PHILLIPS TOWNSHIP.
This township is situated on the Great Wabash River, and con- tains sixty.one square miles. It consists of Congressional town- ship 4 south, 10 east, and the small fraction 11 east, about half a mile wide, and that portion of 4 south and 14 west which lies west of the Great Wabash. The larger portion of Phillips Town- ship was formerly comprised in Fox River Precinct. Parts of it lay in Carmi, Burnt Prairie and Grayville precincts. It is mostly timbered land, with a small strip of prairie near Cross- ville, also in the northeastern and northwestern portion of the township. The surface generally is undulating and hilly. The Little Wabash runs through the western portion, and the two Fox rivers are bayous of the Great Wabash in the eastern portion, where the land is low, swampy, heavily timbered and sparsely settled.
The first settlers in the township were James Kohn and Richard Davis, but the date of their settlement is not known. George Hoover, James Hodge, Absalom Driggers, Stephen Stanley, Thomas Poole and Daniel Boultinghonse were among the first settlers. In 1809 John Lucas settled about a inile and a quarter southeast of where Phillipstown now is. James Davenport also stopped there about the same time, and afterward settled on the road between Carmi and Grayville.
John Fraser, father of James H. Fraser, so well known in Carmi and Phillips and Mill Shoals townships, came from North Caro- lina in 1818 and settled where Phillipstown now is, upon a piece of land which he entered from the Government. ITis descendants are-Susanna, born in North Carolina in 1817, the mother of Dan H. Graham; Sarah Ann, who married Mr. Downs and removed to North Carolina in 1840, where she has since resided; and James H., the youngest, who was born in 1825, near Phillipstown. John Fraser's ancestry were mainly from Scotland. He died in 1868, and his wife in 1856.
Phillips (known in olden times as Fox River) had also her Alexander Phillips, that grand old man who was one of nature's noblemen. His whole heart went out in kindness to his neighbors.

HISTORY OF WHITE COUNTY.
There was John Stum, who could count his cattle upon a thousand hills; Richard Graves, Walter Higden, John Elliott, Josiah Mc- Knight, Samuel Hughes, James Johnston, James Evans, the Starkses, Hons, Randolphs, Charleses, Potters, Davises, Whitneds, Crosses, Grahams, Creightons, and many others, whose names would add character to any county.
There were several skirmishes with Indians in the township at an early day. James Con is known to have killed four Indians the grave of one of them is on land now owned by Jeremiah Brown. One evening Mr. Con went out to kill wild turkeys. One flew up and lighted on a tree near him. He drew up to shoot him; just before firing, another shot came and the turkey fell dead at his feet. An Indian came up for his turkey. There had long been a feud existing between this Indian and Mr. Con. So when the latter came for his turkey, Mr. Con lowered his rifle a little, and-there was no dispute; he carried home the turkey; the Indian never went home.
Deer were very plenty during pioneer times. Doctor M. H. Bacon, of Phillipstown, now seventy-nine years of age, says he has killed more deer at one shot than any other man of his knowl- edge. One day as he was ont hunting, a herd of about thirty-five came past him. He fired and killed three, wounding the fourth one; they were all large deer.
Mr. Calvin of this township has a pomological curiosity on his farm. There is an apple-tree which for two years has borne two crops of apples each year; also a pear-tree that has borne two crops of pears in one year.
Morris Birkbeck, one of the fathers of Edwards County, was drowned in an early day, while crossing Fox River when it was swollen by heavy rains. Himself and son were on their way home from New Harmony, Ind., then in charge of the Robert Owen communists, whither they had made a visit. In attempting to cross the stream the rapid current swept their horses out of their course, and Mr. Birkbeck and both horses perished. His son barely escaped the same fate.
Mr. Birkbeck was an Englishman, and soon after the war of 1812 visited Illinois with a view to locating a colony of his countrymen. Being a man of fine scholarly attainments, he wrote home for pub- lication a number of letters faithfully representing the advantages of this country, which received a wide circulation and proved of great benefit to Illinois. In a short time he and George Flower,

both men of wealth, brought out from England a large colony consisting of several hundred families, representing almost every industrial pursuit, and located in Edwards County. The town of Albion, the present county seat, was started by Mr. Flower, and another by Mr. Birkbeck about a mile west of it called Wannock, which proved a failure. There was much wealth and refinement in the colony, aside from that possessed by the founders. Mr. Flower lost his fortune by the breaking of the United States Bank, and afterward moved to Mt. Vernon. Mr. Birkbeck was Secretary of State under Governor Coles. In 1824 he contributed more by his writings than perhaps any one else to defeat the schemes of the cohorts of slavery. While living in Wannock he published a book giving an account of his travels in Europe in 1814, of which a more extended notice is given in the Miscellaneous chapter. His untimely death was a great loss to the State.
VILLAGES.

The village is situated about one mile from the Fox River, on very high ground, and has a population of about 350. It was a voting place for the precinct of Fox River many years before it was platted. It is older than Chicago, settlers being here before Fort Dearborn was built there. There is one general store, two drug stores, one blacksmith shop, one shoe shop, two saloons, four physicians,-and it is a healthy place,-one school- house, and one church edifice. There was a lodge of the Masonic fraternity in this locality long before Illinois was a State. There are two cemeteries in the village (corporation) property, one of which was laid out in 1843, the other in 1825. There is one cemetery on the old Major Phillips farm now owned by J. E. Clif- ford. There were originally about twenty graves, but they are now entirely obliterated. There was a distillery here about 1815, the ruins of which are still discernible.
Crossville was laid out by John Mills, County Surveyor, for Thomas Cross and Silas Elliott, and was named by Thomas Cross. It is located on section 23, between the Great and Little Wabash rivers, and is on a level plateau of fine land; has a population of
