CHAPTER XXXII.

' TOWN OF DECATUR.

The town of Decatur lies in the eastern tier of Green county's sub-divisions, embracing con- gressional township 2 north, range 9 east. It is bounded on the north by the town of Al- bany; on the west by Sylvester; on the south by Spring Grove; and on the east by Rock county. The surface of this town is quite varia- ble. What is known as Jordan prairie-which comprises sections 6, 7, 8, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 27 and 28-is a rich productive portion of the town and was the first settled. Here located John Moore, Thomas Chambers, John J. Daw- son, Samuel Rowe, Robert Mattox, E. T. Fleek, William Jones, Benjamin H. Fleek, Samuel Northcraft, Donald Johnson, David Bigelow, Thomas Stewart, J. I. Bowen, Perry and Wash- ington Mitchell and others. The soil of this prairie consists of a rich loam mixed with sand, and is superior corn land. It also produces ex- cellent crops of small grain and grass, and on the whole, is not excelled perhaps in the State for its general excellence. Of late years much attention has been paid to the raising of stock by the farmers here. South of Jordan prairie the land is lower, or more inclined to be marshy, the soil being composed of more or less clay, and in places a black loam. This portion of the town, however, contains a number of valua- ble farms, among which are those belonging to French Lake, John Douglass and Rufus Colton.

Along Sugar river, which runs entirely across the town from north to south, the surface is generally low, and composed alternately of sand, clay and marsh. In fact the entire surface of that portion of the town which lies east of

Sugar river may be thus described. Among the successful farmers and stock raisers on the east side of the river are: W. E. Gardner, A. Murray, N. L. Lewis, R. J. Day and C. D. Wooster.

A ridge, considerably elevated, enters this town on section 6, from the town of Albany, passing southeasterly and terminating on sec- tion 22. Several bluffs of considerable height -which are really a part of this ridge-are found on Sugar river. The highest of these bluffs is on section 15, where it rises to a height of 200 feet above the river. The view from the top of this bluff is fine, the surround- ing country and river being brought into view for miles in every direction, The principal stream in the town is Sugar river, which enters from the town of Albany, by way of section 3. It pursues an irregular southerly course, and leaves the town from the southwest corner of section 35. This is the most important stream in Green county, and at Brodhead affords an excellent water power. There are several branches of this stream which make confluence in this town. Little Jordan creek enters the town on section 18, flows east and northeast and enters Sugar river on section 15. Sugar creek, which is quite an important stream, affording several mill privileges, enters this town on sec- tion 19, flows southeasterly, and leaves the town from section 34. It enters the Sugar river in the town of Spring Grove. Riley's creek, a branch of Sugar creek, rises in the town of Jef- ferson, enters this town on section 31, and makes confluence with Sugar creek on section 28.

788

HISTORY OF GREEN COUNTY.

Broughton's creek rises in the town of Albany, enters this town on section 1, flows southwest about three miles, and on section 14 flows into S. C. Pierce's mill race.

The ridge which has heretofore been de- scribed, was formerly heavily timbered with different varieties of oak, poplar, and some black walnut and hickory. The greater part of this timber has been removed "long years ago." In the southwestern portion of the town, par- ticularly on section 31, in early days, was found a heavy body of white oak ; and throughout nearly all of the territory east of the river were found oak openings. Almost all of the original timber has been removed, giving place to a second growth. In fact, at present, a greater area is covered with timber than when the town was first settled.

EARLY SETTLEMENT.

The first settler within the limits now com- prising the town of Decatur was John Moore, who came here in the early autumn of 1839. He entered 160 acres on section 20, and eighty acres of fine timber land on section 31, and did some breaking the same fall preparatory to a crop the following year. This was the first breaking, and his crop of 1840 the first in the town. He erected a log house on section 20, in the fall of 1839, which was the first building in the town. This house is still occupied as a dwelling. John Moore was formerly from the Sciota valley, Ohio, but came here with his fam- ily from Stephenson Co., Ill., where for several years he had been living on a claim. His fam- ily, when he came here, consisted of a wife and seven children, four sons and three daughters. He sold out about 1859 and removed to Mis- souri, where he died at an advanced age several years ago. The family all removed to Missouri at about the same time.

John J. Dawson and Samuel Rowe came in the spring of 1840 and entered land, settling thereon in the fall. They both located on sec- tion 20, where Mr. Dawson still lives. Mr.

Rowe has been dead a number of years. Ilis son, Amos C., owns and occupies the old home- stead.

John J. Dawson is the oldest resident of the town now living here. He was born in Hamp- shire Co., W. Va., Sept. 15, 1814, and when twenty-one years old went to Licking Co., Ohio. In August of the following year he went to Ga- lena, Ill. He had worked at the trade of mill- wright in Virginia, which knowledge proved an available resource, and was the means of se- curing him employment at times when a little money was with him a necessity. After re- maining in Galena a few days, and earning a few dollars to enable him to continue his jour- ney, he went to what was called "Buffalo Grove," Ogle Co., Ill., where he engaged to work at his trade, and during his stay in that vicinity assisted in building a number of saw mills. In January, 1837, he went to Stephen- son Co., Ill., where he bought a claim and built a log cabin. In the spring next following he returned to Ogle county, but soon afterward went to what is now Sabula, Jackson Co., Iowa, where he built a saw mill. He worked also at the same business in Carroll Co., Ill. During the fall of 1838 he returned to his claim in Stephenson county, where he remained the fol- lowing winter. He was accompanied by Samuel Rowe, who came to this county with Mr. Daw- son, and became his partner. Mr. Rowe worked and improved the claim, and Mr. Daw- son continued his business of millwrighting. In the spring of 1840 he returned to Jackson county with the intention of buying land, but came back to Stephenson county without hav- ing made a purchase. Green Co., Wis., having been highly recommended as a desirable place to settle, Mr. Dawson and his partner, Mr. Rowe, came here in the spring of 1840 and en- tered 240 acres of land, 160 of which was a part of his present homestead farm, where he has since lived. Here he commenced life's work in earnest, and has been successful. He now has a farm of 360 acres, and for many

years has been known as one of the prominent farmers and stock raisers in the town of De- catur. Mr. Dawson has been twice married, first in November, 1840, to Mary Ann Parriott, a native of West Virginia. She died in 1862. By this union there were eight children, six of whom are now living, three sons and three daughters. His present wife, to whom he was married Oct. 22, 1871, was Harriett Baird, daughter of William Baird, and a native of the town of Clarno, this county. They have had six children, four of whom, two sons and two daughters, are living-George Elmer, May Elisabeth, Sarah Fannie and Jessie W. The children by first wife are-John P., deceased; Ann Genett, Adrianna, deceased; Bevans Adie, Samuel N., Elmira Ann, Wolford P. and J. F. Mr. Dawson was originally a whig, then a re- publican, now he is a republican and prohibi- tionist. He is a member of the M. E. Church.

Thomas Chambers came early in 1840 with his family, and settled on section 19. He was a son-in-law of John Moore, the first settler in the town. After a few years residence in the town Chambers removed to Galesburg, Ill., from thence to Kansas, and finally went to Colorado, where he died.

Edmund T. Fleek and Robert Mattox came in the fall of 1841. Mr. Fleek entered eighty acres of prairie and forty acres of timber land on section 17, where he still lives. Mr. Mattox entered eighty acres on section 17, adjoining Mr. Fleek's on the north ; and bought eighty acres of timber land on section 4. He remained here until 1848 when he removed to Baraboo, and afterward went to Missouri.

ness Edmund engaged when a boy. Mr. Fleek is a half brother of John Dawson. The first winter of his arrival in this county he cnt and split 10,000 rails and stakes on shares, receiving one-half for his work. This was his start in this country. Many a young man might profit by this example. He at once began improving his farm, and has kept adding from time to time to his first purchase, until he now owns 1,000 acres in a body, being one of the largest grain and stock farms in the county. During the past four years he has expended for land, over $17,000. Thus it may be seen that Mr. Fleek is a man of energy and good business ca- pacity. His parents, Adam and Mary Ann Fleek, came to this town in 1846, accompanied by seven children. Of the family already here at that time, beside Edmund and Benjamin I leek, were John Dawson and Mrs. Northcraft, who were children of Mrs. Fleek by a former mar- riage. Adam Fleek settled on section 17, where he lived until his death, which occurred in 1854, at the age of seventy-nine years. The mother survived him until October, 1883, when she died, in her eighty-eighth year. Adam Fleek was twice married. By the first marriage there were seven children, and by the second nine, who lived to an adult age. Edmund T. Fleek, the subject of this sketch, was married to Sarah Ann Bowen, daughter of John and Isa- bell Bowen, who was born in Fayette Co., Penn, Feb. 20, 1828, and removed to Johnson Co., Iowa, during the spring of 1844. Her father died the following August. Her mother died at Wankon, Iowa, where she was visiting her children, Dec. 25, 1875. Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Fleek have ten children, four sons and six daughters-Rinaldo, Emma V., Fannie F., Arthur E., Florence L., John L., Annie L., Alta J., Nellie M. and Howard H. Mr. Fleek originally was a whig, and still adheres to those principles, but votes with the republican party, as they most nearly represent those principles. Religiously, he was at one time a Universalist,
