Jefferson St. His parents moved when he was but a few weeks old, to a farm near Libertyville and he had resided in and near Libertyville all his life until about a month ago when he moved to Fairfield... Death caused by cancer. He is the last child of a large family, all having preceded him in death.

He was interested in the grocery business for a few years, until burned out, and later was in the hotel business. He held a number of township offices and was the only Notary Public in Libertyville for a number of years and was a man consulted largely by the whole community. He was appointed postmaster at Libertyville and served the community in that capacity for ten years previous to January, 1915.
