HOWE EDWD. E. Kewanee; telegraph operator; Rep; Ind; born Ashtabula, Ohio, 1847.

HOWE JULIA A. widow of Gen. John H. Howe, Kewanee; Cong; born Ashtabula, Ohio.

*HOWE Gen. JOHN H. (deceased) whose picture appears on another page of this volume, was born at Riga, Monroe Co. N.Y., on the 12th day of Sept. 1822. In 1832, his father removed to Conneautville, Pa. and proceeded to clear a farm in that densely timbered region. After assisting his father to make the clearing he obtained work on the Erie Canal to procure money to attend school at Western Reserve College, at Gutenberg, Ohio, at which place he remained some time, finishing at Kingsville, Ohio. He then commenced the study of the law with E. B. Woodbury, Esq. at Monroe. Ohio, and was admitted to the bar in June, 1845, Benj. F. Wade and Joshua R. Giddings being his examiners. March 27, 1845, a short time previous to his admission to the bar, he was married to Miss Julia A. Castle. For ten years Gen. Howe followed his profession in the counties of Ashtabula, Lake and Geauga, living for a short time at Unionville, Lake Co. In 1855, he resolved to come west, his first objective point being Kansas, but owing to the then unsettled condition of affairs, be finally concluded to stop at Kewanee, Ill. Thu change was opportune. He continued the practice of the law, with marked success until 1860, when he was elected Circuit Judge for the sixth district of Illinois, to fill the unexpired term of Judge Drury. In 1862, his judicial term having expired, Judge Howe enlisted in the War of the Rebellion, and aided in raising two companies for the 124th Ill. Vol. and upon the organization of the regiment he was elected Lieutenant Colonel. He remained with the regiment during the war, acting for nearly the whole period as Colonel, owing to the sickness and absence of Col. Sloan. He was twice promoted during service, bearing at the time of his discharge the rank of Brigadier General. His regiment saw much active service, having marched over 4,100 miles, and having been engaged in fourteen skirmishes, ten battles and two sieges, and having been under the fire of the enemy eighty-two days and sixty nights. Throughout all of this leaden hail the life of the brave General was spared, but the close of the war found him, from exposure and anxiety, broken in health, and believing that a change of climate might prove beneficial, he obtained an appointment as Chief Justice of Wyoming Ter. April 3.1869. Shortly after his arrival, female suffrage was established in Wyoming, and Judge Howe presided over the first jury, of which females were a component part, ever empanelled in this country or any other so far as known. After three years service upon the bench, during which time he discharged his duties with signal ability. his health again failed him, and he returned to his home in Kewanee and resumed the practice of law. His health not improving, his physician and friends advised him to go south, and he succeeded in obtaining an appointment as one of the Mexican Border Commissioners, then about to start south to confer with a like commission from the Mexican Government concerning the border difficulties. He left Kewanee, accompanied by his wife, and after six weeks' work with the commission, fell seriously ill at Laredo, Texas, and lingering twenty-three days, died April 3, 1873. His remains were embalmed and his heroic wife started and brought them across the country three hundred miles to San Antonio, that being the nearest railroad station. Mrs. Howe arrived at Kewanee, April 19, 1873, and the remains were interred with Masonic honors the day following. Such, briefly, are the outlines of the life of one of Kewanee's most worthy and honored citizens, a man who filled a large place in the hearts of the people of Henry Co. and whose influence will long be felt in the community of which he was a member. Coming to Kewanee while the town was in its infancy, he at once entered zealously into all of its public improvements. He aided and encouraged the establishment of schools, churches, lyceums and libraries, and all that might contribute to the moral, intellectual or material welfare of the community received from Judge Howe encouragement and support. *The above notice and portrait accompanying are Inserted by friends of Gen. Howe in Kewanee, as a tribute of respect to his memory. He was the friend of the poor, and always sought their welfare, as many now living will testify. As a lawyer and judge he stood deservedly high, always advising a peaceable adjustment of difficulties, rather than litigation, where it could be done without a sacrifice of rights. As an advocate he was the acknowledged leader of this bar, often rising to bursts of genuine eloquence. In disposition he was genial and social, outspoken and frank to all, be they friend or foe. While only 50 years of age at his death, he had accomplished much more than many older men. Generous, almost to a fault, he did not accumulate as much property as a man of more sordid disposition would have done with the same opportunities. The vast throng who attended his funeral was an ovation, attesting the high estimation in which he was held by the people of Henry and adjoining counties. A true friend, a kind husband and father, an upright judge and citizen, an able lawyer, a faithful and heroic soldier, such was Judge Howe, whose memory will ever be green in the hearts of all who knew him.

LILLEY WILLIAM, Sec. 26, P.O. Kewanee. The subject of this sketch was born of respectable and well-to-do parents, at Oldham, England, Jan. 22, 1817, and baptized at St. Peter's, May 15, 1817; his mother was related to the well-known, wealthy, and aristocratic English families-Raddiffs, Mayalls, and Duckworths, of Mosley and Oldham; his parents sailed from London on board the ship Susannah, of London, July 11, 1818, for St. John, New Brunswick, and from there to Boston, Mass. arriving in Boston Sept. 8, 1818; his father, after living in Mass. for a short time, formed a stock company, built and managed the first cotton mill in Mass. at Andover [this mill is still standing, but not used for anything, and fast decaying]; he was married Nov. 1, 1843, at Albany, N.Y. to Miss Harriet Huntley; his wife Harriet was born at Stanstead, Canada, Feb. 28, 1821; her ancestors were some of those numbered on board the Mayflower, her great grandfather being the first white child born in New England-born the second day after the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers-and, owing to the wanderings of this band, he was named "Peregrine" - Peregrine White. [Among other curiosities shown the visitor at Plymouth, Mass. is the rude cradle used for this man when a child.] Mr. Wm. Lilley and wife moved from Lowell, Mass. to Henry Co. December 15, 1843, where they since have lived; they have been blessed with five children, Hellen, born Jan. 6, 1845, and now married; George, born Feb. 7, 1850; John, born Feb. 8, 1852; Charles, born, Aug. 4, 1854; Laura, born Feb. 8, 1855; of these all are living except Laura, who was taken away by death, Feb. 24, 1868. "Laura was seldom from home, as she was all her natural life an afflicted child; hence they feel their loss the more. But Laura has gone before-not lost.--" Henry Co. Dial Mr. Lilley has, by perseverance, industry, and labor, accumulated a large property, his home farm consisting of 417 acres of very rich farming land, the surface valued at $100 per acre; it has a good coal vein, 4 ft. thick, and 120 ft. below the surface; the coal is leased, for a period of twenty-five years, to the Lathrop Coal and Mining Co. office Kewanee, Ill. "Our coal is superior in quality and cleanliness, burning freely, and leaving little or no soot, which is so objectionable in most Illinois coals. Our facilities for mining and shipping are unequaled by any coal operators in this vicinity." A. B. Ashley, Supt; E. C. Cheever, Cashier. Each cubic foot of coal will weigh fifteen pounds, or 2,700 pounds for every square yard, which, multiplied by 4,840 (the number of square yards in an acre), gives 6,534 tons per acre; and this, multiplied by the number of acres (417), gives the enormous amount of 2,724,678 tons; this, again multiplied by 12 1/2 cents (the amount paid by the Co. for royalty on every ton of coal mined), will amount to $340,584 75. The mine, when in full operation, is capable of mining and raising 300 tons of coal daily, which, multiplied by 12 1/2 cents, gives; at the rate of $37 per day, $962 per month, and $11,144 per annum, royalty. He also has another farm in Henry County, consisting of 120 acres of very rich and productive soil. Mr. Lilley has been eminently successful in obtaining his share of this world's goods-thus are his patience, industry, and fortitude rewarded; coming, as he did, to Henry Co. one of the earliest settlers, when all was a wide, vast, unbroken, and wild prairie, he has contributed his best talent and judgment to the advancement of his county, and made it what it is, one of the foremost in the state. He has seen his county in the possession of the wild beasts of the field, and now it is possessed by a cultivated and intelligent people, churches, and schools. Thus is he rewarded. "By their fruits ye shall know them."

LITTLE HENRY G. Kewanee. The following biographical sketch was furnished for this work by an old settler of Henry County, and intimate friend of its subject: Henry G. Little was born in Gofftown, N. H. March 31, 1813; in March, 1835, he left the rugged New England hills to seek his fortune on the fertile prairies of Illinois, and settled temporarily in Peoria. March 1, 1836, he married Fidelia M. Stoddard, a daughter of the Puritans, a descendant of the redoubtable Gen. Miles Standish, and brought his young wife from the comforts and refinements of her pleasant home in the staid old town of Newington, Conn. to endure, uncomplainingly, patiently, and cheerfully the privations and dangers of frontier life. They came to Henry County in November of the same year, and the following Spring set up their household gods (sic) in a log cabin, near the present home of C. C. Bush, Esq. of Kewanee, and commenced farming on the lands now owned by Dr. Lewis Hurd and Asa Cole. Three months later (June 19, 1837), Mr. Little, accompanied by his brother, C. J. T. Little, rode thirty miles across the trackless prairie, utterly destitute of road, bridge, or dwelling, to the house of George Brandenburg, where he took part in the organization of Henry County. The first election in Wethersfield Precinct was held at Mr. Little's house, in August of the same year. The single room, sixteen feet by eighteen, which the dwelling contained, was at that time the residence of three families, Col. S. Blish and Mr. W. H. Blish having just arrived from Connecticut taken up temporary quarters with Mr. Little. There were also two men, W. H. Bush and Hazelton Page, lying sick of fever in the same room. When election day arrived, even Mr. Little himself, who always dwells with a sort of regretful pleasure upon the enjoyments of those early days, and finds it difficult to remember anything worthy of being termed "hardship," admits that they were "a little crowded." Sullivan Howard, H. C. Little, and Norman Butler acted as judges of election. Sullivan Howard and H. C. Little were elected Justices of the Peace, an office which Mr. Little held for more than fifteen years in the county. As a farmer, Mr. Little shared to the full all the labors and inconveniences inseparable from that calling during the settlement of the county, and, in addition, was often called to occupy posts of trust and responsibility involving public interests. In 1850, he was elected Sheriff and Collector of the county, and for two years performed the duties of those offices. Though there was no jail in the county and he sometimes was obliged to keep prisoners for weeks in his own house, chaining them at night to the cooking stove, no prisoner ever escaped from his hands. Though there was neither safe nor bank in the county, not a dollar of the revenue of those years was ever lost. All taxes were paid in gold and silver, and the coin was deposited with trusted friends in various parts of the county. Mrs. Francis Loomis was fur months the keeper of two shot-bags of gold, hidden in a rag-bag hanging from the rafters of a chamber, with hired men sleeping near. Mr. Little tells thrilling stories of long rides across the wild prairies with no companion hut a desperate thief or murderer chained and manacled by his side, whom he was conveying to the penitentiary at Alton; or bearing the scarcely less dangerous charge of a carpet-bag of gold to he deposited with the State Treasurer at Springfield. Having been all his life a Whig, and in earnest sympathy with the anti-slavery cause, Mr. Little naturally became identified with the Republican party from its organization, and as a Republican, represented the three counties of Mercer, Rock Island and Henry, with a population of over 50,000, in the exceedingly busy and laborious session of the Illinois Legislature of 1856-7. At this time he formed the acquaintance of Abraham Lincoln, John A. Logan and others who were afterward distinguished in the state and the nation. Among the acts passed by this Legislature were those for the removal of the county-seat of Mercer Co. from Keithsburg to Aledo; for enlarging the city limits of Rock Island; and for the incorporation of the town of Kewanee. Mr. Little was from its organization an active member of the Henry County Agricultural Society; was elected President the second year of its existence, and again in 1866. He has been an extensive land-holder in the county, entering from the government in 1850 and 1851 a large body of land, besides purchasing from other parties. For many years he dealt largely in lands, and the records show that few men have passed through their hands so large a portion of Henry County. Kewanee owes much to the energy and public spirit of Henry G. Little. He was one of the four original proprietors of that town, as he was also of the neighboring town of Neponset. More than one pleasant residence in Kewanee and many a spreading tree bear witness to his enterprise and taste. The dwelling now owned and occupied by Dr. Hiram Nance was built by him, and was for some years his home. During his residence in the town, he was identified with all efforts for the material, educational and religious improvement of the place, giving liberally of his time, his strength and his means for the benefit of town and school and church; and the same was true of him while living in Wethersfield. The early settlers of this county would not have been true to their Puritan ancestry had they made less thorough provision for the fostering and culture of intelligence and morality, and no one labored more earnestly, or made more cheerful sacrifices for those ends than the subject of this article. The love of learning and Christian culture, whose foundations he and his colaborers laid broad and deep while yet the wilderness looked wondenng on, have risen into fair and stately structures all over the land; and the graduation records of many a college and seminary hear the names of those who have entered into the labors of these early toilers. A sketch of the life of Henry G. Little, however brief would be incomplete without at least a reference to the genial and generous hospitality always seen in his home. Equally in the log-cabin of one room and in the spacious comfortable home of later years friends and strangers were always sure of cordial welcome, and guests were rarely wanting. For religious meetings, for benevolent organizations, for the entertainment of ministers and others whose calling or circumstances appealed to their sympathies, Mr. and Mrs. Little held always an open door. Their house was often called "the ministers' hotel," and to their ungrudging hospitality to strangers they owe many a valued friendship whose end is not yet. All of Mr. Little's children were born in Henry County. Two of them died in infancy, and one son, Frank H., in 1863, at the age of sixteen. Of the five remaining, Louise S. married Henry S. Viels, of Oberlin, Ohio, now in business in Grinnell, Iowa; Mary Maude married Prin. Jesse Macy, of Iowa College Grinnell; Elizabeth H. married J. P. Lyman, a lawyer of Grinnell; Fannie R. and Henrietta G. reside with their parents. In 1867, the whole family removed to Grinnell, Iowa, where they still remain. Mr. Little has been for four successive years elected Mayor of that city. His efforts in laying out and beautifying the Grinnell cemetery, in promoting various improvements in the town, and in building his present substantial home, show that he did not lose his taste and energy in crossing the Mississippi. Though for ten years past residents of another state, he and his wife have not lost their affection for, and interest in the scenes of their early toils and sacrifices. They return often to visit the dear old friends and stand by the graves of their children.
