Northcott Chapel was built in 1854, at a cost of $500, and dedicated by Harden Wallace, June, 1854, for the Methodist denomination. The board of trustees were, at the time of organization : Thomas Orr, Simeon Fitch, and John Havard. At the time of the organization the church numbered about fifty members, and Thomas Orr was class-leader, John Havard and Simeon Fitch stewards. Benj. Northcott was the first regular preacher, and presided over the church for two years; then Rev. Mr. Chapman one year. James Dimmett had charge of the church for two years, he was an excellent minister and left behind him a good many friends. Rev. R. W. Read had charge two years, Rev. Mr. Taylor one year, Rev. Mr. Evans one year, Rev. Curtis Powell two years, Rev. James Cabrie two years, Rev. C. Atkinson one year, Rev. Wingate Newman three years, then Rev. G. M. Spencer took charge of the church and stayed the full time allowed by the conference. It would be hard to say where to commence to enlogize him, for his whole life was devoted to the cause of Christ and his brethren. He died February 3, 1879, at Lima, Adams county, Ill. Rev. Mr. Drok is the present minister. He is well liked and labors hard for his church and the good he can do for the cause of Christ. At the present writing only a few of its old members are living. Among them are Thomas Orr and wife, Mrs. Havard, Simeon Fitch and wife, and Elder Orr and wife. Among a few of the dead are Wm. Orr, John Havard, Mrs. Mckinney, and Mrs. Bonham. The present board of trustees are Thomas Orr, W. R. Spink, M. F. Behimer, Miles Forgey, B. L. Bonham, J. M. Doran, John Gager, Mr. Beard, and Wm. Likes. The class-leaders are F. M. Behimer, Miles Forgey, W. R. Spink, and Wm. Likes.

URSA TOWNSHIP.

This is one of the river-bordering townships, lying south of Lima, west of Mendon and north of Ellington. It is considerably larger than the regular Congressional size, and embraces part of 1 north, S west, and 1 north, 9 west, having an area of about fifty square miles. The west line follows the irregularities of the Mississippi, and the north line the mean- derings of Bear creek. It was originally nearly all a timbered country, and is composed of table or bluff and bottom lands, in the proportion of two- thirds of the former to one-third of the latter. The uplands are beautifully undulating, and are among the very finest farming lands in Illinois. Sev- eral creeks and numerous springs supply an abundance of water. The principal creeks are: Rock, which flows across the township from the east, a mile or so from its south line; Ursa, which rises in Mendon and flows west through the center; and Bear, which forms the north boundary line. The bottom lands of Ursa are large, above high water mark, and much of them are under cultivation, and include some of the valuable farms of the county.

HISTORY OF ADAMS COUNTY.

The Carthage branch of the C., B. & Q. R. R. extends through the township near the eastern border, with a station at Ursa village, thus fur- nishing the Ursaites a thoroughfare of communication with Quincy and the great outside world.

Samuel Groshong, George Campbell and William Worley, who came in 1825, were the first white settlers in Ursa. Mr. Groshong settled in the south part of the township, on Rock creek, where he built the first cabin; George Campbell on the northwest quarter of section 31; and Mr. Worley on section 18, on the farm where Wm. McAdams now lives. The following year Robt. Beatty settled in the north part, on Bear creek, and Stanford and Steadman Smith (brothers) settled a mile and a half northwest of the site of Ursa village. In April, 1827, George Fraizer and his son James B .- now the oldest living male pioneer in the township-settled on the northwest quarter of section 31. The second marriage license issued in Adams county was to George Campbell and Mary Groshong They were married Ang. 18, 1825, by Willard Keyes, county commissioner; the first being David Ray and Rachel Thomas, daughter of John Thomas, who were mar- ried July 26, 1825, by Peter Journey, county commissioner. The first birth in Ursa was Andrew J., son of George Campbell, in the summer of 1827. The first death was Thomas Campbell, George Campbell's father. Peter Vannerst opened the first store in the township in what is now known as "Old Ursa," in 1828. His stock of goods consisted of a barrel of whiskey, two barrels of salt and a few sacks of flour. He continued busi- ness, with a growing stock, for many years, and acccumulated a compe- tency, when he retired and went to California, where he remained till his death in 1876. Joel Fraizer, brother of James B., taught the first school, in the fall of 1828, in a little log school-house erected that year, the first in the township, on the northeast quarter of section 31, 1 north, 8 west. A. W. Shinn taught the second term soon after in the same house. The first religious society in the township was organized at the residence of Rev. Stephen Ruddell, on section 18, by himself and Rev. Jesse Bowles, in 1833 or 34, with seven charter members: Stephen Ruddell and wife, Jesse Bowles and wife, Sarah Crawford, Mary Riddle and Elizabeth Stone. Two years after they erected the first house for worship on Mr. Ruddell's farm, he donating the lot, the same on which their present fine frame edifice stands. The first mill was a horse mill built and run by David Metcalf, in 1829. The first frame building was erected by Peter Vannerst, the merchant, in 1830; he was also the first post-master when the post-office was established by Hon. Richard M. Johnson, who gave it the name of Ursa. Although Mr. Vannerst for many years kept a store at that point, and was succeeded by the firm of J. M. Rumbaugh & H. S. Loucks, who conducted a general merchandising for a number of years, and it was the seat of the post-office, and had a place of entertainment known as the Ursa House, still "Old Ursa" never was regularly laid out as a village. Since its namesake was founded, in 1875, it, being less than a mile north and a railroad station, has sapped what vitality there was in the old place; so that it might truly say-if dead things ever talk-" I once lived and hoped, but one fine morning a railroad came along and I DIED."

In 1875 William B. Smith sold off acre lots at the crossing of the pub- lic road leading from Quincy to Warsaw and the C., B. & Q. R. R. Carthage branch, to Rumbaugh & Loucks, O. W. Thompson and L. K. Rudolph, who all erected buildings thereon. Rumbaugh & Loucks erected a large two-

story frame building for store and hall, and two dwellings, and moved their business from " Old Ursa;" the others, being mechanics, built houses and shops. W. Shaw and M. Fawbush have fitted up a fine steam mill, with three sets of burrs and the most approved machinery, and opened for business in May, 1879; a new building is being completed for a drug store, and it now has the post-office, and the Christian church edifice is within its limits. Thus the young Ursa, being the first station north of Quincy, is a full- fledged railroad town with a future before it.

The village of Marcelline is situated in the northern extremity of Ursa township, three miles north of Ursa, on section 31, 2 north, 8 west, and is a place of about one hundred inhabitants. It was laid out by S. M. Jenkins, abont 1842. Thomas Payne, of Ellington, made two additions to the original plat, the last in 1849. A man named Wade was the first set- tler on the site of the town; he came there as early as 1830. John W. McFaddon settled there and started a store with a stock of general mer- chandise some years before the place was laid ont. William Price and Thomas Payne each sold goods there years ago. Marcelline now has two general stores, owned by George Walker, present supervisor, and Thomas Leachman and George Mclaughlin, a fine three-story brick building, the basement of which is used for town and church purposes, the Methodist Episcopal, Methodist Protestant and Christians worshiping in it alter- nately: the second story is occupied for a school-house, and the upper one as a Masonic hall. The village also has mechanical shops, such as wagon- making, blacksmithing, etc. The Christian society worshiping there organized in April, 1879, with eighty-nine members. Both of the Metho- dist societies have a good membership and are prosperous. The old Christian society at Ursa is perhaps the strongest religious organization in the town- ship; before the new church at Marcelline was organized it numbered more than 200; it has a prosperous, working Sunday-school of sixty scholars, and contributes over $700 annually for church purposes.

The Free Baptists have a stone church building on the Warsaw road, a mile and a half from Ursa, but the society is not numerous nor very active.

The Methodist Protestants organized a church in Ursa with nine char- ter members, in the spring of 1879. Having not yet a house they meet in Rumbaugh & Loncks' hall.

The staple product of Ursa is wheat, in the production of which it is not excelled by the same area of territory in this part of the State. Con- siderable attention is also paid to the culture of Indian corn and fruits. The soil is exceedingly fertile and well adapted to a variety of crops. It is thickly settled, and with its fine improvements and varying landscape of smiling fields and inviting woodlands presents a scene of rare beauty and wealth.

QUINCY NATIONAL GUARDS.

Pursuant to a call for a meeting of those interested in the formation of a military com- pany, some fifty persons met at the rooms of the Citizens' Association, on the evening of October 9, 1872. Gen. John Tillson was called to the chair, and E. B. Hamilton was made secretary.

A motion to proceed to the formation of an independent military company was carried; a committee appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws; to report a name, and the cost of uniforms. Forty-three names were enrolled.

An adjourned meeting, for the final organization of the company, was held at the same place, October 16; and the report of the Committee on Constitution and By-Laws adopted ; and the organization named Quincy National Guards. The following officers were selected for the ensuing year :

James B. Cahill, Captain ; Elisha B. Hamilton, 1st Lieutenant; Gran M. Evatt, 2d Lieutenant; John Tillson, Quartermaster; George W. Burns, Commissary; C. H. Morton, Surgeon; Rev. Sidney Corbett, Chaplain; J. B. Gilpin, Q. M. Sergeant; G. W. Fogg, Com. Sergeant.

The following winter the company received from the State sixty stand of Enfield rifles. January 9, 1874, Capt. J. B. Cahill died. January 17, following, a meeting was held at the office of Wheat, Ewing & Hamilton, to pass resolutions respecting the death of Capt. Cahill. It was then decided to take active steps under the company organization.

Shortly after, a room was obtained in the Powers building to be used for drill purposes. In the following spring, the company occupied Ridder's hall as an armory.

At the election, May 1, 1874, the following officers were elected: Gen. John Tillson, Captain ; E. B. Hamilton, 1st Lieutenant; Charles U. Colburn, 2d Lieuienant; George W. Fogg, Quartermaster; Warren DeCrow, Commissary : C. H. Morton, Surgeon ; and the Rev. F. L. Hosmer, Chaplain.

In May of that year, fifty-six uniforms were purchased, and the company made its first public parade on the occasion of the decoration ceremonies, on May 30, 1874.

As the guests of Company A, St. Louis National Guards, the company participated in the ceremonies of the opening of the St. Louis bridge, at St. Louis, July 4, 1874. On the eve of the company's departure for St. Louis, an elegant silk flag was presented by its lady friends. The presentation ceremony took place in Washington Square, on the afternoon of the 3d of July, 1874.

In the Fall of 1874, the company received from the State eighty stand of new Spring- field breech-loading rifle muskets, and, as ordered, turned their old guns over to the Quincy Veterans.

At the May election, 1875, the following officers were elected: Gen. John Tillson, Cap- tain ; E. B. Hamilton, 1st Lieutenant; C. S. Hickman, 2d Lieutenant; George W. Fogg, Quartermaster; C. U. Colburn, Commissary ; W. DeCrow, Surgeon; and the Rev. Edward Anderson, Chaplain.

April 15, 1876, the company became a corporation, under the name of Quincy National Guard Association.

562

HISTORY OF ADAMS COUNTY.

At the May election for 1876, E. B. Hamilton was elected Captain; Robert E. Coxe, 1st Lieutenant, and C. S. Hickman, 2d Lieutenant.

By General Order No. 3, from Adjutant General's office, of date of December 21, 1875, assigning to their respective regiments the various companies in the State, this company was assigned to the Fourth Regiment Illinois State Guards.

Early in the present year a meeting of the officers of the various companies composing the Fourth Regiment, was, by order of Adjt .- Gen. H. Hilliard, directed to be held at Peoria, for regimental organization and election of regimental officers.

At the meeting held in Peoria, an order was made by the Adjutant General, revoking the order assigning the company to the Fourth, and assigning it to the Eighth Regiment.

UNIFORM.

The uniform of the Association is, substantially, the same as that worn by the Thir- teenth Regiment of the National Guard of the State of New York. It consists of dress coat and pantaloons of Cadet grey, cut to measure. The coat, Privates', has skirt faced with black; the breast and collar are trimmed with black cord : it has three rows of Illinois State pattern gilt buttons on the breast, and buttons on skirt and cuffs. Trowsers, Privates', has black stripe, 112 inches wide, down the outer seam. Hats, dress, Thirteenth Regiment pat- tern, have gilt ornament and letters Q. G., and white cock's fountain plume.

Non-commissioned officers' uniform is same as Privates', except they wear grey, white and bullion epaulets, and have gold chevrons on black cloth. Officers' uniforms are the same as Privates', except they are ornamented with gold braid instead of black cord, and the coat has a gold star and bars on skirt facing, and gold bars on cuffs. The sword and belt are U. S. A. regulation. The cap is like Privates', except that it has three rows of gold lace and large white fountain plume.

The National Guards were sworn into the Illinois State Guards under the military code, July 24th, 1877, as Company D, Sth Regiment I. N. G., numbering forty-two enlisted men. They were ordered out by the governor, and participated in putting down the riot at East St. Louis, doing very effective service. Capt. E. B. Hamilton commanding the Eighth Regiment, 1st Lieutenant, Robert E. Coxe, took command of the company. They partici- pated in the grand review in St. Louis after the close of the campaign, being the guests of Company A, St. Louis National Guards. Upon the reorganization of the Eighth Regiment, C. S. Hickman was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel of the regiment; A. W. Littleton was elected to fill the vacaney; Capt. E. B. Hamilton resigned and accepted a position on the governor's staffas Chief of Artillery, ranking as Brigadier-General. Robt. E.Coxe was elected Captain, and H. C. Nichols, 1st Lieutenant, to fill vacancies.

The company participated in the prize drills at the Quincy fair, in 1876, taking first prize, the Quincy Veterans being their contestants; also at Quincy fair in 1877, taking sec- ond prize, the Keokuk Junction Guards being contestants: also at the Adams county fair at Camp Point in 1878, taking first prize, the Camp Point Guards, Keokuk Junction Guards, and Clayton Guards being contestants. The company has over one hundred honorary mem- bers, business men of the city of Quincy and vicinity.

The active members of the company are young, energetic men of the city, many of them leading business men ; they drill every Monday night. Their armory is open to the public, and they have extended general invitations to the friends of the company to visit their armory on their drill nights and see them. Their armory is nicely arranged, having a ladies' parlor, gun-room, dining-room and drill-room, with all necessary conveniences. The walls are beautifully decorated with flags, spears, shields, battle axes, etc.

THE QUINCY VETERAN GUARDS

Are an offspring of the "Quincy Veteran Corps and Aid Society," which organization was formed in the Fall of 1874, and continued as such until August, 1877, when, owing to the fact that a regular militia was being formed all over the State of Illinois, and independent military companies could no longer procure arms from the State, a reorganization was necessitated, the new company adopting the name of The Quincy Veteran Guards, and, after being regularly mustered, were assigned the position of Company B, Eighth Regiment, Illinois National Guard, which position they still occupy.

The purpose for which the "Quincy Veteran Corps and Aid Society" was originally organized may be learned from the following

PREAMBLE :

" To promote association and fellowship among the soldiers of the late war; to keep alive the recollections connected therewith; to protect each other's interests; to do suitable hon- ors to the memories of our deceased comrades, and to aid their families in the hour of ad- versity, sickness or death ; and to establish in connection therewith an independent military organization."

The first civil officers of the " Veteran Corps" were:

President-Ed. Cleveland, Treasurer-John Wich, Secretary-Henry A. Dix.

Vice-President-Jacob Bard,

The first military officers were :

Captain-William Sommerville. 1st Lieutenant-Francis Aid.

2d Lieutenant-James J. Sweeney. Quartermaster-Capt. V. Kochanvnski.

Succeeding the above military officers were:

Captain -- R. R. McMullen. 1st Lieutenant-Francis Aid. 2d Lieutenant-F. B. Nichols

The next officers elected were:

Captain-Tom J. Heirs. 1st Lieutenant-Richard Hobert. 2d Lieutenant-Jacob Bard.

It will probably be well to state that until the reorganization in August, 1877, none were eligible to membership excepting persons who had served in the Union army during the late rebellion. Under the present organization all able-bodied men between the ages of eighteen and forty, of good moral character, are eligible to membership.

The officers elected at the reorganization, Aug. 17, 1877, were:

Captain-Charles Bork. 1st Lieutenant-H. A. Dix. 2d Lieutenant-J. F. Mayback

The following is a "roster" of officers and members of the "Quincy Veteran Guards," May 20th, 1879:

KEOKUK JUNCTION GUARDS.

The first effort at a cultivation of the military spirit among the adult population of this town occurred in 1874. Previous to that the military ardor of youth had been fostered in some degree by their elders in the customary forerunner of most militia organizations, a boy's company ; but during the latter part of that summer a number of men were drilled by Col. Hanna, to prepare them to do escort duty in October at the reunion held here of the 56th and 78th Illinois Volunteers. This was strictly temporary and informal.

In the following year, 1875, an organization was effected, when William Hanna was elected Captain ; Cornelius Hennirk, 1st Lieutenant; and H. E. Selby, 2d Lieutenant. With this organization drill was practised faithfully and with interest, a neat, cheap, "fatigue " uniform purchased, and arms obtained from the State, preparatory to a second " reunion" of the "old soldiers" during that autumn. In February, 1876, upon the first organization of the 8th Regiment, Capt. Hanna was elected and commissioned Colonel, and Lieut. Hennirk, Adjutant. In the company, Lieut. Selby was elected and commissioned Captain.

In July, 1877, the new State militia law rendering a new organization advisable, Col. Hanna resigned his position in the regiment, and Capt. Selby his in the company, and Col. Hanna was re-elected and commissioned Captain of the company. Not long after this reorganization the remarkable riots occurred so universal over the country, making it need . ful to obtain military aid, and Capt. Hanna's company was called with the regiment, and passed a week on duty in the field, taking a prominent and active part in the suppression of the East St. Louis riots; so prominent, in fact, that in September following, upon the reorganization of the 8th Regiment, Capt. Hanna was almost unanimously re-elected Col- onel, and Capt. Selby, Adjutant, again dismembering the company and requiring still another reorganization.

The following is the result of that reorganization, with a full roster of Company E of the 8th Regiment of the Illinois National Guard, popularly known as Keokuk Junction Guards :

Captain-Cornelius Hennirk. 1st Lieutenant-James A. Beckett.
