In 1837 Robert with his wife and one child removed from Washington County, New York, to Reynoldsburg, Ohio, where they lived for nearly thirteen years. In the spring of 1850 he brought his family to Somonauk, Illinois, and settled on a new prairie farm in Victor township, De Kalb County, Illinois.


They were the thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth members en- rolled in the Somonauk church. Their children all became members of the same church.

In his history of the Graham family, Hon. A. W. Graham says of Andrew Graham, in part:


"Andrew Graham came with his father's family to De Kalb County, Illinois, in 1850. He grew to manhood on the farm in those pioneer days when the prairie was new and settlers were few. His early opportunities for school were scant, as is true in all new countries. Schoolhouses were few and far be- tween when first erected. For several years many children had to go long distances to school, but their course was 'as the crow flies'-in a trail of their own making through the long grass in the summer and across the snow-covered prairie in winter. A boy got only a few winter months of schooling after he had reached the age of nine or ten years as he must help earn the living.


"Such was the lot of the subject of this sketch. It was a struggle to live so far out on the border of civilization in ad- vance of the railroad.


"Mr. Graham's very interesting account of the early settle-


135


SOMONAUK CHURCH


ments and the establishment of the district school, read before various Parent-Teachers' associations, illustrates many of the difficulties with which the first homeseekers of a new country had to contend. (A brief extract from this will be found in the appendix. )


"Andrew worked on the farm until twenty-three years of age, when, desiring a better education, he took the money he had earned and entered Monmouth College, where he remained three years. While he has engaged in farming the greater part of his life, he was always deeply interested in education, and himself taught school for a period equivalent to sixteen school years. Deriving much pleasure and profit from intellectual pursuits, he has used his education for the advancement of others and has written extensively for religious and local papers. His fellow-townsmen testify to Mr. Graham's usefulness in the communities where he has lived. The writer of these lines is indebted to him for much data in writing his history of the Graham family from William Graham, born in the middle of the eighteenth century, down to the present time.


"Andrew Graham joined the Somonauk United Presbyterian Church in 1864, was a ruling elder in Aurora, Illinois, for fourteen years, and was once a delegate from the Chicago Presbytery to the General Assembly at Knoxville, Tennessee. Now a ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church at Waterman, Illinois, he was sent by the Ottawa Presbytery as a delegate to the Presbyterian General Assembly which met in Indianap- olis in 1923. Mr. Graham has been for over forty years a teacher in the Sabbath School, the most of the time having classes of young people, and is still in the work, active in body and mind.


"Mr. Graham's wife, Mary, a lovely woman, was a real home-maker and a pleasant companion. Having graced his home for twenty years, she was taken to her eternal home, leaving a void that cannot be effaced."

THE GRAHAM FAMILY


Those who remember her will no doubt agree that Burns' lines to another Mary might well have been written about Mary Robertson:


"The golden hours, on angels' wings, Flew o'er me and my dearie; For dear to me, as light and life, Was my sweet Highland Mary."

THE HARPER FAMILY


JAMES (3) HARPER, born January 2, 1842; living in 1927; married March 10, 1869, Elizabeth Nisbet; born Feb- ruary 3, 1848, in Paw Paw township; died May 1, 1927.


Children:


i. George (4). ii. Archibald.


In excellent health, Mr. Harper is living, at the age of eighty-six, on his farm near Rollo village. Much of the data on the family was narrated by him recently with complete accuracy. He recalled that in 1849 and the early '50s his father frequently drove across the prairie twelve miles to attend church services in the schoolhouse adjacent to George Bever- idge's house on Somonauk Creek. He remembers well the double log house, the home of the Beveridges. He said he re- membered the long sermons but little of what the minister said during his boyhood days. Many amusing incidents indelibly imprinted in his memory revealed his strong sense of humor. One of these, which connects itself with the little house of worship, so shocked his childish sensibilities that his memory of it is photographic.


The trail leading to the schoolhouse was lined on either side with a mass of hazel brush. One Sabbath, when the worshipers were separating after a particularly long service, some on foot, some in wagons drawn by oxen, some in horse-drawn wagons, a family by the name of Riddle, who were driving a pair of spirited ponies, furnished considerable excitement. The women of the family, seated on boards across the wagon-box, were in the back, while the men sat in front. The team, restless and frisky from long standing tied to a tree, at the words "Get up" surprised their driver by jumping into a run, whipping into the trail with such speed that the women slid from the seat and landed headlong in the brush at the roadside. Their position was undignified in the extreme and they were extricated from the scraggly bushes with some difficulty, their clothes being


145


SOMONAUK CHURCH


considerably torn in the process. Frightened and highly excited, their Christian fortitude deserted them for the moment and Mrs. Riddle denounced the young driver as a "blunderbuss." The minister tried to mitigate her annoyance by expressing thankfulness that the results were no worse, whereupon the lady went so far as to say that she could be still more thankful if the affair had not happened at all. Mr. Harper's retrospective enjoyment of this scene that had so shocked his youthful ideas of propriety was apparent in his twinkling eye and hearty laugh.


GEORGE (3) HARPER, the second son of Robert H. (2) and Ann Oswald Harper, born August 3, 1845, was a soldier in the Civil War and was later in the regular army. He died at the age of twenty-four years.


Robert H. (2) Harper married second, October 9, 1852, Mrs. Ann Anderson, of Victor township; born near Perth, Canada, October 2, 1821. Ann had come to Illinois with her parents, Robert and Janet Brown, in 1850. Robert Harper was one of the pillars of the United Presbyterian Church at Ross Grove, and a ruling elder from the beginning.
