| 601 | From the SF Examiner, 18 Jul 1889: RUINED BY MORPHINE A Once Beautiful Woman Found Lying in the Street HER PATHETIC STORY. She Spends Her Last Cent for Whisky and Begs for a Bed. "Help! I'm poisoned" It was 1 o'clock yesterday morning when Officer L. M. Benjamin heard the faint cry issuing from a little alley leading off McAllister street. Peering into the darkness he saw a frail little woman huddled close in the shadow of the building, She was in a helpless condition and moaned pitifully as he picked her up and carried her into the light. She was elegantly attired in a gray walking-dress and wrap. A wealth of flaxen hair hung in disorder down her back. Her blue eyes were half closed and her face as pale as death. The officers placed her in a cab and carried her to the City Receiving Hospital. On the way she told in a half-dazed way that she lived in San Jose. She had come to San Francisco for a purpose, and had taken ergot to accomplish it. At the hospital she gave the name of Mary Brown. There was no odor noticeable of the pungent drug which she said she had taken, and upon again being questioned she said she had taken morphine and whisky. She was treated accordingly, and at 6 o'clock in the morning left the hospital with the matron to go to the Grand Hotel, where she said she was stopping. PENNILESS AND HOMELESS. On the way she said that her name was not Mary Brown, but that she had assumed it to hide her identity; that her family name was Riddell, and that her mother resided in San Jose; that she had been married to a man named Wainwrght. who was at present in Paris, but that her name was now Mrs. Pray. At the hotel it was learned that she had arrived Tuesday afternoon and registered as Mrs. C. D. Bancroft. She was given a room and immediately ordered a bottle of wine. She left there late in the afternoon and had not been seen afterward. When she presented herself at the hotel yesterday morning with the matron of the hospital she was refused a room,as she had no money. She opened her trunk in search of same, disclosing an elegant wardrobe and two empty whisky bottles. She then left the hotel. Inquiry developed the fact that she was once a noted belle of San Francisco. Her parents were wealthy, and she, being an only child, enjoyed every advantage that money could procure. She drove about town in an elegant pony phaeton, her exquisite beauty attracting many admirers. About five years ago she was married to Fred. Pray, the photographer. For a time they lived happily together, but she had acquired a taste for liquor, which soon became uncontrollable. Her first offenses were condoned, but she became so additted to its use that her husband was compelled to separate from her. HER LOVE FOR LIQUOR. She afterward suffered from paralysis, and to alleviate her sufferings used hypodermic injections of morphine. It was but a short time before she was a confirmed morphine fiend, uing large quantities of the opiate. Since the separation from her husband, some two years ago, she has frequently visited San Francisco, and, free Irom the restraint of her parents, indulged in liquor and morphine until at times she has been on the verge of insanity. Time and again has her mother scoured San Francisco in search of her unfortunate daughter and taken her to her elegant home in San Jose. Long and patient have been her endeavors to wean the daughter from her devouring appetite lor liquor, and each time just when she hoped that her efforts were to meet with success has the daughter fallen. Yesterday she wandered about the streets all day, hungry, tired, penniless and friendless. In the evening she went from one hotel to another in search of a bed, but always receiving the same reply, " We have none for you." In her desperation she at last offered her only possession, a tiny silver hypodermic syringe, the instrument of her ruin, to which she had clung to the last, for a place to lay her head. | RIDDELL, Margaret (I5460)

| 602 | From the SF Examiner, 19 Sep 1889: Mrs. Pray Deaf to Her Husband's Prayers Decrees and Alimony. "In the name of all that is good and holy I have begged my wife to quit drinking," said Fred H. Pray to Judge Levy yesterday morning. "It was no use, though, for she was confirmed in the habit, and her excesses have driven us to ruin, financially and every other way." Mrs. Maggie Pray, the woman accused, made no denial. She was arrested at the Grand Hotel a month aco for being intoxicated. It was disclosed to the court that Mrs. Pray is also addicted to the morphine habit, and a divorce was granted to her husband on tbe ground of intemperance. Three years earlier, this strange item from the SF Examiner, 22 Nov 1886: LOOK ON THIS PICTURE. A Negative Photographer Twice Married but Not Mated. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN-ON AND after this date I will not be responsible for any debts contracted by my wife. FRED H. PRAY. San Francisco, November 17, 1886. In order to ascertain the hidden meaning of this public avowal, an Examiner reporter yesterday called on Mrs. Redell, mother of Mrs. Pray. Said Mrs. Redell: " Well. I will not say anything about it, but I think a piece ought to be put in the papers, stating that he was not good for his own debts, even. Yes; the remnants of his photograph gallery have been sold at auction; he owed General Keyes about $1,500 rent; instead of supporting my daughter, she has had to pawn her jewelry and other effects for them to live on; some of her trunks are now at the Donohoe House, some at a lodging-house on Sutter street, and he owes other bills at hotels where they stopped as long as he could get credit. While they lived in Oakland, their gas bill was shut off twice, and he owes the butcher and the druggist. Well, he left her about three weeks ago when his gallery was closed, and is traveling round the country, camping out. My daughter, Mrs. Pray, heard he was at Congress Springs, and so she and a lady friend went down there to see him. I would not go with her, because I think Mr. Wainright is the proper husband for her. Mr. Wainright was her first husband. He is from Pittsburg, Pa., and is quite wealthy. They came here several years ago; I lived at Gilroy you know. Mr. Wainright, his initials are J. G., got a divorce from my daughter and went East keeping the decree in his pocket, not recording it in order, I suppose, to keep my daughter from marrying. But she married this man Pray. Then, when Wainright returned, he recorded the divorce, and so the marriage was celebrated over again, she being twice married to Mr. Pray. We thought her first marriage to him was not legal because the divorce had not been recorded. No; I do not know whether there is another woman in the scene or not. I cannot imagine what Pray did with his money -- he did not properly support my daughter, and it is not likely any one will credit him, so there is no danger of her running up bills in his name." | Family: PRAY, Frederick Hall / RIDDELL, Margaret (F3814)

| 603 | From the Sidewalk Companion to Santa Cruz: Walter Graves Byrne (1891 - 1949). Walter Graves Byrne was born in San Francisco, the son of George Griffin Byrne and Helen Graves Byrne. Approximately three years later, the Byrne family, formerly of Jackson, Michigan, settled in Santa Cruz. Walter Byrne attended the University of California, Berkeley, when the Craftsman aesthetic was prevalent there, graduating in the class of 1914. While a student, he did drafting work for Julia Morgan and John Galen Howard. The Craftsman preference for simplicity, a preference which allows material to become important as design elements, is evident in the buildings in Santa Cruz which can be assigned to him: The Walter Charles Byrne house, 1912, and his own home, 1919. On returning to Santa Cruz, Byrne found that there were not enough commissions available to support him as an architect. Consequently, he became a teacher of mathematics and mechanical drawing at Santa Cruz High School in 1918. During the years 1921 to 1923, he was a junior partner of architect Allen C. Collins. Their office was located in the New Santa Cruz Theatre Building at the northwest corner of Pacific and Walnut Avenues. In 1923, Byrne moved to Los Angeles, where he associated with the firm of Ross Montgomery and that of John C. Austin, architect of Los Angeles City Hall, Shrine Auditorium, and the Griffith Park Observatory. Byrne's most important project was the California State Building in the Los Angeles Civic Center. Byrne left Southern California for Oakland in 1942 and worked for Kaiser Industries during the war. He was afterwards employed by John J. Donovan, architect of Oakland Technical High School, the Ina Coolbirth Library, also in Oakland, and a consulting architect for the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge. At the time Byrne also designed an addition to the building which housed Oakland's Little Sisters of the Poor. He continued to practice until three years before his death in 1949. Also: Designed home for Walter Charles Byrne and Mabel Drennan Byrne family at 332 Union Street, Santa Cruz (originally 28 Union Street). Family lore had it that this was a project while he was studying architecture at UC Berkeley, which would fit with his having graduated in 1914 and the home was built in 1912. | BYRNE, Walter Graves (I1774)

| 605 | From the “Los Angeles Times” 30 Apr 2015: Adams' works go to Huntington The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino has acquired a series of limited-edition Ansel Adams photographic works seven portfolios containing 90 images from throughout his career, representing what he once described as "an excellent cross section of my work." The California photographer helped to define 20th century landscape photography with his elegant black-and-white portraits of the American West: the geologic face of Yosemite's Half Dome, the stark beauty of his New Mexican churches, the cotton-y forms of billowing clouds floating over scrub-covered hills. The portfolios were a gift of George Melvin Byrne and Barbara S. Barrett-Byrne. George Byrne, a doctor and amateur photographer, had acquired the portfolios from Adams after becoming acquainted with the artist via one of his photography workshops in Yosemite. Huntington photography curator Jennifer Watts reports that the portfolios were in storage for decades. Particularly striking are L.A.-area images, such as an image of a cemetery angel surrounded by oil derricks in Long Beach a surreal image of industry and beauty. Separately, the Huntington announced it also had acquired two 1936 paintings, "Burlesque" by Milton Avery and "Irises (The Sentinels)" by Helen Lundeberg, as well as a sculpture by Sargent Claude Johnson. -Carolina Miranda. | Family: BYRNE, George Melvin / BARRETT, Barbara Ann (F2264)

| 607 | From Valentines in America Hempstead was originally one of the largest towns in territory on the Island, extending from the Sound on the north to the Atlantic on the south, and from Oyster Bay on the east to Jamaica on the west. The first division of land among the sixty-six proprietors of the town took place in 1647, hardly a quarter of a century after the Pilgrims at Plymouth, and the ad- vent of the Dutch in New York. Among these was RICHARD VALENTINE, then probably a young man of twenty-five or thirty years of age, but whether married or single I have no means of knowing. He was of English origin, and, from the fact that some of the company came from that section, as well as the identity of name, it is not at all improbable that he was a lineal descendant of Richard Valentine of the parish of Eccles in Lancastershire, the undoubted ancestor of the New England Valentines, more fully mentioned in another chapter— which, if my conjectures are correct, would seem to prove that these two great branches have one common origin. Of this first American Valentine, but little is known, for the public and private records of those days were but imperfectly kept. He must have been married soon after immigrating if not before, for, in 1685, he had four sons, and perhaps more, who were freeholders. In a tax laid that year, Widow Richard Valentine is assessed for 40 acres, Obadiah, 44, William, 40, Ephraim, 40, and Richard (Jr.), 71 acres. Besides these. I find from the N. Y. Calendar of Hist. MSS., that in Feb., 1679, Jonah Valentine of Hempstead petitioned the Governor for a grant of 100 acres of land. Moreover, I find from the same source that in 1679 Richard Valentine (Jr.), "one of the Hempstead rioters," asks to be exempted from punishment "on account of his youth and ignorance." As mention is made of Richard Valentine (Sen.), in 1682, and of his widow in 1785, it seems clear that he must have died between those years, leaving at least five sons, and several daughters. There is a tradition in the family that the farm of the original Richard contained 600 acres — which probably included some "out-lots" or wild lands, as well as the homesteads named in the foregoing list. But if the young Richard came to grief from his " sky-larking " propensities, his paternal ancestor could hardly reprove him, for he, too, had his own troubles. In the "Colonial History of the Slate of New York," Vol. II., Page 728, I find that "the Marshal of the town of Hemstede, Richard Valentyn by name," is complained of before the [Dutch] Governor- General and Council of New Netherlands, July 7, 1674, for refusing to put in execution a judgment against one Jeremy Wood, and " for uttering these seditious words: ' Is it in the name of the King of England? for I will do nothing in the name of the Prince or of the States of Holland,' " &c. True to his English origin, the Marshal found the Dutch Government a galling yoke to bear. It would seem, however, that neither father nor son received any severe punishment, or some mention would have been made of it. In the stirring events of that period, the Valentines appear to have taken an active part. Thus, in 1702, Richard Valentine was one of the Grand Jury raised especial!}- to indict Samuel Bownes, an itinerant Quaker preacher who came to that region ; but instead of doing so, the jury endorsed the paper “Ignoramus" and returned it to the Judge, utterly refusing to have anything to do with such dirty work. Many of Richard's posterity afterwards became " Friends " them- selves, and some remain such to this day. In 1726, Obadiah Valentine was one of a committee to put a stop to the " wicked and wanton burning of Hempstede Plains." Of this family of Richard Valentine and his five sons, there is not, so far as I can learn, any continuous and authentic genealogy in existence; but it is certain that nearly all the Valentines of Long Island, except those in the city of Brooklyn (and even many in that city also), have descended from these. The family name soon extended to adjoining towns, especially to Oyster Bay, Jamaica and Flushing, until finally it was common in every town in Queens County, and was occasionally found in the other counties of Long Island, Kings and Suffolk. | VALENTINE, Richard (I1224)

| 608 | From Valentines in America: David Valentine, of Hempstead, L.I., was born in May, l689, and married, about 1716, Charity, daughter of Nathan and Rachel Coles, of Musketo-cove (now Glen Cove, L. I.). Charity was born Sept. 1, 1695. Shortly after marriage he must have removed to Glen Cove to live, as on the 11th of March, 1719-20, he bought of his father-in-law property described as follows : "All that certain messuage or homestead where I ye said Nathan Coles now dwelleth in Musketo-cove," &c., paying therefore 500 pounds. This place has never passed out of the family, being now in possession of the daughters of the late Ellwood Valentine. The will of David bears date Oct. 6, 1743. In it he mentions "daughter Sarah when she shall be 21," his wife Charity, and son Jacob ; also granddaughter " Phebe Coles;" They had one son and four daughters. | VALENTINE, David (I1216)

| 609 | From Warren County Ohio Obituary (believe it is Western Star, May 28, 1908): Suddenly the Summons Came Lafayette S. Rue Killed by a Fall From a Tree Prominent Citizen and Retired Farmer Meets Death In His Own Door Yard Last Sunday Afternoon Death came quickly to Mr. L.S. Rue, a prominent retired farmer, at his home just south of town last Sunday afternoon. His son, Mr. P.H. Rue and his family, were spending the day at the old home as was their frequent custom, when the bees which are hived in the barn-yard swarmed and alighted on a bough of a tree standing near the house. Mr. L.S. Rue noticed the bees and against the protest of his son insisted upon climbing the tree and removing the bough. A ladder was procured and set up in the tree, Mr. P.H. Rue steadying it while his father ascended. In clutching the limb Mr. Rue lost his balance and slipped from the ladder. He held the bough and his son called to him asking if he could hold on while he shifted the ladder. He replied "Yes, for a minute." Those were his last words as the bough gave way and he fell to the ground, a distance of fifteen feet. He struck the ground full length and with a gasp expired, evidently killed by the shock which stopped his heart. Dr. H. J. Death (sp?!) was summoned at once but his family realized that nothing more could be done. Mr. Rue had led a long and active life, he was always industrious and his death came almost as he might have wished it, swiftly and suddenly even while he was at work. To have lain for months with a broken and bruised body would have been a sore trial to a man of his temperament. He was a prominent member of the Franklin Farmer's Club, and enthusiastic member of the Men's Club of Franklin, Vice President of the recently organized Citizen's Bank, of Miamisburg and a stockholder in one of Lebanon's leading banks. The funeral was held from the late home yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock and was largely attended. The services were conducted by Dr. B.F. Clayton, a former neighbor and personal friend of the deceased. The burial took place in Woodhill cemetery. Lafayette Schenck Rue, son of Theodorus C and Sarah Ann Rue, was born September 8, 1829, and died May 24th, 1908, being nearly seventy-nine years of age. There were two brothers, Garrett C and William J. Rue, and one sister, Maria Brininger, all of whom he survived. He was married to Mary Ann Pugh, on August 27th, 1856, and this union ended with her death on October 29th, 1907. There was born to them three sons and three daughters, two of the former and one of the latter having died in early childhood, and there being still living two daughters, Minnie and May Rue, and one son, Perry H. Rue. He leaves also three grandchildren, being Mary C., Allen P. and Milton C. Rue, children of his surviving son. The birthplace of the deceased was at the farm known as the "Ben Morgan" farm, in Butler County, Ohio, and his early life was spent in that locality. His only opportunity for education was a few short terms at the country school, and his learning there was of the most elementary kind. His vocation was that of a farmer, until about the year 1869, when he became an extensive manufacturer of drain tile, his first factory being located on the farm now owned by Mr. John S. Stoutenborough, about one mile south of Franklin, Ohio, at which place he resided from about the time of his marriage, until the year 1881, when he moved to the property formerly known as the "Hugh Death" homestead, and resided there until the time of his death. He there continued the business of manufacturing tile until about the year 1886, when he resumed farming for a few years and then retired from active labor. | RUE, Lafayette Schenck (I1256)

| 610 | From Warren County Ohio Obituary for Perry H. Rue: P.H. Rue Funeral The funeral services for the late P.H. Rue Franklin attorney who died last week suddenly at his office were held at the home at Franklin Thursday afternoon. Many from Lebanon, including members of the Bar attended the services as a mark of tribute to his memory. Perry H. Rue was a graduate of the Franklin high school, being a member of the class of 1877. For many years he has been a respected member of the Warren County Bar Association and was Franklin's leading attorney. When he had finished his course at old Franklin High he went to Ann Arbor, Michigan, and studied for one year in the literary course. He then entered the law office of Craighead & Craighead in Dayton and read law. He was admitted to the bar in October, 1880. Next he entered the senior class of the Cincinnati Law School, from which he also graduated and was again admitted to the bar. He then opened an office in Cincinnati and in 1883 he came back to Franklin and opened an office which he has steadily maintained until the time of his death. Thus for more than forty years he had served the people of Franklin as a conscientious and diligent adviser in matters of the law. Ever since 1883 he has been one of Franklin's busiest and most respected citizens. When the Mackinaw Railroad declared its intention of extending the road to Franklin the officials appointed him their attorney for the purchase of the right of way and other matters. Soon after this he was made Secretary and Treasurer of the Franklin Electric Light Company, and a little later he became the Secretary of the Miami Valley Fair Association. He also served as Secretary of the Franklin Hydraulic Company and as Secretary of the Franklin and Carlisle Railway Company. All these corporations brought to his desk a mass of detail work but little in the way of financial remuneration. He gave splendid service to the Mackinaw Improvement Company and was instrumental in the development of the West Side residential. As secretary and Treasurer of the Mackinaw Improvement Association he signed every deed that is held by the the original purchasers of lots on the West Side. In 1884 he was elected Mayor of the village to fill the short term after the resignation of John M. Dachtler. In 1885 he was reelected to the same office for the full term. On October 30, 1890 he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Colcher, and shortly after moved into the home on Park avenue, which they have occupied ever since. Three children, two sons and a daughter were born to them and with the widow, remain to mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent father. In later years, he was interested in the formation of the Franklin Wheel Company, and served as its Secretary and Treasurer, being also a stockholder and director of the Garrison Spoke Company. As an attorney he had many clients among the corporations and business men of Franklin and was a stockholder in a number of enterprises. At the time of his death he was the attorney of the Franklin National Bank and Miami Valley Building and Loan Association. IN all these positions of trust his integrity was above question and his dependability recognized by all. He was one of the charter members and founders of the Franklin Rotary Club, being familiarly known to his associates as "Chief." As the recognized head of the Peru Island Fishing Club, he was widely known among the natives and guides of the MacGregor Bay and country of Ontario. Years ago he began making vacation trips to this beautiful region and when an island was purchased and a house built by local fishermen, the organization was called the Peru (P. Rue) Island Fishing Club, in his honor. Mr. Rue is survived by his wife, two sons, Milton of Potsdam, N.Y., Allen, of Detroit; one daughter, Mrs Mary Rue Shepperd, of Chicago, Ill., and two sisters, Miss Minnie Rue, of Dayton, and Mrs. Charles Noggle, who, with her husband is now on a year's tour through the west. | RUE, Perry H.

Grandpa Jack wrote that his mother's mother "lived to a great old age, I believe she passed the hundred mark." Grandpa Jack wrote that his mother was the eldest child. She had two sisters and five brothers "and they were all very smart people." | UNKNOWN, Ziva (I76)

Cohen, my present uncle by marriage, did not miss a day inquiring whether I was released from the engagment, and to me he said plainly that he would do everything possible under the sun to get me in into his family circle. "As soon as he found that I am released, it came to pass that with a political maneuver he attained his goal, by a prearrangement. He wrote to his brother in law Mr. Saul Orel who resided in Grigaropel, state of Cherson (40 vierst from Tiraspol) [Tiraspol: 2nd largest city in Moldova] that he proposed to my father to meet Mr. S. Orel with his daugther Frime ñ in Tiraspol, and my [father?] accepted the proposition, therefore at a moment's notice they shall leave for Tiraspol and immediately send a telegram to him stating their arrival as per arrangement." "Their answer was: Being the girl is nice and her father a lernd and a witty man, both of them made a good impression on them and if the cash dowery was not high enough, it will be counter balanced by the obligation of Mr. Orel to give to the married couple unlimited support (Eibige Kest), and I will be the sole manager of his established wholesale and retail licquor buisiness, aside from his eight thousant ruble, outstanding among the inhabitants of the German colony, Glikstall, because all his children are married and the girl is the only child living with her parents.* | OREL, Saul (I866)

| 698 | History of Caldwell and Livingston Counties, Missouri Saint Louis: National Historic Company, 1886 P. 1031 Jonathan J. Dryden (Deceased) On the 13th of November, 1855, there died, at his home in Livingston county, Mo., a man who had been a resident of this county for fifteen years, and whose name had stood from the beginning without reproach ñ Jonathan J. Dryden. So many of his children have become prominently identified with the affairs of this county, that it is but proper a sketch of his life should be inserted here. Originally from Sullivan county, Tenn., he was born November 15, 1813. In 1838 he removed to Missouri, locating in Daviess county. Previous to that time he had served as a soldier in the Florida War in 1836 and 1837, from which he was honorably discharged, and for his services he received a land warrant. After his settlement in Daviess county he took active and deep interest in its welfare, and, besides his connection with its agricultural affairs, was engaged in school teaching and also became well known in an official capacity. Besides being assessor he was sheriff in 1854, his election to that office being by the largest majority ever bestowed upon a candidate for that position. His death occurred while he was discharging the duties of that office, and his loss was the more keenly felt because it was known that a good and useful man had departed. His wife was formerly Caroline L. Dryden, a native of Washington county, Va., and daughter of William and Sarah Dryden. The latterís parents were Francis and Sarah Berry, Virginians by birth. Mrs. Caroline Dryden was born in 1813, and in 1830 accompanied her fatherís family to Chariton county, Mo., moving thence to Daviess county. The father was a farmer and blacksmith, and after moving to Linn county, he remained there until his death in 1860; his wife survived until 1874, dying in the same county. Fifteen children were in their family, twelve of whom grew to maturity: Nathaniel J., Constantine, Augustine, Caroline L., Eliza A., Sallie H., William W., Thomas L., Louisa, Oscar Decatur, Virginia A., and John Q. Jonathan Dryden and wife had given them five children: David N., born January 6, 1843; William L, now deceased; Louisa J., wife of John R. Brown; Thomas A., born January 4, 1851, and John R., born July 4, 1854. Mr. D. was a participant in both the Mormon and Heatherly Wars. All his children are members of the M. E. Church South. Thomas A. Dryden, at whose insistence this sketch is inserted, is closely occupied in tilling the soil here, and, on account of his thorough acquaintance with the calling, is making it a success. | DRYDEN, Jonathan J (I1891)

| 699 | History of William Drennan and Mary Thomas in Sangamon County, IL William and Mary were married about 1790. Six of their children were born in the Pendelton district (South Carolina), and they moved to Caldwell county, KY, about 1803, where they had six children. In the fall of 1817, they moved to Illinois, first stopping on Wood river, about two miles from Alton, in Madison county. Their destination was the San-ga-ma country, but it was more economical to remain idle that winter than to move up, and thus incur the necessity of hauling provisions for themselves and stock. Early in 1818 William Drennan, his half brother, Joseph Drennan, his son-in-law, Joseph Dodds, and George Cox, left their families near Alton, and, with their teams, farming implements, provisions, and all the young men and boys belonging to the families who were able to assist in making a home, started, piloted by a white man named William Moore, who had belonged to a company that had been over the country before, in fighting the Indians. He was called an Indian Ranger. Arriving at Sugar creek, they took a day or two for exploring, and on March 10, 1818, drove to the spot on which William Drennan built his cabin and which proved to be section 32, town 14, range 5 west, when the government made its survey. It is on the northwest side of Sugar creek, and about twelve miles nearly due south of Springfield, and near where the Sugar creek Cumberland Presbyterian church now stands. Immediately after their arrival they built two cabins. One was occupied by George Cox alone. The other was occupied for the summer by William and Joseph Drennan and Joseph Dodds. That was the one spoken of as belonging to William Drennan. As they had not the slightest idea of cultivating the prairie, these three men agreeed to clear all the land they could in one body, and have a crop from it that year in common, with the understanding that before another year they were all to work together until an equal sized piece was cleared for the other two. They cleared the timber from about fifteen acres, fenced it, plowed as well as they could among the roots and stumps with a little short wooden mould board plow, and planted it in corn and pumpkins. The soil in the timber was very light -- so much so that in some places they would almost sink in over their shoes. In fencing this land, they inclosed about three-fourths of an acre of prairie. After they had plowed and planted their crop, one of the men suggested that it was quite a waste to have that under fence and nothing growing on it, and proposed that they break it up and plan something on it. In order to make sure work, they uncoupled one of their wagons, hitched four horses to the forward wheels, and fastened their wooden mould board plow to the axle. They soon found this was a failure. Try as they would, the plow would not center the sod, and they reluctantly gave it up. While they were taking off the team and plow, one of the boys, full of fun and mischief, took up a hoe and began to shave the grass off, saying he could break the prairie with his hoe. That suggested an idea to one of the men, and he, also, took a hoe and began shaving the grass. It was the work of but a few minutes to remove the sod from a spot several feet in diameter. He then called one of the othermen, and proposed that, as they were well advanced with their work, and there were seven or eight of them, and all had hoes, that they call all hands together , and shave the grass from the whole piece, plant something on it, and see what would be the result. The man spoken to first, laughed at the idea as ridiculous, but after studying a moment, he fell in with it, and the men and boys were all called up, and the grass shaved off, holes dug, and corn and pumpkin seed planted. They did not tought it any more; that killed the grass. The crop was fully twice as much in proportion to the area, as that planted among the stumps, and the next spring it broke up the nicest of any land they had ever seen. This taught them an important lesson, and caused them to make greater exertions to induce some one to invent a plow that would break up the prairie. I have this account from the venerable William Drennan, who was one of the young men that assisted in doing the work, and who has lived in sight of the spot to the present time. Several years elapsed before a plow was invented that would do good work at breaking. In the mean time the early settlers continued clearing their land, that they might have it to cultivate, and were always uneasy for fear their timber would be exhausted. There can be but little doubt that the same labor required to destroy the timber on one acre would have shaved the grass from two acres, with no better implements than a hoe. They could, by that means, have had better land to cultivate, twice the quantity of grain raised, and saved their timber, but the probability is they never thought of it. After the provisions they brought with them were exhausted, one fo their number would return south, load a couple of horses with provisions, salt, and other indispensibles, in regular pack saddle style, and bring them to their new home. The distance was between sixty and seventy miles. They brought cows in the spring, and had plenty of milk. Wild honey was abundant, and Mr. Drennan told the writer that two of their number would cut down a hollow tree where bees had stored their wealth, and with a few hours work, would bring in from two to five gallons of honey. While they were doing this, others of their number would be looking for more bee trees, so that they always had four or five trees ahead, and knew just where to go when they needed more honey. For meat, they would hunt as the necessitieis required, some times one, and often all would hunt. In warm weather they would take venison, the breast of turkeys and geese, cut the meat into thin slices, sprinkle a small quantity of salt on it, and dry it on a frame work of sticks about three feet hight, setting the frame in the sun, with a smouldering fire underneath. In this way the meat would soon be cured, and ready for use at any time. This they called jerked meat, a considerable supply of which could be kept on hand. Fresh meat, jerked meat, milk, honey and bread, constituted their bill of fare during the first summer. As trips were made back and forth, some fo the younger sons and those who had families were brought to the new settlements. After the crops were cultivated, the men who had families returned to them, leaving the unmarried men and boys to take care of the property. The four men who came up in the spring, all brought their wives and childern in the fall of that year. Mr. Cox arrived first, Joseph Drennan next, and, William Drennan, with his son-in-law, Joseph Dodds, came together, arriving Dec. 3, 1818. Of the twelve childeren of William Drennan, Sen.--- Mattie, born in South Carolina, married in Kentucky. Samuel William, born Oct 15, 1797, in Pendleton district, SC, came to Kentucky, and from there to Sangamon county with his father, arriving March 10, 1818 in what is now Ball township. He was married May 30, 1822, in Sanagamon county to Margaret Anderson. They had twelve childern, all born in Sanagmon county, viz: James A., born Aug 6, 1828, married Dec 8, 1853, to Rachel Cannan. They have six children, Jannetta F, Mary E, Robert W, Minnie W, Ira and Frederick, and reside in Ball township, five miles northeast of Auburn. Samuel, born Oct. 30, 1829, went to the Pacific coast in 1852, and was married there May 28,1868 to Lousia Fernald, who was born April 4, 1839 in North Berwick, Maine. They have three children, Edith A., Mabel L, and Dora A, and reside in Santa Cruz county, Ca. John T, born Jan 14, 1832, enlisted August 9, 1862 at Chatham, in Co. I, 73d Ill INf, for theree years. He was wounded at the battle of Chickamauga, Sept 20, 1863, lay five days on the battlefied, before medical aid was given. He recovered, but is permanently disabled. He was dischard on account of physical disability, June 16, 1864, and resides with his parents in Ball Township...
