Monticello -
MR. A. M. McKINNEY, of Achilles, Rawlins county, Kansas,
writes that he has never seen a county of richer lands or better
adapted to agricultural pursuits than Piatt county. when he
began housekeeping, in a small frame house, where the brick store
building occupied by W. E. Smith now stands, Monticello was
then a village of 300 or 400 inhabitants. Decatur was the
nearest village, and of less enterprise than Monticello.
Springfield was the nearest town where a cook stove and set of
chairs or bedstead could be purchased. There were two stores
of general merchandise in Monticello, Joseph Kee's and
Daniel Stickel's. James Hollingsworth kept some
groceries, J. C. Johnson, and John Tenbrooke were
hotel proprietors. Dr. Ward had a practice extending
some twenty-five or thirty miles around. There was a church
organization, but only occasional preaching. Daniel Stickel
was superintendent of the Sunday-school, which was held in the
court-house. The literary society was the chief entertainment,
and prominent among its leaders were Jacob and Noah Piatt.
That was a memorable winter in the history of Monticello and Piatt
county. When the heavy winter snows began to melt, the river
mills were so damaged by the surplus water that all milling had to
be done at the Springfield steam mills. Mr. McKionney
also mentions the suffering caused by a traveler who stopped at
Tenbrooke's hotel, and brought small-pox into the county.
The first death was that of Mrs. Bailey's little girl at the
hotel, and there were but few families that entirely escaped the
disease. Death and mourning were in almost every house, and
there was much suffering from want of care. Two young men, the
Crane boys, would surely have died for want of care, had not
George Young, of Friends Creek, offered to nurse them without
charge. It was a terrible winter, and will not soon be
forgotten by those who lived there.

Goose Creek Twp. -
MR. ABRAHAM MARQUISS, SR.,
was born in Virginia, Jan. 5, 1789. His father,
William Marquiss, was of English descent and was born in
Virginia, Aug. 90, 1766, and married Sarah Peters,
of Irish descent, who was born Dec. 25, 1765. The following
names of their children were taken from their family bible:
Hannah, born Sept. 5, 1787; Abraham;
Anna, born 1790, and died in 1791;
Elizabeth, who was born June 28, 1792, and died Oct. 1,
1812; Sarah, born May 26, 1794; Martha,
born April 21, 1793; Hester, born Feb. 3, 1800;
Ianna, born Feb. 14, 1803; William, born
Feb. 3, 1807, and Permelia, born Jul. 3, 1809.
Of these children, the subject of this sketch, and Permelia,
the youngest of family, came to what is now Piatt county in Oct. of
1833. Mr. George Barnes, Mr. Marquiss'
brother-in-law, came to the county at the same time, with the
following children: William, John, Elizabeth, Mary
and Sarah. He was again married in 1834 and
moved to near where Wm. Foster now lives. By
his last wife he had the following children after he moved to DeWitt
county; Henry, Rebecca, Hannah and George.
The children of Mr. Austin Phillips, who married
Mr. Marquiss' sister, also came out west with the
families mentioned. They were raised by Mr. Abraham
Marquiss. Henry Phillips, born in
December, 1819, married Sarah Karr, and lived a
number of years on the place Frank Lodge lives on;
he now lives in Missouri; Joseph Phillips, born
Feb. 13, 1821, married and lived on the place Mr. George
Lodge lives on; Aaron Phillips, born in
May, 1826, died after moving to Iowa; Martha Phillips,
born Jan. 12, 1828, became the wife of Jno. Barnes,
while her twin sister, Hannah Retta, married
Noah Piatt, and died in California.
Mr. Abraham Marquiss, with his own family and the persons
just mentioned, all moved into a cabin about 12 x 14 feet, which
stood on the site of William Piatt's present
residence, and remained there for near two months until another
cabin was erected. Some sleeping was done in the wagons, in
order to have room for the entire company of about twenty-one.
In the spring another cabin, moved from where Ezra Marquiss
now lives, was added to the two already in use; and too,
the family was divided up somewhat before the next summer.
About 1836 Mr. Abraham Marquiss built a two story
hewed log house right where Mrs. Mary Jane
Marquiss' present residence stands. He moved there
and remained until about a year before his wife died, when they
broke up housekeeping and went to live with their daughter
Clarinda. After his wife's death he remained at the
residence of William H. Piatt until his death in
1859. He was a successful farmer, and assisted all of his
children to obtain a home. He was a practicing physician, a
soldier in the war of 1812 in his young days, and after moving to
Piatt county was justice of the peace for a time and became one of
the most influential men of the county. He was married about
1809 in Ohio, to Elizabeth Barnes, a native of
Pennsylvania. They raised seven children, of whom Ezra
Marquiss, Sr. (see his sketch) is the oldest; for
John Marquiss see his sketch; William Marquiss
was never married, and died in Missouri; Clarinda
married William Piatt (see his sketch);
Charles Marquiss married Elizabeth E. Hubbart,
lived for a number of years in Goose Creek township, and then moved
to Missouri, where he now lives. Of their children,
Nancy married Henry Moffett and lives in
Missouri. The names of the other children are Ellen,
Henry, Isaac, Clara, Ellsworth, Eddie and Edna;
Elizabeth Marquiss married Mr. Samuel Bender,
and died leaving one daughter, Effie; Henry Marquiss
at the time of his death, was on his father's old
home-place.

Goose Creek Twp. -
MR. EZRA MARQUISS, SR., was born in Ohio June 11, 1813,
and when twenty years old emigrated with his father to what is now
Goose Creek Township, Piatt Co., in which part of the county he has
lived ever since. Previous to leaving Ohio, he had formed an
attachment for the person Ann Maria Norris, who
afterward became his wife. The young ladies in this then new
country did not efface this early attachment, so that it was not
long after he had moved here ere he took unto himself a wife, and
located on the farm he still lives on. The picture of the
cabin they went to housekeeping in is in this book. Here they
lived a number of years. He, in the strength of his young
manhood, worked hard early and late, while his wife was noted as
being unusually skillful and energetic in taking care of the hose.
She was a great worker, and until disease entered her system knew
not what it was to lose a moment from morn till night. As the
years wore on Mr. Marquiss added acre after acre to
his well-tilled farm, until old age found him possessor of thousands
rather than hundreds of acres, and he generously supplied his
children with farms in as good locations as any others in the
county. The names of his children who reached the age of
maturity are Seymour, Clarinda, Pelina, Ezra and
Mary E. All of these are mentioned elsewhere,
except Ezra, who married Esther Suver
and with his two children, Grace and Jean,
reside on his father's old homestead. Ezra, jr.,
was in the late war, and his wife was a student St. Mary's in
Indiana. Quite a good-sized house now adorns the home farm.
With its long two-story porch one can imagine it a house of a
southern rather than a western state. Ezra Marquiss,
sr., has been connected with almost every link in the
history of Goose Creek township, as well as that of the entire
county for nearly the last fifty years. He has ever been a
loyal citizen, and the republican party has not another person in
Piatt county who has worked so zealously for it. The
Agricultural society owes very much of its present prosperous
condition to him. There is probably not another man in the
county so generally known as he is. With his horses and
carriage he has driven all over the county a number of times, so
that "Uncle Ezra," is a familiar name in half the
homes of the county. The children all know him and love him.
He ahs never yet found a child who would not go to him. This
affection of the little folks speaks well for the heart of any
person. Mrs. Marquiss died about three years
ago.

MR.
HENRY MARQUISS (deceased) was united in marriage October
30, 1851, to Mary Jane Corn. The next day
after their marriage they went housekeeping in the house erected by
Mr. Abraham Marquiss, on the place Mrs.
Marquiss now lives. is was their home, with the
exception of a few years' residence in Monticello, until Mr.
Marquiss' death. Their eldest son, Willie, died June
18, 1873. Willie was loved by all who knew
him, and in spite of his long years of suffering found time for many
of kind act, and was ever ready with a smile for his friends.
Oliver Marquiss and Sadie White
were married March 9, 1881, and now live on the home farm. John
A., who is now attending the Illinois State University, and
Emma E., are among the successful teachers of the
county. James E. has charge of the home farm,
while Harry is now attending school in Monticello.
Mr. Henry Marquiss was an invalid
for a number of years, but at last his sufferings were over.
He died Dec. 18, 1868. Mr. Mary J. Marquiss
is the same kind, genial, thoughtful woman she has ever been.
She has had trials, but she has borne them bravely, and is
recognized as one of the best neighbors in the township.

Goose Creek Twp. -
MR. SEYMOUR MARQUISS, one of
the most influential farmers near De Land, was born in 1837, in
Mr. Ezra Marquiss' log cabin, a cut of which
appears in this book. He was married Dec. 19, 1861, to
Caroline McMillen, of Champaign county. In May, 1862,
they moved onto the farm they now live on. When Mr.
Marquiss was asked if he had held any offices, he very
duteously replied that he had been pathmaster, commissioner of
highways, town clerk for two years, township collector for three
years, and school director for six years "without any cessation of
hostilities."

MR. JESSE MONROE (deceased) a farmer, was born
in Maryland. His father was a soldier in the revolution.
He married Sarah Gordon, a native of Ohio. Her father
was a captain in a spy company in the revolutionary war. At an
early day, 1828, Mr. and Mrs. Monroe settled in Indiana.
Later, in 1836, after some of their family were married, they moved
to Piatt county, Illinois, to help locate their children.
William Monroe and James Utterback came and entered land
for themselves and Mr. Jesse Monroe, in 1836, which was the
first entry of land in Unity township. Mr. Monroe, the
subject of our sketch, had seven daughters and six sons. Four
of his sons died in their youth. At the time of his settling
in this county, four of the children were married. Two of
them, however, moved with their father, and the others came at a
later date. William Monroe married Sarah J. Moore
in Indiana, and moved to Piatt county in 1836. Eliza
married Mr. William Crain, and lived on what is yet often
called Crain farm, although owned by a near dozen
different persons. She had three boys and two girls.
Harvey married Cynthia Lane, of Indiana. After
living two years in this county, he moved to Indiana, where, after
coming home from the army, he died, leaving three children.
Sarah E. married Samuel Hamilton, and moved into Douglas
county. They have three children. John Crain is
married, and lives on a part of the Crain farm (see his
name). Emily married John Clapp, and lives on the old
Crain homestead. Frank Crain, now of
Gainesville, Texas, was married in 1874, to Mary E. Layson,
who died in 1877. He next married Lizzie Tutin, a
native of Wisconsin. They have one daughter. He went to
Texas in 1877, and is a stock dealer there. Martha Monroe
married Mr. James Utterback in Indiana, and moved to Piatt
county in 1836. They lived in this county for about twenty
years, and then moved to Iowa, where he has become quite a wealthy
and prominent citizen. Ruth Monroe married Mr.
Samuel Mosbarger, and lives in Douglas county. They have
seven children, all grown. Sarah Monroe and Mr.
Joseph Taylor married about 1838, and were the first couple
married in Unity township. The wedding ceremony was performed
on the place where Richard Monroe now lives. Mrs.
Taylor married Mr. Thomas Goodson, and now lives in
Tuscola. Nancy Monroe married Ezra Fay (see his
name). Lydia Monroe married Mr. John Cook, and
moved to Champaign. Both are dead. Two of their
daughters married, but died of consumption, each leaving one child.
Three of Mr. Cook's sons are living. Richard Monroe
lives on the old homestead place (see his name). Mary E.
Monroe married Mr. Gamalial Gregory (see his name).
Two of Mr. Jesse Mornoe's children, Jesse, Richard's
twin brother, who died at the age of fourteen, and Harrison H.,
died within two days of each other, and were the first ones buried
in Unity township.

MR. WILLIAM MONROE, formerly a resident farmer
in this county, moved back to Indiana in 1865 and has remained there
since. He was married Jan. 28, 1835, to Sarah J. Moore.
They have never had any children, but have done their share of
taking care of others' children. During their married life
they have had in charge as many as thirty-four children, sending
twenty-two of them to school. Eight girls have been married
form their house. The first winter, 1836-7, that Mr. Monroe
spent in Piatt county he lived in the same house with Mr. James
Utterback and family. On Jan. 8, 1837, he moved into his
own house, a log cabin 16x18 feet. The cabin was not yet
complete. The roof was on and the floor laid, but a bed-quilt
served as a door, while the fireplace was only built half-way to the
mantle-piece and the hearth was not filled up. Two elm logs
were thrown in the back of the fireplace to build the fire against,
and in lieu of chairs and table Mr. and Mrs. Monroe sat in
front of the fireplace on the edge of the floor, having their food
placed on the floor between them. On the day they moved Mr.
Monroe killed a deer, and the wolves getting scent of it
followed him home. That evening as he and his wife cooked in
and ate the meat off the bones they threw them over the incomplete
chimney into the yard, where they were eagerly snatched up by the
waiting wolves without. When Mr. Monroe went out to
drive them off they ran away, barking like little dogs. This
winter proved to be quite a severe one. Mr. Monroe
gradually completed his cabin, but in the meantime he used often to
find their bed in the morning covered by an inch or two of snow.
Mr. Monroe made quite a narrow escape with his life at the
time of a sudden freeze in 1836. He and James Utterback
started to East Fork, Coles county, for corn, while the show was
about knee deep. It began raining and continued until the
grown was covered with a slush of snow and water. The men's
clothes were thoroughly soaked with water and they were about
half-way across the prairie when suddenly a piercing, fierce cold
wind struck them. In ten minutes the slush was frozen
sufficiently to bear the weight of a man. They unhitched their
teams, leaving the oxen, while each mounted a horse and ran down to
a Mr. Holden's. When they reached Mr. Holden's
Mr. Monroe could not get off his horse. He was frozen
fast to the hair of the horse, so that they had to pull him loose.
He was then taken into the house, where all possible care was given
him. It was over a week before they god their teams home.
When Mr. Monroe got home after his trip for corn, he
found Mr. Christopher Mosbarger, an old millwright, there,
with his tools. As the folks were without bread, the
millwright exclaimed, "Boys, get your oxen and grub hoes and cut the
ice; by gracious, we makes a mill with prairie "nigger-heads.'"
In about four days the mill, first on Lake Fork, was complete.
The same mill was afterward moved to where Atwood now is and was run
by a horse. It would grind from ten to twenty bushels a day.
Mr. Monroe's folks were in the county five years before
officers of any kind found them. Mr. William Monroe got
up a petition which led to the location of a road from Monticello to
Lake Fork, the first local road in that section of the county.
William Monroe and Hiram Heath made the furrow
across to Monticello. John Tenbrooke was the surveyor.
After this, William Monroe got up and circulated a petition
for the opening of a state road from Charleston to Bloomington.
The legislature granted the petition and Daniel Stickle and
Judge Hughes were appointed commissioners. George
Heath was surveyor. The new road traversed the county very
nearly in the track of the old road, which crossed from Monticello
to the head of the timber, crossed the Fork and on down on the east
side of the stream. A mail route was established, the mail
postmaster, and was on the land owned by Mr. Samuel Harshbarger.
The postoffice was moved to Mr. Jesse Monroe's house and
Richard Monroe was appointed postmaster. The route was
discontinued after the Toledo, Wabash & Warsaw railroad was built.
Mr. Monroe, when he went to Vandalia to enter his land,
carried apple seeds home in his saddlebags and planted them.
He reports that he and his neighbors did well in their farming.
They were all sociable and peaceable. Nor were they lacking in
hospitality. Mr. Monroe states that he has taken
persons into the house to stay over night, until in the morning
those nearest the door would actually have to get out of the way to
permit the others to arise.

MR. R. B. MOODY, grain merchant, De
Land, is a native of Ohio, from which state his parents moved to De
Witt county in 1855. In 1868 Mr. Moody moved to Piatt county,
and lived for a time on Mr. Calef's place. In 1870 he moved on

share. He has been overseer of highways, school director,
constable, assessor, notary public, township treasurer and justice

Inf., and was out from 1861 to 1864. The principal battles in
which he engaged were those of Fredericktown, Fort Henry, Fort
Donelson and Shiloh, at which place he was wounded. When asked
if he was an officer in the army he replied: "Oh, yes, yes; I was
high private in the rear rank."
