ohn Melloy, dealer in wood and coal and drayman at Cambridge, was born Sept. 2, 1832, in Bedford Co., Pa. In the paternal line of descent he is of Irish extraction, his grandfather, Hugh Melloy, having been a na- tive of the Green Isle. The latter came when a young man to the continent of America and located in Huntingdon Co., Pa. He passed the remainder of his life in the vocation of a farnier there. His son, William Melloy, was born in Bedford, Bedford County, and is yet living, at the age of 73. He was a blacksmith by occupation, and married Catherine Hoop. She is still living. The ten children born of this marriage are named Elizabeth, John, Catherine, Ellen, George (deceased), Biven, William (deceased), Susie, David and a daughter, who is deceased.
Mr. Melloy was educated in the county where he was born, and on arriving at a suitable age he en- gaged in the business of a farmer, and was there married. He remained in the State of his nativity until his removal in November, 1869, to Henry County. He made a location in the township of Atkinson, but only remained there until the spring ensuing, when he came to Cambridge and embarked in the business which has been mentioned at the beginning of this personal account.
He formed a matrimonial contract with Catherine Kertz, a native of Bedford Co., Pa., and the daughter of Robert and Rachel (Clark) Kertz. Mr. and Mrs. Melloy are the parents of five children, viz. : Emma, who is the wife of Mr. McFarland, of Iowa; Robert WV., Nellie, John and Annie. The latter is the wife of John Kookes.

Evans Ellingsworth, both of whom were natives of Maryland. The family removed to Illinois in 1845. They embarked on a steamer for the city of Philadelphia, and went thence by rail to Pitts-
burg, whence they came on the river route to Rock Island. The father bought land in the township of Moline, and there pursued farming three years. At the end of that time he made a change of location, going to Pleasant Valley, in Hampton Township. The homestead was there maintained until 1862, when another removal was made to Hanna Town- ship. - Some years later the senior Ellingsworth went to Geneseo to pass the closing years of his life and is still resident there.
Mr. Ellingsworth of this sketch was reared on the farm and has been familiar with the details of the business which he has made the vocation of his life since he was old enough to have an understanding of his obligation to the work of the world. He was an attendant at the common school, and obtained such education as the time and place afforded.

Y., March 23, 1802. The latter grew to manhood on the farm of his father, where he was born, and was sent to the public schools to obtain such educa- tion as was possible at that period.

She was born in the same county. In the summer
705
HENRY COUNTY.
of 1835 they removed with their family to Ohio, and located in the vicinity of Cleveland. After a brief stay there they went thence to Detroit, Mich., where they continued to remain until the year that has been mentioned as that in which they came to Illinois. The removal from Michigan to Illinois was accom- plished in the manner common in those days, with teams. On the road the mother was seized with sudden illness, and died of heart disease. She was buried at a place 25 miles east of Chicago. She left three children, the oldest of whom was but seven years old.
They came to Henry County in the fall, and the father made a claim on the southwest quarter of sec- tion 21, in township 18. (In that way the township of Loraine was designated on the charts of the sur- veyors before the Government of the United States placed the land in market.) That tract was not long in the possession of the senior Kemmis, and he bought another on section 10 of the same township. Of the latter he was the resident owner and occupant until his demise, which occurred in 1858. His wife died in 1837. In 1850 he was again married to Susanna Robinson. She is his survivor, and occu- pies a portion of the homestead estate. Of the first marriage three children were born: Thompson A. lives in Montana ; Lydia R. is not living.
Mr. Kemmis, of this narration, is the youngest. He was a child of three months when his parents re- moved to Ohio, and of course accompanied them on their several removals. He followed in the steps of his father in the matter of bringing up and educa- tion. He was married Dec. 9, 1858, to Nancy Blair. She is a native of Detroit, Mich. They settled on the homestead property, and have always been resi- dents thereon ever since. He has erected the buildings he occupies and utilizes in his farming.

The father of John S. Long, Jacob, was a native of
the same State as his son. He was a mechanic and was the sixth child and second son of Jacob Long, Sr., who was born in Germany, and of German pa- rentage. Jacob, Sr., emigrated to this country with his parents when he was a small boy, settling with them in western Pennsylvania, where he was mar- ried to a Miss Crousier, who was born in Pennsyl- vania. Her father was a farmer. The grandfather, Jacob, Sr., died there and some 25 years later the grandmother followed him to the land of the here- after. Jacob Long, Jr., father of our subject, had learned the trade of grain cradle-making, which he followed with no small degree of success the major portion of his life. He was united in marriage at Clarksburg, Indiana Co., Pa., in 1830, with Barbara Shirley, a native of that county. Her father Thomas, and her mother Polly (Miller) Shirley, were of Irish and German extraction, and her father was a farmer by occupation. The grandfather of Thomas Shirley, whose name was also Thomas, was a soldier during the entire period of the Revolutionary War. The grandparents of Mrs. Long died at Clarksburg, Indiana Co., Pa .; the grandfather in May, 1776, and the grandmother the same hear.

The mother is yet living and resides with her younger son, Matthias A., in Liberty, Gage Co., Neb., aged 74 years. She is the mother of ten children, eight sons and two daughters, all of whom are living except one, who died in Ander- sonville prison. Another son was in the army and has from some cause or other not been heard from since he entered the service. The family still live in hope that he does not lie beneath the ground in one of the unnumbered and unknown graves of Union soldiers at the South.
John S. Long, subject of this notice, resided at home, attending the common schools and assisting on the farm until he was 19 years of age. In March, 1854, he came to this State and located in Rock Island County, where for a time he worked as a gen- eral laborer.

Immediately on his arrival he purchased 160 acres of land, located on section 16, the same being the southeast quarter of that section. The land was partly improved, and he entered upon the task of its cultivation, determined to establish a home, which determination has been fulfilled ; and his farm to-day presents the appearance of thrift and good agricultural judgment, and is one of the best farms in the township. By energetic effort, good judgment and economy, he has added to his landed interests 120 acres, which lies adjoining his original purchase, and also 80 acres of timber land in Mercer County.
Mr. Long formed a matrimonial alliance May 21, 1862, at Geneseo, this county, with Miss Nancy J. Fleming. She was born at New Paris, Ohio, June 13, 1837, and is the daughter of Alexander and Nancy M.
