HISTORY OF CLOUD COUNTY, KANSAS.
To Mr. and Mrs. Williamson five children have been born: James R., su- perintendent of a department for the Swift Packing Company in Chicago; he occupies one of the best positions in this extensive concern, where he entered as an ordinary laborer. His industry and integrity are responsible for this lucrative position. He has been in their employ for about ten years. He visited his parents in 1901 : Arvilla, wife of William Davidson, ( see sketch ) : Charles W. is interested in farming with his father; he is married to Mary D. Abrams, an orphan girl, who was reared by her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William Doyle: Mary E., wife of William Benson, a farmer of Solomon township: Mr. Benson is a successful young man, industrious and progressive, and gives promise of becoming one of the leading farmers in the community: Guy, a progressive young fellow, is interested in a laun- dry in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
When Mr. Williamson left Indiana he settled in Moniteau county, Mis- souri. remaining ten years. In 1879 he came to Kansas and farmed one year in Lincoln county, where he sunk considerable money and then came to the beautiful Solomon valley. He bought a farm of Dan Teasley, and in 1894 purchased the finely improved place where he now lives. The first three years he rented land on the river bottom. His farm, which is one of the very best in the Solomon valley, consists of three hundred and twenty acres of land, a part of which is the original homestead of Anderson Bagwell. Prior to its purchase by Mr. Williamson, it was owned by the Bracken heirs. It is a well watered and well timbered farm and produces wheat and corn. He has given considerable time to horticulture and is rewarded by an abundance of excellent fruit. Their commodious home is beautifully situated near a tim- ber bordered creek and the buildings indicate thrift and enterprise. A new barn just completed at a cost of SSoo adds to the attractiveness of the place. Mr. Williamson belongs to the Populist party. He has been a mem- ber of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons since 1863. a period of thirty- nine years. He was a charter member of both the Glasco and Simpson lodges.

The subject of this sketch is J. C. Chase, a farmer, stockman and chicken fancier of Solomon township, two miles southeast of Glasco. Mr. Chase was born on Third avenue. in the city of New York, October 18. 1854, but in appearance is ten years younger. His father, William Henry Chase, was a carpenter by trade and a native of New York, with residence in New York City and Brooklyn. He died in 1874. in his forty-eighth year. The Chase ancestry came from Wales and were carly settlers in New York. Ilis mother was Maria 1. (Johnson ) Chase: born and died in the city of New York. The Chase family consisted of himself and two sisters. The eldest sister, Elizabeth E. Lane, is a widow .- having buried two husbands She resides in the city of New York and has one daughter, Priscilla, by her first husband. The other sister is Mrs. Ida M. Satterlee, of New York City.
Mr. Chase learned the alphabet in the city of New York with one hm- dred or more other children: as the teacher pointed to the charts they screamed out the letters. He then attended school in winter and in this way received a good common education. He was at one time a pupil of John Ridpath, the historian. Mr. Chase left the city of New York when seven years of age and with some race horse owners went to Indiana, where he began to exercise and train for a jockey, and soon afterward rode in the races, and subsequently became well known among the turfmen. He has been connected with the Homer & Crouch stables near Lebanon, Indiana, and with Samuel Hine, near Greencastle, Indiana. Long & Allen, of Bloom- ington, Illinois, and with General Price, a son of General Sterling Price, of Missouri, for four years. Mr. Chase rode his famous horse, "Bill Baiss." at the head of the Tennessee wagon in the procession at the ratification of Cleveland's election.

HISTORY OF CLOUD COUNTY, KANSAS.
Mr. Chase has five young horses that have been bred for the track. He has one of the best bred stallions in the world, "Frances Hennessey," His sire, "Sid Arthur," was imported by Pierre Lorillard. His dam was "Mur- tillo," bred by Milton Young, of Lexington, Kentucky. "Francis Hen- nessey" is a half-brother of "Our Nellie," the famous mare which holds the two-mile record, 3:3214, and a number of other record breakers. She made this record at Memphis in 1899. In color "Francis Hennessey" is a very dark seal brown horse, with two white heels. He is a superbly magnificent animal.
Mr. Chase also has a strictly thoroughbred mare, "Lucy," from "Long- bow" by "Longfellow." She is now eighteen years old and he has raised six colts from her. He has retained one of her colts, a brood mare. "Vina Long" by "Okema." The latter is by "Reform," out of the dam of "lro- quois" that went to England and won the English derby, the only AAmerican bred horse that ever captured it.
Mr. Chase takes delight in poultry breeding, but horses are his "long suit." He has been breeding the Brown Leghorns and the Black Minorcas five years. In the latter he has scored up to 9514 points. Judge Rhodes, of Topeka, at the Delphos poultry show in 1900, affirmed they were the high- est he had ever adjudged, and carried away the blue ribbon. He supplies eggs for hatching and his patrons are sure of getting the pure article. He keeps about a half dozen pit game chickens and when it comes to a "show down" they prove themselves champions. He has taken his share and the biggest end of the blue ribbon wherever he has exhibited,-Beloit, Delphos, Minneapolis and Glasco .- and they have been scored by as good judges as there are in the country: L. P. Harris, of Nebraska, Judge Rhodes, of To- peka, and other competent authority. Mr. Chase also has some fine bred shorthorn cattle, but for lack of pasture does not keep a large herd. He has been successful in hog raising during the corn years. His fine farm con- sists of one hundred and eighty-five acres of bottom land, intersected by the Solomon river.
Mr. Chase was married in 1894 to Pauline ( Knatkowsky), the widow of Jacob Studt, by whom she had six children. The two younger were twins. -one of them died at the age of three months. Jacob Studt was a native of Germany, born in 1840. When a small boy he came to America with his parents and settled in Illinois, near Waterloo, and in 1867 came to Cloud county, where he died January 26. 1891. Their children are Margaret C .. Angusta S., Elizabeth K. A .. Herman A., and Clara II. The Chase farm is the original homestead of Mr. Studt, where he and his brother lived in a dug- out for several years, and built the first log house in the neighborhood, which was then deemed commodious. The house still stands. In 1890 Mr. Studt built a good frame house of nine rooms.
To Mr. and Mrs. Chase has been born one child, Priscilli Cornelia, a beautiful little girl of five years. Mr. Chase takes an active part in political affairs and votes the Republican ticket. He is a member of the order of Woodmen of Glasco. Mrs. Chase is a member of the Lutheran church.

No branch of art has been more rapidly or scientifically developed in recent years than photography. Glasco is fortunate in this respect, as she has a photographer in Mr. Soule of more than ordinary ability, several of

whose photographs are reproduced in this volume of history. His work has won for him a reputation not only in his own city and vicinity but in neigh- boring towns, deriving a large patronage from them. There are many cities of far greater population that are less fortunate in this line. Mr. Soule is conscientious and endeavors to give satisfaction in his work.
He cast his lot with the Kansas people in the early 'eighties, traveling about for several years over various portions of the state. In 1890 he located in the enterprising little city of Glasco, assuming charge of the Bischoff Brothers' gallery. A year later he decided to roam again, but in 1895 con- cluded Glasco was one of the most desirable points for his business and a res- idence. and opened his present gallery. His work is characterized for the fine finish given his photos and the artistic posing of his subjects. He makes many landscape and river views, photographs homes, interiors, stock, etc.
Mr. Soule is a native of LaHarpe, Hancock county, Illinois, born May 17. 1862. He is a son of Harrison Soule. a farmer of Trumbull. Warren county, Ohio, who located in Illinois before the war and became a drummer boy in the Eighty-fourth Illinois Volunteer Regiment. The name
Sonle is of French origin. Mr. Soule's mother was Adelaide O. Sanford, and like the Soules traces her ancestry back to colon- ial days. Her maternal great-grandmother was a cousin of the distinguished George Bancroft of colonial fame. Iler father, M. D. Sandford, was a dep- uty sheriff in Hancock county, Illinois, at the time of the killing of Joseph Smith. the Mormon leader. He was born in 1810 and was a soklier in the Mexican war.

The subject of this sketch is Nicolas Weaver. an old settler, farmer and stockman of Solomon township. He is a native of Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, thirty miles distant from the city of Pittsburg. He was born
614
HISTORY OF CLOUD COUNTY, KANSAS.
in 1847. and is a son of David B. and Jane ( Henry ) Weaver. His ancestors were of German origin and among the early settlers of that state. His father was born in Westmoreland county, where he lived on a farm until his death by accident, which occurred Angust 1, 1870. He was walking on the tracks of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad and was struck by the fast express. There were cars standing on the three tracks and though accustomed to walking there daily, he did not see or hear the approaching train that caused his death. Mr. Weaver's mother died when he was four years old, leaving eight children, five of whom are living; one in Streator, Illinois, two in Pal- merville. l'ennsylvania, and one in Boston. By a second marriage there were two children.
At the age of nineteen years Mr. Weaver began to map out a career for himself and emigrated to Livingston county, illinois, where he farmed umtil coming to Kansas in 1870. and homesteaded the land where he now lives. Mr. Weaver began at the foundation, as seven dollars was his cash capital when he arrived in Cloud county. The same year he was married and moved into the 13x13 dugout, where they continued to live seven years, and experi- enced many hardships; but their hospitality was not wanting and they kept any wayfarer that came their way. Although often without flour or milk, they lived for days on shorts minns fat enough of any kind to grease a bread pan, often drank coffee made from parched corn and burnt molassess. There was no market for eggs or butter when they had them, and many times they did not have a cent in their possession for weeks, not so much as a postage stamp. They had just arrived at the point where they could exist with some comfort when the grasshoppers put in an appearance.
In 1878 he built a small frame house of one room: two years later he added a kitchen, and in 1893 a one-and-a-half-story addition, making a com- fortable residence. In 1807 he erected a barn 26x36 feet. Mr. Weaver now owns three hundred and twenty acres of land and has a wheat field this year ( 1901) of one hundred acres. He has had some very large yields of wheat and corn, and raises the latter when it fails in other localities.
Mr. Weaver was married in 1871 to Isabella Boyd, a native of Han- cock county, near Findlay, Ohio. She is a daughter of Alexander Hamilton and Anna ( Overholdt ) Boyd, both natives of Pennsylvania, where they were married and later settled in Ohio, and subsequently moved to Illinois. Iler father was a miller and a farmer. He died July 27, 1901, at the home of his daughter, where he had lived since December. 1900. The Boyds were of Irish origin.
Mrs. Weaver's great-grandfather came from Ireland. Her paternal grandfather was a physician and had practiced medicine in Norristown, Pennsylvania. where he lived for years and until his death. Her maternal ancestors were German. Her maternal grandfather was a minister of the Mennonite faith. She is one of seven children, five of whom are living .- one brother near Fremont, Iowa, and three sisters with residence in Streator, Illinois.

HISTORY OF CLOUD COUNTY, KANSAS.
To Mr. and Mrs. Weaver five children have been born, four of whom are living. Their eldest child. David B., died on Christmas Eve. 1897. at the age of twenty-five years. He was stricken with typhoid fever while in the employ of a publishing company in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and died after an illness of two weeks.

JAMES ALEXANDER COLEMAN.
J. A. Coleman cast his lot with the people of the beautiful and fertile Solomon valley in 1886. He is a shrewd business man, bestirs himself early and late, one of the get-up-and-hustle kind that never fails to grasp a good bargain or take advantage of opportunities that come in his way: another good example of what phick and ambition can do in this fair commonwealth. He came to Kansas practically a poor man but possessed of that heritage, energy and grit which is of far more value than titles to land, minus these attributes. He has forged to the front and ranks as a successful farmer and stockman. Mr. Coleman is still in the prime of life, having been born in Keytesville, Missouri, in the year 1856: but his cordial manner and good Imimored witticisms imply he might be ten years younger.
His parents were John Henry and Elvira ( Moss) Coleman. J. H. Coleman was a Virginian by birth, born in Prince Edward county. He emi- grated to Missouri in his earlier life, where he died in the early 'seventies. He was of English origin. Mr. Coleman is one of seven children, four of whom are living, all in Sheridan county, Missouri, except himself. William Edward, a farmer: Martha J., wife of Charles Edison, a farmer, and Jennie. V., wife of W. L. Brown.
Mr. Coleman began his career on a farm. Ilis mother died during the war and he was thrown on his own resources very early in life. He was mar- ried in 1880 to Annie Alice Wells, of Sheridan county, Missouri, where she was born and reared. Her father was Freeman Wells. He left Virginia. his native state, when a young man and settled in Missouri, where he died in 1882. Her mother was Polly Huttsell, of Kentucky birth. She died in 1880. Mrs. Coleman is one of nine children, six of whom are living. John

Edward, a carpenter with residence in Concordia: William L., a retired farmer of Concordia : Mattie J. wife of Jeff Hulse, a farmer of Solomon township: Sena, wife of Wesley Cline, an Oklahoma farmer; Susan, wife of William Crook, a farmer of Solomon township.
Mr. Coleman came to Kansas with small capital and at the end of two years, owing to partial failure of crops and bad management, he had prac- tically nothing. He had not adapted himself to the country and the ways of the people-thought he was in Missouri. However, shortly afterward he bought eighty acres of the Ezra Calhoun homestead, built a neat cottage and improved the place. Two years later he bought forty acres adjoining it on the south; two years subsequently added eighty acres on the west side, and in 1800 secured forty acres adjoining on the east side. Has improved the lat- ter. built a comfortable house of six rooms, located on the edge of Fisher creek, which furnishes beautiful shade of natural forest trees.
Our subject raises wheat, alfalfa and corn. In 1800 he had a fifty-acre field of wheat that vielded forty-two and one-half bushels per acre. He has made the bulk of his money in cattle and hogs. He has a fine feed lot with a never-failing spring that would afford water for one thousand head of stock.
Mr. Coleman's family consists of a wife-who is a very estimable woman,-and four children, viz: William Edward, aged seventeen. Les- sie Olivia, Marshall Lnella and Sena Eulalia. Mr. Coleman is a Democrat and a member of the Woodmen Lodge of Glasco. The family are members of the Methodist church.
STEPHEN A. NOWELS.
S. A. Nowels is one of the substantial farmers and stockman of the Solomon valley and one of the most esteemed citizens of that community. Ile is a native of Holmes county, Ohio, born in 1844. He is a son of David and Mary ( Waddell) Nowels. His father was of Yankee origin, born in Connecticut in 1792. and died at the age of sixty-three years. Mr. Nowels' paternal grandfather was a Revolutionary soldier and removed to Ohio in the early settlement of that state and located near the present city of Sandusky.
Mr. Nowles served with distinction in the Civil war. He enlisted at the beginning of hostilities in Company B. Sixteenth Ohio Infantry, under Captain Ager, who was promoted colonel of another regiment and died before taking command. Their regiment was then placed under General DeCoursey. They took part in many engagements, among them the battles of Mill Springs, Cumberland Gap. Yazoo City, Arkansas Post, and Cham- pion Hill, where the line was broken and they lost many men. In the siege of Vicksburg Mr. Nowels took a severe cold and this, coupled with lying under the firing of heavy artillery for six weeks, deafened him permanently to the extent of rendering it very difficult to converse with him. He was one
617
HISTORY OF CLOUD COUNTY, KANSAS.
of the volunteers that ran the battery at Vicksburg, and was one of the most daring men on the force. Not a shot was fired as they passed Vicksburg. but at Warrensburg the Confederates fired into them to beat the mischief. From here he went into the Ninth Ohio Cavalry, under Captain Irving and Colonel Hamilton in command. He had served in the first company one year and nine months. He participated in the battle at Decatur, Alabama, and with Rosseau on his raid through Alabama and Mississippi, where they lost their horses and traveled five hundred miles on foot. At Big Shady forty-two of their men were killed. He was with Sherman on his march to the sea, and took part in the cavalry fight at fiverysboro, where they had their last hard battle. This brigade also had a hard fight at Polecat Junction. They were scouting the greater part of the time in the Carolinas. Colonel Hamilton, who was promoted to brigadier-general. be- stowed upon Mr. Nowels a badge for courage and bravery. It is a silver medal surmounted by an eagle perched on a banner. On the scroll is en- graved the name of the recipient and the company of which he was a mem- ber. This was the only badge given in the company. Mr. Nowels was not commissioned but acted as sergeant most of the time during his service in the army. The hardest march his company underwent was to Cumberland Gap. a distance of two hundred and forty miles. They were reduced in rations, secured tin pans, pierced them with nails and with these improvised instruments grated corn for bread. Mr. Nowels had several narrow escapes. He received a wound on the leg between the knee and ankle at Yazoo City and was confined to the hospital two weeks. He was slightly wounded upon two other occasions, once in South Carolina, and again in Georgia. One ball tore his clothing and cut the buttons off his coat in close proximity to a vital part of his anatomy-the pit of his stomach. \t one time, while stationed as guard, Mr. Nowels met a Confederate in the woods and a duel ensued, the rebel shooting five times. Mr. Nowels' carbine refused to fire and with his pistols he poured out one shot ; the fellow in gray laid down, put spurs to his horse, and rode rapidly away.
