“Kendricks Driver Burned To Death, US 50 at Bridgeport” - Charles H. Mulvaney - A Kendricks Cartage Company driver burned to death Tuesday night in a highway accident in which is gasoline laden truck and an auto sideswiped on Illinois route 50 at the Bridgeport road. Both vehicles were moving west, for the auto apparently started to make a turn on to Bridgeport Road and the accident occurred. Charles H. Mulvaney, 39 of Salem, died when the truck he was driving caught fire and exploded. Many Bridgeport residents, from as far away as the South edge of town, heard the explosions. One of the first persons at the scene of the accident stated that he heard the compartments of the trailer exploding, and that the cab of the truck caught fire when the saddle fuel tanks ignited. He had just left the Texaco Refinery in Lawrenceville with a load of 8000 gallons of gasoline. The truck, new last April, had a capacity for 8500 gallons.

MRS. HARRIET TUBES.

One of the most highly respected and beloved of the elderly ladies now living in Omega township is she whose name introduces this biography, a woman whose life path, like many another, has led along valleys and hill crests of sunshine and shadow.

but it has been replete with happiness and her skies have held more blue than gray, owing to the fact that early in life she adopted principles of right living, possessing a beautiful Christian character and always ready to bear her just share of the necessary burdens and household duties as the years filed past, and as a result of such a noteworthy career Mrs. Tubbs has always made and retained hosts of warm personal friends.

Mrs. Harriet Tubbs was born in Jennings county, Indiana, July 3, 1820, and will, therefore be eighty-nine years old her next birthday. Her maiden name was Harriet Smith, daughter of Thomas and Jennie Smith, a member of a family of ten children, an equal number of boys and girls, all living to manhood and womanhood, our subject being the fifth child in order of birth. Her mother's maiden name was Jennie Jones, who came from New Albany, New York, where her parents spent the major portion of their lives and where their four children were born and reared. Thomas Smith, her father, was born near New Albany on a farm, where he grew to manhood. His father, Samuel Smith, served as a soldier for seven years in the Revolutionary war. In 1829 he came to Jennings county, Indiana, where he spent the last days of his life with his son and family of Thomas Smith. He lived to be ninety years of age.

Harriet Smith spent her youth at home, and received her education in the subscription schools of that community, where she received a fairly good education, having applied herself in a diligent manner, despite the disadvantages encountered, sometimes having to go through blazed trails in the woods three or four miles on the farm which her father had taken from the government. In is interesting to hear our subject tell of those early times when the country was yet overrun with Indians and deer abounded in great herds, and there was also plenty of bear and other wild animals. Her father and uncle took six hundred and forty acres of timbered land, which, by hard work they developed into fine farms. This family was of Methodist faith. Preachers were very scarce and were often called "saddlebag ministers" from the fact that they always rode with a leather pouch on their saddle in which their Bible and hymn books were carried. Her parents crossed Sand Creek in a canoe in order to attend church in the school-house where it was then held, also sometimes in the houses of the settlers.

At the advanced age of eighty-eight, in 1908. our subject's mind is remarkably clear and she reverts to these early times with much pleasure and clearly elucidates upon them. She is hale and hearty, sleeps well, eats heartily and sees and hears well, retaining to a remarkable degree all her faculties, and she assists with the work in the home, that of her son, Calvin, and daughter, Ella, who live on a sixty acre farm, forty of which lie in this timber, the other part being under good cultivation, producing ex- Elder Cemetery; Meacham twp.; Marion Co., IL (Kinmundy Historical Society) – July 2021 349

cellent crops from year to year and yielding the family a comfortable living. Politically her parents were Republicans.

When the Indians visited Grandma Tubbs in an effort to get something to eat, she always gave them good measure and they alluded to her as "good squaw." She was never stingy with them and she always had their good will.

Mrs. Tubbs' husband has been dead over thirty-four years, since which time she and her son have kept the farm running and have made the living for the household. Our subject came to Marion county, Illinois, about forty-five years ago and settled one and one fourth miles west of Omega, on a forty acre farm. She is the mother of six children, two boys and four girls, named in order of birth, as follows : Calvin, who was born in 1842; Bula, who was born in 1844; Mary, whose date of birth occurred in 1846; Jennie, who first saw the light of day in 1850; Ella, whose date of birth fell in 1856; George, who was born in 1859. They are all living. Bula married William Garges, living near luka, Illinois, and has a family of three sons. Mary married Hiram Chesley, a soldier in the Civil war, who lives in Louisville, Illinois. Jennie married William Switzer, and they have four children, three sons and one daughter, Lena married Irvin Jones, and who has two children, a boy and a girl. George Tubbs married Florence Robison and they have one son, Elmer. Mrs. Harriet Tubbs has seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, all living in Illinois. "Grandma Tubbs," as she. is often familiarly called in her community, is much admired by all classes and her very comfortable home is often visited by her many friends, who delight in showing her every courtesy and to share her optimistic mind and the sunshine of her nature.

A. J. PARRILL.

An enumeration of those men of the present generation who have won public recognition for themselves, and at the same time have honored the locality to which they belong, would be incomplete were there failure to make mention of the one whose name forms the caption of this sketch, who is a respected and substantial citizen of Meachum township, Marion county, Illinois.

A. J. Parrill was born in Marion county, this state, in 1857, the son of Silas and Susan (Day) Parrill. Grandfather Parrill was born in Ohio, having reared his fam- ily there on a farm. He died in Marion county, Illinois, having reached an ad- vanced age. His family consisted of eleven children, all living to reach maturity and raising families of their own. The maternal grandparents of the subject lived in Virginia. The father of the subject was reared in the Buckeye state, and he came to Illinois in 1841, when thirty- five years of age. He was twice married and had six children, one of whom, Absalom, was a soldier in the One Hundred and Eleventh Illinois Volunteer Infantry, who served out a full term of enlistment. There were four children by Silas Parrill's second marriage, our subject having been the youngest of these. The father of the subject attended the common schools in Ohio and received a fairly good education. He entered one hundred and seventy acres of Elder Cemetery; Meacham twp.; Marion Co., IL (Kinmundy Historical Society) – July 2021 350

land and by habits of industry was able to add to this from time to time, until he had a fine farm of two hundred and fifty acres, two Presidents having signed the patents to his land, Millard Fillmore and Franklin Pierce.

All of the children lived to maturity. Both father and mother were Episcopal Methodists. The father was at first a Whig, and later a Republican. He reached the advanced age of eighty-three years and his faithful life companion was called to her rest when seventy-seven years old.

A. J. Parrill, our subject, attended the district schools until he was eighteen years of age, diligently applying himself to his studies, he received a fairly good education and remained on his father's farm until he was twenty-five years old, where he was taught the principles of agriculture and received many valuable lessons that have aided him in life's subsequent battle. Then he bought a farm in Marion county and has since devoted his attention exclusively to farming, with the greatest success attending his well directed efforts. He now owns the old home place which consists of two hundred and fifty acres, being the first of several purchases of his father, the heirs quit claimed the land to the present owner, so that he is the second owner of the land in .fee simple from the government. He has added twenty acres since that time. He carries on general farming and feeds stock for the market. For the past twelve years he has shipped one carload of cattle annually for the butcher.

Mr. Parrill was happily married in 1883, to Maggie McClure, a native of this county, the daughter of J. W. and Harriet (LaRue) McClure, natives of Ohio, who came to this county in 1855, and have spent their lives on a farm, having bought land in 1865. Mr. McClure is seventy-nine years old at this writing, 1908, and his wife is seventy-five. They are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, and have afamily of eight children, all of whom lived to maturity.

Four children have been born to the subject and wife named in order of their birth as follows: Delia, born in 1884, is the wife of Ray Cruse and the mother of one child ; the second child born to the subject and wife died in infancy; La Rue, who was born in 1889, is single; Marinda, born in 1892, is still a member of the family circle. Mr. Parrill in his fraternal relations is a member of the Masonic Order and the Modern American, holding one of the principal offices in the latter.

Among the citizens of Meacham township, Marion county, whose lives have been led along such worthy lines of endeavor that they have endeared themselves to their fellow citizens, thereby being eligible for representation in a volume of this nature, is the gentleman whose name appears above.

Winfield S. Lacey was born in Morrow county, Ohio, September 30, 1849, tne son of Hiram G. and Sophia (Sell) Lacey, the former a native of Ohio, who grew to manhood there and married before leaving that county. He lived in Ohio until 1855, when he brought his family to Marion county, Illinois, settling in Meacham township. He drove through the country from Ohio, bringing twenty-two head of cows with him, also three teams. He secured one hundred and twenty acres of land in sections 10 and 15. It was partly improved and had an old house, eighteen by thirty-six feet, of split timber, and there was an old log stable. These soon gave way to comfortable and substantial buildings, and the place was put under a high state of improvements. Being thrifty he soon bought more land and lived on this place until his death. His wife died in Farina, this state. They were Methodists. Mr. Lacey was a Republican, but never aspired to office. The following children were born to them : Gabriel S., who lives in Meacham township; Mahala also lives in Meacham township; Thomas S. lives in the same town- ship; Francis M., enlisted in the Union army when eighteen years old and served during the war. After the war he married and moved to Cowley county, Kansas; Abram F., was also a soldier in the Federal ranks, who served three years. After the war he returned to his home in this county, where he remained until his death; A. H., resides on the old place, and was also a soldier; Nancy married Michael Butts, and is living in Meacham township; W. S., our subject; Anthony and Catherine were twins, the former is deceased, and the latter is the wife of Jacob Althon, of Clay county, Illinois; Hiram is living in Meacham township, this county; Hugh is deceased; Mary is the wife of Douglas Roberts, who lives in Fayette county. Illinois.

The subject of this sketch had only a limited education, not having an opportunity to attend school very long in his youth. He remained a member of the parental family circle until he was twenty-four years old. He was married February 27, 1873, to Nancy Hitchcock, of Harrison county, Ohio, the daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Hitchcock. Her parents moved to Marion county, Illinois, in 1870, and located in Omega township, where they remained two years and then moved to Meacham. township, remaining here one year, then they went to Iowa, where Mr. Hitchcock died. His wife is living at this writing in Nebraska. Seven children were born to the subject and wife as follows: Edward, who is farming in Meacham township, married Margaret Gotshall, of Ohio; Lydia, who is now deceased, was the wife of Lon Myres; Haman is living in Farina, Illinois, engaged in the hardware business, and in married to Olive Warren ; Orville is deceased : Hugh is also deceased; Ollie married Jesse Norman, and is living in Meacham township; Milton is living at home. These children attended the local schools, receiving fairly good educations.

After his marriage the subject bought forty acres of land in Meacham township and lived there for three years, when he sold out and bought the place where he now lives, in section 4, Meacham township. It was raw land, but Mr. Lacey was always a hardworker and a good manager, and he rapidly improved the place up to its present high state of efficiency. The subject now owns three hundred and forty acres, which he rents, being now retired. His farm is

well up to the standard of Marion county's choice farms, being well fenced, and in every way in fust class condition. He has a substantial and beautiful dwelling and a good barn and other out buildings.

No little part of Mr. Lacey's income has been derived from live stock, raising an excellent grade of hogs, cattle and sheep. He is also a good judge of horses and has always kept some fine ones. He has devoted his life to farming, consequently he has mastered every detail of this class of business. In politics he is a Populist, but has never held office. He started in life in a small way, but he is now one of the substantial men of the township, having gained all his property unaided, by his careful management and hard work. The subject's first wife was called to her rest in February, 1903; and he married Rebecca Minard, of Harrison county, Ohio, in October, 1905. Mr. Lacey is known by the people of Meacham township for his honesty and useful life.

p. 620-621 Porter ALBERT G. PORTER.

Among the enterprising and progressive citizens of Marion county, Illinois, is the gentleman whose name forms the caption of this ketch, who has engaged in various lines of business activity in this county and is known as one of the leading liverymen of the locality, at present managing an extensive livery stable in Kinmundy, while he maintains a fine home there, and the years of his residence has but served to strengthen the feeling of confidence of his fellow citizens. Although yet a young man, scarcely one-third of the years usually allotted to human life having passed over him, our subject has shown what a rightly directed principle, coupled with honesty and integrity, can do toward winning definite success.

Albert G. Porter was born in this county October 14, 1880, the son of Emmett D. and Rachael (Henry) Porter, the father a native of Ohio, and the mother of Illinois. There were seven children in this family, all of whom lived to maturity. The father of the subject was a soldier in an Ohio regiment during the Civil war and after being mustered out returned to Ohio and soon thereafter came to Fayette county, Illinois, and after remaining there for a time came to Marion county. He engaged in the hardware business while living in Fayette county and when he came to Marion county, he went into the livery business and after managing the same for about two years he sold out and became agent for a marble works establishment. Later he handled fire insurance and became adjuster of claims, holding his position, official and otherwise, until his death, having faithfully sewed the company to the entire satisfaction of all its members for a period of thirty years, which is a sure criterion of his ability and integrity. He was fifty-six years old at the time of his death. The mother of the subject, a woman of many beautiful traits of character, is still living in 1908, at the age of fifty-nine years. There were four children in this family, all of them reaching maturity and all but one are married and have families. They are Harry E., who is at the time of this writing thirty-six years old, and a traveling salesman ; he is married and has one child. Charles H., the second child of the parents of the subject, was in business in the city of Chicago. He is now in the fruit and poultry business at Los Angeles, California, having made a pronounced success Elder Cemetery; Meacham twp.; Marion Co., IL (Kinmundy Historical Society) – July 2021 353

of this business from the first. One sister, Nellie, is now the wife of Gus Elbow, of Oklahoma City, and the mother of one child. Her husband is an attorney. Our subject was the fourth child in order of birth. He attended the common schools in Kinmundy, until he was nineteen years of age, and received a fairly good education, which has since been greatly strengthened by home study and by coming in contact with the world. He also attended a business college in Centralia, Illinois, after leaving the public schools and thereby received a good business education. He also read medicine for one year, and then attended to various matters until 1908, when he opened up a livery business in Kinmundy, which he is at present conducting, having built up an extensive business.

Our subject was united in marriage on March 3, 1907, to Maud L. West, a native of this county, and the daughter of Charles H. and Rosa ( Dillon) West. Mr. West is a native of Indiana. He was a farmer and stock raiser, having made the raising of Hereford cattle a specialty for a number of years, but is now living in honorable retirement, making his home in Kinmundy, having sold his principal farm, but he still owns several orchard farms, consisting of hundreds of acres.

Mr. and Mrs. Porter have one infant son. They own their nicely furnished home. The mother of the subject also owns her home and is living by herself. Mr. Porter is a young man to whom the future holds out much of promise, being industrious, quick to grasp an opportunity, and it would be hard to find among the younger generation of business men in Marion county, a worthier subject than he.
