He received but a pioneer's education in the pioneer schoolhouse, built of logs, with clapboard and weight-pole roof, paper windows, punch- eon desks, seats and floor; and, in fact, the family mansion was a similar edifice, and where, instead of a Chickering piano, or an Estey organ, the howling baritones of wolves could be heard. Now how changed! His farm blossoms as the rose; the wild woods have forever disappeared. Horses, cattle and farm stock roam over his pleasant fields, and as regards the raising of horses, he is second to none in Rush Creek Tp. in the quality of

Archibald married Miss Amy Johnson, Nov. 21, 1847; she was the daughter of George and Mary Johnson, and her grand- parents were William and Mary Johnson, uniting families whose origin was transat- lantic, and whose systems of faith were impregnated with the Calvinism and rigid orthodoxy of the two countries, and so it comes on down as a hereditary but healthy system of religious sentiments, as strongly marked in the present as in the past genera- tions, respecting the last parties above indi- cated. William was Irish and Mary German by lineal descent. Now Archibald Lament's family genealogy ends by giving the names and births of his children, the deaths and marriages, also. First, we have Robert Fillis, born Oct. 11, 1848, married Sally Carter, and is now a resident of Hardin Co .; William Boyd, born Oct. 14, 1849, died July 25, 1850; Wil- liam Boyd, second (named for his deceased brother), born Oct. 21, 1850, now in Pawnee City, Neb .; Euphemia Jane, born March 10, 1852; Mary Ann, March 12, 1854; John, April 21, 1857, died Sept. 9, 1822; Sarah, born Ang. 21. 1860; George, May 15, 1862; Elizabeth, Ang. 16, 1864; James Wright, Feb. 8, 1861; Archibald Alexander, Sept. 6, 1869; Samuel Martin, March 13, 1872. Archibald Lament is a farmer by choice, and delights in agri- cultural pursuits. Like many Hibernians of Protestant parentage, he has received a liberal education, as well as Christian training, and received his catechism from his parents as regularly as his food and raiment. A Cov- enanter then, he is one still, a deacon in the church, and with determined precision travel- ing on to Heaven in the way his fathers trod. He is a natural-born mechanic, being a car- penter, a mason and plasterer of more than average proficiency. Notliwithstanding he never served an apprenticeship to either trade. He raises cattle, sheep, horses and hogs, and uses more care in their improvement than is usual with farmers in general. He not only has a share in the Public Library, but sub- scribes for all good books, and, with true intellectual foresight, places himself in the list for his county's history, and thus sends
