Their daughter Alice was the youngest and under the parental roof the days of her girlhood were passed. She gave her hand in marriage to Edward Brown, who was born in New York, in 1852.

Mrs. Brown is a member of St. Patrick's Roman Catholic church, and is one of its devout followers. She has spent her entire life in this part of Illinois and is well known in Joliet, where she has many friends who esteem her high- ly for her genuine worth and many good traits of character.
ARCHIBALD S. LECKIE.
Archibald S. Leckie, whose name is by no means unknown in journalistic circles and who as editor of the Joliet Herald has done much to raise the standard of newspaper publication in Jolict, was born in Chicago, April 7, 1864. He entered news- paper work in 1884, when twenty years of age, on the Chicago Daily News, acting successively as re- porter, telegraph editor and city editor. His edu- cation and training in this direction was received under Melville E. Stone, with whom he was in close and intimate relations for four years. He left the News in 1888 to enter upon business con- nections with the City Press Association of Chi- cago, being made general manager of this concern in 1890, a position he held until 1901, when he purchased an interest in the Rockford (Illinois) Register Gazette. For more than two years he was an active factor in politics in northern Illinois in connection with his position as editor of the Reg- ister Gazette, which became one of the leading pa- pers of the state. In 1904 he sold his interest in Rockford and went to Philadelphia, where he was offered the position of night managing editor of the Public Ledger, but he did not accept the posi- tion as life in the middle west was more congenial and he returned to Chicago, becoming city editor of the Chronicle. There he remained until he as- sumed charge of the Joliet Herald, which has prospered under his management and is one of the leading papers of the state outside of the great Chicago dailies.

PAST AND PRESENT OF WILL COUNTY.
Mr. Leckie was married in 1888 to Miss Jennie McKay, a daughter of Captain C. P. McKay, of Chicago, and has one son, Archibald Verner, born in 1903. Mr. Leckie belongs to the Episcopal church, to the Masonic fraternity and to the Elks lodge. He is now one of the oldest members of the Chicago Press Club and was most active in its af- fairs for several years. He is also a member of the Union League and the Joliet Commercial Clubs. He is a journalist whose recognized ability was well established before he assumed charge of the editorial department of the Herald and the business management of the Joliet Printing Com- pany. He has been successful in elevating the standard of journalism in Joliet and in creating a healthier and more progressive spirit in the busi- ness community. The Joliet Herald under his management does honor to Will county as well as · to the guiding spirit of Mr. Leckie and those who are his associates on this successful daily paper.
JAMES E. NEWKIRK.
James E. Newkirk is superintendent of the Keltie Stone Company, with which he has been connected since its incorporation in 1891. In this connection he is a prominent representative of in- dustrial interests in Joliet and the success of the company is largely attributable to his effective la- bors and enterprise. Mr. Newkirk is a native son of Joliet, born September 17, 1861, his parents be- ing Richard and Charlotte ( Nokes) Newkirk, who came from Kentucky and England, respectively. The mother arrived in Lockport, Illinois, with her parents in 1837. Her father was a veterinarian and also handled fine horses, making his home in Lockport until his death. Following their mar- riage Mr. and Mrs. Richard Newkirk removed to the "Yankee settlement," where he followed farm- ing, devoting practically all of his active life to agricultural pursuits. They attended the Meth- odist Episcopal church, of which Mrs. Newkirk was a devoted and faithful member. She died in 1882, at the age of fifty-eight years, while Mr. Newkirk passed away in 1897, at the age of seven- ty-seven years while on a visit in Kentucky at the place where he was born. In 1895 a reunion of the Newkirk family was held in Kentucky in cele-
bration of the one hundredth anniversary of the arrival of their ancestors in Jefferson county, that state. James E. Newkirk is one of a family of ten children, of whom five daughter and two sons are yet living. His brother resides at Fort Madi- son, Iowa, and one sister is also living in that state, while the others are residents of Will county.
James E. Newkirk was reared in his native county and pursued his education in the public schools. In the latter "20s he became an employe of the old Joliet Stone Company and in 1885 he entered the service of the Joliet & Chicago Stone Company, with which he continued until 1891, when he joined the Keltie Stone Company on its organization. This company has of recent years been engaged largely in outside contract work, including bridge building, and has done practically all of the bridge work for the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railroad, often employing large gangs of men. Their offices are in the Barber building and the business is constantly growing in volume and importance. Mr. Newkirk has been connected with this line since he entered business life and is well qualified for the onerous duties which de- volve upon him in this connection, for he is fa- miliar with the stone trade in every detail.
Mr. Newkirk wedded Miss Mary Engmann, a native of Switzerland, who in childhood came to the United States with her parents, John and Eliza- beth Engmann. The latter still resides at Joliet but the father, who for years was connected with the old Joliet Stone Company, died in 1886. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Newkirk have been born three sons and two daughters: George James, who is now a fireman on the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railroad; Ralph Henry, at home; Franklin Howard; Flor- ence Jessie; and Frieda Elizabeth. The family residence is at No. 1215 South Richards street.
Politically Mr. Newkirk is a republican, having always stanchly supported the party since age con- ferred upon him the right of franchise. Socially he is connected with the Masonic fraternity, having taken the degrees of the lodge, chapter and com- mandery at Joliet, and is also a member of the Mystic Shrine. He likewise belongs to the Mod- ern Woodmen camp and the Knights of Pythias fraternity, and his wife is a member of the Eng- lish Lutheran church. In the city where his entire life has been passed Mr. Newkirk has a wide and favorable acquaintance and the kindly regard in
850

which he is uniformly held is at once an indication of his business honor and his genuine personal worth, his warmest friends being those who have known him from his boyhood days to the present.
HON. HOWARD M. SNAPP.
While the disposition to do honor to those who have served well their race or their nation is prevalent among all enlightened people and is of great value everywhere and among all forms of government, it is particularly appropriate to and to be fostered in this country, where no man is born to publie office or public honor or comes to either by inheritance, but where all men are equal before the law and where the race for distinction is over the road of public usefulness and is open to every one who chooses to enter. To bear an illus- trious name is often to invite the shafts of jealousy and envy. As a western editor has expressed it: "If any scion of a house still honored arises to greatness, he will have achieved it. He will not be born to it or find it thrust upon him and he must be great indeed to overcome the disadvantage of standing in the shadow of the colossal dead." We are led io this train of reflection in taking up the personal history of Hon. Howard M. Snapp who has worthily maintained the high reputation of an honored name as borne by his distinguished father, IIon. Henry Snapp, one of Will county's pioneers. IIis own individual prominence has come to him, however, not because of his father's record but because of his personal worth and abil- ity and his recent re-election to the United States congress is in itself evidence of faithful service rendered and an indication of the confidence re- posed in him by those who are willing to place their legislative interests in his hands.
Mr. Snapp was born in Joliet, September 27, 1855. His father, as stated above, was Hon. Henry Snapp, whose splendid record as state sen- ator and member of congress is well known throughout Illinois as well as in Will county. HIe was born on the 30th of June, 1822, in Livingston county, New York, and came with his parents to Illinois, in 1833. when only eleven years of age. From that time forward he was identified with the
history of Will county and gained a position of leadership in public thought and action, leaving the impress of his individuality for good upon the interests of the county. He died, deeply re- gretted, in Joliet. November 26, 1895, when sev- enty-three years of age. He had married Mary Adeline Broadie, who was born in Delaware and came to Illinois about the same time as her future husband. She died in 1884, leaving the following children, namely: Sarah M., who is the wife of Judge Dorrance Dibell, of Joliet ; Elizabeth, who married George M. Campbell, also of Joliet ; Henry Douglas and Howard M., both of this city ; and Charles D., of Chicago.
Howard M. Snapp obtained his education in the local schools and in the Chicago University. At the close of the junior year he left the University and took up the study of law in the office of Hill & Dibell, continuing to read with that firm until he was admitted to the bar at Ottawa in 1878. From that time until 1888 he was with his father and Mr. Breckenridge and later with his father formed the law firm of Snapp & Snapp, which was maintained until the retirement of the senior member in 1890. Howard M. Snapp then con- tinued to practice alone and in addition to attend- ing to the duties of his private practice, held the office of master in chancery from 1884, until elect- ed to congress. Mr. Snapp is now associated in the practice of law with W. D. Ileise, states at- torney, and Charles Dorrance Dibell, son of Judge Dibell of the circuit court, under the firm name of Snapp, IIeise & Dibell. Their offices are located in the Cutting building on Jefferson street. oppo- site the courthouse, thus very conveniently situ- ated.
Mr. Snapp has not only figured prominently in local circles but has for some years been recog- nized as one of the most influential and prominent members of the republican party which has given evidence of confidence in his ability by electing and re-electing him twice to the United States con- gress. No public representative is more conversant with the legislative requirements of the state and nation as well as of his own district, than Mr. Snapp, and none are more capable to devise ways and means to secure necessary legislation. Not- withstanding his loyalty to the principles and pol- iey of the republican party there are few public men more highly esteemed by their opponents than
851
PAST AND PRESENT OF WILL COUNTY.
he is and the fact is largely due to his co-operation ' June, 1895. He at once entered upon law prac- at all times in every progressive movement bene- tice in the office of Flanders & Shutts at Joliet. He practiced for a time as a partner of Eneshia Meers and is now a member of the firm of Barr Brothers. ficial to his district or the country, regardless of party ties. In 1884 Mr. Snapp was elected sec- retary of the republican county central commit- tee and because of his efficient service in that ca- pacity he was rewarded by promotion to the chair- manship, a position which he has held with honor longer than any previous incumbent. In 1896 he was chosen a delegate to the republican convention at St. Louis when William McKinley was nomi- nated for the presidency and since that date has invariably been selected as a delegate to all con- ventions of any importance.
By energy, perseverance and ability Mr. Snapp has gained his present position and honors. His labors in recent years have become part of the his- tory of his county. He has a beautiful home at the northwest corner of Richards street and Fourth avenue and it is justly celebrated for its gracious hospitality. His marriage in Kansas City, Kan- sas, united him with Miss Alice Halsey, who was born in Henrietta, New York, a member of a prominent old family of Monroe county, that state. They now have three children : Dorrance, Helen and Howard M., Jr.
Mr. Snapp is a member of Matteson lodge, A. F. & A. M., also of chapter and council and of Mount Joliet commandery, No. 4, K. T. He affiliates likewise with Medinah Temple of the Mystic Shrine in Chicago and is a member of the Commercial Club, while at all times he is found in the front in every movement for progress and a greater Joliet.
HON. RICHARD J. BARR.
Hon. Richard J. Barr, mayor of Joliet, was born in Manhattan township, Will county, Illi- nois, November 28, 1865. He attended the coun- try schools and the Joliet high school and subse- quently engaged in teaching in the Milton Cen- ter and Manhattan schools in Will county for three years. He spent four years as a student in the University of Illinois and two years as a student in the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, be- ing graduated from the latter institution with the degree of Bachelor of Law on the 27th of
Mr. Barr has served for one terms as city at- torney of Joliet and for two terms as mayor, be- ing the incumbent in the latter position at the present time. He is a prominent republican in politics and is now serving his second term as state senator, representing the forty-first district, which comprise Will and DuPage counties. He was married to Miss Mary C. Dougall, November 20. 1906.
MONAHAN BROTHERS.
The firm of Monahan Brothers, located on North Joliet and Crowley streets, represents that spirit of enterprise, energy and progressiveness that has placed Joliet in the front rank of the cities of Illinois for manufacturing and commer- cial pre-eminence. The members of the firm are Dave D. and Frank J. Monahan, who were born and reared in Joliet, where they were afforded liberal educational privileges. Their parents were John B. and Bridget (Reynolds) Monahan, who were among the early settlers of this section of the state and shared in the efforts made to de- velop and improve the district. The father was a contractor in plastering and two of his sons, James P. and Edward, learned the trade under him and are now successful contractors in that line in the city of Chicago. Another son, John B. Mona- han, assists in the machine shop owned by the firm of Monahan Brothers. Elizabeth Monahan, a daughter of the family, is a graduate of St. Mary's Academy and superintends a well equipped and complete grocery store in the Monahan Block at the corner of Iowa avenue and Washington street. The family were all provided with excel- lent school privileges.
On leaving school Dave Monahan, as he is familiarly known among his associates and many friends, was appointed city clerk, which position he filled with credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituents from 1889 until 1893. In 1897
852
PAST AND PRESENT OF WILL COUNTY.
he entered the list of bidders for city contracts and became so successful in handling the men and in executing the work entrusted to him that his brother, Frank J. Monahan, who was foreman over the machine shop of the Illinois Steel Company, was induced to become his partner. In so doing they established a plant which gives them many advantages in carrying on contract work. In their machine shop they manufacture hydraulic valves and other equipments essential to water and gas plants, besides doing general repair work. They have not only the necessary machinery for doing all kinds of repair work, but also for excavating and sewer construction, including a trenching ma- chine that can accomplish more work than one hundred men digging by the old time method with pick and shovel. Their up-to-date equipment and intelligent conception of the work to be performed, their justice and consideration to the men in their employ and their straightforward dealing at all times gives them a legitimate monopoly of the city contracts and their work never fails to prove satisfactory to the engineering department and to all those having an interest therein.
The Monahan Brothers have also erected a fine business block in the city-a handsome brick structure with marble trimmings-which is a monument to their good taste as well as their in- dustry and successful business management. D. D. Monahan makes him home in this building with his wife and two children. He wedded Miss Enima L. Stephen, a daughter of Sebastian and Annie ( Ryan) Stephen, who were old settlers of Will county. The marriage of the young couple was celebrated in 1899 and they now have two children, John B. and Frank A., aged seven and two years respectively.
The Monahan brothers are active members of the democratic party and are stalwart supporters of all public movements that tend to develop and upbuild the city. They are strict adherents of St. Mary's Catholic church and they stand for all that is uprighi and beneficial in the city, being cham- pions of every movement for the material, intel- lortual, social and moral progress of Joliet, where their entire lives have been passed and where they have made an excellent record in business circles.
GEORGE W. REED.
George W. Reed was born in Parke county, Indi- ana, March 2, 1824. and in 1827 accompanied his parents on their removal to Fountain county, that state. It was in the spring of 1829 that they came to Will county and settled in what was afterward known as Reeds Grove in Jackson township. The father built his cabin of logs taken from the grove and there they lived until the spring of 1832, when the Black Hawk war broke out and they returned to Indiana. The same fall, however, they again came to this county, and locating at what is now Joliet, the father built a log cabin on the west side of the river, back where the National Hotel now stands. That was the first cabin built on the present site of the city.
Mr. Reed's parents, Charles and Cloah Olive Reed, were of Scotch-Irish descent and were early settlers west of the mountains in Virginia. They had a family of six children, five sons and one daughter, namely: Charles, William, George W., Edward, Elias and Olive. Soon after their mar- riage they removed to Parke county, Indiana, where our subject first saw the light of day. At the age of five he came to Will county, Illinois, and here grew to manhood, receiving a very limit- ed education in the schools of this locality.
in 1818 Mr. Reed was united in marriage to Mary Strader. by whom he had a son, Frank. Mrs. Reed died in 1852 and he then removed to Stark county, Illinois, which has since been his home. In 1855 he married a Miss Webster, of that county, who died in 1862, leaving a son George. In the latter year he enlisted as a pri- vate soldier in the cause of the Union and served faithfully for three years, receiving his discharge in June, 1865. Soon after his return home from the army he married Mrs. Jane Montieth Hunter, whose husband had been killed in the battle of Stone River. To them have been born five chil- dren, two of whom died in infancy, those still living being Zenobia, Edward and William.
Mr. Reed had but limited educational advan- tages in his youth as the schools were few in num- ber at that time and the sessions lasted only a few months in each year. Ho was called to fields of labor at an early age. The pioneers in those early days made boots and shoes, often tanning the leather and making the pegs and lasts. They

manufactured their own brooms and tools used in farming, including plows and ox yokes. They raised their own wool and flax and the women of the household spun and wove them into cloth for clothing for the family.
Mr. Reed is still healthy and vigorous notwith- standing his eighty-three years of active and laborious life. He is now a prosperous merchant of Bradford, Illinois, and bids fair to be an active business man for many long years to come.
