THE GUE FAMILY
By Mrs. Anna Bronson Lutes, Urbana, III., 1922.

The parents of John Wesley Gue were of English-Holland descent, and their lineage is traced to the Pilgrim Fathers. They lived for a time in the Connecticut valley, then Manhattan Island, afterward moving to Pennsylvania. Leaving Pennsylvania, John Wesley Gue went to Southern Ohio, where he worked as a "cabinet maker". At Neville, Ohio, he became acquainted with and married a Miss J. T. Borrodale. She was born April 26, 1817 at Moorestown, New Jersey, of English parents, and had moved with her parents to Neville, Ohio, where she grew to womanhood. Soon after their marriage in 1839 Mr. and Mrs. Gue moved to Ripley, Ohio, where he became a steamboat captain, making regular trips down the Ohio River to the Mississippi, and thence to New Orleans.

In 1849 they moved to Groveland, Illinois, and the next year (1850) to Princeville, Illinois. Mr. Gue kept a general store at Princeville for two years or until his death, which occurred May 21, 1852. He died a victim of the cholera epidemic whose fatal ravages were severely felt at this time. Left a widow with three children, Mrs. Gue took her husband's place in the store, and reared and educated her children, their first school being in the little stone school house. Afterward Nina attended school at Wesleyan Female College, Cincinnati, Ohio; George studied for the ministry at Abingdon College, and was a classmate of the Rev. Charles Ayling, a playmate of his youth; William completed his education in the Princeville schools.

The Gue's were devout Methodists. John Wesley Gue helped with money and influence to build the first M. E. Church in Princeville. Their home was often a stopping place for the "Circuit Riders" of that day. among them the famous Peter Cartwright. At the age of nineteen George Gue was admitted to the Peoria M. E. Conference. When the Civil War broke out, he enlisted as a private in 108th Illinois Volunteers. Promoted to Chaplain, he was with his regiment in every battle during the term of service, and at the siege of Vicksburg he came into possession oi a large key to the Confederate prison where Federal soldiers were confined. His mother gave this key to the writer, who prizes it highly as a relic.
During the war Rev. George Gue was married to Miss Anna Roberts of Peoria. In 1865 he returned with his regiment to Peoria. He was State Chaplain for the G. A. R. for a time, and a collection of poems, "Our Country's Flag" was published by him. For forty-two years Rev. Gue was active in the ministry, part of that time as presiding elder. He was for a number of years connected with the Extension Society of New York, a delegate to the general conference a number of times, was elected delegate to the Ecumenical Council at London, England, but was compelled to resign on account of the serious illness of his wife. The last eleven years of his life he lived in Portland, Oregon; four years as pastor, remaining years as presiding elder. Two Colleges conferred the degree D. D. upon him. His passing from this world was sudden indeed. He dropped dead on the streets of Portland. It can be truly said "he died in the harness
Nina, second child of John W. Gue, married D. L. T. Bronson and lived twenty-four years on their farm near Princeville. (See Bronson sketch elsewhere in this Vol.)
William Gue enlisted as a drummer boy at the age of sixteen in the civil war. He was twice a prisoner, was in Andersonville Prison nine months (26 days without food.) At one time he was reported

dead. After the war william Gue was married to Hannah Dunlap of Iowa. He was a telegraph operator and station agent, moving from Iowa to Nebraska, then to Kansas. Three years before his death he had a severe attack of typhoid fever from which he never fully recovered. He was brought to his mother's home near Princeville, where he died, leaving a widow and one child.
The second marriage of Mrs. John W. Gue was to Phineas Bronson. He died February, 1878, leaving her with one child, Eugene. They moved to Urbana, llinois in 1883, where she died October 18, 1890. Burial at Princeville. Eugene, not married, is living in South Dakota.

MARGARET HAMLIN NIXON HEWITT.
A Tribute: By S. S. Slane, 1922.

The Slane Family history in Vol. I. refers to Benjamin Slane's coming from Virginia, and adds the following: "In that same Virginia community were two other families, those of Jonathan Nixon and William Nixon, forming with Mr. Slane's family a little group bound together by ties of relationship and common good will and interests". Jonathan and William Nixon were not related, but Jonathan was a cousin of Mrs. Slane's.
The movements of the three families are then traced to Ohio; to Fort Clark, now Peoria, in 1831; to Rosefield Township, in 1835; and to Princeville, in 1840. Jonathan Nixon and his wife Elizabeth had but one child (except two who died in infancy). The little girl, born in Princeville, Feb. 23, 1842, was named for Margaret Hamlin (Mrs. Oren Hamlin), whom Mrs. Nixon valued as a dear friend of the years spent in Peoria.
As Mr. Benjamin Slane had been left a widower with his six small children, quoting again from the

article in Vol. I., "Mrs. Nixon became almost a second mother to his children, who even now bear in grateful memory her care of them at that time".
Mr. Nixon was a cabinet maker and house carpenter (though crippled) and made all the coffins in Princeville for years. lie also made spinning wheels. His home was on Lot 2, Block 21, Original Village, and he was the first town clerk for Princeville under township organization.
As the little girl Margaret grew up, she was in the Slane home much as a sister to the Slane children, eating meals interchangeably at either house. As a child, she was very bright, learned readily and headed her class in school. All through life she was a great reader. She was a fine penman, and a beautiful singer (as were both of her parents) and robust in health.
She was married in 1861 to James Hewitt, a young attorney. They settled in Toulon, and later moved to Cambridge, Illinois, Mr. Hewitt practicing law for several years. Their only child, Mabel, was born at Toulon.
From Cambridge Mr. and Mrs. Hewitt moved to Red Oak, Montgomery Co., Iowa. Here Mr. Hewitt was elected and re-elected Circuit Judge, dying before the expiration of his second term. Their daughter Mabel here married Win. E. Butler who was then Court Reporter in her father's Court. Mrs. Hewitt died at the home of her daughter in Council Bluffs on Aug. 20, 1921, and was buried beside her husband at Red Oak.
As one grows older, and nearer the sun down of life, the memories of four score years ago recall not only the pictures of babyhood and girlhood, but also of womanhood and motherhood, as represented by Mrs. Hewitt. The kindnesses and friendships of pioneer days continue to the present time.

NOTE. Mr. Slane, after approving final draft of the above said, "It was wonderful the way the neighbor women helped each other in those days. It is true a

family got into town once in a while that had to be 'drummed out' by shooting off the anvils at their corner until they caught the hint; but the families that stayed and were congenial, were very congenial.
"When Mr. Sherman,—Moses Reeves Sherman, who lived where Warren Bouton's home is,—was starting to Missouri, following Daniel Prince down there, everybody in town turned out to tell the family goodbye. The women, in their calico dresses and aprons, were weeping as if they would never see the Sherman women again,—which they did not,—and wiping their eyes on their apons.
"Mr. Sherman, called on for a speech, stood in the wagon which was to be their means of conveyance. He closed by saying,
"'Now, I have always been called Bishop Sherman, and with me gone, you will have no Bishop. I therefore appoint Jonathan Nixon to be Bishop in my place.'
"And it was 'Bishop Nixon' to the end of Mr. Nixon's days."

THE JACOB HOAG FAMILY.
By Stephen S. Hoag, 1920.

Jacob Hoag was born in Otsego Co., New York, Oct. 10, 1814. At the age of two years, he moved with his parents to Niagara Co., N. Y., where he was reared and educated. On coming to Illinois in 1838, he lived for a short time on land now included within the limits of Chicago. He lived in Peoria about a year when he purchased and settled on a farm—the N. W. 1/4 Section 29, Akron Township. He paid $2.50 per acre for this land. This was his home for over sixty years.
In April 1839, he was married to Abigail Hill, youngest daughter of the Rev. John Hill. The marriage ceremony took place in a log cabin which stood about 40 rods South West of the Slane lime kiln, and

same distance East of the Washington Wear residence. Seven children blessed this union, six of whom grew to maturity, viz: Albert S.; Edwin R.; Amelia (Barnett); Alma P. (Nelson); John C.; Naia (Cutler) who died 42 years ago; and Stephen S., the author of this sketch. Two of the sons were in the Union army Edwin R. serving three years and five months in Peoria Battery, and Albert S. one year and three months.
Jacob Hoag was reared a Quaker but left that church when he married the daughter of a Methodist minister. He was trustee of the M. E. church for many years. Jacob Hoag died March 11, 1897. His wife Abigail Hill Hoag died August 4, 1888. Both are buried in the Princeville cemetery.

KEADY FAMILY IN PEORIA COUNTY. By Alex. Keady, 1922.

In the month of April, 1849, Samuel G. Keady and Eleanor Yates his wife embarked on a Steam Boat at Wheeling, West Virginia, (as it is now) for the great and undeveloped West, and after a two weeks voyage down the Ohio, up the Mississippi and Illinois they landed in the small town which is now "Greater Peoria." They with nine children had left their home in a two room log cabin in the woods to seek a home on the famous Prairies of Illinois, where they were preceded by Joseph Yates and Dr. Thomas Yates, brothers of Mrs. Keady, and by John Hervey and their families.
The Keady family consisted of ten children, who are mentioned in succession in this paragraph. Mary Fans was born in 1831, married in 1860 to Peter Kelly. He died in Dunlap. She is still living at the age of 90. Jane Yates was born in 1833, was married in 1856 to Robert M. Hamilton, who died in 1858. She was married the second time to William Martin in 1871 and he too is dead. She died at Chenoa, Ill., in 1903. Elizabeth Clark was born in 1834, was married to Joseph Yates,

Jr. in 1856. He died in 1877, and she died in Florida in 1889. Thomas Keady was born in 1836, was a member of Co. A 47th III. Infantry, and in 1866 was married to Rebecca Martin, who is still living in Dunlap. Thomas died in Dunlap in 1918. Martha A. was born in 1838, was married in 1861 to Nathan Amzi Means, who died in Akron, Ohio. She, too, died in Akron, Ohio, in 1911. Alex Keady was born in 1841, and in 1871 was married to Maggie H. Wilder, who died in 1883. In 1886 he was married to Cora F. Schnebly, both still living. Alex served in the 151st Illinois. Louisa F. was born in 1843 and in 1867 she was married to Samuel M. Coburn. He died at Interlachen, Florida, in 1913. Mrs. Coburn is still living in Florida. Emma D. was born in 1845, and in 1864 was married to Kirk E. Brown who died at Dunlap in 1867. Mrs. Brown is still living at Boone, Iowa. Barbara B. was born in 1847, and in 1874 was married to Judson Eugene Parish at Dunlap, who died at Dunlap in 1874. Mrs. Parish died in 1920. Samuel Breese Keady was born at Dunlap in 1851; was never married. He made the trip around the world in 1886-1887, and also to Europe a few years later. He was killed on the Northwestern Rail Road near Dunlap in 1914.
Thomas, Martha and Louisa E. were pupils at the old Princeville Academy before the War, when it was conducted by Profs. Rev. Stone and Nathan A. Means. Samuel B. took a course in Brown's Commercial School in its early days. Barbara B. attended College at Knoxville, Illinois. All the others got a meagre education in the very common schools of the early days, mostly in a primitive log school house on a side hill in the woods of West Virginia. The children were seated on hewed slab seats, each seat braced up on four legs. The "3 R's" were the courses taught in those primitive schools.
When the Keady family arrived in Peoria County, they purchased and occupied the South West Quarter of Section 1, Radnor Township, where Alvin Bushnell had begun to make a farm home. Alex still tells of

driving 5 yoke of oxen to a 32 inch breaking plow. breaking up the prairie sod on many eastern Radnor farms. That was the day of ox cart travel, reap-hook and cradle harvesters,—before the days of reapers or self binders. Corn was all dropped by hand; corn was shelled with hand power shellers, and the most primitive implements and methods were in use. Peoria was the only market in all that country, not a mile of railroad in the state; no roads, no bridges, but deer and other game a-plenty; no Church nearer than Princeville eight miles away.
The Keady's were all strong Presbyterians and the Church was next in importance to the home. About 1852 the "Prospect" Presbyterian Church was organized with six Keady names on the charter, and others added as they grew up. Out of the round dozen names on the family roll, only four are left alive today: Mary Kelly, 90; Alex, 80; Lou Coburn, 78; and Emma Brown, 76. Samuel G., the father, died in 1853 of Malarial fever so pevalent in the early days, his grave being the first dug in the Cemetery north of Dunlap.

THE WM. OWENS FAMILY.
By Phronia Owens Hall, 1922.

William Owens was born in Staunton, Virginia, 1821. Mary Emily Bagley, his wife, was born in Athens, Ohio, 1825. They came West in 1844. On Christmas day of that year, William Owens came on horseback to Princeville looking for a place to locate, leaving his wife and two children at a settler's, back on the trail. He was met as he came to the edge of the Village by Benjamin Slane who kindly assisted him in finding a place to locate.
Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Owens: Frederick Merrick, Hannah Ellen, Lydia Sophia, Sarah Emily, Ann Eliza, William (died at birth), Mary Sophronia, William Fletcher, Eddy Watson, and Car-

rie Belle. All are dead but Lydia (Mrs. Streeter), Sophronia (Mrs. Hall) and Carrie Belle (who never married), these three sisters living together in Chicago at the date of this article.
In the year 1855, Mr. Owens bought the hotel site, entire South Half of Block 11, Original Village of Princeville. The E. Russell house on the South West corner had been used for hotel purposes since 1848, Captain John Williams being the tavern keeper until Mr. Owens purchased the property in the year stated. Mr. Owens replaced the old Russell dwelling by a larger hotel building, which later contained the office of the Arlington House, and to this day is the office part of the "Logan-Lee Highway" hotel.
During the Lincoln and Douglas campaigns, many noted speakers were entertained at "The Travelers' Rest," as Mr. Owens called his hotel. (The Owens daughters were singers of marked ability, both during and after the close of the war, and it is said that some of their solos were heard in the quiet of many evenings, all over town. They sang both at home, in church, at public meetings and in Peoria.—Ed.)
The Travelers' Rest was also a famous rendezvous, with midnight suppers, for hunting parties that had been spending the day, or more than one day, up along Spoon River, and had reached as far as Princeville on their return to Peoria.
Mr. and Mrs. Owens being active members of the Methodist Church, their hotel home swarmed with ministers and elders at time of Quarterly and revival meetings. On such occasions, the children had to sleep on the floor. No chance for them at the first table, nor the second; and by the time the third was spread,— well, the little folks called it "leavins".
Mr. Owens, upon the death of his father Geo. Owens, was taken as an infant and raised by his grandfather John Cockrell of Virginia. This grandfather was a great hunter and Wm. Owens, when a lad, often accompanied him on his trips in the mountains of that state. These glorious hunting days furnished ma-

terial for many a reminiscence for Mr. Owens' older years. Mrs. Owens' mother, Lydia Townsend of New York, was a cousin of U. S. Senator Martin I. Townsend, and traced her ancestry back to the Standishes.
Mrs. Owens, after serving as nurse for several years, became a physician, what they called an "Eclectic" in those days. At that time they did not have the routine of medical schools to pass through, just a "permit" from city authorities. Under such a "permit" Mrs. Owens practiced very successfully for many years. Always a woman of great energy and a desire to do good in the world, and of independent action, she went, in the year 1878, to New Orleans to help nurse yellow fever patients during the great epidemic then raging. After about three months heroic service, she herself succumbed to the disease, and Rev. John Mathews, Pastor of Corondolet St. Church, wrote to the family in part as follows:
"Your mother came to our city the last part of August. The day after her arrival she attended my church, and informed me of the purpose of her coming. When I told her 'I am sorry to see you,' (we feared for the stranger; the epidemic was sweeping away our people, as a storm bears the leaves of a forest), she rebuked me by saying, 'Is it possible you talk that way after preaching such a sermon, one so encouraging?'
"It was not that we did not appreciate motives so noble, but nearly every stranger had died up to that time. But she was here, I undertook to make her feel at home, and introduced her to friends. She applied to the Howard association for a place to work. They refused to appoint her, fearing she would take the fever and die. The Young Men's Christian Association also refused. We all felt that we could not send her to places where the fever raged. Your mother visited my office again and again, consulting. 'I must work!' she said. I suggested to her, to go and visit the needy poor, where no fever existed. I gave her places,

she began on that line and soon proved such a blessing, that every heart was open.
"Not satisfied, she published an article in one of our city papers, telling of her object and motives. Persons applied at once and soon she was in the midst of the fever. I was sorry—but could not keep her back. How like an Angel of blessing she moved up and down our streets! Day and night she carried gladness and joy into stricken homes She went to see the poor and neglected, those that had no friends, and gave money, time and prayers. It was a three-fold blessing she conferred..
"As time passed, she became more widely known, and they were sending for her on all sides. When I was able (after a siege of yellow fever myself) to go to my office, she communicated with me; and I wondered at her preservation. She told all along, "Yes, yes, Bro. Mathews is afraid I will take the fever, but he will have it, and live to bury me'. She did not signify she would have the fever. Your mother was possessed with the idea that she would not take it. So with many others, but such an idea does not keep it off.
"On Sunday, the 10th of November, your mother began to show signs of the malady and she died on the 16th (Nov. 16, 1878) You should rejoice that such a woman was your mother. She had filled her mission. Her work was done. That name 'Owens' is embalmed in many hearts The city papers paid a tribute to her memory. I cut out three articles and sent to Dr. Thomas with a lengthy account of your dear mother, now an Angel, and a blessed child of light. The tears over her coffin, and at the cemetery, indicated the love borne her. We feel, as I wrote Dr. Thomas, 'She died for us.' I have but little spare time, but I felt it was due you— due the memory of this glorified woman—to be explicit with her children Her three months life amongst us was worth a hundred common lives, worth a thousand sermons !"

The children were married and scattered far and wide. Mr. Owens continued to make his home in Princeville through an honored old age, and died at Princeville on Feb. 24, 1902.

THE RIEL FAMILY
By Mrs. Rose King Gresham, 1920.

Peter Riel was born June 4, 1814 at Niagara, Canada. He was married to Mary Klinck who was born May 21, 1817 at Richmond Hill, Canada, about fifteen miles west of the pretty city of Toronto. They were the parents of thirteen children, of whom the following were born in Canada: Rosanna, (Mrs. Joseph Higgs) March 12, 1838, (deceased); Sarah Catherine, (Mrs. Walter Evans) August 31, 1839, Chillicothe, Ill.; Margaret, April 25, 1841, (deceased) ; Leonard, April 27, 1843, (deceased); Martha, September 1,1845, (deceased) ; John Wesley, April 8,1847, Peoria, Ill.; Mary, (Mrs. Henry King) April 2, 1849, Denver, Cob. Those born after coming to Illinois were William James, May 27, 1851, (died in infancy) ; Arilla, August 31, 1853, Princeville, Ill.; Peter Leslie, August 30, 1857, Princeville, Ill.; Joseph and Josephine, twins, (died in infancy); Emma, (Mrs. Lynn McNeal) Nov. 10, 1859.
Mr. and Mrs. Riel lived in Canada until 1850, when they journeyed to Illinois by team and covered wagon which seemed to be the most popular way of travel at that time. With them they brot their dog "Danger" which followed closely by foot all the way. In the excitement of getting across the Illinois river, the dog was forgotten. He, not meaning to be left behind, swam across, safely reaching the opposite side.
The wagon of Mr. Riel and family was followed for some distance by a band of what was thought to be highwaymen. One member of the Riel family overheard a conversation in which it was agreed upon that all should be killed but the baby, who happens to be none other than the writer's mother, Mrs. Henry

King. They were thrown off the trail by the family stopping over night at a farmhouse. We cannot help but wonder what would have been the life of the "baby" had these plans been carried out.
The first two months in Illinois were spent in Peoria. From there, Mr. Riel took his family to Princeville. Records show that on Oct. 31, 1850 he purchased the East One-half of the Northwest quarter of section 26, paying $450 for this eighty acres. Later, he purchased more land, making one hundred sixty acres in all. They first built a small brick house, but, later, a larger and better one.
Mr. and Mrs. Riel were both members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, as were their children. They were a conscientious and industrious people. Little is known of Mr. Riel's earlier life, but after coming to Illinois, he, as did all early settlers, had many hardships to face and difficulties to overcome. It was thru hard work that he and his wife made for themselves and family a home.
Mrs. Riel came from a family noted for their longevity. She was the daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Grant Klinck, who lived to be 105 years of age. A sister, Mrs. Zilla McMurtry, died a few years ago in Lacon, Ill., at the age of 101.
The writer, often, when a child, delighted to sit at Grandma's knee and listen to the interesting stories told of many exciting experiences had in the earlier days with the Canadian Indians. She was of a cheerful disposition, and it is remembered that only a short time previous to her death, she was seen playing a joke on one of ber grandchildren.
Mrs. Riel was also noted for her generosity. Never was a person in want turned from her door without the help she could give. Even though her house was filled and crowded, there was always room (even though necessary to make a bed on the floor) for the stranger who needed shelter for the night. Many times entire families were protected from the storm or

the cold under her hospitable roof. No questions asked. The mere fact that help was needed was sufficient. On one instance a family, including several small children, was taken in, and, it is believed, were actually saved from freezing to death. They were moving across country and the weather was bitter cold. The mother said to Mrs. Riel "God bless you, dear woman, you have saved my children. We have tried for miles around and none would take us in."
Mr. Riel died May 4,1879 on the farm where they had lived since settling in Princeville Township. His wife died August 23 1902 in the town of Princeville, where she had moved some time after her husband's death. Both are resting in the Princeville Cemetery.

ADDITIONAL ON THE RIEL FAMILY.
By Sarah C. Evans, 1920.

(This sketch was received by the committee, subsequent to Mrs. Gresham's above.)

My grandmother Klinck, who lived to be 105 years old, was married first to Calvin Grant, an uncle of General Grant, and by this marriage there were two children. Sometime after Mr. Grant's death, she married Leonard Klinck, who was a fine school master and a prominent Free Mason (his was the first Masonic funeral held in Princeville, in 1852).
We are of mixed ancestry, both German and Irish on our father's side, and English, German and Scotch on our mother's side.
I recollect as a child in Canada, my sister Rosanna and I had to travel day after day two miles to school, both winter and summer. In winter the cold was severe and snow drifts often above tops of the fences.

At time of one snow storm, someone failed to cover the fire with ashes one night and, as matches were never thought of like they are now, father had to take the old iron teakettle and go to a neighbor's for some coals. After that we saw that a bed of coals was always well covered. What would this young and rising generation think today, if this bit of history would overtake them?
Another incident occurs to me. Father had a sugar camp where every season we children all did our part in gathering sap and watching the boiling kettles. The Indians had their wigwams all through that "sugar bush" as we called that Maple grove, and father aimed to always have someone on guard over the boiling syrup. This year, when the three days' boiling process was all but finished and father had called "sugar off" meaning that he was ready to pour the sugar into cakes, in buckets, etc., and he was starting to the house for dinner, he said, as the Indians had not disturbed anything that year, we might all go home and have a warm dinner. While we were gone, the Indians stole all three days' sugar.
Later on, after building a fine house and new barn, my father got the fever to move to Illinois. My mother protested against any move, but father finally won over, sold out at a good price, bought a new wagon, rigged up and started for Illinois,—to roam over the vast prairies, as he used to state to the family. That was in the fall of 1850.
We took the boat at Toronto, traveling part by water and part by land. I recollect how sick we all got on Lake Erie. Our large black dog would watch the wagon and stay with the horses. We always saw that he was safe with us, and he protected us, when we would walk at times. Through the Indiana swamps for some distance there were great blacksnakes, from which he protected us. We finally landed in Peoria, fall of 1850.

Father and mother were very strict with us, many thanks to them for it. Mother used to spin yarn and teach us to knit our own stockings and mittens, also to sew. We had always to be found under their roof at night; they never allowed us to go to dances. They had a family altar, would read a chapter in the morning and sing a hymn, and the same at night. They belonged to the Methodist belief; I always thought my mother was a little selfish as regards other churches. She did not want us to go to any other church. I married Walter T. Evans in 1863 and have lived on the homestead here near Chillicothe, Illinois, ever since.

HON. WILLIAM ROWCLIFFE.
By James F. Rowcliffe, 1922.

Hon. William Rowcliffe, one of the early settlers of Illinois, was born March 12, 1818 in Devonshire, England. His father John Rowcliffe, who was prominent in public affairs in the Parish of Swinebridge, lived on a farm, and William was the oldest of a family of six children. His school advantages were limited, and under the subscription system.
He was 18 years old when the family left Biddeford, England, on the sailing vessel "Ebenezer" and after a stormy voyage of six weeks arrived at New York. He remained with his father in Huron Co., Ohio, until he came of age, then begun working out by the month and year, continuing his education at night school and on Sundays.
He was married June 5th, 1841 to Mary Ford, daughter of the Rev. James Ford of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Rev. Ford came to America in 1833, settling in Huron County, Ohio where he died three months after his arrival. To William and Mary Rowcliffe were born seven children: Mary Jane, wife

of Aaron C. Moffit, died Jan. 29th, 1886; John Wesley, who died Dec. 7th, 1916; Betsy Ann Smith, living in Akron, Ohio; Celeste Isabel, wife of Albert N. Case, died May 6th, 1915; George W., still living on the farm in Jubilee Township; James F., living in Peoria, Ill.; and Charles Edmond, living in Twin Falls, Idaho. Mrs. Rowcliffe died Jan. 3rd, 1888, and all the members of the family who have died are buried in the Princeville Cemetery.
For two or three years after his marriage he rented a farm, then buying a tract near Norwalk, Ohio, which he improved and operated until the spring of 1853. Selling then, he turned his footsteps toward Peoria County, to which place he had been induced to come. He shipped his goods to Chicago, whence he was conveyed by team to Peoria, finding but a small town where now a flourishing city stands.
Locating in Kickapoo Township, he farmed for the first summer, and the following spring rented 160 acres in Jubilee Township, known as the Radley farm. In 1855 he bought 160 acres on Section 11, the following year adding 160 acres on Section 12. The land was raw prairie, bare of improvements, and to first turn the tough sod, it was necessary to use five yoke of oxen on the breaking plows.
Mr. Rowcliffe was active in both Township, County, and State politics, having served as collector, assessor, etc. Deeply interested in education, and in building public school houses, he was among the first directors of his district, and served as director for more than forty years. He was a member of the County board of supervisors when the present Court House was built. For twenty four years he held the office of Justice of the Peace. Nominated and elected to the legislature on the Republican ticket, he served in the Twenty-ninth session.
He was a devout Christian, and for over forty years was a local minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church, having been licensed to preach in 1842. He

was active in every effort for the promotion of religious privileges in the community. (see note.)
Mr. Rowcliffe enlisted in the Fourteenth Illinois Cavalry; was mustered into service at Peoria, January 7th, 1863, as First Lieutenant of Company M., and was sent South to join the army of the Ohio in Kentucky. The first three months of his active service was during the Morgan raid, and after the capture of the noted southerner at Buffington Isle, his regiment was with General Burnside in the East Tennessee Country. There he participated in the battles of Walker's Ford, Bean Station, and Fair Garden.
The Command was then sent into Carolina to break up Indian squads, in which two regiments had previously been unsuccessfully engaged. Lieut. Rowcliffe was in command of the company most of the time during this service, which was successful, twenty one of the Indians being taken prisoners. During the Indian raid the First Lieutenant of Company A. was

Note: "Squire" Rowcliffe, with all his culture and force of leadership, was not above actual labor with his hands. He would plow corn or make hay or harvest in the hot sun all week, and on Sunday morning, after giving himself a clean shave, hitch the tired horses to his wagon and drive, with his family, to Church in Princeville. He might have sat for a few minutes after breakfast with his Bible, picking out a text: then not a word from his lips on the long drive to town, as his mind was formulating the sermon.
Then, perhaps substituting for the regular Methodist Minister who was away at Conference, or filling a vacancy in the Presbyterian Church, for he preached in both churches, his commanding figure would appear in the pulpit, and the sermon was always masterful.
One of the editing committee remembers well hearing him conduct the funeral of Washington Wakefield, a near neighbor in Jubilee in July, 1875; and also that of Carlisle Aldrich of Akron Township in July, 1878. —Editors.

killed, and Lieut. Rowcliffe was detailed to bring his body home. After performing that sad duty he was detailed to take recruits from Springfield, Ill., to Nicholasville, Ky. where he mounted and drilled them.
He was next ordered to re-equip, and take his men to Cleveland, Tenn. Having but ten days in which to accomplish that purpose, he had not only to distribute the new stores, but to gather up the old unserviceable ones. After reaching Cleveland and transferring the troops and equipments, he rejoined his regiment at Big Shanty. Detailed as an ordnance officer on the staff of Col. Capron before the battle of Kenesaw Mountain, he laid there and took care of the wounded until July 27th.
He was next engaged with his company fighting Wheeler's forces during the Stoneman raid to Macon, Ga. At Sunshine Church a battle took place and after accomplishing their purpose of destroying the railroad and stores, the brigade passed on. During the night the horse of Lieut. Rowcliffe mired, he was obliged to leave the animal, and as his comrades had passed on, to take to the woods alone. It was seventeen days before he reached Atlanta, during which time he was hunted and hounded, and spoke with but two persons—one white, and one black. He followed the North Star for a guide by night, crossing streams on logs and planks, suffering from lack of food, and drenched by the rain which fell during the greater part of the time, but to which he no doubt owed his final escape from the dangers which threatened him. After the second day he had nothing to eat but thirteen ripe peaches which he found on an old plantation, and during the last days of travel he several times fainted from weakness. The first day he was tracked by bloodhounds, but having hidden before the dew went off he threw them off the scent. The continuous rains and the darkness favored him, and he finally rejoined his regiment at Marietta, Ga.
He and his company were ordered to Turner's Ferry to guard Sherman who was then throwing his

army about Atlanta. The very next morning Gen. Slocum, as he had no mounted men, sent orders to Col. Capron to go to Atlanta and act as advance guard for the Twentieth Corps. Lieut. Rowcliffe suggested the raising of a volunteer company of officers to act as privates in this duty, and securing twenty four recruits, he started for Atlanta. This advance guard was near that city when met by the Mayor and officials who announced their readiness to surrender the place. Lieut. Rowcliffe whom Gen. Slocum had left in command of the advance, directed them to wait for the General who would soon be along, and he with his cavalry dashed on into the town which they were thus the first to enter. They met a rebel squad which soon gave way to the Cavalry.
Returning to Nicholasville, Ky., Lieut. Rowcliffe was remounted and then, going to Nashville, took his place in the left wing of the Union Army. His brigade was first struck by Hood's right, and for two days kept up a running fight while moving toward Columbia. He was then sent to the left upon Duck River to guard forts there. Hood's forces having divided and surrounded them, they had to cut their way out at night, reaching Franklin the day before the battle there. After this they lay in the edge of a field for a couple of weeks.
Then followed the battle of Nashville, during which Lieut. Rowcliffe had charge of the ambulance corps of the Cavalry. The order detailing him for Ambulance Director was issued the day before the battle. The command having followed Hood to Graverly Springs, had their last fight with him on Christmas Day; gathered up the wounded and took them to Franklin; then went on down the Tennessee River. The division was then ordered back to guard the Alabama railroad at Pulaski. After getting receipts for supplies he had left at Cleveland, and getting matters straightened up, he rejoined his regiment at Nashville, thence accompanied them to Pulaski, and there remained on turnpike picket duty until the close of the war. He was

engaged when the news of the assassination of President Lincoln reached him.
Lieut. Rowcliffe received a Captain's Commission from Gov. "Dick" Oglesby but was discharged as First Lieutenant. He passed through the various danger scenes of his army life without receiving a scratch.
The later years of his life were spent on the old home farm, in Jubilee Township, honored and respected by a host of friends and neighbors. He died March 11, 1892, and was buried in the Cemetery at Princeville.

THE STREITMATTER FAMILY.
(Largely compiled from notes given by Louis Streitmatter in July, 1899, to Edward Auten).

Michael Streitmatter with his wife Catharine came from the village of Hegelberg, Baden, Germany. He was by trade a nagelschmidt or nail smith, and "a mechanic who could do any repairing in wood or iron work, or could make shoes or anything". In the old country, Mr. Streitmatter was elected a surveyor, the qualifications for which he had studied up himself; and if he had stayed in his old home the people wanted to elect him city mayor. He was a very handy and active man.
As his boys grew up, the German government wanted them for soldiers. They did not want to be soldiers and their father told them if they would help him again in America, he would go there with them.
There were six boys and two girls who came to America, Frederick, George, Jacob, Christian, Barbara, Catherine, Louis and William. They came, probably 1847, to the Town of Eden, near Hamburg, N. Y., living about 12 miles S. W. from Buffalo. As wages were very low here and work hard to get, the eldest son, Frederick, came West. He landed at Princeville, probably 1849, and worked first for a Mr. Thomas Black on Sec. 33, Akron Township (farm now Wm. Pullen's). Sometime later he sent for the rest of the family to come.

Just before leaving New York State, Mr. Streitmatter, Sr., had a dream.
The floor went down and water came up where the floor had been. This dream greatly impressed his mind and he was afraid of some calamity on the trip to Illinois. Coming West by way of boats on Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Lake Michigan, and thence by canal, they reached LaSalle, Ill., without any mishap. The steamer coming from LaSalle down the Illinois River was run into in the night by a larger steamer, a big hole made in her and one of the side wheels knocked off. With the other wheel the steamer was run to the river bank and made fast with big ropes. The people were asleep and the boat men waked up all who had not been wakened by the crash. All were hurried off the boat on a wide plank which had been laid to shore. In the morning, the back end of the steamer had sunk and thus the dream was fulfilled. While many lost everything, Mr. Streitmatter had a trunk full of books rescued by the boat men in a skiff, after the books had been thoroughly soaked. There is a tradition in the family that Mr. Streitmatter himself put these books into the river, deciding on the impulse, that near the end of the journey, that he did not want them. They were, perhaps, books against religion; at any rate, in after years, he did not want his children to read them. The people got off into the timber, built fires and stayed over night. The next day it rained, and all got into an old log cabin which they found. In the afternoon a steamer came along which after some delay, landed them safe at Peoria.
This was probably about 1852 or 1853. In February, 1854, Mr. Streitmatter bought eighty acres, the North half of the North West Quarter of Sec. 10, Akron Township. Here he built a house and moved out in October. His wife Catherine was failing in health and died during the first winter. She was buried somewhere in the garden on this farm, exact spot not known; and her son Louis in one of his latest years,

erected a little marker to her memory in the present house yard.
All of the eight children raised large families and among them and their children, have settled the equivalent of perhaps a township.
Frederick Streitmatter returned to Germany, probably in fall of 1857, to marry and bring back his sweetheart Barbara Ernest. Their children were: Catherine (Zehr), Fred E., Louis E., Ernest, and Emma (Rumbold), besides five who died when small, Dan, John, George, Barbara and Martha.
George Streitmatter married Lena Kuhn, and their children were: Win. P., Edward J., John (died when little), Mary L. (Streitmatter), and Caroline (Woertz).

Jacob Streitmatter married Sophia Oertley and their children were: Jacob, Sophia (Herrmann), Christina (Rieger), Mary (Asal), Leonard, Fred E., Louisa (Muselman), Lena (Rieger), Charles (died at age 30), Rudolph, Andrew, Peter, George, Sarah (Hegel).
Christian Streitmatter married Christiana Ziegenhorn, and their children were: Hannah (Frank), Henry, Dorothea (Snyder), Christian, Michael (died at age 4), Joseph, Christina (Snyder), Lena (Fritz), Susan (Seidel), Benjamin, Reuben, August.
Barbara Streitmatter died unmarried, soon after the family reached Peoria county.
Catherine Streitmatter married John Oertley and their children were: Katie (O'Brien, Susan (Pointon), John, and Matilda (Gruner).
Louis Streitmatter married Catherine Gebhard, and their children were: Annie (Weese), Katie (Wieland), Samuel, Lydia (Beyer), John L. (died at 1 yr.), Ida (Dietz,) and Louis (died at age 9).
William F. Streitmatter married Maria Munk, and their children were: Rosa (Begner), Louise (Johnson), William A., Matilda (Gehrt), Clara (Oertley), Amiel, Mollie (died at one year), and David.

THE VAUGHN WILLIAMS FAMILY.
By Mrs. Eliza Simpson, 1920.

Vaughn Guest Williams was born in Frederick-town, Knox Co., Ohio, March 18, 1818, and received his education in the common schools of his native town. Mr. Williams moved to Peoria Co., Ill., in 1840. After remaining about a year he returned to his former home in Ohio, to bring his parents and two sisters to Princeville. The sisters were Rachel and Ellen, later Mrs. James McDowell.
On July 17, 1843, he was married to Viola Hall, a native of the same county in Ohio, born Christmas day 1824. They were the parents of ten children, five sons and five daughters—Mary E. (deceased), wife of Alexander C. Tebow; Rebecca, wife of John Dusten; John; Aaron; Almira, wife of Albert Stewart; Emeline deceased), wife of Richard Heberling; Glenn; Clarke (deceased); Eliza, wife of William Simpson; and James.
Mr. Williams came to Illinois in limited circumstances, but by industry and good judgment secured a good property and home, consisting of 240 acres of fine land Section 30, Akron Township. He was a charter member of the Thief Detective and Mutual Aid Society of Princeville. This society organized in the early 60's still maintains its existence.
Vaughn G. Williams died April 20, 1897. Viola Hall Williams died March 28, 1907. They are both buried in the Princeville Cemetery.

THE YATES FAMILY.
By Edgar Yates, 1922.
Among the pioneer settlers of Radnor Township were three brothers, Joseph, Adam and Thomas Yates, natives of Ohio County, West Virginia, located in what is known as "The Pan-handle", near Wheeling.

In 1847 they and their families left those rugged hills to find a place where living conditions would be pleasanter and the rewards of toil much more satisfactory. Reports said, too, that in the great prairies of the west, land was cheap and abundant; they hoped to secure homes nearby for their children, also, and thus have their companionship on through old age.
They left Wheeling by flat boat, coming via the Ohio, Mississippi and Illinois rivers to Peoria, then a straggling village of one short street along the river bank. They settled near together in the northeastern corner of Radnor Township.
The families were as follows: Joseph Yates, born March 11, 1798, married Mary Colwell June 10, 1819, died Dec. 8, 1878. Mary Colwell, born May 5, 1796, died Sept. 24, 1883. Children: Rachel Yates, born July 5, 1820, died May 31, 1832; Thomas Yates, born July 24, 1824, died Feb. 26, 1892, at Mt. Hope, Kans.; John Caldwell, born Aug. 11, 1827, married Miss Hitchcock, died March 14, 1896, at Peoria; Mary Nelson, born Apr. 1, 1830, married Dr. Jas. P. Miller Sept. 30, 1847, died Jan. 8, 1853; Joseph, born Sept. 8, 1832, married Elizabeth C. Keady Jan. 1, 1856, died Dec. 5, 1877.
Adam Yates, born March 20, 1805, married Sarah Miller Oct. 2, 1834, died Feb. 3,1865. Sarah Miller, born Oct. 10, 1814, died Mar. 20, 1901. Children: Margretta, born Nov. 24, 1835, married Hugh A. Henry Mar. 19, 1857, died at Omaha, Neb., May 24, 1917; Mary Ann, born May 11, 1838, married. Alex Mairs August 21, 1866, died Aug. 10, 1902, in Ireland; John M., born May 11, 1838, served in Co. A., Forty Seventh Illinois Infantry, married Anna Barr Oct. 12, 1876, died Aug. 16, 1921, at Princeville, Illinois; Amanda, born Aug. 15, 1842, married Steen B. Parks Sept. 25, 1867; Augusta, born Aug. 5, 1842, now living in Peoria, Illinois; Sarah Jane, born May 27, 1844, married Josiah Jones, Mar. 1872, died ________; Thomas A., born Apr. 10, 1846, died July 27, 1850; Irwin, born Dec. 26, 1850, died Sept. 5, 1851; Edwin, born Dec.

26, 1850, died Sept. 13, 1851; Adam F. born Dec. 24,
1852, died Aug. 24, 1853.
Doctor Thomas Yates, born Dec. 22, 1810, married Mary Pursell Sept. 29, 1835, died June 2,1886, at Dunlap, Illinois. Mary Pursell, born May 9, 1813, died July 8,1877. Children: James P. born Oct. 29, 1836, married Susan Black, died Sept. 24, 1915, at Pekin, Ill.; Thomas J., born Aug, 27, 1838, died Dec, 27, 1847; Nancy M., born June 5, 1840, married William Y. Hervey Dec. 23, 1857 (he died Dec. 3, 1872); On June 22, 1876, she married Aurelius Cockerell; William W., born July 22, 1842, married Carrie Wilson Dec. 22, 1864, died June 2, 1893, at Narka Kans.; Mary R., born Nov. 2, 1843, married David M. Potts Nov. 1, 1886, died in March, 1917, in Princeville, Ill.; David M., born Nov. 8, 1849, married Laura McMillen Jan. 16, 1873, died Jan. 6, 1888; Arminda P., born Mar. 8, 1858, married Reed Byers Oct. 17, 1878, and now lives at Estherville, Iowa.
Doctor Thomas Yates was a licensed physician, but did not practice after coming west, devoting the remainder of his active life to farming. All of the family came of staunch Scotch Irish Presbyterian stock, and had been reared in an atmosphere of respect for law and order, and reverence for religion. They took an active part in the organization of the Prospect Church, the younger members of the family mostly joining in on its support as they arrived at years of maturity.
We owe unstinted praise to all the settlers of these early days. With very slight educational opportunities, without any of the so-called advantages of our time, with implements crude and insufficient in number, they made wonderful progress in every way.
Having served faithfully and well their day and generation, they have passed on leaving a goodly heritage which is ours to use, but not abuse.

SERVICE RECORDS OF WORLD WAR
VETERANS

Compiled by the following Township Committeemen:

Akron		Raymond Holmes
Essex		Roy D. Rakestraw
Hallock		Clyde Murray
Jubilee		Frank Schneider
LaPrairie		L. E. Root
Milibrook		George Barrett
Frinceville		Mrs. Etta Edwards
Radnor		Julius Kellstadt
Truro		T. R. P Gough and C. W. German
Valley		James Anderson
West Jersey		F. M. Hazen

It is no fault of the committee that the following list of records is not complete. Some service men failed to fill out questionnaires; the Post Office address of others could not be obtained. The committee appealed to Adjutant General F. S. Dickson, Springfield Illinois, who replied that it would be a matter of months before all the records would arrive from Washington, and then it would take months to file them; and also that these records would not show the townships in which the men lived. Under these circumstances, the committeemen did well in securing what they did. Corrections and additions are invited.
The first date given is that of enrollment. Unless otherwise stated, last date is that of discharge. Places not otherwise specified are locations while in service. Names of Gold Star men are in Capitals.
