All of the territory north of the county proper, which had been attached to Livingston, forming now the counties of Grundy and Mercer, was divided into two townships. All of the territory east of the East fork of Grand river, extending to the Iowa line, was called Muddy Creek township, and all west of the East fork was called Sugar Creek.
Following the proceedings of the county court elections were called to be held, May 27, 1837, for the purpose of choosing two justices of the peace and one constable for each township. The polling places and judges of election were named as follows: Indian Creek township at the home of Jesse Nave, the judges were James Leeper, Andrew Ligett and Benjamin Hargrave. Shoal Creek township, at the home of John S. Tomblin, the judges were John Austin, Samuel E. Todd and Stephen W. Reynolds. Medicine Creek town- ship, at the home of William E. Pearl, the judges were Wil-

liam Linville, Samuel Parks and James Cook. Grand River township, at the home of Benjamin A. Fewel, the judges were John Hall, John Stuckey and Benjamin A. Fewel. Sugar Creek township, at the home of George Perry, the judges were William P. Thompson, George Bunch and Philip Wild. Muddy Creek township, at the home of Daniel Duval, the judges were John Thrailkill, Daniel Duval and William Cochrane. In November following elections were held to choose two additional justices of the peace for Shoal Creek and Indian Creek townships. John Austin, Howard Maupin and Spencer Gregory acted as election judges for Shoal Creek township and our own Alex. Dockery, William Venable and Elisha Bucher, election judges for Indian Creek township.
During the deliberations of the court the dwelling house (log cabin) of Joseph Cox, was selected as the temporary abode of the seat of justice. Samuel B. Campbell was ap- pointed assessor and Wm. E. Pearl, deputy county clerk. At the second session of the county court held in May, 1837, Wil- liam Linville was appointed county treasurer, but was soon after succeeded by the appointment of Samuel Parks. At this term of court Sheriff Jennings was appointed county collector.
In 1838 the residents of the county experienced "pinching times" on account of the scarcity of money, the probable re- sult of the suspension of the United States Bank. Those who were caught without money at this period found it impossible to beg, or borrow and the few who had a little money, re- fused every appeal for a loan, even at a high rate of interest. About this time, however, the three per cent fund distribu- tion by the state came into the hands of Sheriff Jennings. This money was distributed by the state to aid in the con- struction of roads and bridges. The county court decided that Livingston county's allotment, amounting to six hundred and three dollars, should be loaned out to relieve the stress then existing and in less time than it takes to tell it the money was taken for one year at ten per cent interest by Jesse Nave, Wm. O. Jennings, W. E. Pearl, W. F. Ewell, C. H. Ashby, Giles Woolsey, Evan Odell and James L. Austin, the bor- rowers going security for each other, Pearl taking $50, Ashby

$100, Jennings, $100, and so on until the money was ex- hausted. When the money became due and payable to the county it was found necessary to bring suit to have it paid into the county treasury.
One official most prominent in the early records of the county, is the presiding judge of the county court. Even if the overworked clerk forgot to attest his record and not men- tion his name except on pay day, the records are sufficiently attested for evidence in all legal controversies by the name of the presiding judge. At the end of every term he attests the record with his name. In this way the continuity of the record is preserved. They show an unbroken line since that memorable April 6, 1837, when the first county court con- vened. The following men have held the office of presiding judge of our county court :
William Martin, April 6, 1837 to April 1, 1838. Wm. P. Thompson, April 1, 1838 to April 1, 1842. Gilbert Woolsey, April 1, 1842 to January 1, 1844. James Conner, January 1, 1844 to January 1, 1846. Gilbert Woolsey, January 1, 1846 to January 1, 1848. James A. Davis, January 1, 1848 to January 1, 1850. George Pace, January 1, 1850 to January 1, 1858. Abithal Wallace, January 1, 1858 to January 1, 1864. A. Cox, January 1, 1864 to January 1, 1865. S. B. Deland, January 1, 1865 to January 1, 1867. Carlile Curtis, January 1, 1867 to January 1, 1871. Samuel W. McDowell, January 1, 1871 to January 1, 1873. Wm. G. Davis, January 1, 1873 to January 1, 1874. Robert B. Williams, January 1, 1874 to January 1, 1879. William G.

Prentis Waite, January 1, 1891 to February 2, 1891. James C. Minteer, February 6, 1891 to January 1, 1893. Samuel L. Forester, January 1, 1893 to January 1, 1895. David A.

Prior to the Constitution of 1875, the legislature often changed the terms and membership of the court. In 1871 the court consisted of one presiding judge and one associate jus- tice from each township in the county. Judge James M. Davis was a member of this court. He and Judge J. W. Don- ovan, who was elected from the Eastern District in 1878, have the distinction of being the only lawyers that ever sat in that court. The membership of the court was reduced at the next general election to four associate judges and one presid- ing judge. Then the Constitution of 1875 made the county court a court of record, and a distinct branch of the judicial system of the state. It provided that its members should not exceed three judges, and it should have sole jurisdiction over all county business and all other matters as provided by law. Since that time it has more stability, and within its jurisdic- tion and discretion has prerogatives as independent as any other court. From 1865 to 1871, the probate judge was ex- officio presiding judge of the county court. After that time the probate business and administration of estates was deliv- ered over to the probate judge, who was constituted a sepa- rate court and from that time the county court ceased to do probate business.
On the first Monday in July, 1838, the county court held its first session in Chillicothe. They thereby transferred the seat of justice from the residence of Joseph Cox to this city, that from that date becomes the county seat of Livingston county. The session was held in a log house constructed on lot 5, block 11. The first court house was eighteen feet square, built of hewn logs, chinked and daubed, with a chimney at one end and a puncheon floor, and was seven feet to the eaves. It was used as the courthouse till 1841, when a courthouse in the square was completed. The county court then permitted the citizens of Chillicothe to use this building as a school- house, and here at this place on March, 1841, was convened the first public school in Livingston county.

POLITICS AND WAR.
The presidential campaign of 1840 is the earliest record to be found in the county and in this nothing appears except the names of the election judges of the various townships. The whigs had renominated General Harrison for president and John Tyler of Virginia for vice-president, while the democrats' standard bearers were Martin Van Buren and Richard M. Johnson. It was known as the "Log Cabin, Coon Skin and Hard Cider Campaign." Following were the judges :
Chillicothe-Asel F. Ball, Wm. Linville, Warren Wait. Marion-Reuben Perkins, Wm. Anderson, James Work.
Greene-Nathaniel Matson, Joseph Harper, Wm. Woolsey.
Monroe-John Austin, Isaac McCoskrie, Robeson Bryan. Jackson-James A. Davis, Jesse Nave, Andrew Ligett. Jefferson-Isom Ware, N. R. Hobbs, Samuel Ramsey. Franklin-James Merrill, Wm. Evans, Wm. Thrailkill. Madison-Philip Wild, Evans Peery, Wm. Renfrew. Washington-B. F. Wood, A. J. Walker, John McDowell. Lafayette-R. D. Slover, John Hart, Henry Moore. Morgan-Peter Caine, James Morgan, Esquire Gardner.
There appears to be no local record of the Polk and Clay campaign of 1844, at which time the democrats were dubbed "Locofocos." Henry Clay of Kentucky and Theodore Frel- inghuysen, of New Jersey, were the whig candidates for pres- ident and vice-president, and James K. Polk of Tennessee and George M. Dallas of Pennsylvania, candidates on the demo- cratic ticket.
From the first political organization in Livingston county up to 1860 the county was largely democratic. Nova Zembla Johnson, a whig, was elected to the legislature in 1844 through personal popularity.
The campaign of 1860 was spirited in Livingston county as well as in every county and state in the country. In this three-cornered contest the Charleston convention placed in
63
HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY
nomination two sets of candidates, the "stand patters" naming Stephen A. Douglas and Herschel V. Johnson and the states rights wing bringing out John C. Breckinridge and Joseph Lane to lead the faction of the democratic party. The result of the election of local candidates in this campaign follows : For representative, A. J. Austin, democrat, 878; L. McDowell, Union, 656. For sheriff, W. C. Norman, democrat, 642; S. L. Harris, union, 911. For county judge, J. A. Davis, dem- ocrat, 892 ; J. Blackburn, democrat, 627. Davis was an inde- pendent and supported by the Bell and Everett wing. Other officers elected were: Assessor, G. W. Knox; treasurer, J. B. McDonald; school commissioner, A. Bargdoll. The presi- dential vote in the county was : Bell, 578; Breckinridge, 470; Douglas, 401 ; Lincoln, 20.
It will be noticed from these figures that the feeling in this county at that time was strongly in favor of state rights and besides being largely in the majority the party was active and aggressive, and their leaders were men of prominence in the county. Such men as William Y. Slack, John Graves, A. J. Austin and C. J. Rackliffe being among the foremost. Gen. W. Y. Slack was a leading lawyer of the county, a man of the highest integrity and honor but with strong secession procliv- ities. On the 18th of May, Governor Jackson commissioned him a brigadier general of the Fourth Military District, com- prising the counties of Worth, Gentry, DeKalb, Clinton, Har- rison, Daviess, Caldwell, Ray, Carroll, Livingston, Grundy and Mercer. Slack served under General Price in the Mexi- can war and was a military man, able, brave and popular.
To organize his district General Slack set to work at once. Considerable money was subscribed to purchase two cannon and suitable ammunition to be used to defend the homes against the "invader." Cleaver and Mitchell, found- rymen, of Hannibal, were given the order for the cannon, to be shipped to Chillicothe, by rail, but the railroad officials refused to accept them. They then resorted to a covered wagon. The Federals, however, "got wind" of the shipment and proceeded forthwith to intercept the guns. To Captain Crandall of Brookfield, was intrusted the task of capturing
64
HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY
these implements of war, and with a company of Home Guards he set out. As it proved later Captain Crandall was fortunate in making the capture near St. Catherine and bring- ing the guns to Brookfield, for twenty well-armed men under command of Capt. James A. Small had been sent out by General Slack to meet the wagon coming overland, and ac- company it through to Chillicothe, but the guns were safe in Brookfield and a fight for possession between the two com- mands was thus averted. The cannons were never paid for.
Governor Jackson ordered General Slack's division to march on the 12th of June to Lexington. In every part of the county the call to arms in behalf of the southern cause was being responded to. Secession flags were in evidence every- where, but the Union men were not idle, although making no demonstration. They felt their time was coming. They real- ized the first step was to secure control of the H. & St. Joe Railroad and on the night of the 13th of June a detachment of the Sixteenth Illinois Infantry under command of Colonel Wilson, reached the Grand river bridge. The command halted at the Chillicothe depot at one o'clock on the morning of the 14th, but remained within the coaches to prevent the Confederates knowing of their presence and to permit a night train to pass. The train bearing the soldiers then proceeded to the river bridge which the rebels had threatened to burn, and there they remained on guard until the immediate danger was over. Colonel Wilson and his men then sought the cap- ture of General Slack, but the wiley General was off for the forks of the river. The Federals placed a small cannon in the square and after a search for contraband of war and pris- oners, Colonel Wilson issued the following proclamation :
CHILLICOTHE, Mo., June 16, 1861.
I have been sent here by the United States Government for the purpose of putting down armed rebellion against the Government of the United States, and I call upon all good citizens to aid in carrying out the object. I call upon all companies or regiments of troops, whose object is not the upholding of the Government of the United States, to deliver

to me their arms and disperse immediately. Protection will be given to all peaceful citizens, and I hope the common avo- cations of life will be resumed, and trade and commerce go on their usual channels, and all the power at my command shall be extended to the utmost to protect all loyal citizens.
SAMUEL WILSON, Lieut .- Col., Commanding U. S. Forces.
From this day the Federal authorities had possession of most all the county, occupying Mooresville, Utica and the country along Medicine creek, east of Chillicothe. All the bridges in the county were carefully guarded and General Slack was allowed to occupy his position in Spring Hill until the 16th of June when he set out at midnight with some two hundred and fifty men, mostly volunteers from Livingston, Daviess and Grundy counties, hoping to reach Lexington, Missouri, before being detected or perhaps attacked by the Federals, who were making preparations for the capture of him and his little band. The General, however, succeeded in making his "get away" crossing the railroad near Moores- ville, Tinney's Point, Richmond and on to Lexington without molestation.
A paper called "The Illinois 16th" was issued by the typos of that regiment, using the material of the Constitution office. Francis Ashton was editor and he was assisted in his arduous duties by one Mat. Ashby. About two weeks later the Iowa "boys" took possession of the Grand River Chronicle, whose editor, Col. L. J. Easton, had quietly left town, and issued a sheet called "The Anti-Secessionist," Lieutenant T. I. McKenney of Company A and R. M. Littler of Company B were the Faber pushers.
The Livingston men took part in every principal engage- ment fought for Missouri in 1861. They were at Carthage, Wilson's Creek, Drywood and Lexington. In all these en- gagements they bore themselves bravely, and were highly commended by their commanders. At the desperate and bloody battle of Wilson's Creek the brunt of the Federal attack was sustained by Slack's division, and here some of

the hardest and best fighting of the day was done. General Slack was wounded very badly early in the conflict, and forced to leave the field. A musket ball struck the posterior portion of the hip, passing through the body, coming out in front through the groin. For a time his life was in great danger.
In the same engagement sixteen Livingston county Confed- erates were killed, viz .: Lieut .- Col. A. J. Austin, of the first regiment of cavalry, Slack's (4th) division, and the repre- sentative of the county ; ten men of Company A (Capt. N. G. Dyer), of the first regiment of infantry (Col. John T. Hughes), 4th division, as follows: James P. Minnick, Jesse Minnick, W. Black Martin, M. P. Duncan, William Hutch- inson, J. T. Rosson, L. M. Doyle, Nathaniel Tippet, John Ballenger and Wyatt Jennings. Captain Dyer's company, all Livingston men, from the vicinity of Spring Hill, lost more men than any other company on the Southern side. Other Livingston men killed in other companies were Samuel Bowman, James Stanford, Henry C. Lansing, John H. Wolf- skill and James Cloudas. At the battle of Carthage, Capt. John H. Stone, of Utica, commanding Company D, first reg- iment of cavalry (Colonel Rives), 4th division, was shot from his saddle and killed by a cannon ball, which passed through both legs.
In the fall of 1861 the third Iowa was stationed at Grand river bridge, while the thirty-ninth Ohio and fiftieth Illinois, with a small detachment of cavalry from Chillicothe were ordered to disperse some Confederate recruits and bush- whackers under the leadership of Joe Kirk. David Martin, Jim Ryder, and others, it was claimed, were annoying Federal sympathizers in that section. Four miles west of Graham's mill the thirty-ninth Ohio was fired on by Kirk's command, who were in ambush awaiting the Federals. In the attack one Federal was killed and several wounded. The Federal detachment then retreated. The Illinois troops then went northwest of Graham's mill and the day being Sunday, they attended religious service at the Lilly Grove Christian church. After the service the troops proceeded to the home of John Blackburn and burned the house alleging that he was
67
HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY
a bushwhacker. Blackburn then swore to fight the "Yankees" as long as he lived, which he did.
The first Union company organized in the county was composed of sixty-seven men, with Peter Sutliff as captain; A. C. Stone, first lieutenant and J. W. Anderson, second lieu- tenant. The company was known as the Livingston County Home Guards. The men were discharged from service by special order from General Pope after having done some scouting service in Livingston and adjoining counties.
In September, 1861, a company of cavalry was recruited in this county, consisting of some seventy men. Later it be- came Company E, Second Missouri, or better known as Mer- rill's Horse. The first officers of the company were Garrison Harker, captain; Wm. N. Norville, first lieutenant; S. W. McCoy, second lieutenant. A year later Harker was pro- moted to major, Norville became captain and S. L. Watson was commissioned first lieutenant. The company did active and efficient service throughout Missouri and Arkansas.
Colonel Tindall's regiment, the twenty-third Missouri, was stationed in Chillicothe during the winter of 1861-62, doing guard duty and protecting the several bridges in the county. The command left the county some time during March, 1862 and later took part in the battles of Shiloh and Pittsburg landing, when the regiment's loss was thirty killed, one hundred and seventy wounded and three hundred and seventy-five taken prisoners, Colonel Merrill himself being among the killed.
The feud that for a long time existed between the families of Tom Jennings and L. B. Kirk, finally resulted on the 12th of April, 1861, in the killing of Kirk and one Thomas Curtis on the northeast corner of what is now Elm Park. The kill- ing of Kirk, by Jennings was premeditated and intentional, but the death of Curtis was accidental. It appears that Kirk had threatened the life of Jennings and the latter being fore- warned always went prepared for Kirk. On the date named both men came to Chillicothe from the "forks" to trade and while placing his purchases in his wagon Kirk was shot and killed by Jennings, who had crept to within easy range and
68
HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY
fired the fatal shot. Thomas Curtis was standing within a rod of Kirk and he too dropped dead, two buckshot having struck him in a vital part of the body. The shot did not kill Kirk instantly, and as he fell, with part of his body hanging over the edge of the wagon, Jennings advanced and fired the other barrel of his gun into Kirk's body. Jennings surren- dered and had a preliminary examination before Justices of the Peace J. M. Alnutt and A. S. Hughes of Chillicothe. The court decided that the killing of Curtis was accidental but on the evidence produced Jennings was locked up. In a few weeks, however, he made his escape, going to the ter- ritory of Nebraska and was later arrested at Omaha. On his way back, in charge of an officer, his friends met the train on the H. & St. Joe road at Breckinridge and took him from the officers. Later, it was learned Jennings had joined Price's Confederates and gone south. The grand jury, at the Novem- ber term of court, in 1861, examined into the killing of the two men but found no bill against Jennings for the killing of either man. However, in the spring of 1862, Jennings having returned to the county, he was re-arrested and at the May term of the circuit court he was indicted for the murder of Kirk. He was tried at the July term of the court and ac- quitted. No charge was ever brought against him for the killing of Curtis.
Under General Schofield's general order No. 24, issued from his headquarters in St. Louis on the 4th day of August, 1862, requiring all persons liable to military duty to enroll themselves as either loyal or disloyal to the State and Gov- ernment, the following Livingston county citizens enrolled themselves as disloyal: Thomas B. Alnutt, Stephen Alnutt, Robert Alnutt, Joseph N. Alnutt, John T. Alnutt, James L. Alnutt, Crockett Austin, Andrew Austin, Wm. C. Austin, Spence H. Austin, John M. Austin, Alex.
