The road was constructed in 1869-70, and on its completion to Chillicothe, there was great rejoicing, and a large excursion to Bruns- wiek.

The St. Louis, Chillicothe and Omaha Railroad Company was organized June 18, 1867, to build a road from Chillicothe to the Iowa line. The first board of directors was composed of W. R. King and St. A. D. Balcombe, of Omaha ; C. P. Chouteau and E. W. Samuels, of St. Louis ; J. B. Bell, C. V. Meade, L. D. Murphy, J. H. Ham- mond and Peter Markey, of Chillicothe ; D. H. Solomon, of Glen- wood, Iowa; J. S. MeIntire, of Clarinda, Iowa; W. C. Stewart, Gallatin, Mo., and C. V. Comstock, Albany, Mo. On the 4th of June, 1869, the name of the company was changed to Chillicothe and Omaha Railroad Company. September 13, 1870, the St. Louis, Council Bluff's and Omaha Railroad Company was incorporated in the State of Iowa to build a road from Council Bluffs to a connection with the Chillicothe and Omaha, on the State line. A week later, September 20, the Chillicothe and Omaha and the St. Louis, Council Bluffs and Omaha were consolidated under the name of the latter.

Going back to the Old North Missouri Company, it must be said that in 1871 that corporation became bankrupt, and sold its property to M. K. Jessup, of New York. The following year Jessup sold it to the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern Railway Company, which was organized the same year, for the purpose of purchasing the road, and which operated it until November 7, 1879, when it consolidated

with the Wabash Railway Company, and the new organization was called the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific, commonly called Wabash. The old Wabash originated in the Toledo and Illinois Railway, which was organized in the State of Ohio April 25, 1853, to build a road from Toledo to the western boundary of the State.

For some time after its completion the Brunswick and Chillicothe Railroad was operated by lessees, but in a few years it and the St. Louis, Council Bluff's and Omaha were absorbed by the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific.

On the 27th of May, 1870, an election was held to test the sense of the qualified voters of the municipal township of Chillicothe as to the propriety of a subscription of the county court, in behalf of the township, of the sum of $12,000 in aid of the Chillicothe and Omaha road. The election resulted : For the subscription, 320 ; against 50. On the 10th of April, 1871, bonds of the county, in behalf of the township, were issued to the amount of the subscription, which was $12,000. The bonds numbered 24, of $500 each, bearing interest at 8 per cent.

The First National Bank of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, pur- chased the bonds soon after they were issued, on which the county paid the interest until in February, 1877, when the county court, understanding that a recent decision of the United States Supreme Court had declared similar issues of bonds null and void, refused longer to pay. The bank thereupon brought suit, and the case is now in the United States Supreme Court, having been decided in favor of the bank in the courts below. At the time of the voting of the bonds Rich Hill was a part of Chillicothe township.

The extension of the road north from Chillicothe was begun in 1870 and was completed to Plattsburg the following year. In 1879, when the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific took charge of the old Chillicothe and Omaha, work was resumed, and during that and the following year the road was extended to Council Bluffs, Ia.

THE CHILLICOTHE AND DES MOINES.

In the year 1869 the grading between Chillicothe and Trenton was done for a railroad contemplated to be built between Chillicothe and Des Moines, Ia., but the enterprise was abandoned, and the labor and expense have so far been profitless. It is confidently believed, however, that some day a road will be completed over this grade, at least between Chillicothe and Trenton.

OTHER RAILROAD PROJECTS.

As to railroads which were designed to run through the county and were uever constructed in accordance with such design there may be mentioned :-

1. The Chicago and Southwestern Railroad - now the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific. On the 1st of February, 1870, the people, by a vote of 1,733 to 726, authorized the county court to subscribe $200,- 000 to the stock of this road, on condition that it should be built through the county, making Chillicothe a point. Other encourage- ment of a substantial character was offered to the enterprise ; but its managers, after paltering with us in a double sense, and after persist- ently keeping the word of promise to our cars, at last broke it to our hopes and located the road on the " west line," through Gallatin.

2. On July 26, 1870, the subscription to the Chicago and South- western was rescinded by a vote of the people (1,274 to 1), and by another vote (787 to 500) the same amount was subscribed to the stock of the Ottumwa, Chillicothe and Lexington road, which was never built, and on which but little if any work was ever done.

3. May 2, 1871, by a vote of 1,048 to 899 the county court was authorized to take stock in Utica and Lexington Railroad. The road was never built, and perhaps never intended to be.

4. But a few years since a great effort was made to secure through the county an extension of the Burlington and Southwestern Rail- road (a part of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy system), from Laclede towards Kansas City. After much discussion of the matter, and after the people had worked for days and weeks to raise the money claimed to be necessary to secure the road, it came out that there was never any real intention to build it through this county via Chillicothe. The road crossed the Wabash near Cunningham and passed into Carroll county.

The latest railroad enterprise to come into the county is the Chi- cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, which was located in the latter part of March last. The project was first broached in the fall of 1885. A survey of the line was made through the county in October, running diagonally through the county from northeast to southwest, by way of Chillicothe and near Dawn, and through the southeastern portion of Caldwell by Polo. The road in this quarter is a portion of the extension of the main line from Ottumwa, Ia., to Kansas City, and is to be completed by the 1st of April, 1887.

The county obtained the road on very liberal terms. The railroad

858

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

company merely asked for the right of way through the county, with the depot grounds at Chillicothe, and even this was not insisted upon as a condition precedent to the location of the road. Upon the citi- zens of Chillicothe mainly fell the burden of defraying the expenses. Not until the 1st of March did they set fairly to work, but in a short time they had subscribed the sum of $18,000 and a committee had gone over the route surveyed and bargained with the owners for the right of way. The latter, as a rule, were selfish and exorbitant, asked the very highest prices for their lands and were unwilling to make any concessions to the enterprise or to their fellow-citizens. The citizens of Dawn subscribed $2,500, although their town was more than a mile from the proposed depot.

A few of the owners of the land through which the road runs gen- erously donated the right of way - notably Mr. P. H. Minor and Joseph Slagle, of Chillicothe township, who gave several acres in all of valuable land. The right of way committee, who did the most and best work were H. C. Ireland, J. W. Butner, W. H. Mansur, C. W. Asper.

The Tribune and Crisis ( or Evening Star) newspapers worked in- cessantly and with good effect in aid of the enterprise.

POSITION AND DESCRIPTION.

Wheeling township comprises the west half of township 58, range 22, and that part of the west half of township 57 in the same range lying north of the center of the track of the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad ; it contains about 29 sections of land, and is one of the smallest townships in the county. Its general surface is prairie and bottom land. The famous Wheeling prairie is a fine body of land, renowned for its fertility and general excellence.

Medicine creek flows along the western border of the township and a considerable portion is taken up with its bottom lands, not all of which have been reduced to cultivation, but which are susceptible of reclamation, and doubtless in time will be brought under the dominion of the plow.

Like the other townships of the county the principal productions of Wheeling are grain and stock, to the raising of which it is well adapted. There is a general effort to improve the stock of cattle by the introduction of short-horns and other superior breeds. Blue grass grows extensively and luxuriantly.

On section 31, about one mile and a half northwest of the town of Wheeling, a coal mine has been opened. The vein runs from 18 to 30 inches in thickness. The quality of the coal is fairly good, though impregnated to some extent with sulphuret of iron (sulphur). Lime- stone of good quality is found, and one quarry of considerable import- ance has been opened.

The principal varieties of timber are oak, hickory and elm, and there is a sufficiency for general purposes.

SCHOOLS.

Besides the school at Wheeling, there are four others in the township, as follows: -

No. 1, township 58, range 22, Gish School-house, located on the (859)

center of the east line of section 29. Number of scholars in the dis- triet, 82; zumber enrolled last term, 33 males and 27 females. Branches taught, common and higher English.

No. 2, township 58, range 22, " New York School," located on the center of the east line of section 8. Number of scholars last term, 25 males and 17 females. Branches taught, common and higher English.

No. 2, township 57, range 22, South Wheeling, located sw. 1/4 sec- tion 9. Number of scholars last term, 15 males and 14 females. Branches taught, common English. The first teacher of this school was Rev. M. L. Smith.

Prairie Valley School, District No. 5, had 28 scholars enrolled at the last term. The common English branches only are taught.

FIRST SETTLERS AND FIRST LAND ENTRIES.

The first settlers of the township made the first entries of land, and their names and the tracts on which they settled are given and described below, up to the year 1840 : -

James Littrell entered the ne. se. section 4, in township 57, range 22, April 18, 1839, in which year, it will be noted, all the very first entries were made.

The first town in the vicinity of the township was "New Balti- more," established by John Botts, in 1858, laid out and named Bottsville in 1860, and changed to Meadville in 1869. While " New Baltimore " consisted of a store and a blacksmith shop, and more- over was three miles over in Linn county, it nevertheless was a well known locality to the first settlers.

Collier's Mill, on Medicine creek, at the crossing of the State road (ne. nw. sec. 31) was an institution of much note in its day, not many years since.

Although there were settlements in the township as early as 1839, and probably in 1838 or 1837, yet the greater portion was not set- tled until twenty years later, and indeed many locations were made after the Civil War. At the latter period many persons from the

861

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

Northern States came in, forming an enterprising population and a most valuable accession to the community. Mr. J. L. Babb, who built the third house on the Wheeling prairie, in 1858, says at that time there was not a panel of fence on the prairie. The county abounded in game and fish,

ORGANIZATION.

Wheeling township was organized May 6, 1867, on petition of Augustine Wiley, John Wiley and others, out of the territory belong- ing to Chillicothe township. At first it comprised all of Congress- ional townships 57 and 58, in range 22, a portion of the township lying south of Grand River, but in March, 1871, the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad became the southern boundary as at present. The first justice of the peace was Augustine Wiley. The township was named for the town of Wheeling. At the first township election the total number of voters was 72.

THE TOWN OF WHEELING.

The town of Wheeling stands on the east side of section 5, town- ship 57, range 22, one mile from the Linn county line. It was laid out October 7, 1865, by Henry Nay, and by him named for Wheeling, W. Va. The first house was completed by Mr. Nay in May, 1866, and was occupied by E. C. Williams, who became the first merchant. The next to come were E. Collamer and C. Marden, the former a son of Jacob Collamer, of Vermont, who was Postmaster-General in 1849 and United States Senator afterward. The second house was built by Isaac W. White. Soon after the town began to improve and fill up with something of rapidity. The town was not regularly platted till June 1, 1866.

The first preacher in the town was Rev. Burr, a " Northern " Methodist, who held the first services in Mr. Nay's house. All de- nominations held services at the same place until 1868, when the old school-house was built. The first church was the Methodist Epis- copal (North), which was completed in the fall of 1874, and is still occupied almost in common by other denominations having organiza- tions in the place - the Baptists, Presbyterians and Christians. The school-house was built under the auspices of the officers of the school district, comprising territory outside the town.

In 1866 the first depot was built and a station established. This burned in 1881, when a temporary one was built, and this was suc- ceeded the next year by the present building. The first practicing

862

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

physician to locate in the village was Dr. James Gish, who came in 1868. A Mr Nash was the first blacksmith. The first burial in the cemetery was that of Mrs. Linnie C. Barkley, who died near town on February 4, 1868, aged 27. She was the wife of James Barkley, the well-known Chillicothe printer.

At present the business enterprises of Wheeling comprise three general stores, a drug store, a lumber yard, two grain elevators, two implement stores, two blacksmith shops, a harness shop, two boot and shoe shops, three physicians, three notaries, two justices of the peace, two grain dealers, four stock dealers, three plasterers and stone masons, three carpenters and builders, two hotels, two livery stables, and one meat market.

The shipments from the station average annually about 125 cars of grain, 50 cars of hogs, 35 cars of cattle, 5 cars of sheep and 12 cars of hay, besides considerable quantities of poultry, game, eggs, apples and other produce.

There is only one church building, but all denominations are allowed its use. The Masonic Order, the Grand Army of the Republic and the Knights of Labor have good working organizations. The citizens are gratified in being able to state that in the history of the village there has been but one dwelling-house destroyed by fire, and that there has never been a saloon or dramshop in the place. Present population is about 250.

PUBLIC SCHOOL.

The present public school at Wheeling is the successor of a school first organized in January, 1860, in a small log building, which was built in the fall of 1859, and which stood in what is now the southern part of the town. The first teacher was Daniel Bowers, who taught here for five years, being assisted by his wife, who was also a teacher. In 1869 a new school-house, a frame, was erected. The present building was erected in 1882, and, including the furniture, cost about $2,500. It contains two rooms, with seats for 100 pupils. There are two departments, primary and grammar. In the latter the higher English branches are taught.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF WHEELING.

In May, 1868, this church was organized, with the following members: D. S. Mccullough, Eva Mccullough, Dellia Mccullough, Jas. P. Smith, J. N. Hastings, Rachel Hastings, Phebe Riggs, L. D. Brown, R. R. Stout, R. T. Abbot, Anna MeCullough and Lizzie Nay. A frame church building was erected in 1874, which cost $1,600.

863

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

The pastors who have ministered to this church have been the Revs. H. L. Beardsly, - Andrews, W. L. Edmonds, - Bozell, T. P. Hales, Jas. Allen, - Scott, H. B. Barnes, S. Knupp, T. J. Engeart and - Noble. The membership at present writing is 30. This charge was in the Chillicothe circuit until 1877, when it was made part of Meadville circuit. Mr. Geo. Real has been class-leader since 1869.

The Sabbath-school is composed of 45 scholars, Geo. Real being superintendent.

SECRET ORDERS.

Masonic Lodge. - Wheeling Lodge, A. F. and A. M., was organ- ized in 1873, by S. W. Haynes, Dr. W. W. Edgerton and Thos. C. Hayden. There were seventeen members. The first officers were S. W. Haynes, W. M .; W. W. Edgerton and Thos. C. Hayden, wardens. The dispensation was issued January 13, 1873, and the charter bears date October 17, 1873. The past masters have been W. W. Edgerton, Geo. W. Babb, S. W. Haynes, J. E. Pardonner, J. C. Gish, D. Carpenter and S. B. Patterson. The lodge has always been prosperous, and is one of the best working organizations in the State. It owns its own lodge building, a frame, and meets every second and fourth Saturday in each month. The present membership is 30.

BIOGRAPHICAL

GEORGE B. ARNOLD

(Proprietor of the Arnold House, Wheeling).

Not only as the popular host of this well established hostelry has Mr. Arnold become well known to the people of Livingston county, but officially and also in the private walks of life. He first came to Wheeling in 1872 and engaged in farming, continuing that occupation until 1883, when, in January, of that year, he was commissioned postmaster here. While living on the farm he was elected justice of the peace and has since filled that position. In 1885 he was chosen township clerk and assessor and besides this he has served the people as clerk and director of the school board for this district. In all of these positions Mr. Arnold has discharged his duties in a manner above reproach. In the fall of 1885 he purchased the property known as the Arnold House and commenced conducting the hotel on November 1. A man of pleasing manners, kind and courteous to all, he attends closely to the wants of his patrons. Mr. A. owes his nativity to New Berlin, Chenango county, N. Y., where he was born June 11, 1833. James S. Arnold, his father, a tanner and currier by occupa- tion and also a tiller of the soil, was of English descent. He was married at New Berlin, N. Y., to Miss Abigail Spear, daughter of a hotel keeper, and the third of four children, Martin S., Lydia, Abigail and Betsy S. James S. was one of five children, the others being Jabez S., Rachel, Beulina and Benjamin. Mr. and Mrs. A. had three children, of whom George B. was the eldest and then came Cornelia, now deceased, and Eli. The parents are both now dead. George was educated at the common schools in New York with the exception of four terms at an academy in New Berlin. Subsequently for three months he drove a stage and then, November 17, 1847, commenced to learn the trade of harness maker, following it for eighteen years afterwards. As soon as his apprenticeship was completed he began business for himself, adding to this line a stock of boots and shoes. Disposing of this business he engaged in the dry goods and grocery trade, sold out in 1871 and went to Reading, Mich., in a similar bus- iness, and from that place he came here as above stated. Mr. A. has been twice married ; first in 1855 to Miss Ruth Palmer, of Brookfield, N. Y., who bore him five children : George J., Alice C. Lewis W., LeRay D. and Mary A. Mrs. Arnold died in April, 1879. . In May, 1884, Mrs. Margaret A. Duval became his wife. Mr. A. is a mem- ber of Phœbus Lodge No. 82, A. F. and A. M., of New York.

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

MRS. MARGARET BEAT

(Section 16, Post-Office, Wheeling).

There are in every community some persons who, on account of their industry and practical management of the affairs which fall to their lot, deserve special credit ; and such is Mrs. Beat. Since the death of her husband some two years ago, she has, with the assistance of her eldest daughter, Miss Rachel, managed the farm in a most ad- mirable manner, in fact, the skill, business tact and judgment they have displayed have equaled those of their neighbors, though of course they have encountered the disadvantages that universally fall to woman's lot when placed in opposition with the sterner sex. Mrs. Beat was born in the town of Alva, in Stirlingshire, Scotland, Octo- ber 22, 1840, her father, James Morrison, referred to elsewhere, hav- ing been a native of the same locality. On March 20, 1856, she was married, becoming the wife of William Beat, who was born in Perth- shire, Scotland, at Methvin, March 10, 1829. By occupation he was a farmer. His father was a large manufacturer of cotton fabrics at Perth. Upon deciding to come to America, Mr. Beat left the home of his childhood in 1844, reaching America and immediately settling at Milwaukee, Wis., which place he reached July 4, of that year. Subsequently he moved upon a farm in Dane county, west of Madi- son, where he gave his attention to agricultural pursuits until the spring of 1868, then coming to Livingston county, and locating on the farm which his widow now occupies. Here his death occurred February 25, 1884, at the age of 55. He was a member of the Pres- byterian Church, as his wife also is, and held membership in Wheeling Lodge of the Grange. He left a family of eight children, six of whom are living : Rachel, born June 18, 1859; James, born September 9, 1862, died November 1, 1869 ; Jessie, born March 8, 1864, died Feb- ruary 8, 1877 ; Christiana, born December 21, 1867 ; Mamie, born September 8, 1871; Edwin, born May 20, 1874 ; Ida, born February 3, 1878; Bertie, born January 21, 1880. Mr. Beat was a man recog- nized as a progressive agriculturist, and in his death the community realized a severe loss. His widow is one of the most respected per- sons of this township.

HARRISON BIRD

(Farmer and Stock Buyer and Grower, Post-office, Wheeling).

One of the foremost men among the agriculturists of Livingston county is he whose name appears above, and he is a son whom Mis- souri might well be proud to own. His birth occurred August 18, 1845, near Hannibal, Marion county, Mo., and from that time to the present he has continued to make his home within the borders of the State, a respected, intelligent and influential citizen, of irreproachable character, and a person held in the highest esteem. His parents were George W. and Martha ( Rudder) Bird, both Kentuckians by birth,

866

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

the former of whom came to Missouri as early as 1814. He died in October, 1858, at the age of 64 years. His father built the first house ever erected in what is now the city of Hannibal, at a time when Indians were far more numerous than white people. ( See His- tory of Marion county, Mo., pp. 887, 888. ) Mrs. Bird's father was a soldier in the War of 1812. Harrison was the eighth of 10 children in his father's family, five of whom grew to maturity. He attended the district schools in the vicinity of his birthplace when young, became well acquainted with Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain), and after leaving school began milling at Hannibal, where he remained for 5 years. Then he commenced farming in Linn county, improv- ing a farm from raw land, and subsequently came to this county in 1882, settling a short distance from his present place of residence. On the farm which he now occupies he gives considerable attention to the stock business, buying and raising quite extensively each year. For three months during the war Mr. Bird was with the Confederate forces under Col. Porter, was captured in Ralls county, and on ac- count of sickness was paroled under bond; he took part in the actions of Palmyra, Newark and Kirksville. In 1867 he married at Hannibal Miss Lydia A. Herriman, whose father, John Herriman, was one of the earliest settlers in Chillicothe. They have had 6 children : Mattie E., born March 22, 1869 ; Hattie H., born January 3, 1871; Ida Herriman, born March 11, 1878; Laura, born Novem- ber 1, 1880 ; Anna May, born February 20, 1883, and Elmer, born April 27, 1885. One of these is deceased. Mr. and Mrs. B. and family are members of the Wheeling Christian Church. The former belongs to the Masonic Order, and is a member of the A. H. T. A. His parents were living near New Madrid at the time of the terrible earth- quake that convulsed the country from the falls of the Ohio nearly to Vicksburg. Mrs. Bird's mother's name was Botts, her maternal grandfather, Thomas Botts, having been the first settler in Linn county. Bottsville (now Meadville ), was named after one of his sons. It is but the truth to say that no family within the limits of this county is more highly respected than that of Mr. Bird. Personally he is a man unassuming in his demeanor but energetic and straigh- forward in every course in life. He is one of the few whom to meet once is to wish for a more extended acquaintance.
