of the north side and given to Georgetown township.
