HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY.

road might want to take there would be three certain to favor all propositions for subserip- tions in aid thereof.

The act was to continue in force four years and then the county would return to its old fifteen Supervisors.

O. & M. Railroad .- February 25. 1867, the Legislature passed the act incorporating the Illinois Southeastern Railway Company; the incorporators were Charles A. Beecher, Joseph J. R. Turney, Robert P. Hanna, Car- roll C. Boggs, Joseph T. Fleming, Henry Halthansen, Edward Bonham, all of Wayne County, and John W. Westcott, William B. Wilson, Daniel McCauly and William H. Hanna. of Clay County.

The charter designated the track of the road might commence at some suitable point on the Chicago branch of the Illinois Cen- tral Railroad, and run by way of Fairfield to some point on the Ohio River, not south of Metropolis nor north of Shawneetown. An- other provision provided it should not join the Central at a point north of the town of Mason, nor south of Kinmundy. The char- ter provided for eight members for the Board of Directors, with power to increase the num- ber to thirteen.

The charter provided that Charles A. Beecher, Joseph T. Fleming, William H. Hanna, Edward Bonham. William B. Wil- son and John W. Westcott, should be the first Board.

February 24, 1869, the Legislature passed an amendment to this charter, giving it in- creased powers. and legalizing certain acts or doings of the Board.

In February, 1857, the Legislature had passed a charter for the Springfield & Pana Railroad. This road was provided to run from Springfield to Pana via Taylorville.

In April 1869, was passed the act incor- porating the Pana, Springfield & Northwest.

ern Railroad, or rather an amendment to this charter was passed at that time, and among other things it provided the Pana & North- western Railroad might build a road from Pana to some point on the branch of the Illi- nois Central Railroad.

December 7, 1859, articles of consolidation of the Pana, Springfield & Northwestern Railroad, and the Illinois Southeastern Rail- way Company were entered into, and formed the Springfield & Southeastern Railway Com. pany.

The first directors of the new company were D. D. Shumway. S. W. Priest, C. W. Matheny, George H. Black, Alexander Starne, Thomas S. Ridgeway, W. B. Wilson, Edward Bonham, Charles Carroll, W. H. Hanna, W. H. Robinson, C. A. Beecher and William P. Cutler.

Dodge, Lord & Co., and William P. Cut- ler, had contracted to build the Illinois Southeastern Railway, and Cutler, Dodge & Co. had contracted to build the Pana, Spring- field & North western, and the articles of con- solidation provided that as soon as the con- tractors had completed and have ready for equipment any part of the road between Shawneetown and Beardstown, for the dis- tance of five continuons miles, the railroad should issue to them $100,000 of capital stock, or an equal amount of bonds converta- ble into stock.

The work of construction was pushed for- ward to completion from Beardstown to Shawneetown. Wayne County and certain townships had subscribed $150,000 in bonds, which were duly paid over, except $20,000 subscribed by Fairfield and Barnhill Town- ships, which was never paid, and upon snit the road was defeated, because the conditions of the donation had not been complied with by the railroad company, the paramount fail- ure being in not putting up two depots in

168

Barnhill Township, which had been made a condition precedent in the vote.

July 3, 1874, upon the suit of the Farm- er's Loan & Trust Company against the road, a foreclosure was had and a sale de- creed, and on September 15, 1874, a sale by John A. Jones, Master in Chancery, the franchise was sold to M. H. Bloodgood, and a deed of conveyance executed. The amount of the indebtedness for which the road was sold was $3,895,099.59. The amount bid at the sale by Bloodgood was the sum of $500, - 000. On this it appears he paid in cash $118,015.94, and the residue in bonds of the company. This cash payment was the amount of interest due in coin on the first mortgage bonds.

Exceptions were filed to this decree by W. H. Miller, Williams & Orton Manufacturing Company. M. D. Carlyle, William Gillmore and T. D. Craddock. The court allowed the claims of these parties, and January 18, 1875, the Master in Chancery issued a deed of confirmation to M. H. Bloodgood.

January 28, 1875, M. H. Bloodgood con- veyed by deed to Fredrick S. Schuchardt. and John Bloodgood conveyed the entire franchise, and on January 29, 1875, these parties conveyed by deed the property to Daniel Torrence. The next day, these par- ties transferred the road to the Ohio & Mis- sissippi Railway Company, and it then be- came what it now is, the Springfield Division of the Ohio & Mississippi Railway Company.

The Air Line .- We have already stated that as far back as 1837. a survey was made through the county of a road to run from Alton to Mt. Carmel. The State was bank- rupted, as stated above, and the schemes fell through. But this Alton & Mt. Carmel road had interested Gen. William Pickering, and the road passed into his hands. He under- took to finish it and spent his fortune upon

it, but only succeeded in getting a road built from Princeton, Ind., to Albion, Ill. He had arrangements made with Eastern capitalists to complete the road, but about this time the political excitement of the North and South on the subject of slavery culminated in the death of Owen Lovejoy at Alton, and capitalists became alarmed and withdrew their promised support, leaving Gen. Pickering unable to go any further. He clung to his road until he was appointed Governor of Washington Territory, when he sold out his road to Bluford Wilson and others. The agreed price was only nominal, and Pickering got none of that, but we un- derstand about $14,000 was paid his heirs after his death.

In April, 1869, the St. Louis, Mt. Carmel & New Albany road was chartered, and also the Louisville, New Albany & St. Louis Air- Line Railway. Under the latter name the company, by Augustus Bradley, President, and George Lyman, Secretary, executed a mortgage to Calhoun & Opdyke for $4,525,- 000, due in 1902, but it is not known that any money was ever got under this mortgage. At all events, very little was done until May, 1881, when the stockholders met in Mt. Car- mel, and resolved to issue $3,000,000 first mortgage bonds, and $3,000,000 four per cent fifty-year cumulative income bonds, and $1,000,000 second mortgage bonds. Robert Bell was President, and Burr and Wilson held about all the stock. This meeting in- creased the capital stock from $3,000,000 to $5,000.000. Iu November of the same year the name was changed to Louisville, Evans- ville & St. Louis Railway Company. But in June, 1881, the company had executed a mortgage to the Mercantile Trust Company and Noble C. Butler, in which the route is described as being from New Albany, by Huntington, Ingleton, Oakland City, Prince-

171

ton, Mount Carmel, Albion and Fairfield to Mt. Vernon, about 192 miles; forty-five miles, from Ingleton to Albion, had been then fin- ished. The change of name was made neces- sary by a consolidation with roads from Evansville to Jasper. Ind .. and from Rock- port to Gentryville, Ind., making now a total of 260 miles. March 1, 1882, the road was completed from Mt. Vernon, Ill., to Hunting- tou, in all 202 miles, and by a mortgage $1,000,000 was secured to complete the road to New Albany. Jonas H. French succeeded Mr. Bell as President, and he was succeeded in turn by John Goldthwaite, the present incumbent. This road, one of the best equipped and best run in Southern Illinois, has cost the people of this section compara- tively nothing. Most of the money used in its construction was furnished by Ballon, of Boston. After it was completed, the road was much damaged by high water, and lay quite awhile before trains run regularly, but the result was a settling of the earth, which made it from the start one of the best road- beds in the State. Its business at once was a paying one. The Air-Line is at present using the Louisville & Nashville track to St. Louis from Mt. Vernon, but it is the inten- tion soon to have its own track to St. Louis, and by a consolidation with the Chesapeake & Ohio it will become one of the great trunk lines from the Mississippi to the Atlantic.

Coming Roads .- Southern Illinois is so full of roads building and projected that hardly a county in this portion of the State but may point to one or more new roads either just completed, or soon to be completed. The time will come when this portion of country will sustain as many first-class rail- roads as will any section of equal extent in the world.

Two unfinished roads are now on their way to Wayne County. The Danville & Ohio road is in the hands of a Receiver, and we are informed the court has ordered the Re. ceiver to issue his certificates to complete the road from Danville to Fairfield. This will fill a long-felt want of a direct road to Chi- cago. Such a road will do wonders in devel- oping the entire country. And it is hoped that work will commence in the early spring and be pushed to a rapid completion.

The Toledo, Texas & Rio Grande road was begun in June, 1882, and has a fifty-year charter. The route is from Charleston or Danville, Ill., to Cape Girardeau, and thence to an intersection of the Texas & St. Louis road, and, when built, will complete a chain of road from Mexico to New York City. Much work was already done on this road in the latter part of 1883, and it is expected that it will be completed the present year (1884).

CHAPTER XIII.

RECAPITULATION-SOME GENERAL AND SPECIAL ACCOUNTS OF THE PEOPLE-EARLY WILLS AND ADMINISTRATIONS-PRESENT COUNTY WEALTH-WAYNE FORMED FROM EDWARDS, AND THEN THE SOUTHI LINE CHANGED-THEN A PORTION SET OFF TO CLAY COUNTY-FULL LIST OF OFFICERS-SOME OF THE LITERATURE OF THE EARLY AND PRESENT DAY -AN IMMORTAL SPEECH -ISRAEL DEWEY, ETC., ETC., ETC.

TO conclude the story of the people of Wayne County is the scope and purpose of this last chapter, and to do this it is not im- proper to give a rapid and short review of the people who came in the slow accretion of population that marked this section down to the year 1860, and an account of the early and modern officials of the town to the pres- ent time. To this we propose to add a brief account of the legislative department, inso- far as the State Legislature was appealed to and did act in behalf of the people of Wayne County, and finally, but not least, the reader need not be amazed or scandalized if there are some general deductions that may tend to indicate the class of men who in early and modern times have had their say in the gen- eral control and the shaping of the State legislation, insofar as the same affected the county.

In visiting through the county and in the presence of old settlers, the writer had the pleasure of meeting Susan Jane Cook, who came to the county in 1821, a well preserved, high spirited and outspoken woman, with such nerve, independence and a natural com- manding nature that she is sometimes de- scribed as the "Queen of Barefoot." By way of explanation, it may be necessary to explain that "Barefoot Nation" is in the

east and northern portion of the county, and derives its name from the early habit of the pioneers, who never saw a pair of tooth-pick shoes, or a live dude in their lives. She dis- tinctly remembers all the first settlers of the county, particularly Harris, Richard and Sam Locke and the Carters, and says the first preacher she ever heard was a man named Finley, who came from somewhere South. Then she describes the first Camp- bellite she ever heard of as a " little, old, sour, cross man," but "he had a voice like a bell." When very young, she says she heard a negro (called colored men nowadays) preach. and he "was powerful for to hear" is her recollection. She remembers it was common those days at meetings for several to have the "jerks," and in this business she credits the "nigger with as much power as the best of 'em;" she remembers hearing Merritt preach once, and he announced that "Christ was in the camp," and then the shouting raged like mad. The first school she attended, "in a slip, and barefoot," was "over in the Statt's settlement," where old man Kennedy handled the long hazel, and then "old man Taylor taught there," who was considered "the smartest man in the world" at that time. The first wedding she remembers was when her elder " sister Nancy married Bill Carter."

Charles Carter is now an old man and is ing a son, Rigdon, still living here. The still living in Fairfield, verging on sixty-nine years of age. He was born in Kentucky and came to Wayne County in 1831 and settled in Turney's Prairie. He remembers Samuel Leech as the first merchant in the county, and he thinks Caleb Wilmans the second, and R. B. Slocumb the third. Carter says he worked for and lived with Wilmans' fam- ily for six years. Wilmans went to Califor- nia in 1849, and soon after died there. Carter informs us that R. B. Slocumb was married twice, his second wife being Caleb Ridgeway's daughter, and that he left chil- dren, Mrs. Seth Crews, of Chicago, Mrs. James Stanley, Mrs. Woodward, of Mt. Ver- non, and sons Eugene. Clarence and a mar- ried daughter, Ibey Groesbeck, now in New York.

When he first remembers Fairfield, Will- iam Patton, who died years ago, lived here. Andrew Mays was then in what is now Elm River Precinct. Presley Simpson lived five miles south of town. He was a Tennessean, and had a son, John D., now living in the county. In 1832, Wilmans & Weed, who were relatives, were merchandising here. They finally built a steam saw mill on the Little Wabash, near Beach Bluff. He re- members William Irvin as a good farmer and a quiet, peaceable man; also James Massey, a preacher. He left a son, also a preacher. Richard Massey. Elijah Harlan was one of the principal citizens on Skillet Fork, near Mill Shoals. He had a large family, but all are supposed to be dead. Samuel Close lived in Turney's Prairie; had a large fam- ily; was a Kentuckian. Removed to North somewhere. His father died here at an ad- vanced age. Gambril Bartlett lived near En- terprise; moved away about 1838. James Houston lived near Fairfield: had an old tread mill and distillery: died in 1840. leav-

patriarch of the celebrated Turney family was Michael. His sons were Moses, Dr. Daniel, Isaiah, Anthony B. and Dr. William F. The last lived in Fairfield; was in Black Hawk war, and died at Leech's Mills in 1838. Anthony B., father of Thomas Jefferson Turney, who now lives at Mill Shoals, and also father of Jackson and Washington Turney, removed to Wabash County, and then emigrated West. Isaiah Turney, in 1834, went to Jersey Connty, and Moses went to Texas in 1840, and Thomas moved North in 1846. Dr. Daniel Turney's son, Lafayette, went West twelve years ago. John Clark, Sr., was a Kentuckian; was here at a very early day. (See previous chapters.) He died in 1838. His brothers were Andrew and Alexander. David McLin was an early Cumberland preacher. His surviving son was William. Alfred Hall lived in Big Mound-a rollicking fellow. Wesley Staton was a Black Hawk war sol- dier. He was a hatter in Fairfield; finally went onto a farm in Arrington Township. He was stung to death by bees. Joseph Morris lived in Long Prairie; left a large family. William Gray lived in Four Mile Prairie. Miles Morris and Greenbury Wal- ker lived in Long Prairie. When he first saw Fairfield he remembers there were then here Hugh Stewart and family, Dr. Parks, Sam Leech, Archy Roberts, Wesley Sta- ton, John Brown, the Wilmans, Dan Turney, David McLin, John W. Snyder and W. F. Turney. These all had families ex- cept W. F. Turney and Staton. Mathew Franklin was the chief carpenter. He was a great crony of C. C. Young. Mr. Carter, in 1838, married Louisa M. Wilson, daugh- ter of Joseph and Nancy Wilson, who died January, 1881, leaving three boys and two girls.

Wayne County was formed out of Edwards, and it seems there grew up some misunder- standing between the two counties as to the exact southern line of the former county, and therefore, in 1829, the Legislature passed an act to exactly define this line. See laws, 1829, page 32. And another law was passed in 1831, giving the county its full pro rata share in the Gallatin salines. In 1837, the county applied to the Legislature, and pro- cured an act changing the original applica-

tion of this saline donation. In 1855, the county was in the throes of the greatest finan- cial troubles, largely by the death of stock and failure of crops, and it procured the authority and did borrow $5,000 to " purchase breadstuffs for the unfortunates." A small portion of the territory of Wayne was taken and added to Clay County in 1863. On the 28th of February, 1867, the act virtually abolishing the Board of Supervisors (which consisted of fifteen members), and had what was known as the " Five Horse Act." passed. This law cannot readily be found in the laws of 1867, simply because by its strange title it never would be recognized. The curious reader, however, will find the document on page 102. When the matter got into the courts, the great joke on the lawyers was that they could not find the act, although they were well aware one had been passed. Another remarkable fact was that every law- yer as soon as he examined it, knew it was unconstitutional, and yet it was secured to literally gouge the people out of large sums of money for railroad purposes, and this part of the scheme was really more shrewdly car- ried out than the first. for the simple reason that before the question was taken into the courts, the bonds had been issued and parties had purchased in good faith, and the Su- preme Court was compelled finally to decide that although the act was unconstitutional, yet the " Five Horse Court," upon a suit upon the bonds was a de facto court, and therefore bonds were good. We consider this whole transaction one of the sharpest that is to be found in the legislation or the law re- ports of our State.

Burnt Prairie Manual Labor Seminary (this was partly in Wayne only) was char- tered as early as 1836. The next year, the Fairfield Library Company was made a charter institution. In 1839, the Fairfield

Institute was chartered and the Library Company was merged into the same, and the Ewing Seminary was chartered in 18-45.

We have noticed, at considerable length in another and preceding chapter, that at the very earliest day, when usually other counties of the same age had hardly reached the day of house-raisings yet, that Fairfield was dis- cussing, among other questions, with hammer and tongs, those and all great literary prob- lems, "Which is the most beautiful, art or nature ?"
