He passed the first year of his residence within its limits I n the township of Mr. Pleasant, and in 1847 bought 53 acres, which is now a part of his homestead estate, which includes 100 acres, nine-tenths being in tillage. In political conviction and connections he is a Republican; has officiated as School Director in his district about 30 years, and has held other offices. Mr. Heath was born May 22, 1818, in Berkshire Co., Mass. His father, William Heath, was also a native of the Bay State, and married Olive Brown.

Mr. Heath spent the years of his childhood and earlier youth in obtaining a common-school education, and at 19 years of age began to work as a farm laborer, which vocation he pursued until he was 22 years old, when he built a saw-mill. He conducted its affairs three years, after which he sold it and again engaged in farming in his native State until the year in which he moved to Whiteside County as stated (1846). He formed a matrimonial alliance in Berkshire Co., Mass., May 21, 1840, with Mary A Harmon. She was born in that county Feb. 22, 1822, and is the daughter of Walter and Azubah (Hyde) Harmon.

Miletus S. Heaton has now passed the seventy-seventh milestone on life's journey and, having retired from active business cares, is now living quietly in the enjoyment of well-earned ease, deriving his income from valuable property interests. He was born in Jefferson county, New York, February 2, 1831, his parents being Tertius and Almira (Rider/Heaton), both of whom were natives of Vermont. The father was born in Montpelier and came of ancestry represented in the patriotic army in the Revolutionary war. He served his country as a soldier of the war of 1812, enlisting from New York. When not engaged in military duty he followed farming and won a fair measure of success for his day. His life was characterized by industry and perseverance and those qualities never fail to bring a good return. In early manhood he wedded Almira Rider, a sister of Horatio Rider, who was also a soldier of the war of 1812. Both Mr. and Mrs. Heaton were devoted members of the Methodist Episcopal church and their lives were in constant harmony with their professions. The father was a whig in his political views until the organization of the republican party, when he joined its ranks. His death occurred in 1878 when he had reached the age of seventy-eight years, and his wife died in 1887 at the age of eighty-two years. Their family numbered five children, but our subject is the only one now living. Phineas R., the oldest, was born January 20, 1825, and died April 4, 1860; Orange G., born October 25, 1828, died July 24, 1865; Claudius B., born February 23, 1833, died May 19, 1841; Doreas F., born January 15, 1836, died in December, 1898.
No event of special important occurred to vary the routine of farm life for Miletus S. Heaton in his boyhood days. He attended the country schools and from the time of early spring planting until crops were harvested in the late autumn he worked in the fields, soon becoming familiar with the best methods of tilling the soil and caring for the crops. He continued farming in the east until the fall of 1855, when he arrived in Whiteside county, Illinois, and settled on a farm five miles northeast of Morrison in Mount Pleasant township. He bought the first ticket sold in Chicago by the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad from Chicago to Morrison on the 8th day of October, 1855.
After reaching this county, Mr. Heaton bent every energy toward the development and improvement of the farm, making it a valuable property, the fields being brought under a high state of cultivation, while large crops were annually gathered. He continued to cultivate and improve his tract of land of two hundred and twenty acres until 1884, when he came to Morrison, but still owns the farm. His property interests also include two hundred and sixty acres in Mount Pleasant township and a large tract of land, a part of which is now the manufacturing addition to Morrison. He has two residence properties in the city, one of which he occupies. He wisely made investment in property, securing some of the rich farming land of Illinois - of which there is none better to be found in the whole world.
On the 27th of February, 1861, Mr. Heaton married Miss Susanna E. Churchill, a native of Clinton County, New York, born October 9, 1830. She belongs to a family that was represented in the revolutionary war, and on the paternal side is of Scotch and the maternal side of Irish descent. Her father, Joseph Churchill, was born in Benson, Vermont, January 18, 1775, and died January 25, 1848. By occupation he was a farmer. He was married September 13, 1809, at Chazy, Clinton county, New York, to Susanna Bailey and soon after the Civil war they removed to Mooers in the same county, where Mr. Churchill died. His wife was born in Windsor, Vermont, November 1, 1792. Her father died January 1, 1813, and her mother February 4, 1813, both dying of fever. In 1858 Mrs. Churchill came with her family to Whiteside county, Illinois, passing away here at the home of our subject, Never\member 25, 1884. HJer children were as follows: Eliza A., born October 24, 1810, died October 29, 1829; Calista, born September 28, 1812, died November 8, 1833; Joshua B., born November 11, 1814, died March 6, 1815, Benjamin L., born February 7, 1816, died March 14, 1865 in the army; Jeremiah, born May 4, 1818, was captain of a vessel on Lake Huron and was drowned April 17, 1849; Joseph B., born June 23, 1820, was a soldier of the Civil war and died March 1, 1905; George W., born April 10, 1825, died October 7, 1904; Sylvester S., born November 6, 1827, died June 26, 1884; susanna E., wife of our subject, is the next of the family; and Charles C., born June 15, 1836, died July 22, 1887.
Mr. and Mrs. Heaton have one daughter, Nettie C., who was born in 1868 and is now the wife of William Boyd, son of John Boyd, in the employ of the Libby, McNeill & Libby Milk concern. Mrs. Heaton belongs to the Presbyterian church and like her husband, is well known and highly esteemed socially. His political endorsement is given the republican party and he has held various township offices. He does not consider himself bound by party ties, however, and voted on one occasion for Bryan. His life has been one of signal usefulness and activity and he belongs to that class of representative men who do much to uphold the political and legal status of the community and to further its substantial development along other lines.

There is nothing in the life history of the average business man to attract the reader in search of a sensational chapter but the history of each substantial citizen who is energetic, faithful and reliable in business life and loyal in his devotion to the public good, contains lessons which may well be heeded by the younger generation. Frank Heflebower has made for himself a creditable position in the business world and his labors as cashier of the State Bank of Sterling, are now proving a valued element in its successful control. He was born in Polo, Illinois, October 27, 1865, his parents being John and Annie (Cookus) Heflebower, who were natives of West Virginia. The paternal grandfather, Daniel Heflebower, was born in Virginia and was a planter and slave owner of an early day. He died in 1865 at the age of sixty-five years. He was of German descent and was twice married.
The ten children born of the first union included John Heflebower, who was reared to agricultural pursuits and' has devoted his entire life to general farming. Removing westward in 1860, he settled in Ogle county, Illinois, where he still resides. He wedded Miss Annie Cookus, a daughter of Jacob Cookus, who was born in Old Dominion and was of German lineage. Her father made milling his life work and died from an accident prior to the Civil war. His wife was twice married, her first husband being a Mr. Snyder. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Cookus were born eight children. Unto Mr. and Mrs. John Heflebower were born four sons and two daughters, namely: Charles W., who has passed away; George C., of Cameron, Missouri; Frank, of this review; Margaret Virginia, the wife of Samuel Fahrney, of Ogle counly, Illinois; Mary M., wife of Howard Irvin, also of Ogle county; and Joseph A., who resides in that county.
Frank Heflebower was reared in Ogle county, Illinois, remaining in Polo until ten years ago, after which his youth was spent on a farm. He attended the public and high schools of Polo and when he ceased to be a student became a teacher, following that profession for several years. He became a recognized factor in the public life and while teaching school made the assessment in Polo for five years, from 1892 until 1898. In the fall of the latter vear he was elected treasurer of the county, entering upon the duties of the office in December and filling the position with credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituents for four years. The next two years were largely passed in travel. In the fall of 1905 he arrived in Sterling and organized the Sterling State Bank, in association with R. G. Shumway. The bank was capitalized for fifty thousand dollars and has prospered from the first, a constantly increasing business being conducted. It is located at the southeast corner of Fourth and Locust streets and is supplied with all modern equipments, being thoroughly first class in every particular. The first president was N. G. Van Sant, who was re-elected to that office, while the vice president is Charles E. Windom, and Mr. Heflebower is the cashier. The last namedalso owns an elevator at Sterling and buys and sells grain. He is likewise interested in the coal trade in partnership with Alfred Weeks, the firm style being the Weeks Coal Company. He is continually alert for good business opportunities and displays a sound judgment that makes his opinions of value in the commercial world.
On the 12th of September, 1904, Mr. Heflebower was married to Miss Rilla Heller, a daughter of John and Emma (Lance) Heller. Mrs. Heflebower is a member of the Methodist church and is prominent in the social circles of the city.

Hellerstedt. The father was a carriage ironer and locksmith and reared his son to the same trades. The latter afterward entered a coach factory to complete his knowledge of the business in all its branches. In 1865, he left his native land to seek his advancement in the Western world, arriving in November of the same year in Chicago. He entered a shop in that city, where he worked for more than four years.

Four years later he disposed o his interests at Moline, by sale, and in August, 1874, he came to Morrison, where he entered upon the duties pertaining to the position of foreman of the Morrison Carriage Works, in which he was occupied until October, 1876, the date of his initiation of his present business relations. July 7, 1879, he admitted his brother, C. A. Hellerstedt, to a partnership, and their establishment has been conducted under the joint management since. They have had a business career of marked prosperity and have built up a reputation second to none, in point of integrity and ability. They have invented and received letters patent for a two-wheeled vehicle, known to the trade as Hellerstedt's Road Cart, which is attracting favorable attention and bids fair to become popular. The patent is dated Jan. 27, 1885. The demands of their factory require several different buildings and they employ an average working force of ten men. The carriage repository and office are situated in the Opera House Block. Three buildings owned by Hellerstedt Bros. Are situated on Main Street, where they own a frontage of 100 feet.

John H. Helms is a native of Hanover, Germany, in which country he was born Nov. 26, 1841. He attended school in his native country until he attained the age of 14 years, after which he followed the occupation of a farmer, until arriving at the age of 20 years. He then joined the army, in conformity with the laws of his native country, and served six years, during which time he participated in several battles. After receiving his discharge, he went to France, and resided in that country for two years. In 1868 Mr. Helms, realizing that he could better his financial condition in the New World, emigrated to the United States, and the same year came to this county, and for a time resided with his brother, Henry, who had preceded him and located in Lyndon Township. He remained with him for about one year, then went to Minneapolis, where he worked in a hotel one year. His next move was to the land of gold, California, in which State he was variously employed until 1873, when he returned to Lyndon and rented farms, which he cultivated for his own individual profit for a period of two years. Leaving the farm, Mr. Helms moved to the village of Lyndon, where he engaged in the provision and restaurant business, which vocation he followed for eight years. In 1882 he purchased the farm he at present occupies, adjoining the village plat and located on section 16. He has also other lands that he has bought at times, and at present his landed interests amount to 200 acres. Mr. Helms is a self-made man, and of this world's goods that he possesses, he has none to thank except his own indomitable energy, coupled with the active co-operation of his good helpmeet. He was united in marriage in the month of May, 1870, to Henrietta Carson. She died October following, without issue, and Mr. Helms was again married Oct. 24, 1873, to Miss Sophia Meyer, a native of Hanover, Germany. Four children have been born of the latter union, Emma, Anna, Willie and John. [Portraits & Biographical 1885]
Henry E. Helms, a farmer on section 3, Lyndon Township, was born Oct. 12, 1833, in Hanover, Germany. He was educated under the compulsory laws of his country, and on the fulfillment of the period required, was, under the same regulations, placed at an apprenticeship to acquire a knowledge of shoemaking. His next lot would have been the conscription, which would have made him a soldier for three years: but in 1853 he left his native land for America. He came from Hamburg to New York on a sail vessel, and was on the ocean six weeks. He landed at the port of New York, May 2, and went with his uncle to Hartford, Pa., where he became a farmer, and worked through one season. During the winter succeeding he traveled in Illinois and Wisconsin, spending the next summer also in those States. In August, 1854, he came to Lyndon. He spent six years subsequently in farm labor. Nov. 8, 1860, he married Lucy, daughter of Thos. and Sarah (Locke) Gould, Whiteside County pioneers. In the spring of 1861 Mr. and Mrs. Helms removed to Ustick Township, and took possession of a rented farm. On this they operated with success six years. In 1867 Mr. Helms bought a farm lying partly on section 35 of Mt. Pleasant Township, and section 2 of Lyndon. On this he resided and made some improvements, and selling it two years later at an advance on purchase money. He made another investment on section 9 of the same township, on which he lived eight years. In 1878 he sold again, and went to the village of Lyndon, and was there a resident until 1880. In April of that year he took possession of the farm he now occupies on section 3, which he had bought some years before. It had practically no improvements at that time, but the owner has since put it in a valuable and attractive condition. He is now engaged in mixed husbandry. Mr. and Mrs. Helms have four children—Theora, Albert, Cora and John; one child, Daisy, died in infancy. The eldest was married June 23, 1881, to Charles A. Hamilton, grandson of Deacon A. Hamilton, thus uniting in the grandchildren two of the oldest pioneer families. [Portraits & Biographical 1885]
The subject of this sketch was born in Black Forest, Germany, October 18, 1852, and died in Morrison, Ill., March 10, 1926, aged 73 years, 4 months and 22 days. He came to America in 1883, making his home in Sterling. Jan. 1, 1884 he was united in marriage to Miss Katherine Eberhardt, whose home was also in Sterling. To them six children were born, two daughters passing away in infancy. The wife and mother in the home preceded husband and father in death 20 years ago, on March 17, 1899, leaving him with the care of four little children. To Mr. Hemminger great credit it must be said he kept his broken family together and reared them to maturity years. Although there were many times of difficulity for the father, the very trials the children shared with him but endeared him more than usual to their hearts. And in his old age their children did not miss their opportunity to show in love and appreciation what their father had done for them in childhood. The following are the children who remain to keenly mourn the loss of a loving father: Joseph Hemminger, Pueblo, Colo., Frederick, Steble, North Dakota; Mrs. George Schroeder and Mrs. Frank Freer of Morrison. For many years the father made his home with the last mentioned daughter. Six grandchildren, Dorothy Schroeder, Jeanette Freer, and the four children of Frederick, will greatly miss their grandfather whom they dearly loved. Mr. Hemminger had been failing in health for some years, due in part to the hard labor he had done in his life time, and the many trials he had endured, but his last illness was one of only a week's duration, which was an attack of influenza, to which his weakened heart succumbed. May those who mourn find grace to help them in their time of need in mankind's Great Comforter, Jesus Christ, who went over all the way of suffering and sorrow and who calls to each one of us "Follow me."

Douglas, at the Canandaigua Academy, and upon leaving that institution studied law in the office of John C. Spencer, in Canandaigua, for three years. He came west in 1834, and stopped for a while in Chicago, and then went to La Porte, Indiana, there he purchased an interest in Michigan City, which was then coming into notice. He read law at La Porte with Hon. Gustavus A. Evarts, who had been Circuit Judge of the Northern District of Indiana, and then commenced to practice. In 1843 he married Miss Philena N. Mann, an adopted daughter of Judge Evarts, and in the same year formed a law partnership with him, and migrated with him and his family to Platte county Missouri. Not being based with the place, he returned to Illinois in the spring of 1844, and at the instigation of Judge Stephen A. Douglas, settled at Macomb, Mcdonough county.

After the August term of the Circuit Court, in 1844 be came to the Rock river country on an exploring tour, attended the session of the Circuit Court held by Judge Browne, at Lyndon, and was so well pleased with the valley that he concluded to settle at Sterling, to which place the county seat had just been removed. In October, 1844 he brought his family to Sterling and entered into the practice of the Law, soon attaining a prominent position at the bar. He resided for a year in the upper town, known as Harrisburgh, and then purchased and built a residence on the same lots,on Third st, where be now resides. In 1852 he opened a banking house in Sterling; in 1854 formed a partnership with Lorenso Hapgood, in the banking business, the firm name being M.S. Henry & Co., the firm continuing until 1861. During all that time he was also engaged in practicing law. In the fall of 1854 he was elected as Representative to the General Assembly of the State, on what was then called the People's ticket, the party being afterwards called Republican. During the session of the General Assembly when he was a member, a United States Senator was elected, Abraham Lincoln and Lyman Trumbull being the candidates of the People's party. Mr. Henry voted for Mr. Lincoln until he not requested, but demanded, that he should not vote for him any longer, but cast his vote for Mr. Trumbull. Mr. Henry was also a strong advocate of the Free School system, and during his term as Representative did more, ably, than any other member, to secure the passage of the first Free School in Illinois.

In 1857 he was appointed Bank Commissioner of the State, by Gov. Bissell, and held the office until the war broke out, when he tendered a regiment of cavalry to the service; but it was refused by Gen. McClellan, because there was a greater proportion of that army of the military in the service than it required. Mr. Henry was also, in 1857, elected President of the Sterling & Rock Island Railroad Company, and endeavored to build a road from Sterling to Rock Island, and from thence to Oquawka, and remained President until 1861, when the project was abandoned in consequence of the breaking out of the war, the financial embarrassment of the times, and the violent opposition of the Chicago & Rock Island Railroad, with which it would compete. In 1862 Mr. Henry was appointed Paymaster in the Army, which position he held during the war. After the war he was engaged in the oil business in West Virginia, and also in the manufacture of salt at Bay City, Michigan, and for three years was the President and General Manager of the Salt Company at that place.

The prosperity of any community, town, or city depends upon its commercial activity, its industrial interests and its trade relations and therefore among the promoters of a town are those who stand at the head of its business enterprises. Among this class in numbered Eli C. Hess, a contractor and builder of Sterling, and the number and importance of the contracts which have been awarded him make him one of the substantial residents of the city. He was born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, August 11, 1849, his parents being Michael R. and Mary Magdalena (Eschelman) Hess, natives of Pennsylvania. The family comes of German ancestry in the parental line, although representatives of the name came to America at an early day, the grandfather of our subject being a native of Pennsylvania, where he followed farming up to the time of his death. He married a Miss Rathphan, who long survived him and lived to be about ninety years of age. Their son, Michael R. Hess, was reared in the Keystone state and became a shoemaker of Lancaster county, while later he engaged in business in that state as a stone mason. He wedded Mary Magdalena Eschelman, a daughter of Jacob and Lutz Eschelman. Her father was a native of Pennsylvania and a carpenter by trade. He died in Lancaster county well advanced in years. After the death of his first wife he married twice. By his first union he had six children and by each of the other marriages had several children making twenty-one in all. In the year 1868 Michael R. Hess brought his family to Whiteside county, Illinois, and bought a farm of forty acres in Jordan township, which he improved. He died when about seventy-eight years of age and his wife passed away two years before at the age of seventy-four.

He was afterward employed as a stone-mason for two years and then took up the carpenter's trade, which he has since followed. He began doing contract work about 1879 and has since built many of the substantial residences and business houses of Sterling and the surrounding country. He also erected the township high school and a number of the factories of Sterling and of Rock Falls. His labors have been of a character to insure him a continuance of the liberal patronage accorded him and his fidelity to the terms of a contract has gained him the unqualified trust of his fellowman. Mr. Hess was married to a Miss Clara Huber, a daughter of Jessiah and Catherine (Leister) Huber. They have four children: Frederick Richard, a millwright living near Whiting, Indiana, married Nellie Frey. Nora May died at the age of three years. Arthur Herbert, a carpenter of Rock Falls, wedded to Nettie Bolton and they have one son, Leo. Earl Leroy completes the family. The eldest son served as a soldier in the Spanish-American war.

He has filled the office of school director, of highway commissioner and of collector of Jordan and Palmyra townships. During the past ten years he has lived in Sterling, occupying a beautiful home which he built in 1897. He is interested in all that pertains to the general welfare and has earned fir himself an enviable reputation as a careful man of business, who in his dealings is known for his prompt and honorable methods.

OF Mt Pleasant Twp
Few citizens of Whiteside county can claim so long a residence here as does William Pimm Hiddleson, who for the past fifty-seven years has resided within its borders. He is numbered among the substantial agriculturists of this section of the state, owning and operating a farm of one hundred and thirty acres situated on section 10, Mount Pleasant Township. He was born in Sullivan county, Pennsylvania, October 2, 1843, a son of Rufus K. and Caroline (Converse) Hiddleson, who in 1850 made the overland trip to Illinois, the father making his way to Whiteside county, where he bought a claim from a Mr. Boyer, this property being now the home of our subject. The father was of Irish descent and the mother was a native of Vermont. After settling in Mount Pleasant township the father was engaged in general agricultural pursuits throughout the remainder of his life, his death there occurring in 1893, when he had reached an advanced age. He was well known in public life, having for several terms served as sheriff of the county, this being in the latter 50s, while he also acted as county commissioner and throughout the greater part of his residence in the county served on the school board. His wife preceded him to the home beyond, her death occurring in 1885. Their family numbered three children, the sisters of our subject being Elizabeth, a resident of the state of Washington and the widow of William Heaton, who died in Portland, Oregon, several years ago; and Lydia Jane, the widow of Henry Tucker and a resident of Morrison, Illinois. William Pimm Hiddleson was a little lad of seven years when he accompanied his parents from the Keystone state to Illinois. He was reared in Whiteside county and acquired his education in the schools of Morrison. From an early age he was trained to the duties of the home farm and thus received practical training, which served him well when he undertook the management of the farm property. He is now the owner of the place on which he was reared, the place comprising one hundred and thirty acres of valuable land, situated on section 10, Mount Pleasant township. He has made many modern improvements here and is now comfortably situated in life. Mr. Hiddleson was united in marriage to Miss Ellen R. Heaton, a native of this county, born in 1854. Her parents, Alfred and Ann Eliza (Robertson) Hiddleson, came to this state from New York about the year 1844. The mother died in 1888, but the father survived her and made his home in Morrison until March 20, 1908, when he passed away at the very advanced age of eighty-eight years. Mrs. Hiddleson is one of a family of six daughters and one son, the other members of the family being: Warren, who in 1861 enlisted for service in the Civil war as a member of the Eighth Illinois Cavalry and died in Washington in 1862; Mrs. Olive King, who resides near Merrill, Iowa; Mrs. Alfretta Babcock, a resident of Shell Lake, Wisconsin; Mrs. Ada Galentine, of Kearney, Nebraska; Mrs. Emily Thomas, of Morrison; and Katie, who died in infancy. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Hiddleson has been blessed with a son and daughter. Charles Pimm, who is engaged in the gas business in Morrison married Miss Margaret Spears, by whom he has two sons, Spears and Alfred, aged respectively eleven and nine years. Pearle Mae is the wife of Charles West, who is engaged in the livery business in Morrison. They have one son, Joshua Pimm West. Mr. Hiddleson gives his political support to the men and measures of the Republican Party and for many years served as a member of the school board. Few men are more familiar with the history of Whiteside county during the last half century than Mr. Hiddleson. As a boy he made his way across the country to Illinois, and with the family bore all the hardships and privations incident to a settlement on the frontier. Many of the now thriving cities and villages of the county were as yet not laid out and much of the farm lands were still unclaimed. He has seen the wonderful changes that have since been wrought and with its agricultural interests has been actively identified, so that the history of the pioneer settlement of Whiteside county would be incomplete without the record of his life and it cannot fail to be of interest to our readers."

OF Genesee Township
Jesse Hill Sr., and family, originally came from North Carolina, and settled on the north side of Genesee Grove in the summer of 1835. Previous to his coming he had lived a number of years in Indiana, but at the death of his wife, desiring to have all his children settle about him, he sought a home in the far West. When they came to the grove they could not cross Rock creek, as the water was very high, so they stopped until the water had fallen. In the meantime they reconnoitered the timber and the adjacent prairie, and concluded that there was enough to supply the "Hill Family," so they built themselves a cabin. One day a party of Indians came to the cabin and told them that there was a "smoky woman" meaning a white woman, on the south side of the grove. A messenger was immediately dispatched, and he found the James family. A treaty, offensive and defensive was at once entered into, by the families stipulating that the James family should own the south half of the grove, and the contiguous prairie, while the Hill family should occupy the north half, and the adjoining prairie. They were to repel all who intended to "jump claims," and the families, or their assignees, for the first few years.
The Hill family consisted of Jesse Hill Sr., and nine children, viz; John, Daniel, William, Zach, Jesse Jr and four girls. One of the girls married Nathaniel Moxley, one, Samuel Seer, one, James Walker and one, Ebenezer Huffman, now in Oregon, as far as their whereabouts can be learned. Jesse Hill Sr died a number of years ago at the Grove. John had six children; two are dead, one lives in Nebraska, one in Michigan, one in Iowa, one in Wisconsin and one, Jesse, in Illinois. John Hill died in Hardin County Iowa in 1852; his wife died in Wisconsin in 1859. Jesse Hill Jr lives in Oregon; Daniel in Kansas; William went to Texas before the war and has not been heard from since. Zach died at the Grove in 1854, after his return from California. His wife, and four children are now in Oregon.
Not having any teams, in the winter of 1835-36, they went to work and cleared up a field in the timber. The boys split the rails and the girls carried them on their shoulders to the place where the fence was to be built. Shoes, boots, broadcloths, silks, worsted goods and calicoes were not in the market, and if they had been there was no money to purchase them. So they had to be contented with buckskin moccasins as substitutes for boots and shoes. The women made linsey from the wool of the sheep, and dyed it with bark. The fabric was called butternut. The girls also made a coarse fabric from cotton by spinning and weaving. This was worn in the summer, the linsey in the winter. The dresses were cut, fitted and made at home, the fashions being entirely ignored.
An incident is related of a gentleman going to the Hill cabin one day about noon, and finding the father, three sons, and three daughters at their dinner, which consisted of potatoes boiled with the skins on. There being no chairs nor any table in the cabin, the potatoes were turned out on the puncheon floor, and the family were seated, tailor fashion, eating their frugal meal. As soon as they saw company, the girls ran and hid, but when the surprise wore off they returned and finished their meal. [Bent & Wilson History of Whiteside County Page 222-223]
Joseph W. Hill, of the firm of J. W. Hill & Co., dealers in dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes, crockery, notions, etc., at Prophetstown, is a son of William and Susan (Baker) Hill, and was born in Castleton, Rutland Co., Vt., Dec. 2, 1827. His father was a farmer by vocation, and also a mechanic. His parents family consisted of eight children, four of whom are now living. In Sept., 1835, the family started from Castleton, Vt., with teams and three wagons. The father had been prospecting in the fall of the previous year and had decided to locate in Knox Co., IL. On the way out, others traveling to Rock River induced him to come to this county, and he located two miles southwest of the present village of Prophetstown, on section 7, of the township of the same name. He bought a claim there, consisting of 160 acres, and when the land came into market he purchased the same from the Government. He subsequently added to his original purchase, and, at the date of his death, had a fine farm consisting of 200 acres, under a good state of cultivation. He died on his farm, Aug. 29, 1846. The mother also died there, Feb. 14, 1871. Mr. Hill, subject of this biographical notice, when 21 years of age, purchased the interests of the heirs of to the family homestead and resided on the same till March 7, 1881. He then moved to Prophetstown and rented his farm, and engaged in business in company with his brother William during the year 1884. He soon afterward purchased the building.

William Hill was born in Rutland county, Vermont, in 1783, and came to Prophetstown in 1835. He came all the way from Vermont with teams, and was two months on the road, arriving at Prophetstown in the fall. He was a carpenter and wheelwright by trade, but became a successful farmer. His large family of sons were nearly grown up when he came, and they immediately made claims along what is now Washington street. Coming from New England, he appreciated the importance of schools, and the next year after his arrival succeeded in having a log school house built, which was used until 1841. This was the first school house in Prophetstown. Mr. Hill married Miss Susan Baker. Their children have been: J. Sullivan, who married Miss Rachel Belden, and lives in Prophetstown; Almira, who married J. Colin Southard, and is now dead; John, now dead; William, who married Miss Ann Smith, and lives in Prophetstown; Ezra, who married Miss Jane Underhill and lives in Prophetstown; Fordyce, who married Miss Polly Wall, and lives in Prophetstown; and Joseph, who married Miss Martha Reynolds, and also lives in Prophetstown, Mr. Hill died in 1846, and Mrs. Hill in 1876.

He has lately introduced the Holstein cattle, so celebrated for their dairying qualities. Among the public positions held by him have been those of Supervisor and Justice of the Peace of the township. Joseph has also acquired a large competency by farming, and owns perhaps the finest farm in the town. During the present year, 1877, he has tried the experiment of tile draining, having laid about a mile of tiles. Ezra lives on Washington street, and has a fine farm, devoting his attention principally to raising hogs, in which he has been very successful. [Extracted from Bent & Wilson History of Whiteside County Page 375-376]
WILLIAM HILL, one of the leading farmers in Whiteside County, residing on section 5, Prophetstown Township, has 380 acres of land on sections 5 and 8. He is a son of William and Susan (Baker) Hill, and was born in Hubbardton, Rutland Co., Vt., Sept. 30, 1819. His father was a farmer by occupation, but was an experienced carpenter and joiner and wheelwright. Both his parents were natives of Massachusetts, and were the parents of seven children, all of whom grew to man's estate, and four of whom are now living. The eldest of the family now living is William, the subject of this sketch. Ezra is a farmer, residing in Prophetstown Township; Fordyce and Joseph W. both reside in Prophetstown. Mr. Hill's father, with his family, left Vermont Sept. 9, 1835, and emigrated to this county with a team, being two months on the road. Mr. Hill was reared on a farm, receiving only the advantages in the way of an education that the common schools of the neighborhood afforded. On reaching the age of 21 he went out into the world to battle with fickle fortune. He went north to the State of Wisconsin, where for five years he engaged in lumbering, part of the time working by the month, and for a while engaged in contracting on his own responsibility. In 1845 he left the pineries, and came to Whiteside County. Prior to that date, however, about 1838, he made a claim of 100 acres in Prophetstown Township, on what is now the Luther McKenzie farm. When it came into market, however, he was only able to obtain a deed for 40 acres of it. His brother, John, had made a claim of a quarter-section, where our subject now resides, but died before the land was put upon the market by the Government. Mr. Hill bought this claim for $200, to which he has since added until he now has 380 acres, under excellent cultivation. He has erected upon it a fine residence, costing $3,000, and added a number of improvements, which makes it one of the most valuable and conveniently arranged farms in the township. While engaged in general agriculture, Mr. Hill has made a specialty of raising Holstein cattle. He carried on his farm himself until 1877, when he rented it to his son, Mallory S., who now resides upon it. Mr. Hill yet, however, retains a half interest in the stock. They have about 40 head of graded Holstein cattle, and one full-blooded registered bull, John G. For a number of years they have also given special attention to raising Merino sheep. While never seeking political positions, Mr. Hill has been called upon by his fellow townsmen to represent the township in the Board of Supervisors, and also serve as Justice of the Peace, which latter position he has held for two terms. For several years he has also served as Township Trustee. He is also one of the originators of the Prophetstown Farmers Mutual Insurance Company, of which he has been a Director since its organization, and President ever since, except one year.
Mr. Hill was married in Prophetstown Township, May 6, 1846 to Miss Ann L., daughter of Harry and Ursula Smith. She was horn in Castleton, Rutland Co., Vt., Sept. 21, 1827. To them have been born eight children, five of whom are living: Hester is the wife of Edgar S. Bentley, harnessmaker of Prophetstown; John Q., farmer in Prophetstown Township; Leroy, engaged in farming at Canton, McPherson Co., Kan.; Truman, deceased; Mallory S., now residing on his father's farm; Stella A. wife of Frank Johns, farmer of Prophetstown Township; two others died in infancy. As a leading citizen, not only of his township, but of Whiteside County the publishers take pleasure in presenting Mr. Hills portrait among those of the representative citizens of this county in this album.

OF Clyde Township
Leonard Hiner, farmer, resident on section 19, Clyde Township, has been a citizen of Whiteside County since 1855. He was born Aug. 30, 1813, in Lancaster Co., Pa. Leonard Hiner, senior, his father, was a farmer and was also a native of the Keystone State. Late in life he became a resident of Wabash Co., Ind., where he died in August, 1854. He married Catherine Bitterman, who was born in Lancaster County, and was of German parentage and descent. She died about 1860, in Wabash Co., Ind. Their children were 12 in number. Mr. Hiner was third in order of birth. He was reared on the farm of his father, and operated as a farm assistant until he was of age, with the exception of two years, when he was employed in a woolen mill. He was married in February, 1833, in Chester Co., Pa., to Mary Sparr, who was born in that county. Her parents, Frederick and Elizabeth (Criley) Sparr, were farmers and were born of German parentage, in Chester County. They lived in the same place throughout their lives.

Julia A. married William Alldritt, a farmer in Clyde Township. Rachel J. married Lewis Griffith and they live in Knox County, Ohio. Harriet is the wife of Mr. Little, and they are residents of California. After they had been married two years, during which time they had resided in Chester Co., Mr. and mrs. Hiner went to Lancaster Co., Pa., and a year later, went ot wayne County, and thence to Mercer County, Ohio. They passed seven years in the county last named on a farm of which they became the owners by purchase. The place was sold in 1854, and a year later the family came to Whiteside County. They made their first location on Elkhorn Creek, where their stay was brief, Mr. Hiner soon after deciding to fix his permanent residence in Clyde Township, where he purchased 80 acres of unimproved prairie. They place is now in an attractive and valuable condition. Mr. Hiner is a Democrat in political faith and has held several offices. Mrs. Hiner died in the fall of 1878 at the age of 71 years.

Maxine Waters Reclaiming Her Time Just Became Everyone's New Summer '17 Mantra
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters puts her foot down by reclaiming her time.
Barely a day after reports surfaced that Fantasia Barrino was hospitalized for an apparent overdose on aspirin and a sleep aid, TMZ has released the 911 call that led to the singer being taken to Carolinas Medical Center-Pineville last night (August 10).
"I think the individual took a bottle of aspirin and she's slowly losing consciousness," the caller told the operator. "I'm outside, but someone is with her inside." [Listen Here]
The operator told the caller to remove Fantasia from the shower, where she had been placed in an attempt to keep her awake, immediately. Cops got to the scene promptly and took the singer to the hospital.
According to police reports obtained by TMZ, the officers who responded to the 911 call were told Barrino tried to commit suicide by taking pills.
The incident came right on the heels of a scandal in which Fantasia was sued for allegedly breaking up a marriage.
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters puts her foot down by reclaiming her time.

President Obama, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Enrique Peña Nieto have committed to work together on human health and disaster risk reduction efforts; as well as to work to achieve 50 per cent clean power generation by 2025. The UN Secretary-General's Special Representative for Disaster Risk Reduction, Mr. Robert Glasser said that the three leaders' example should be followed by other G20 members. "The new North American Climate, Clean Energy and Environment Partnership is a major breakthrough and raises hopes that we can still limit temperature rise to well below 2ºC as envisaged in the Paris Agreement on climate," Mr Glasser said. Hospitals still waiting for payment from collapsed co-op Arches The Utah co-operative insurer Arches Health Plan collapsed in October 2015 but healthcare providers are still waiting for around $33 million from the Utah Department of Insurance The Deseret News reports that the department may not settle outstanding claims with hospitals until 2017 after the federal government reversed a planned $11 million contribution. The news comes amid comments by former Arches CEO Sean Greene that the co-op should never have ceased operation and accused the insurance department of "spooking" large policyholders. Greene says that he thought closing the co-op was the best option until he saw the way the department was handling the liquidation with liquidator costs and legal fees running at about $80,000 a month according to official records.

Such is what happened when scuba divers John Chatterton and Richie Kohler came across a wreck on Labor Day of 1991, at a location where, according to official records, there simply could not be a sunken U-boat. Chatterton quickly finds a tantalizing hint, a couple of dishes bearing the German Nazi Swastika and the year 1942. This startling find sets in motion a six year story of events that bring adventure, setbacks, human drama including death, and a seemingly never-ending sequence of frustrations as the two principals -- Chatterton and Kohler -- come ever closer to finding the identification they so desire, just to be thwarted by the deteriorating hulk again and again. The quest forges powerful friendships between unlikely men, and none more unlikely than that between the scientifically minded, methodical Chatterton and the treasure artifact hunting Kohler.
Though mostly focused on the quest of identifying the U-boat, Shadow Divers provides background information as well. There are briefer portraits of other divers who participate in the frequent charter trips to the location of the sunken sub, the story of rivalries between boat captains and diving teams, relationships that begin, blossom, and die because of the dominating passion for the sport, and, saddest of all, how one of the pioneers of wreck diving and great wreck diving captains, Bill Nagle, is slowly claimed by, and eventually succumbs to, alcoholism. There's very little of the superfluous historic review of diving found in almost every other diving book, none of the typical authors' biases, and there aren't any fillers. There's just the fascinating story of the tedious, plodding attempts to identify the boat.
Much of this is actually recorded, or at least touched on, in other books. The rivalry between two of the major wreck diving boats, the Seeker and the Wahoo is legend, as is that between their captains and certain crew members. The deaths of several divers, including those of Chris and Chrissy Rouse, are well documented. Yet, Shadow Diver manages to truly take us there like none of the others. Kurson also takes great care to describe Richie Kohler's growing connection with the men who had sailed the mystery craft, and then with their families, many of whom he visits.
What sets Shadow Divers apart is that it is not just an extraordinary diving book, but an extraordinary book, period. Extraordinarily well written, extraordinarily well organized, and certainly extraordinarily well researched. Much more thoroughly than most. I enjoy good writing, and Kurson certainly has the gift. Check out the author's background and you'll find that he has a degree from Harvard Law School, but then decided to embark on a writing career instead, working as a drapery and blinds installer to make ends meet until he established himself as a writer for leading papers and magazines and contributing editor to Esquire.
And not only is Kurson a spellbinding storyteller, his multi-disciplinary background also shows itself an an extremely thorough 27 page index; two dozen pages of photographs, many in color; a detailed list of sources; and a concluding interview with Richie Kohler and John Chatterton. Yet, the book never comes across as scholarly or stuffy. This is a true masterpiece, and enjoyable reading whether you're into diving or not. -- C. H. Blickenstorfer, scubadiverinfo.com

I Would Help All Who Need It.If I won the lottery I would donate to research for a cure for kids/adults with cancer/terminal illness. I would get people who truely want off the streets into a place for as long as I could until they got back on thier feet. I know you think I'm a bs'er. The reason I say these things is becuase it pains me to see any suffer with incureable sickness. I lost both my parents at home on Hospice care. It is a very hard thing to see and experience. I never want anyone to go through it. I wish we could all die from old age, peacefully in our sleep. The second is from growing up poor and experiencing living on the streets of Vegas for almost aa full year. Not cause of gammbling either, just hard times. I don't want anyone to have to experience it.

Yesterday I read a Mashable post introducing Google's "Search Plus Your World" – to be honest I knew this was coming. When Google+ introduced brand pages a few months back, the first thing I thought about was the implication of these pages on search. Google will obviously rank a property of it's own higher, right?
I have never been a fan of Google+, admittedly. It's not an ideal experience for me as a social media user. It's stuffy. It's like a house party with no beer, filled with people standing around chatting awkwardly. I get that people like the long, threaded conversations and content sharing blah blah – but seriously, the 90's called & they want their forums back. It's not a new technology – and it thrives off of the features that made Facebook so popular (and that Facebook still does better); the newsfeed, the profile page, the act of validating content with your stamp of approval (Like vs. +1), commenting, photos, videos, tags, etc. The only thing I can think of when I think of maintaining this account is
that this is a clusterfuck of social profiles and G+ is just another social identity to maintain.
…but this?!
I don't know what the people over at Google are smoking, but they just made my search experience so so so much worse. I tried out "Search Plus Your World" today and its absolutely awful. Case & point:
Okay Google, you should be smart enough to know that I've read my feed. I've already seen this stuff – and when I search for social media, or anything (unless I Google myself) I don't want to see my own posts. I have seen all this stuff before so you are in no way making my experience while searching for something better.
Obviously there are upsides to this… I mean I could just turn off the personalized search – there's a toggle button that's in plain sight. I mean I'm sure this product is useful for someone out there – but it kind of puts down the hammer on SEO, no? No longer will our search results be relevant to what we're searching – they'll be relative to what our friends have shared… even if it's not really, I don't know, RELEVANT?!
Please feel free to comment on this – Maybe there's something I'm missing. Until then, EndRant.

BOSTON — Jaylen Brown acquitted himself well in the Celtics' run to the Eastern Conference finals, but losing to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games still hurts the rookie forward.
"Getting to the Eastern Conference finals and losing, it builds a hunger," Brown said after Cleveland's 135-102 Game 5 win Thursday night at TD Garden. "I have a bad taste in my mouth. Got to put in work in the offseason and come back even stronger."
That bad taste will motivate Brown entering the summer, where he'll work on "everything" in his game with the hopes of making a larger impact for the Celtics in his sophomore season.
"I think I'm an all-around basketball player. Shooting — a lot of people doubted my jump-shooting ability this year and still doubting. I'm going to keep improving every year, that's my goal," Brown said. "Ball-handling, I want to really focus on making plays for others. Just continue to get better in every aspect of my game. I don't consider myself a position. I just consider myself a basketball player."
Shooting definitely is an area for Brown to improve. He was a 34 percent 3-point shooter as a rookie. That's not a bad mark, but becoming a more reliable long-distance shooter will open up more opportunities for him to use his rapid first step and athleticism to drive to the basket. He's shown to be a quality finisher at the rim off dribble penetration.
Brown averaged 9.0 points and 3.0 rebounds per game with a 58.6 shooting percentage in the conference finals. He scored a career-high 19 points in Game 2 of the series and played pretty decent defense on Cavs forward LeBron James in a small sample size. Brown's length and athleticism were valuable against scoring wings such as James.
Playing a meaningful role on a conference finalist is an invaluable experience for a rookie. Brown believes playing on one of the league's best teams — instead of a struggling club like…
