EDEN


Rev. Samuel Wylie purchased und located upon the site of Eden, in the year 1822-3. Sometime afterwards, Adam Wylie and James Ford located in the place. At that time there were but few settlers in the adjacent country, and the idea of making a town probably had not entered into the minds of the proprietors. Rev. Mr. wylie had collected to- gether a congregation of his church, and held public ser- vices in a house down near where the grave yard is. As the immigrants came into the county, they were induced to settle around this place, in order to enjoy the privileges of the church. The congregation, therefore, increased as rapidly as the country was settled. About the year 1833, the spa- cious brick church in which Mr. Wylie's congregation still worship was erected. This was the beginning of the town. About the same time the congregation suffered a division, and the seceding portion erected another large church in three years afterwards. Two spacious churches and a few dwellings around them now stood upon the beautiful little mound in the prairie, and suggested to the proprietor, who appreciated the beautiful, the idea of building a town, which should be called Eden. It was then the closest type of Eden of any spot in Illinois.


In the year 1837, a portion of the lan.' was surveyed into town lots, and but a short time afterwards Eden con- tained a store, oil mill, carding machine, foundry and machine shop, and many other town fixtures. _ ts churches and its shops have constituted the chief materials of interest, and given the character of a religious, moral, intelligent, and industrious people to its inhabitants. The first wagon shop in Eden was established in 1839, by W. R. Brown. Since then several have gone into operation. For many years, the shops of Eden have supplied a large portion of the southern part of Illinois with wagons carriages and plows.


Rev. Samuel Wylie, who is the founder of the place, first came to Kaskaskia in 1817, and was the first man in Illinois to give form and stability to the Reformed Presby- terian Church. For more than forty years he has proclaimed the words of truth and life to the people of his church. He alone of the pioneer ministers who appeared in Illinois previous to 1818 is living. He is a distinguished light in the church, and a faithful gospel minister.


Eden now contains a population of about three hundred; has one dry goods store; four wagon shops; one carriage and plow manufactory; one school house; one literary society, with a large library; a saddlery shop, and some other town appendages.

RED BUD


This thriving town is situated upon a gradually rising eminence in Horse Prairie, near the line which divides the counties of Monroe and Randolph. Its history embraces no events of early times to give it the interest of antiquity its origin duting no farther back then the year 1844. The first house upon the ground where the town no stands was erected in that year by Mr. Richmond D. Durfee. The year after he built a storehouse and commenced selling goods. About the same time Samuel Crozier erected a dwelling, which at that time occupied a position to the south of where the town afterwards stood, but it is now nearly surrounded with houses.


In the year 1847, William Simmons, who owned a part of the town site, had his land surveyed into town lots, and pro- ceeded to dispose of them at public auction. The year after, Mr. Durfee had his land surveyed and made another public sale. Such was the encouragement received from these two sales thet Samuel Crozier brought his land into market, and found ready and anxious purchasers. About the same time a flouring 'mill was erected and put in operation a little to the northeast of town, which is doing business yet.


From this time the town commenced a rapid and success- ful improvement. The first brick building was the school house, erected in 1853, since which time bricks have been used almost exclusively for building material. Soon after- wards followed the erection of a large merchant mill within the limits of the town, whose capacity for grinding is about two hundred and fifty barrels of flour . per day. This gave an additional impetus to the business prosperity of the place and not long afterwards there arose the spacious storehouse of Durfee & Crozier, a row of brick buildings covering a large portion of a block, a large brick brewery, and many other buildings of note and importance. There is now in process of construction a large hotel, t cost of which will amount to $12,000, and a large storehouse by Smith, Allen & Co., which will be an ornament to the town.


Though the growth of the place has been marked by a rapidity which seldom attends the progress of inland towns, it has not cone in advance of the surrounding country, from which it draws its commercial vitality. As a farming region, Horse Prairie and its margin of undulating timbered land, are unsurpassed in beauty and fertility.


The immense crops of wheat, corn, hay and potatoes, harvested from the farms in this prairie, would put to a se- vere test the credulity of the toiling farmer who gathers his eight and ten bushels per acre from the stony hill sides of New England. Among the farmers around Red Bud are to be found the most industrious, enterprising and wealthy in the county. In this fact lies the secret of Red Bud's prosper- ity. Every inland town depends upon the progress and advance- ment of the country around for its own prosperity. The pros-

perity. The prosperous state of the surrounding country may, therefore, be inferred from the amount of business done in Red Bud. There are five dry goods stores; six grocery stores; two flouring mills; two lumber yards; six merchant tailors; one drug store; one brewery; one livery stable; five boot and shoe shops; three blacksmith shops; three wagon manufactories; one saddlery and harness shop; four hotels; two brick yards; four carpenter shops; three cabi- net shops; three tin shops; one jewelry store; one ambro- type .gallery; one high school supported by the town, inde- pendent of the public revenue.
