Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois and History of Sangamon County, Vol. 2: Part Two, Biographical It is both interesting and instructive to rise above the generalization of history and trace, in the personality and careers of the men from whom it sprang, the principles and influences, the impulses and ambitions, the labors, strug gles and triumphs that engross their lives. Here are recorded the careers and achieve ments of pioneers who. When the fullness of time had come, came from wide separated sources, some from beyond the sea, impelled by divers motives, little conscious of the import of their acts, and but dimly anticipating the harvest which would spring from the sowing. They built their primitive homes. Toiling for a present subsistence while laying the foundations of private fortunes and further advancement.
