Great, great, great grandparents

(5.1.1.5.4.6) HENRY FERRIS born October 18, 1809 Norway, Herkimer, NY (the sixth child in order of birth) and died April 5/15/25?, 1891 Galesburg IL; buried Hope Cemetery with his wife; born and brought up on the farm in Herkimer Co and at the district schools acquired the rudiments of an English education, with one year at Oneida Institute in New York, one year in an academy, where he studied languages, and one year at Marion College, Marion Co, Missouri. He was apparently not a sturdy youth, and so at age of 24, in the 1833, he decided to go west in search of renewed health and emigrated to Missouri. He lived in Missouri for two years, attending Marion College, which he left, it is said, because of the local feeling against him on account of his abolition principles. About this time he made a trip to Galena, Illinois, by way of Quincy, and wrote to his old home in Herkimer County, letters descriptive of the beauty and fertility of the Military Tract section of Illinois, which may have been an effective influence in shaping the decision of the first exploring party that went to Illinois in the summer of 1835 on behalf of Rev. Dr. George W. Gale's enterprise. Henry moved to Knox County IL in 1835 where he entered into farming on the land purchased by his father. Upon the grounds now occupied by the Female Department of Knox College, and south beyond the present depot grounds, Henry first broke the prairie. Henry spent his first year (winter of 1835-36) in Knox County in a dugout. On August 31, 1836, in a little log cabin, at Henderson Grove, Henry Ferris and Elizabeth Hudson (1816-1896) (Photo) were the first couple to be married in the Galesburg Colony. Miss Hudson was a native of New Hampshire and came west with Nehemiah West's family as a schoolteacher. Elizabeth was a granddaughter of General Israel Putnam, who first commanded the patriot troops in the Revolutionary War, serving at Bunker Hill until George Washington arrived on the scene. Henry and Elizabeth were members of the "Old First Church", the Congregational, although he did have his problems with the church (see separate paper.) In 1854, he had his foot ground from his leg by stepping on the joint of the tumbling shaft of the threshing machine and slipping. His foot and ankle were drawn into the joint and crushed. His foot was separated from the leg, all but the heel cord and the main artery. Dr. Bunce was called and he bound the foot in place. It was years before it was entirely healed, and hundreds of pieces of bone were taken out for months after the daily dressings. The ankle joint was always still but he thought his crippled foot was better than no foot at all. He always made his own shoes after that, as he had special lasts and a set of shoemaker's tools. He quit the vocation of agriculture in 1857, and engaged in the lumber business, which he followed for a few years only, and then returned again to his old occupation of farming. It is on record that he tried his hand awhile at mercantile business, but for a short time only, as he found it unprofitable. Farming appears to have been his favorite pursuit, and at this he was extremely successful. [Jim - April 17, 1866, a H. Ferris was issued a patent, #53,963 for a hedge-plant grab - I am assuming this is the H. Ferris.] He was one of the first men to agitate the instruction on what took form as the Military Tract Railroad, and to it subscribed the first $1,000.00 soon after increasing his subscription to $10,000.00; and his father and brother-in-law each took $10,000.00 subscriptions, making in all $30,000.00 in the family. A source stated that Henry had in his possession one of the first Certificates of Stock issued by the company and thinking it was likely the only one left in existence, described it as such: "It is a printed form, written in with pen and ink, upon a piece of common writing paper 2  x 4 3/4 inches in size: 'Central Military Tract Railroad Company, Galesburg, April 12, 1851. This is to certify that Henry Ferris is the holder of ten Shares to the Capital Stock of Central Military Tract Railroad Company and that Ten dollars of each has been paid. Signed W. A. Wood, Sec, No. 26 - This Certificate transferable on books of the Company." (Jim - see the separate paper on the Central Military Tract Railroad Company.) Mr. Ferris was possessed of wisdom and foresight enough to hold onto all the railroad stock that came into his hands, and the large revenue derived therefrom had much to do in making him one of the wealthiest men in the community. During his life, Henry never held or sought public office. He boasted of having voted for every abolition candidate for the Presidency from Birney down to Blaine. He was an Abolitionist in the early days and a Republican when that party born, and remained identified with it until his death. Mr. Ferris was a just and exact man. He was true to what he believed was right. In his dealings between man and man, he saw that each received his due. It is related of him that although importuned to do so, he refused, at a financial loss, to rent a storeroom of his Prairie street building for saloon purposes. He was always a pronounced temperance advocate. In addition to his farming activities in Knox County, Henry at one time owned considerable land in Iowa, several business properties in Galesburg, and was a substantial stockholder in the C.B.&Q Railroad. His home for many years was on Simmons Street where the Fire Department Building, in 1934, stood. His death was due to pneumonia. The illness was of a week's duration. He was conscious to within a short time of death, giving evidence of that strong will power characteristic of him. At the time of his death, he had four living children and twenty-one grandchildren. He and his wife, who outlived him 5 years and 5 months, were buried at Hope Cemetery in Galesburg. In the 1892-93 Galesburg City Directory, Mrs. Henry Ferris (widow) is listed as residing at 106 S. Cedar. She died September 10, 1896 in Galesburg. Born to Henry and Elizabeth were:

They were never heard of afterwards. It was reported that a white horse he had with him returned to Virginia City in a day or two after he left and it was supposed the whole party was killed by Indians or Mormons.

(See Letter#21 from L.T. Stone, which mentions this marriage.) Mr. Arnold spent the greater part of his youthful days upon a farm in Delaware County NY, pursuing his education in one of the old-time log schoolhouses, where the curriculum was limited, yet thorough instruction was given in the fundamental studies. Later he became a clerk in a hotel, following that pursuit in the winter months, while the summer seasons were devoted to agricultural pursuits. He came to Illinois in 1854 where during the winter he took up the profession of teaching but later turned his attention to the real-estate business and while thus engaged began studying law. In May 1862, he was admitted to the bar and for about fifteen years continued in the practice of law. His business often took him to Springfield, where he made the office of Abraham Lincoln his headquarters, in 1857-58. In 1860, he attended the Democratic National Convention at Baltimore. He laid out twelve additions to the City of Galesburg and erected over two hundred homes, selling them on monthly payments. He also carried on farming on an extensive scale, cultivating not less than a section of land for over forty years. Mr. Arnold was a prominent citizen of Galesburg; he served fifteen successive years as an alderman and he served one term as Mayor (elected in 1880) and was a trustee of Knox College, 1899-1920.
