DAVID BRADLE.


Among the most prominent and influen- tial citizens of Olio township, Woodford county. Illinois, is the gentleman whose name introduces this biography. He was born in Stark county, Ohio, in 1850, a son of Leonard and Catharine ( Heximer ) Bradle. who were born, reared and married in Ger- many, and came to the new world in 1849 on a sailing vessel, which made the voyage in sixty-three days and landed them safely in New York. In his native land the father had followed veterinary surgery and black- smithing for eight years, and he continued to work at his trade during his residence in Ohio, where the family first located. In 1853 they came to Illinois and took up their residence in Palestine township. Woodford county, but later moved to Cruger township. where he operated rented land and worked for Mr. Meeks twenty-two years. He died in that township in 1875, while his wife died in Olio township. Woodford county, in 1886. They were among the honored and highly respected citizens of their community. In their family were six children, namely : Plebe, who married Michael Fry, of Olio township: Mrs. Kate Shuler. of Montgomery township. Woodford county; Frederick. of Palestine township: Mrs. Lizzie Baker, of the same township: John, of Cruger town- ship: David, our subject.


David Bradle was only three years old


when brought by his parents to Woodford county, and he was principally reared and educated in Cruger township. Throughout his active business life he has engaged in farming and the horse business, handling imported English draft horses for the past fourteen years. In 1881 he first came to Olio township and purchased a farm in the eastern part of it. but soon sold that place and returned to Cruger township, where he remained fourteen years. Since then he has made his home in Olio township and has im- proved a fine farm.


In Cruger township Mr. Bradle was mar- ried, in 1874. to Miss Eliza Jane Wright, a native of Olio township and a daughter of James and Sarah (Grove) Wright, who were natives of Ohio and Virginia, re- spectively, and came to Woodford county in early life, their marriage being celebrated in Olio township, where they continue to re- side. Our subject and his wife have four children, namely: Frank, who is married and lives in Olio township: James. Eliza and Maggie.


As an ardent Democrat Mr. Bradle has taken an active interest in political affairs, and has been called upon to fill several of- ficial positions of honor and trust. the duties of which he most capably discharged. In 1895 he was elected commissioner of Olio township and filled that office for three years. Here he has served on the school board three years, and while a resident of Cruger town- ship was president of the board nine years. constable four years and pathmaster seven years. He is an active member of the Lu- theran church and never withholds his sup- port from any enterprise calculated to prove of public benefit, taking a deep interest in all that pertains to the welfare of his township

and county. His genial, pleasant manner has made him quite popular both in business and social circles, and his circle of friends and acquaintances is extensive.


SYLVANUS S. ROBINSON.


Among the influential members of the farming community of Woodford county and one of its most prosperous and wealthy citizens is the gentleman whose name heads this sketch. He has been a resident of the county since 1853 and makes his home on section 11. Metamora township, where he owns and operates a valuable farm of six hundred and forty acres.


Mr. Robinson was born in Champaign county, Ohio. November 1. 1846, and traces his ancestry back to Rev. John Robinson, one of the Puritan fathers, who went from Eng- land to Holland about 1608, and was pastor of one of the early churches of that country. His great-great-grandfather was Experience Robinson, whose son. Elias Robinson, Sr .. was a native of Connecticut and a soldier of the Revolutionary war. In the family of the latter was Elias Robinson, Jr .. the grand- father of our subject. He was also born in Connecticut and was one of the defenders of his country in the war of 1812. As early as 1817 he moved to Union county, Ohio. becoming one of its pioneers. There our subject's father, George Robinson, was born in 1818, and on reaching manhood married Lorana E. Smith, a native of Champaign county, Ohio, and a daughter of Sylvanus Smith, also an early settler of Union county, having located there in 1816. George Rob- inson followed farming in Union and Cham paign counties, Ohio, for some years, and


there all of his chikiren were born. In 1853 he came west to Illinois and located in Met- amora township. Woodford county, where he owned and operated a farm of eighty acres. Ile was a successful agriculturist and had other lands besides the home farm. including two hundred and forty acres, on which our subject now resides. He died March 11. 1883, honored and respected by all who knew him. His first wife and the mother of our subject departed this life March 11, 1850, but his last wife is still liv- ing and continues to reside on the home place.


Sylvanns S. Robinson was only seven years of age when the family came to Wood- ford county, and on the okl homestead his boyhood and youth were passed. his edu- cation being acquired in the local schools and the high school at Woodstock, Ohio. On attaining his majority he commenced farming for himself upon a part of his fa- ther's land, and at the latter's death pur- chased his stepmother's interest in the two- hundred-and-forty-acre tract on which he makes his home. From time to time he has bought more land, and now has six hundred and forty acres in his farm. This place he has improved by the erection of a com- modious and pleasant residence. good and substantial barns and outbuilding -. He has set out an evergreen hedge around his lawn and has planted fruit and forest trees, mak- ing his place one of the most attractive as well as one of the best improved and most valuable farms in the township. Besides this property Mr. Robinson owns a farm of one hundred and sixty acres of land in Panola township and a well improved place of two hundred and eighty acres in Franklin county. lowa. He raises, feeds and ships stock quite extensively, and since 1885 has made a spe-

cialty of the breeding of pure blooded Gallo- way cattle, of which he has a fine herd of about one hundred head.


On the 12th of February. 1878. in Meta- mora township. Mr. Robinson was united in marriage with Miss Emma E. Wilson, a native of Woodford county, and a daughter of M. W. Wilson, whose sketch appears on another page of this volume. They have eight children living. five sons and three daughters, namely: George W., Francis M., Lewis S., Robert E., Arthur L .. Agie L., Elsie P. and Emily May. One son, Harry, died August 5, 1895. at the age of four and a half years.


In his political affiliations Mr. Robinson is a stalwart Republican, having always sup- ported that party since casting his first pres- idential ballot for General U. S. Grant in 1868. He has never cared for political pre- ferment. however, desiring rather to devote his entire time and attention to his extensive business interests. A man of keen perception and unbounded enterprise his success has been worthily achieved, and he deserves prominent mention among the leading and representative business men of the county. Ilis genial. pleasant manner has made him quite popular in both business and social circles, and as a public spirited and enter- prising man he is recognized as a valued citizen of the community.


REV. NATHANIEL S. HAYNES


One of the best known ministers of the Christian church in Illinois is the subject of this sketch, who is now serving as pastor of the Christian church in Eureka, Illinois. He was born in Washington, Mason county,


Kentucky, March 7. 1844. and is the son of James and Amanda (Hampton ) Haynes, the former a native of England, born in Sussex, near Surry, February 1. 1810, where he grew to manhood and in his youth learned the shoemaker's trade. Ile came to this country in 1832. locating in Washington, Kentucky, and there continued working at his trade in connection with mer- chandising. He became a well known and highly respected citizen of that place, and there married Miss Amanda Hampton, one of the well known family of that name, which has been very prominent in southern history. She was a daughter of James Hampton.


In 1852 James Haynes came with his family to Woodford county, Illinois, and purchased a farm adjoining the corporate limits of Eureka, where he made a home and operated an extensive farm. When he left Kentucky he bought a herd of short-horn cattle to bring with him to his new home. but sold the greater part of them before he arrived. He was an industrious and con- servative man, of the highest type of integ- rity and honor. For many years he was a member of the Christian church, and like many others residing in or near Eureka, he contributed liberally in support of the col- lege. His death occurred December 12, 1894. His widow yet lives on the farm which was so long their home and yet gives personal attention to its management. They were the parents of nine children, all of whom are liv- ing, save one.


Nathaniel S. Haynes grew to manhood in Woodford county, and was but eight years old when the family settled here. In the public schools of Eureka he received his pri- mary education, aiter which he entered Eureka College, with a view of taking the

regular course. While a student there the Civil war commenced, and in common with thousands of other young men he put aside his text books and enlisted in Company . 1. Eighty-sixth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and with his regiment went south, arriving in time to participate in the battle of Perry- ville, Kentucky. After that battle he par- ticipated in several skirmishes with the ene- my until early in 1863, when he was taken sick with typhoid fever. His recovery was very slow, and he was discharged from the service and sent home. Recovering his health, in the spring of 1864 he again enlist- ed, becoming a member of Company .A. One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and continued to serve until his regiment was mustered out of service, the greater part of the time being on detached service in the United States government telegraph office in Cairo, Illinois.


After receiving his discharge Mr. Haynes returned home and resumed his studies in the college, from which he was graduated in 1867, with the degree of A. B. He then went to Kansas, Illinois, and was there prin- cipal of the public schools for one year. In June. 1868. he received the degree of . 1. 31., and at the same time was ordained to the ministry, having for a time previous been engaged in preaching the gospel. His first pastorate was for the Christian church at Kansas, Illinois, where he had been engaged in teaching. While in that place he did much evangelistic work in the surrounding country and was instrumental in bringing many into the church of Christ.


Wishing to further qualify himself for his life work he entered Kentucky University and spent the school year of 1809-70. Jn 1872, the year of the Peace Jubilee. he went to Prince Edwards Island and spent


three months and a half in evangelistic work. In . August, 1873, he received a call from the Christian church at Decatur, Illinois, to be- come its pastor, and at once entered upon the work. The Decatur church was small at that time, but while he remained there it grew in numbers and in spiritual strength, and a new house of worship was built and paid for. He remained with the church as pastor until 1880, leaving it in a prosperous condition. lle resigned that he might accept the position of corresponding secretary of the Illinois Christian Missionary Society, and served in that office in a most acceptable manner until 1886, in the meantime making his home in Decatur. While serving in that office he traveled in all parts of the state and gave his undivided time to the subject of missions and preaching of the gospel of Christ. Those acquainted with his work give him the credit of putting more enthu- siasm into the missionary work of the state than had heretofore been accomplished by any other man. In that work he showed re- markable executive ability and accomplished much for the cause of the Master. On the Ist of September. 1886, he resigned the vi- fice that he might accept the call to the pas- torate of the Christian church of Peoria, 11- lmois, where he labored until March 1, 1892. That was a time for development for the church at that place, and under the pastorate of Mr. Haynes the congregation grew in munnbers and in grace, bought a lot, built and paid for a missionary chapel in the lower part of the city, organized a mission Sun- day school, and raised several thousand dol- lars for a building fund.


In March, 1802, Mr. Haynes removed to Englewood and became pastor of the church at that place, the house of worship being near the corner of Sixty-fourth street and

THE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.


Eggleston avenue. He remained with that church until October 1. 1898, during which time an addition to the church was built and the congregation grew in numbers, becom- ing one of the best Christian churches in Chicago. The field in which he labored was a hard one to cultivate, but he toiled on with faith in the general outcome, and left the church in a flourishing condition. Novem- ber I. 1898, he came to Eureka as pastor of his old home church, in which he entered upon the Christian race. He has now been with it for about two years, and it can truthfully be said that notwithstanding the church has been ministered unto by some of tlie ablest men in the brotherhood, none have been more acceptable to the members and friends than N. S. Haynes.


On the 20th of November, 1874. Mr. Haynes was united in marriage with Miss Rose Frazier, of Paris, Illinois, daughter of John Frazier, one of the pioneer settlers of Edgar county, Illinois. By this union have been born two daughters, Rose and Ethel.


Fraternally Mr. Haynes is a member of Dan Miles Post. G. A. R., of Eureka. He was also a member of Bryner Post. No. 67. of Peoria, and served as its commander for one year and chaplain for four years. While in Chicago he was a member of the George G. Meade Post, No. 444, and served as chaplain for three years. For thirty years he has served as one of the trustees of Eureka College, and in that time has done much to advance its interests. He has been a frequent contributor to the periodical literature of the Christian church for many years, and his contributions are read with interest and profit by all. He is logical and clear cut in all his utterances and no hearer or reader but understands what he is aiming at in his speech. Few


men have a more terse way of stating a proposition. Strong in the faith, he labors for the good of humanity and the upbuilding of the cause of Christ.


SNYDER BROTHERS.


The firm of Snyder Brothers, grain, coal and lumber dealers of Metamora, is but a recent acquisition to the goodly array of progressive business men in that thriving town, but their ability, enterprise and up- right methods have already established for them an enviable reputation. Although the brothers are still young men, their popularity is established on a firm basis-that of their . own well-tested merit.


John Snyder, father of our subject, was born in Germany in October. 1819. and was a son of Nicholas Snyder, also a native of Germany and of German ancestry. The latter followed the miller's trade in his na- tive land until 1828, when he emigrated to America with his wife and children, and first located in Pennsylvania, where he re- sided for some years. In 1855 he came west to Illinois and took up a claim in Woodford county near the present village of Spring Bay. Later he purchased more land and became one of the prosperous farmers of the county.


John Snyder was only six years of age when he came with the family to the United States and in Pennsylvania he grew to man- hood. At the age of sixteen he commenced earning his own livelihood, and, saving his money, he was at length able to purchase a tract of land in Partridge township. Wood- ford county, upon which he erected a log house, making it his home while he broke and improved his land. After residing there

for a number of years he bought a well im- proved farm in Metamora township in 1874. and continued to successfully engage in agri- cultural pursuits throughout life. becoming one of the substantial farmers of his com- munity. He died September 4. 1894. hon- ored and respected by all who knew him. He was twice married, his first wife being Susan Caldwell a native of Ohio, by whom he had one daughter. Ellen. . His second wife was Lovina Baker, a native of Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, and a daughter of Chauncey Baker, who was also born in that state and was one of the first settlers of Woodford county, Illinois. By this union were born three children: Susan, wife of Orrin Kern, a business man of Washington. Illinois; and John C. and Simeon, who con- stitute the firm of Snyder Brothers. The mother is still living and now makes her home with Simeon in Metamora.


John C. Snyder, the senior member of the firm of Snyder Brothers, was born in Part- ridge township, Woodford county, AAugust 23. 1873. and received his education in the home schools. He assisted his father in the labors of the farm until the latter's death. when he and his brother took charge of that place and carried it on until coming to Meta- mora in April. 1899. Here they embarked in the grain, lumber and coal business under the firm name of Snyder Brothers, and have already built up an excellent trade. They own a good elevator for the storage of their grain and carry a good stock of humber and all kinds of building material. They are enterprising, wide-awake young business men and by fair and honorable dealing have gained a liberal share of the public patron- age. On the Ist of March, 1898. John (. Snyder was married, in Metamora, to Miss Myrtle Owen, who was born, reared and ed-


Heated in Cazenovia township. Woodford county, successfully engaged in teaching for a time and served as postmistress of Metamora for four years, being appointed to that office during President Cleveland's second term. Her father. D. M. Owen, was a substantial farmer and business man of Woodford county and served one term as sheriff and later as deputy sheriff. Ilis last days were spem in Metamora, where he ched July 23. 1900. Mr. and Mrs. Snyder have a pleasant home in Metamora, which he erected.


Simeon Snyder, the junior member of the firm, was born on the old homestead in Metamora township June 27. 1877, and be- gan his education in the district schools of that locality, later attending the Metamora high school and the State University at Champaign, where he finished his studies in the spring of 1808. For a year he de- voted his attention to farming and then em- barked in his present business at Metamora. In that city he was married. June 27. 1900, to Miss Bertha Isch, a daughter of John . 1. Isch, of Metamora. She is a native of Switzerland, but was principally reared and educated in this country. The home of the young couple is a modern structure and one of the best in the town. Politically the brothers are identified with the Democratic party, but have never taken an active part in public affairs.
