He learned the business of tin- ner in 1856 and has been engaged in that business until elected to his present office : he was elected by 800 majority, the largest ever given for that office in this city.


RALSTON HON. JAMES H., was born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, in 1807. Soon after attaining his majority he removed to Quincy, Ills., and entered upon the practice of law. He served in the Black Hawk war. Subsequently he represented his district in the State House of Represen- tatives at a time when Lincoln, Douglas, Hardin, Shields, and Col. Baker were mem- bers of the legislature. In 1837 he was elected Circuit Judge, resigning, however, after two years service. In 1841 he was elected to the State Senate.

Soon after the close of the Mexican war he removed to Cal- ifornia, and was a member of its first State

Senate. In 1856 he was a candidate for the Chief Justiceship of California, but defeated. In 1860 he removed to Nevada, and occu- pied a prominent position in that state until 1864, when he died, near Austin, Nevada.


In 1833 he married the daughter of Col. Alexander, a well-known citizen of Adams county. This lady died prior to Mr. Rals- ton's removal to California. In 1853 he married Harriet Jackson, daughter of Rev. Aaron Jackson, formerly the Baptist clergy. man of Quincy. One son by this marriage is living, Mr. J. H. Ralston, now practicing law in Quincy.


RALSTON JOSEPH N., deceased ; was the son of a farmer of Bourbon County. Ky., where he was born, Jan. 25, 1801. Here his early life was passed, chiefly in agricul- tural pursuits, and here he married a Miss Grant, who died after bearing him three children. Of these, one son only, Virgil Y. Ralston, lived to manhood. He inherited much of his father's ability, and on the eve of the breaking out of the rebellion, as editor of the Quincy Whig, had achieved a reputa- tion as a vigorous and brilliant writer. In- heriting also the patriotism of his sire, on the outbreak of the war he entered the army as a Captain in the 16th Regt. Ill. Inf., but failing health compelled him to resign. Having partially recovered, he re-entered the service in an Iowa regiment, and died in the prime of life, at Jefferson Barracks, of dis- ease contracted in the field.


On the death of Virgil's mother, his father turned his attention to scientific pursuits, attended medical lectures at Lexington, Ky., and in 1832 removed to Quincy and entered upon the practice of medicine.


In 1837 he married Miss Margaretta Mitch- ell, who survives him. Of the seven children of this union two died in infancy. Five daughters are still living.


Dr. Ralston continued the practice of medi- cine until the last year of his life, dying in June, 1876. Of his eminence in the profes- sion it is sufficient to say that for more than forty years he held a leading position among the physicians of Quincy and Adams coun- ty. He was one of the founders and the first president of the Adams County Medical Society, and was at several subsequent per- iods re-elected to that position. From its organization, in 1850, until the year of his


death, he generally held some office of honor or trust in the society.


Weighted down through his long life with the cares and anxieties of the most exacting of professions, he never forgot the duties of a citizen, maintaining to the last his interest in public affairs. He served in the City Council in the earlier history of the city, when he could do so without neglecting his practice, and only once, later, gave himself a brief respite from professional duties when appointed by the President, in 1868, one of the visitors to the Military Academy at West Point.


He was keenly alive to the educational interests of his adopted home. and had a leading part in inducing Catherine Beecher to establish a school in QuiLey, now many years ago. Later he took part in establish- ing Quiney College, under the control of the Methodist Church, with which he was always actively identified, and was one of the trus- tees of that institution.


For many years he was an active Mason ; was one of the founders of Bodley Lodge No. 1, of Quiney, and participated in the establishment of the Grand Lodge of Illi- nois, in which body he attained to the rank of Junior Grand Warden. He was devoted to the fraternity to the last, and was buried with its rites.


Identified with every movement promising to promote the publie welfare, enjoying a leading social position, and maintaining always a large practice, probably no man in Quincy has ever had so extensive an acquain- tance among all classes of its people as he.


He was rather tall and spare in figure, dig- nified'in carriage, courteous almost to punc- tiliousness in manner, clean and precise in speech. Self-poised, keen in his perceptions, steadfast in his convictions, sagacious in counsel, the sturdy virtues which command- ed for him universal respect, were rooted in a kind and strongly sympathetic nature, which won the enduring love of kindred and the affectionate regard of those to whom he min- istered.


Two brothers of Dr. Ralston formerly lived in Quincy, Judge James H., Ralston, who removed to, and died in, California, and Wil- liam H. Ralston, now a prominent citizen of Leavenworth, Kansas.

HON. THOMAS REDMOND,


(deceased) ; was born in Kilkenny, Ireland, about 1804; came to the United States when 16 years of age, and located in Ver- mont. He began the battle of life in the New World dependent entirely upon . his own resources. He spent a number of years in the New England States actively em- ployed at whatever work offered. He mar- ried Mary Dunlevy in Boston, and immedi- ately started for St. Louis to seek a home and a fortune in the grand Mississippi Val- ley. After visiting several points higher up the river, he decided to settle in Quincy, and landed here July 3, 1837. Mr. Red- mond had little else than willing hands and a fine practical business talent to start with in the young city, but enterprise and un- flinching integrity rapidly won friends and started him on the high road to success. Having accumulated a little ready money,

when the Northern Cross Railroad was be- ing constructed between Quincy and Clay- ton, he secured a contract, bought horses and carts, and, in company with Will- iam Shannahan and Samuel Holmes, ex- ecuted the work at a good profit. He con- tinned as a contractor for a number of years, the firm at different times being known as Holmes, Redmond & Shannahan. Redmond, Dunlevy & Co., Redmond, Pow. ers & Smith, and Redmond & Holmes. He invested his growing capital in real estate in and near Quincy, thereby laying the foundation for his large fortune. In 1848, having extensive financial interests in the city, he was elected a member of the City Council, and filled the office so satisfactorily that he was re-elected and held the position for many years. He was chosen Mayor to fill the vacancy caused by I. O. Woodruff's resignation in 1860, and so acceptably did he perform the executive duties that he was re-elected three consecutive years following, making a term of service as Alderman and Mayor of twenty-one years. He resigned the office of Mayor in 1864 to accept a seat in the State Legislature, where he honored his position. At the expiration of the term Mr. Redmond devoted his attention to private business; but the people, not will- ing to dispense with his valuable services, some years later elected him Supervisor-at- Large, as a member of which Board he manifested his usual zeal and ability in the interests of his constituency. From that to his death, which occurred Dec. 20, 1878, he was chiefły occupied in looking after his large estate. Among his many sterling qualities, none shone brighter than his ac- tive benevolence. His heart and his purse were ever open to the petitions of the de- serving poor and the suffering. Although his charities were many and liberal. and be- stowed regardless of race or color, they were entirely without ostentation or display, the glad recipients seldom knowing from whom the blessings came.


His wife preceded him several years across the " dark river." He left a family of three sons and four daughters, James, Mrs. Margaret Dick, Pat. H., Mrs. E. J. Williams, Katie C., Thomas and Mollie G. Redmond.
