Mr. and Mrs. Woodruff have only two children, Martha E. and George P' .. both single. Mr. W. is an active Republican, and was a member of the Con- necticut Legislature, which assembled in New llaven in 1873, and was also a delegate to the Hart- ford Convention of 1874. He and his wife are members of the Episcopal Church, as are also their two children.
EWIS POST. The neat homestead belong- ing to this gentleman is pleasantly located on section 19, in Sannemin Township, and is noticeable for its substantial buildings, good fences and farm stock and general air of thrift. The farm comprises 154 acres of land, the accumulation of an industrious and enterprising man, and one who has ever been ready to illustrate the results of honest labor, and follow the strictest rules of uprightness and propriety. Ile is one of the most reputable German citizens of the township, to which he came in the spring of 1883, and from the linmblest be- ginning in life has become the possessor of a com- fortable property.
Livingston County is indebted to the enterpris- ing natives of the Fatherland, who have largely assisted in the cultivation of her soil, and the de- velopment of her resources. Our subject occupies a good position among this class. He was born in Ochtelbar, Germany, June 25, 1836, and is the

son of John and Mary ( Walschen) Post, who were also natives of Germany, where the father died, and the mother still lives there. The father was prin- cipally engaged in farming, and was noted as a quiet and law-abiding citizen, who fulfilled his duties in life in a worthy manner.
Mr. Post received a good education in his native tongue, and soon after his twenty-eighth birthday was married to Miss Stien Revus, and the following year, 1865, they set out for America. They em- barked from the port of Bremen on a sailing-vessel, and after a tedious ocean voyage of six weeks, landed in New York City, and thence came directly to Livingston County. Mr. Post first employed himself as a farm laborer, which he followed with true German persistence for some time, meanwhile saving what he could of his earnings, and by the aid of his excellent wife was enabled to live eco- nomieally, and thus acquired a sum sufficient to purchase the land which he now occupies. Of this , they took possession in the spring of 1883, and en- tered with courage upon the work before them.
To Mr. and Mrs. Post there were born seven chil- dren, of whom but five are living, namely : John, Annie, Mary, Denie and Albert. Lena and an in- fant unnamed are deceased. Mr. Post is a member of the German Lutheran Church, and in political matters votes independently.
LEXANDER EASTON is a farmer by eall- ing, but is at present engaged in the livery business as a member of the firm of Easton & Westervelt, of Fairbury. He comes of genuine old Scotch parentage, both his father and mother having been born in "Bonnie Scotland." The parents were Robert and Mary (Spence) Easton. the former of whom was born in 1812, and the lat- ter in 1815.
Robert Easton was a miner by trade and followed the same occupation after coming to the United States. Upon his arrival in this country he took up his residence in Maryland and after an active and busy life of some years in that State, he moved to Pennsylvania, where he lived and labored at his trade, respected for his uprightness and honorable
dealings with his fellowmen, until his death in 1881. He was a consistent Christian, and held fellowship with the Methodist Episcopal Church. Ilis good wife survived him, and is living in Fairbury. The union of Robert Easton and Mary Spence was blessed by the birth of ten children, six of whom are with their father in "that home not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." The children were named as follows: Robert, Sarah, Margaret, Sarah (2d), Margaret (2d), Adam, Alexander, Ellen, Agnes and Archibald. Those living are Alexander, Ellen, Agnes and Robert.
The subject of this sketch was born near Lona- coning, Alleghany Co., Md., Sept. 2, 1844, and lived with his parents in that State until their removal to Allegheny County, Pa., when he accompanied them there. There he continued to reside nutil rebel shot and shell were thundered against Sumter, and President Lincoln called for brave hearts and strong arms to defend our country's flag. Although but seventeen years old, young Easton resolved to give his life, if necessary, for the preservation of the Union. Accordingly in 1861 he enlisted in Com- pany D, 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry, as a private, and was mustered into the service at Pittsburgh. He participated in the second and third battles of Winchester, the battles of Rocky Gap, Va., Fisher's Ilill, Gettysburg, Martinsburg, Bunker Hill, Cedar Creek, Cross Keys, Lewisburg, Va., and many minor engagements. He also participated in the Salem raid, which was one of the most destructive of the war.
In 1863, after the battle of Winchester, Private Easton was promoted Corporal, and a year later was promoted Orderly, and served on Gen. Ave- rill's staff. Mr. Easton received two wounds at the battle of Cedar Creek. one of which was in the hand, and the other on the leg, between the knee and ankle. Ile was also taken prisoner during that engagement, and for five months suffered all the horrors of rebel prisons. He was first confined in that most foul of Southern dens, Libby, of Rich- mond, and later sent to Salisbury, N. C., where he remained until the spring. Mr. Easton. after receiv- ing his honorable discharge from the army, went to Virginia, where his parents were then living, and remained about three years, during the time being

Indian Giove Township. The place has a good residence and orchard upon it, and every aere is under an ad- vanced state of cultivation. Mr. Easton lived ou this farm until November. 1886. when he rented it and moved into Fairbmy, engaging in the livery business with J. L. Westervelt, which business re- lation still exists.
On the 5th of June. 1879. Mr. Easton was united in marriage with Miss Jennie T., daughter of Dr. Amo- MI. and Melissa ( Kinney ) Johnson. The re- sult of this union has been three children, whose record i- as follows: Oscar A. was born March 23. Isso: Harvey L .. May 4, 1884; Perey D., Jan. 27. 1887. Since his advent into llinois Mr. Easton ha- been successful in his business ventures, and has been able to surround himself and family with many of the comforts of life. In his political affilia- tions Mr. Easton i- in harmony with the Repub- lican party, and he gives to the men and measures of that party a hearty and cordial support.

Father Owens was born in the city of Brooklyn, N. Y .. Jan. 21. 1860, and is the son of Edward and Margaret ( Farrell) Owens, natives of Ireland, who immigrated to this country in their youth and are still residing in Brooklyn. He was educated pri- marily in the Brooklyn city chools, graduated from St. John's College in that city in 1877, then went to Canada to perfect himself in the higher branches. After a four years course at the Sulpi- vian seminary at Montreal he returned to Now York, and continued his studies at Troy one and
The church at Fairbury was formerly under the charge of Rev. John A. Fanning, who presided over the various churches of Livingston, Ford and Iroquois Counties from 1866 to 1880. and who is remembered as having been a man of more than ordinary talent and executive ability. He is now in Bureau County. He was succeeded by Rev. P. Lyons, who was subsequently assigned to Campns.
S AMUEL M. GREENBAUM. Among the citizens of Livingston County now resident are many who have witnessed a marvelous change from its wild primitive condition of unsubdued prairie to its present high state of eul- tivation. Among them is the subject of this sketch. although yet a young man. Mr. Greenbaum has ridden over the unobstructed prairies, with his com- pass on his saddle-horn for a guide, gathering up cattle which roamed at will.
Mr. Greenbaum was born in Frankfort-on-the- Main, Germany, Sept. 18, 1842. His parents were Moses and Sarah ( Neumann) Greenbaum. The father was a drover, and with his family, save the subject of this sketch, who came in 1856, came to this county in 1861, locating in Pontiac. His death took place in Chicago, in June, two years thereafter. There were in all six children in the family, one of whom, Jacob, died during infancy in Germany. The others are .1. M., engaged in the cattle business in Chicago: Henry, a banker at Pontiac: Jeanette. wife of Isaac Freeman, of Chi- rago; Rebecca, wife of Louis Levy, alsoof Chicago, and Samuel M., our subject.
In 1856 Samuel M. Greenbaum came to this country, landing at Baltimore: thenee to Chicago, thence to Lexington, and to Pontiac in 1857. where he remained until the breaking out of the Rebellion, when, full of patriotism and love of his adopted country, he enlisted in Company C. 39th Illinois Infantry, Sept. 11, 1861, and was mustered

As a trophy of the war we find Mr. Greenbaum carrying back from Richmond to Yankeedom a bride, Miss Henrietta Kayton, daughter of Henry and Caroline Kayton, residents of Baltimore, for- merly of Norfolk. The marriage was celebrated in Richmond. To them have been born six children : Moses, Oct. IS, 1867; Belle, June 14, 1869: Sadie, July 14, 1871 ; Carrie, Sept. 25, 1873; Walter, Nov. 25, 1875; JJessie, March 1, 1882.

Sumter, and engaged in the siege and capture of Morris Isl- and July 11. To them belongs the honor of being the first regiment to enter Ft. Wagner. In January, ILLIAM CHAMINGS, an enterprising far- mer and stock-breeder residing on section 2, Belle Prairie Township, was born on the 28th of April, 1855, in Devonshire, England. The county of Mr. Chamings' nativity is one of the best known of all England: the surface is greatly broken and diversified, but except the wild sterile tracts, Dartmoor and Exmoor, is generally remark- able for fertility. The vale of Exeter, and the dis- triet bordering on the English Channel. called the Southams, are especially beautiful and rich. The county is tamed for its cider, and the red Devon breed of cattle is highly esteemed, and Dartmoor produces large numbers of small ponies. It is rich in mineral, producing copper, arsenie, manganese, tin, lead, kaolin and granite. It was in this county where Nicholas W. and Elizabeth (Hill) Chamings 1864, the 39th Illinois re-enlisted as veterans, and in the summer following engaged in Butler's Bermuda Hundreds campaign. At Drury's Bluff, May 16, they sustained a loss of 15 killed, 72 wounded, 52 missing ; at Wire Bottom Church, May 20, 23 killed, 130 wounded, and 13 missing; at Deep Run, Au- gust 16, 26 killed, 77 wounded, $ missing. The 24th Army Corps, to which the 39th was attached, broke camp on the north side of James River and went to Hatches' Run, on the extreme of the Army of the Potomac, broke the rebel lines there, and the following day stormed the works, or rather the key to Petersburg, and took the same. The 39th Illinois was in the advance in this bloody work. It was in the advance upon Richmond at Chapin's Farm. and at Darbytown, where they sustained a loss of 15 killed, 57 wounded and 8 missing.

The mother was born in 1826, and is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Mr. Chamings left home at the age of fifteen and emigrated to America. Arriving at New York he at once proceeded to Livingston County, stopping one week in Pontiac. and then went to work for his uncle. F. Skinner, of Belle Prairie Township, re- maining with him one year, and then engaged in work for his uncle, Edwin Chamings, one year, and then one year for Mr. Kirby. He then went to Colorado, where he worked for eighteen months at various kinds of labor, and then concluded to visit his native land and crossed the ocean to spend three months with his father and mother. Upon his return he accepted employment from Mr. Kirby and remained with him for two years.
On the Ist of January, 1878, our subject was married to Miss Mary E. Rudd, who was born in Green Township. Woodford Co., Ill., on the 14th of March. 1859. She is the daughter of John and Mary ( Handford) Rudd. also natives of Devonshire, England, who came to America in 1853, and located in Peoria County, where they remained until the date of their removal to Woodford County. Mr Rudd i- a farmer by occupation, and be and his wife are both members of the Christian Church, in which he wa- a Deacon for many years. They are the par- out- of four children- James. John W ..

ereeted a splendid dwelling and a commodious barn, a view of which we present in this volume. One of the valuable features of Mr. Chamings' farm is a spring, or rather an artesian well, which discharges its water through the cellar and milk house into his cattle trough. This well is valued at $1,000. It cer- tainly is a splendid acquisition to the snug farm he owns. Mr. Chamings acts with the Republican party. Ile and his wife are members in good standing of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1885 they both made a visit to England, remaining with their parents about nine months. Mr. Cham- ings himself has crossed the Atlantic five times.

C HARLES PERRINE, a native of Brown County, Ohio, is now one of the most highly respected residents of Sannemin Township, to which he came in the spring of 1870 with his parents, who located on section 12, on land adjoin- ing the present farm of our subject. There the parents resided until the death of the father, which took place on the 8th of March, 1877. The mother is still living and resides with her son Thomas H., at the old home.
The father of our subject was a man of good business capacities, and possessed the qualities which rendered him a valued member of the com- munity. Ile served as School Director of his dis- triet, and took a genuine interest in matters affect- ing the welfare of the people around him. Politi- cally, he was a stanch Republican, and in all re- spects acquitted himself as an honest man and a good citizen.
Our subject was born on the 28th of February, 1859, and is the son of Ralph .and Eveline (Ilol- man) Perrine, who were natives of Ohio. Their household included three children, namely : Charles L., Thomas H., and William W., now a resident of Kansas. In the fall of 1865, the family left Ohio for the Prairie State, and located in LaSalle County, where the father carried on farming until about 1870. and then removed to Livingston County.
Charles was reared to manhood and received the education common to most farmers' boys, studying

employing himself upon the farm. After the death of his father, he remained with his mother until twenty-five years of age, and was then married, Sept. 2, 1884, to Miss Sarah E. Cotrell, the wedding taking place at the home of the bride in Avoca Township.
Mrs. Perrine was born in Avoca Township, this county, Sept. 3, 1862, and is the daughter of An- drew and Adeline Cotrell, natives of Ohio, of whom the latter is deceased; the father is now a resident of Avoca Township. Mr. Perrine's property in- cludes eighty acres of good land with. fair improve- ments, and under the enterprising hand of its pres- ent proprietor, will doubtless develop into one of the most desirable homesteads in the township. Mr. and Mrs. Perrine number their friends by the score, and are pleasant and genial both to friends and strangers.
G EORGE W. BOYER. a gentleman of good education and more than ordinary intelli- gence, has been a resident of Livingston County since 1867, and is located on a good farm on section 20, Dwight Township. This farm is em- bellished with first-class improvements, and in all respects indicates the supervision of a proprietor skilled in his calling, and one who has taken advan- tage of the most approved methods of modern ag- riculture. We take pleasure in presenting on an- other page a view of Mr. Boyer's homestead. Mr. Boyer is an extensive reader and devotes his leis- ure moments to the perusal of subjects treated by the best authors, and has kept himself well informed upon current events, as well as the history of times gone by.
Mr. Boyer comes from an old American family of English ancestry on his father's side, and on the maternal side from the Rupp family, who canie from Germany shortly after the landing of William Penn, and settled in Cumberland County, Pa. John Boyer, the grandfather of the subject of our sketch. was born in this country, and was a farmer in Lancaster County, Pa., where George Boyer. his son, and the father of our subject, was born in the year 1800. He was a farmer also in that county,
and married Lydia Rupp, the daughter of Jacob Rupp, both of the same county, who lived near Reading. To them were born six children-Jacob, John, George W., William. Samuel and Sarah. The father, whose death occurred in Pennsylvania, at the age of sixty-eight years, was a devout member of the Lutheran Church, and in politics was a Re- publican.
George W. Boyer, our subject, was born in Lan- caster County, Pa., on the 20th of February, 1827, and received a common-school education while a boy, to which he has very materially added by con- stant reading and observation since manhood. He was reared to farm life, and at the age of sixteen years accompanied the family of his father to Blair County, Pa., where for several years he engaged in farming.
At the age of twenty-two years, on the 24th of May, 1849, Mr. Boyer was married to Miss Mary Ann, daughter of Henry and Catherine (Cherry) Turnbaugh. who were of German ancestry, and who lived near Altoona, Blair Co., Pa. To Mr. and Mrs. Boyer have been born seven children, viz. : Henry, Annetta, Samuel H., Sarah, Climenia E., Alfred A. and George W .: the last-named died when a lad of twelve years. Henry married Miss Nellie Morris; Annetta, James B. Austin ; Samuel HI .. Jennie Lower, and Sarah C., Dwight P. Mills, all of Dwight.
After the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Boyer they remained on his father's farm for the first year, and he engaged in different occupations, finally, how- ever, settling down to farming. In 1865 Mr. Boyer enlisted in Company E. 104th Pennsylvania Infantry, and during his term of service was in the battle of Petersburg. and on guard duty at Norfolk, Va. Ile received an honorable discharge at Phila- delphia at the close of the war, and returned to Blair County, Pa .. where he remained until 1867, when he came to Livingston County, and purchased the farm on which he resides on section 20.
In political matters Mr. Boyer has always acted with the Republican party, and has held the offices of School Director and Road Commissioner, be- sides several other township offices. Mr. and Mrs. Boyer both belong to the Lutheran Church, and warmly espouse the doctrines of that denomination.
LIVINGSTON COUNTY.
They have, by their own efforts. not only reared a large family. but have accumulated considerable property and placed themselves in comfortable cir- eum-tances. Mr. Boyer is a person of excellent character. and the same compliment can be paid truthfully to every member of the family.

ANIEL A. MULFORD, widely and favor- ably known throughout Round Grove Township, came with his young wife to this county thirty years ago, and estab- hshing himself among the other adventurous spirits of that day, proceeded to build up the homestead and the fortune that he now enjoys. He was equipped with all the elements essential to the sue- ces of the early settler, being stout of heart and strong of muscle, and has made for himself a good record among people who have watched his career with kindly interest, and before whom he has ac- quitted himself as an honest man and a good citi- zen.
Our subject is the second child of John M. and .Jane ( Alsdorf) Mulford, natives of Ulster County. N. Y., where they spent their lives and where their remain- now lie at rest. Ile also was born in Ulster County, Aug. 28. 1825, and with his six brothers and one sister. spent the early years of his life in hi- native county. As soon as old enough he com- menred attending the district school in winter, while in summer he assisted in the various employments connected with farm life. Ite remained a member of his father's houschold until twenty-four years of age and then immigrated to Pennsylvania, where lie remained three years, after which he came to DuPage County, this State. in 1852. There he en- gared in farming four years and in June, 1857, rune to this county and purchased a quarter section of land on section 13. Round Grove Township, which is comprised in his present homestead. There were no improvement- upon the land. not even a -helter for hi- family, and making it his first busi- new to provide a place for them, he put up a board -hanty. in the building of which he was occupied just about twelve holll' -.
Mr. Mulford experienced all the vicissitudes to
which the early settler- were subjected. Where the peaceful herds now graze, the deer and the wolf roamed unmolested hy man. Instead of the domes- tic fowl was the prairie chicken almost as tame, while the venomous rattlesnake might be found coiled on the door-sill. They frequently witnessed the grand sight of a prairie on fire so vividly de- scribed by Cooper, and also the more beautiful mirage that deludes the traveler on the plains. It is hardly necesary to say that the shanty long ago gave place to a more modern and substantial resi- dence, and in due time there grew up around it all the other necessary and convenient farm buildings. On an adjoining page is shown a view of Mr. Mul- ford's residence and its surroundings. The land is enclosed with good fences, and the live stock is in keeping with all the other appurtenances of the place.
