W. ENGLISH. 27A\ |) HE earliest preaching in Shelby county, of which » we have any account, was at Cold Spring pre- vious to 1825, by Joseph Foulks, who was then on the Shoal creek circuit. Mother Sallie Turner came from Kentucky in the fall of 1825, and settled on Robinson creek, and im- mediately threw open her house for preaching. In 1826 a sermon was preached in her house by Joseph Foulks, and closed with prayer by mother Turner. This service was followed by a class-meeting led by brother Hall. Joseph Foulks was followed in this work, in 1827, by Thomas Randall, a cousin of Barton Randall, now of the Illinois conference. In 1828 came Samuel H. Thompson and Wm. L.. Deneaue, who preached all over the county. They were followed in 1829 by Lorenzo Edwards, and in 1830 by Milo Huffaker. Nov. 12, 1880, Rev. Hiram Tremble came to the county, and settled on Robinson creek; found the society flourishing under the pastorate of Mr. Huffaker, to whom he gaye his church letter. Two years later, having been licensed to preach, he delivered his first sermon ia a log house in the vicinity, taking for his text these words: “The wicked shall be turned into hell with all the nations that forget God.” Such was the power of the word that he had not proceeded far until the cries of the penitent were heard on every side, and a number were converted to God. A good society still exists in the neighborhood. Selby Chapel—A number of Methodist families had settled in this vicinity ; and in 1839 a good class of eighteen was found to ex- ist, of which Rufus Imnan was leader. In 1845 a church was built with the following as trustees: Thomas Hardy, R. Imnan, Alex. Boyce, John Selby, Jacob Moyer. In 1873 the church was moved from this to its present location; the house then being valued at $500. A Sabbath-school was organized in 1843 with Jesse Hardy as superintendent. At the present time the society is in a good condition with a membership of sixty-three. St. Mary’s M. E. Church.—Societies had existed in this neighbor- hood for over thirty years. In 1875 the classes from Union and Rosebud school-houses united, forming the present St. Mary’s society, In this year a beautiful frame chapel was erected at a cost of $3,000, and dedicated by Dr. Wm. Stevenson. ‘The present membership is sixty. A good Sabbath-school is connected with this society. The members of the first class were Thomas Carter and family, James Davis and wife, Martin and Naney Dutton, William and Susan Doyle, E. 8. and Julia French, Joseph and Mary Foster, Harriet Hendrick, Elizabeth Strump, Emily Starkey, and Sallie Ward. The society at present has a membership of sixty. Sanners M. E. Church.—The society was organized in 1875 at Maple Grove, by Rev. E. Howard, L P. A revival of religion took place, resulting in some fifty acessions to the church. This was followed by the building of a house of worship, costing $1200, under the labors of A. G. Graham. The society now numbers about twenty-five, A Sabbath-school was in existence before the organization of the society. The first board of trustees was: E. B. Sanners, John W. Sanners, Hiram Johnson, Wm. Ryker, Orson Smith, Lenis Cooper. Mount Carmel.—As early as 1850, a good class existed in the neighborhood of Mt. Carmel church, called “Galigher’s class,” meeting at the house of Wesley Galigher. The members were : Wesley Galigher and wife, Wm. Carnes and wife Madilla, Thomas, P. Malinda Workman, and others. The house of Wesley Galigher was the home of the early minis- ters, and long a place of public worship. From this class sprang the two societies, Mt. Carmel and Wesley Chapel. The Mt, Carmel church is beautifully located, four miles south of Shelbyville, was erected in 1872, at a cost of $1200. Pre- sent membership is 103. A Sabbath-school has existed here since 1850. Wesley Chapel—This church was commenced in 1875, under the labors of Rev. J. N Lapham, and completed under the ministry of J.C. Burkett, at a cost of $1200. Dedicated by Dr. James Leaton. As early as 1855 a class, led by Win. Carnes, met at the Salem school-house. This society has now about twenty-five members. The church is a nice frame building, situated in a beautiful grove, six miles south- east of Shelbyville. They have an excellent Sabbath-school. The Second (Moulton) M. E. Church was organized in the school- house situated in the south-west part of Shelbyville, Oct. 19, 1878, by Rev. M. C. Galeener. The class at first consisted of six mem- bers, with Moses Flanders as leader. After the second meeting the leader leased a vacant store-room, in which services were held every Sabbath. But this room becoming too small to accommo- date the congregations, about Jan. 1st, 1879, a subscription was start- ed to build a new church. Work began on this house about June 1st, and it was completed in the fall, and dedicated by Dr. W. H. H. Adams. The church will seat 300 persons, and is valued at $.’,000. The first board of Trustees consisted of Moses Flanders, G. L. Gowdy, John Cutler, John Malone, and R. B. Reeve. In 1880 Rey. M. C. Galeener was followed by Rev. W. R. How- ard. A Sabbath-school was organized some time previous to the society. The present membership is 150. Cowden Circuit.—This circuit has three preaching places within its bounds, viz:—Cowden, Lakewood, and Pleasant Grove. At Cowden Methodism developed from occasional neighborhood preaching, into a permanent organization some 21 years ago, in an old log building known as Torrence School-house—which still stands at the edge of the town—under the ministry of Rey. W. Aneals. The class consisted of 18 members, many of whom are still resident in the county. These were Caleb Torrence and wife, James Christy and wife, Daniel Galigher and wife, and others. From this beginning Methodism has steadily grown until it has attained its present standing. Among the ministers who have served this charge, are T. C. Lapham, 8. Munsell, T. 8. Johnson, Mali- coat, B. W. T. Corley, I Villars, J. W. Warfield, T. M. Dillon, Gale, P. Swartz, Rhodes, and Stubblefield. In 1875 the present church building was erected at a cost of $2,500, and dedicated by Dr. Wm. Stevenson. Present membership, 65. Parsonage built in 1878, school organized 12 or 15 years ago. Sunday- Pleasant Grove.—At this place Methodism dates back 40 years or more. Before the day of school-houses, Wm. Petty, David Aus- tin, R. Elijah Bankston, a L. P., and others, had services at their homes. Afterward the school-house and grove were used as ple ces of worship, until in 1868 a chapel was built costing $1,200, dedica- HISTORY OF SHELBY AND MOULTRIE COUNTIES, ILLINOIS. 123 ted by Dr. H.

Society—Here we have a class of 53 members but no church building It has been a preaching place for some years. All this circuit, for a number of years, was a part of the Tower Hill work. At the Conference of 1877, it was set off as Cowden circuit, since which time its pastors have been W. H. Gannaway, A. Rusk, 8. H. Huber. Tower Hill has four appointments ; Tower Hill, Knobs, Zion, Wil- liamsburgh ; at each of these places is a church building. The society in Tower Hill was formed in the summer of 1865, by Rev. W.-M. Bone, who preached the first sermon. Before this the Metho- dists about Tower Hill belonged to Knobs’ appointment. The first preaching was in the school-house. There had been Sabbath-school before but no society. The church was built in 1866, cost $1,625 ; dedicated by H. Buck. Zion church was commenced in 1869, completed in 1870, cost $1,200 ; dedicated by C. P. Baldwin. Oconee M. E. Church.—Oconee was at first in the Pana circuit; there had been preaching in the timber east of the town, in private houses and school-houses from an early day, but no society was formed in the village until 1855. It remained connected with Pana until 1866, when it was made the head ofa circuit. The most prominent minister was Rev. W. A. Milner, for years a member of the New Jersey and Illinois Conferences, who lived a short distance south of town. He was a faithful and laborious preacher. Among those who have traveled the circuit are Revs. G. Miller, A. H. Whitlock, P. A. Swartz, R. A. Hutchinson, T.S. Johnson, E. Galagher, P. T. Gay. There is now a flourishing society and a comfortable church. Windsor Circuit.—Methodism prevailed in this vicinity in the early settlement of thé county. Preaching was furnished chiefly by the local preachers, sometimes visited by the itinerant from abroad. Dr. H. Buck, W. S. Prentice, Daniel Davis, Col. J. RB, Morgan, Hon. Reuben Ewing were among the pioneer preachers. The first M. E. Church was erected in 1840, near Sulphur Springs, dedicated by Daniel Davis, L. P. It was a log house, 30x40 feet, door in the side with a box pulpit in the opposite side, and a fire- place between, made of clay, walled with brick, without flue or chimney. Charcoal furnished by the members serving for fuel ; the house was thus warmed for seven years. In 1870, the church now standing was built at a cost of $1,900, and dedicated by J. L. Crane. One of the earliest camp grounds was in connection with this ap- pointment. Richland.—Richland society was formed by John W. Morgan, in the summer of 1855; it was then in the Sulivan circuit. In 1874, the church on Sand Creek was built by Rev. J. W. Lapham, at a cost of *$1,800, dedicated by J. W. Morgan. There was no collection taken at the dedication. Previous to that time they had worshiped in a log meeting-house, built by J. W. Rey- nolds in 1860. The first sermon preached in Windsor was delivered by J. W. Morgan in a cabinet shop, in 1855. The church in Windsor was erected in 1863, at a cost of $2,000. There are members in this circuit: Windsor, 102; Sand Creek, 96; Sulphur, 30. HISTORY OF SHELBY AND MOULTRIE COUNTIES, ILLINOIS.

Jacob Sanner, the father of Samuel San- ner, was born in Pennsylvania: his mother, Sarah Hanna, was the daughter of Samuel Hanna, who died in October, 1825; the Hanna family was of Irish descent, and now has numerous representatives in some of the Western States. Sarah (Hanna) Sanner died on the 23d day of March, 1838. Samuel Sanner was the next to the oldest of a family of seven children; he was born on the 12th of September, 1803; his birth- place was about four miles from the town of Northumberland, in Northumberland county, Pennsylvania, on the opposite side of the Susquehanna from Sunbury, the county scat of that county; he was raised in the same neighborhood. He had only ordinary ad- vantages of acquiring an education ; he attended the district schools as he had opportunity, but most of his attainments in the way of learning were obtained by his own efforts; he had a quick and active mind and a good memory, and by general reading and ob- servation succeeded in becoming well informed on a great variety of subjects. He was an excellent penman, a good mathematician, and was familiar not only with the history of America but with that of European countries. He lived on a farm till nearly twenty years of age, and then began to learn the trade of a harness and saddle maker at Pennsboro, on the west branch of the Susquehanna. After serving a regular apprenticeship, he went into business for himself at Northumberland. On the 26th of April, 1827, he was united in marriage, by the Rev. William R. Smith, to Barbara Paul, who was born on the 28th of February, 1810, the daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Miller) Paul; she was the only daughter and the third child of a family of seven children. Preston connty, Virginia, her birth-place, is now included in the new State of West Virginia. When she was eight years old, in the year 1818, her father moved with the family from Virginia to Northumberland county, Pennsylvania, where Mrs. Sanner grew up to womanhood. Her parents were born in Virginia, and moved back to that State again from Pennsylvania, and died there. After carrying on a harness and saddle shop in the town of Northumberland about six years, Mr. Sanner made up his mind to emigrate to the West. In May, 1833, he left Pennsylvania, crossed the Allegheny mountains to Pittsburg, and taking a boat at that place came down the Ohio and up the Mississippi river to St. Louis. St. Louis was then but a small town, and contained few inhabitants. Its stores could not have been very well stocked, for Mr. Sanner was accustomed to relate that he once went there to purchase a stock of meat and could only find a single ham for sale in the whole town. It was his intention to settle in Peoria county, but the spring of 1833 was unusually wet, the roads, in consequence, were extremely heavy, and the family was obliged to stop in Madison county of this State. Travel was so difficult that it took three days to make the twenty-nine miles between St. Louis and the place where they set- tled. At that time Mr. Sanner had but little means; he had worked faithfully at his trade in Pennsylvania, but had managed to accu- mulate only a little money. A family by the name of Lathey had accompanied them from Pennsylvania, and in partnership with them he bought a farm of 160 acres, in the nothern part of Madi- son county, nine miles north of Edwardsville. After living there seven years he sold his interest in this farm and bought another about a mile distant, on which the family lived till their removal to Shelby county. Although he began with a small capital he was a man of great industry and energy, and succeeded in accumula- ting a competence and becoming owner of a fine and valuable farm. This farm consisted of 400 acres, situated in sections 26 and 27, of township 6, range 8. Land in Madison county increasing in value, and in order to obtain an abundance for his children, he finally concluded to sell his farm in that part of the state and purchase cheaper land else- ecescstha illic ef 31/F: d Stock Raiser|/Pickaway Co.

Gyo QO DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume amonz the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of niture and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are en- dowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights ; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abol- ish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and orzanizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed, But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the sam? object, evinces a design to reduce them under ab- solute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of govern- ment. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this let facts be submitted toa candid world: He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public ‘ood. He has forbidden his Governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained ; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. : ea He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature; a right inestima- ble to them, aud formidable to tyrants only, : He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. . ; He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly for opposing, with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the people. , . He has refused, for a long time after such dissolution, to ciuse others to be elected ; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilatica, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the State remaining, in the meantime, exposed to all the danger of invasion from without, and convulsions within. : He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose, obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to piss others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands, — He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for estab- lishing. judiciary powers. He has made WuAbes dependent on his will alone, for che tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our p2ople, and eat out their substance. : . ; He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislature. : oe He has affected to render the military independent of, and superior to, the civil power. He has combined, with others, to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation, For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us. For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment, for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States. For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world: For imposing taxes on us without our consent: For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury : For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences : For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arvitriry government, and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for iatroducing the sam¢ absolute rule into these colonies : For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundament- ally, the powers of our governments: For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to lezislate for us in all cases whatsoever, He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection, and waging war against us. Hz has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of oar people. He is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the work of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun, with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totality unworthy the head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms against their cou1try, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions. In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress, in the most humble terms; our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time, of attempts made by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdic- tion over us, We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inevit- ably interrupt our conn2ctions and correspondence. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity. We must,therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces oe ane and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace, riends, We, therefore, the representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in GEN- ERAL CONGRESS assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be. FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is, and oaght to be, totally dissolved; and that, as FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which INDEPENDENT STATES my of right do. And, for the support of this declaration, and a firm reliance on the protection of DIVINE PROVIDENCE, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor, = JOHN HANCOCK, CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
