History of Pike
County, Illinois By Chapman,
Chas. C., 1880
Dr. James Montgomery Higgins, youngest son of John and
Elizabeth Higgins, was born in Montgomery Co., Md., July 30,
1808 ; educated chiefly in Rockville, Md.; studied medicine in
Washington, D. C.; graduated in the medical department of Columbia
College in that city March 11, 1829, and has followed the practice
of his profession ever since, over half a century now. Jan. 25,
1831, he married Margaret Davis in Bourbon Co., Ky., niece of
Gov. Edward Tiffin, first Governor of Ohio ; in the following spring
he emigrated to Jacksonville, 111., and in Nov., 1834, he removed
with his wife and infant child to Griggsville, this county, where
physicians were scarcer than in Jacksonville ; in 1846 he was
elected Representative to the State Legislature ; in 1848 he was
elected Medical Superintendent of the Illinois State Hospital for
the Insane at Jacksonville, where he superintended the building of
the original hospital, at a cost surprisingly low, as attested by
a Legislative commission; he opened the institution in the fall of
1851, and conducted it with great acceptability until the summer of
1854, when he returned to Griggsville, where he has practiced ever
since except in 1862-3, when he was Surgeon of the 114th Reg. Ill.
Vol.
Besides an infant son that died in Jacksonville in 1832, the Doctor
and his wife have had 6 children, as follows :
Isaac Newton, James M.,
Edward Tiffin, Mary E., Drusilla C. and
Lizzie M.,—all living except the eldest daughter, Mrs. Mary
E. Jones. Isaac N. studied and graduated in medicine, but has
followed journalism up to the present time. In company with his
brother James M., he published the Pike County Union, the first
newspaper in Griggsville, and which was afterward transferred to
Pittsfield; subsequently he became editor-in-chief of the Illinois
State Register at Springfield, and after several years he became
managing editor of the Chicago Republican, and for 10 years past has
occupied that relation to the San Francisco Morning Call, a daily
paper of 45,000 circulation. James M., jr., a practical printer, has
been connected with the Illinois State Register in various
relations, a part of the time one of its editors. Edward T. holds an
important position in the "W. U. Telegraph office at Chicago. Mary
E. married J. Howard Jones in 1861, and died Aug. 9, 1874, in
Chicago, leaving 2 sons and an infant daughter. Drusilla C. became
the second wife of Mr. Jones on the Christmas of 1878, and
they reside in Chicago. Lizzie M. is a teacher in the public schools
of Griggsville.

- Biography of Hamer
J. Higgins -
Source: Portrait and biographical album of McLean County, Ill
(Published in Chicago in 1887)
H. J. HIGGINS, is of the firm of Higgins & Co., marble and granite
manufacturers, Bloomington, who are transacting an extensive and
profitable business. Their main office is located on East Front
street and occupies Nos. 227 and 229. The subject of this biography
was born in Georgetown, Ohio, in 1840. His parents were Hon. John J.
and Martha C. (Hetterick) Higgins, the father of Maryland and the
mother of Virginia. John J. Higgins was an attorney at law and
successfully practiced in the various courts of Ohio. He was
prominently identified with the politics of that State, being
elected a member of the Legislature and holding the offices of
County Judge and Sheriff of Brown County.
The grandfather of our subject, Col. Robert Higgins, was one of the
stanch old veterans of 1876, and contributed his full share toward
the emancipation of the colonies. After this was effected he
purchased over 1,000 acres of land in Southern Ohio. He had
previously been a slave-holder, but becoming disgusted with the
peculiar institution, gave to his slaves their liberty. He was a man
of prominence and closely identified with political affairs in the
early history of the Buckeye State. He practiced law and served as
District Judge, and spent the main part of his life at Higginsport,
which was named after him.
John J. Higgins, the father of our subject, was the youngest son of
his parents and died in Ohio in 1857. His wife survived him until
1873. Of their family of eleven children, seven are now living,
viz., Robert, Mary, Annie, Lydia, Mattie, Hamer J. and Sallie. All
are residents of Ohio except our subject.
Hamer J. Higgins remained at home until
twenty-one years of age and until after graduating from the High
School. About that time the war came on and at the first call for
troops he enlisted in the three years' service in the 59th Ohio
Infantry, and afterward re-enlisted in the 192d Ohio Infantry,
remaining in the army until the surrender of Lee. During this time
he was in twenty-nine pitched battles. He enlisted as a private and
was mustered out as First Lieutenant. He was at Shiloh, Stone River,
Chickamauga, Mission Ridge and through the entire Atlanta campaign,
fighting 120 successive days before the fall of Atlanta.
At the close of his military career young Higgins returned to Ohio
and was appointed Deputy Clerk of the Common Pleas Court, which
position he filled for two years, and then in 1868 came to Illinois.
He commenced here with a capital of $10 in cash, and after an
experience of eight years, part of which time was spent in
traveling, he established his present business in 1876. The
beautiful marble front building, a part of which is occupied as his
business office, was erected in 1886. He keeps two men on the road
and the whole force of employees ranges from eighteen to twenty-five
men. His present status in the business community as will be seen is
due to his own persevering energy. He commenced at the foot of the
latter and his present position is his just reward.
Mr. Higgins was married in Bloomington in 1870, to Miss Alice De
Vore, a native of his own State and daughter of Jackson and Hannah
De Vore. Of their union there have been born eight children Mattie,
Frank, Elmo, Maude, Charles, Ina, Robert and Lilian. Mr. Higgins is
Republican in politics, and socially is identified with the I. O. O.
F., the G. A. R. and A. O. U. W.

Inquiry
My father visited Emmetsburg with my older brothers
and sister around 1930. His name was Patrick Higgins
born in 1889 died 1979 He was a Chicago fireman. His
father was James Higgins born in Headford. My father
talked about his Uncle Pete and all the people like
Genieve, Joe and Walter and Gerald who I could be named
after. My brother Jack visited the Higgins' in 1948 on
his honeymoon and in later years saw Walter in
Chicago. Jack and Walter are both dead. We met Gerald
Farrel and wife before his fatal car crash and also
his brother the priest, a terrific man. My dad had 6
children, 33 grand and 51 great children.
A man who spent 3 months in the county hospital with
blood poisoning from stepping on a rusty nail at the
age of 14. He was in World War One and worked into
late 70's. My brother said on the way home from
Emmetsburg he had to borrow $5 from his Uncle Pete who
lived in Dubuque. He was frugal and tolerant and
tough; not much for hugs but a good guy.
Our family has been blessed and we appreciate our
lives and thank God every day.

CHRONICLES AND BIOGRAPHIES OF THE PHILOSOPHIAN
LITERARY SOCIETY OF McKENDREE COLLEGE-
EDITED BY PAUL AND CHESTER FARTHING, LEBANON, ILL.
PUBLISHED FOR THE SOCIETY 1911
Image of Isaac Higgins from above source
ISAAC N. HIGGINS, eldest son of Dr. and Mrs. J. M.
Higgins, was born in Griggsville, Greene .County,
Illinois, August 4th, 1834. He entered McKendree
College in 1848, graduating in 1854 with a degree of
A. M. He was fellow student with Wm. E. Hyde, Silas L.
Bryan, Dr. W. F. Short, Hon. W. A. J. Sparks and Dr.
J. R. M. Gaskill. After graduating from college, he
studied medicine with his father, who was one of the
most successful practitioners of his day, and
afterwards graduated at Rush Medical College at
Chicago. He seemed never to have a taste for this
profession, however, and early abandoned all attempts
at practice to engage in the newspaper business, for
which his literary tastes and fine abilities eminently
qualified him. In 1856 he embarked with his brother in
the publication of the Pike County Union, a weekly
paper, at Griggsville. In the course of a year or two
this paper was removed to Pittsfield,
the county-seat of Pike County, and its name changed
to the Pike County Democrat. Its owners disposed of it
in 1860, and I. N. Higgins went to Springfield and was
for a short time city editor of the State Journal. He
entered the War of the Rebellion as the first adjutant
of Colonel Mather's regiment, the Second Illinois
Light Artillery, serving also as war correspondent for
the Chicago Times. In 1864 he became managing editor
of the State Register. Severing his connection with
the Register, he went
to Chicago and engaged as an editorial writer on the
Times, and later managing editor of the Chicago
Republican, which afterwards became the Inter-Ocean.
During a portion of his residence in Chicago he was
also the agent for the Northwestern Associated Press.
In 1870 he accepted a position as managing editor of
the San Francisco Morning Call and held the place
until his death, March 20th, 1885. Mr. Higgins
had received all the degrees of the A. and A. Scottish
Rite of Masons, including the thirty-second degree.

HISTORY OF DOUGLAS COUNTY, ILLINOIS TUSCOLA CITY AND TOWNSHIP. 1884. lists
-W. G. Higgins is Town Clerk
-James D. Higgins was first elected Town Clerk in April 1877, was re-elected the third time, and afterward gave place to his father, W. G. Higgins, who has retained the office ever since, the business being practically in the hands of the son, whose peculiar aptness for the duties of the office has been fully endorsed by the people.
- It is not the intention of this history to give a list of all the business houses of Tuscola, but an attempt is made to show how business started. Niles returned to the southeast corner of Main street and Central avenue, and then removed to
J. M. Smith's building, corner of Avenue and Washington streets, and joined, as a partner,
W. B. Dryer. They were finally succeeded by James D.
Higgins, the present druggist on that corner.

Hon. John J Higgins resides in Du Quoin and is numbered among it prominent citizens. Mr. Higgins was
born near Broomfield, County Cork, Ireland,November,21,1845. His
father, John Higgins, died in 1848, leaving a widow and five sons, of whom
our subject is the youngest. His mother bore the name of Johanna
Moore; she was a woman of strong character, and when left a widow realized that her
duty to her sons would be best fulfilled by bringing them to free
America, rather than remaining in the land of their birth, a land at the time scourged by famine
and crushed by bad government. In May,1849,with her children, sailed from Queenstown for America and landed
in New York July 4. She remained a few months at
Nyack, on the Hudson River, and hen removed to Pittsfield
Massachusetts. Here the eldest sons found employment and made for their mother a happy
home, which she enjoyed until her death in 1869. John J. Higgins attended the public schools of
Pittsfield until 1858,when he passed an examination and was admitted to the Pittsfield High
School, where
he remained for one year. During this time he made rapid progress in his
studies, and began a course in reading, which makes him one of the best informed men
in our state. This result has been accomplished by reading study and
experience. He possesses an observing and a retentive memory, and thereby his knowledge has
constantly increased. One of the most prominent and highly educated citizens of the
county, and a man of collegiate education, who is an orator and a polished
and educated gentleman ,said to the historian: " I wish I was as good a
scholar and as well informed as John Higgins". In 1859 our subject entered the employ
of W. M. Root as an apprentice to learn the art of watch making
and remained with his employer until 1866,when he came to Illinois and settled in Du Quoin.
Here he established his business and enjoys the confidence and respect of the public. He is devoted to
his calling ,is a thorough master of his art, and possesses on of the finest horological libraries in
the west. In public affairs Mr. Higgins has always taken an active and intelligent interest,
and his ability and worth was recognized by the Democrats of the forty-eighth
senatorial district in 1882,when he was nominated and elected a member of the lower house of
the Illinois legislature. He served his constituents faithfully and
well, and in 1884 he received the Democratic nomination for Senator in the
forty-eighth district. After a thorough canvass he defeated Mr. Thorn,
his predecessor in office. Through the efforts of friends Mr. Higgins received in this contest the
heaviest vote and the largest majority ever given in the district.
His efforts while in office were directed almost entirely to restoring the business of the state
to safe and economic methods. While in the Senate, with the cooperation of a few
friends, Republicans and Democratic, he was largely instrumental in breaking up
and exposing the public printing combine, which had been organized to plunder the state
treasury. In this work alone about $60,000.00 dollars was saved to the
people. As a public speaker has a wide reputation. In 1888 and 1892 the Democratic State Committee called upon him to
canvass the Central and Northern parts of Illinois; his familiarity with the great questions of the
day, intimate knowledge of, and close touch with the people and earnest and
eloquent way of presenting his views, give him more than ordinary power as an
orator. His friends are not all found in the ranks of Democracy,
many Republicans admire and support him, and all that know him have the
utmost confidence in his integrity and ability and speak of him only in terms of praise. In
religious belief he is a Catholic. On October 15, 1872, Mr. Higgins wedded Miss
Mary, daughter of Alva and Priscilla (Holmes) Ward,
who emigrated to Illinois from Ohio, where their daughter was born.
Four children grace the union of our subject and his wife; Mary,
who is a pupil in St. Mary's Academy of Notre Dame, Indiana;
Lawrence who is now in the Du Quoin High School; Kathleen and Florence who are in the public
school.

Original source: History of Ford County, Illinois-From its earliest settlement to 1908.
Published in Chicago by S.J. Clarke Publishing 1908
-Nathan Miller Higgins -
In a history of the respectable men of Ford County
who have contributed to its development and
substantial progress and who through intelligently
directed labor have achieved success, mention should be
be made of Nathan Miller Higgins, who departed this
life on 10th of March,1907. he was uniformly respected, not only because of the success he achieved
but also by reason of the honorable, straightforward
methods which he ever followed. His birth occurred in Huntington,
Massachusetts, October 29,1845,and he was
one of a family of twelve children, three of whom died
in infancy or early childhood. He lost his father when
about ten years of age, and was left an orphan by his mother's death when he was a youth of
fifteen. he
remained a resident of Massachusetts to the age of
eighteen years, when he started for the midwest, settling at Fort Wayne,
Indiana, where he was
employed in a store for about two years, From there he
went to St. Louis, Missouri, and in the fall of 1866, joined his brother Prentice at
Elmwood, Illinois, and worked as a farm hand in his
brothers employ until the fall of 1869. That date witnessed his arrival in Ford
County. He
investigated the farm property for sale and purchased one hundred and sixty acres of
land, to which he
removed the following spring, making his home thereafter
in his county until he was called to his final rest. Later he added to the original tract until he
became the owner of two hundred and forty acres on
section 34,Brenton Township. He made all the
improvements on the first tract but the eighty acre tract which he purchased was somewhat improved when it
came into his possession. he regarded Real Estate as
the safest of all investments and therefore placed his
money in property. The home farm was brought under a
high state of cultivation through his energy and diligence and as his financial
resources increased he
added to his property from time to time until he
acquired three other farms in this vicinity,
two of eighty acres and one of one hundred and sixty acres. He likewise invested in a half section of land
in South Dakota and later an additional quarter
section and thus from his property interest derived a gratifying income. He was also stockholder in and
secretary treasurer of The Thawville Tile factory for a number of years.
On the twelfth of March,1872, Mr. Higgins was married
to Miss Mary Jane Mosher, who was near Fonda, New York, November 24,1849,and was brought to the middle west
at he age of six years by her parents, Alexander and Elizabeth(McLaughlin)Mosher,
who were natives of New
York and on removing to Illinois settled at Elmwood.
In 1877 they came to Ford County and took up their
abode one mile south of the farm upon which Mrs.
Higgins resides. There the death of the husband and father occurred, after which the other members of the
family removed to Roberts. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Higgins
were born six children; Mary Elizabeth, the wife of William Gardner of
Fisher; Charles, living at home with
his mother; Nathan Leroy, a resident of Chicago; Aleck Prentice,
Effie Stella,and Milo Edwin, all at home.
In his political views Mr. Higgins was a stalwart
Republican and held some school offices but otherwise did not care for political
preferment although he was
loyal to the principles to which he believed. He was a
man of domestic tastes, quiet and retiring in disposition, devoted to his
family, his interest
centering in his home. He was a self made man and owed
his success to close application and unremitting diligence. He always rose very early to attend his
business and story of his early rising became proverbial in the neighborhood. On one occasion
several farmers of the neighborhood purchased nursery stock and it was delivered to
Onarga, about eleven
miles from Mr. Higgins' home. One of the neighbors, who has also been a purchaser of
the stock, thought to himself, "I'll
get ahead of him once by going early to Onarga.I will
draw the shades so that he may not see the light and
will think i am still sleeping". He carried out his plan of rising early and when he got half way to
Onarga met Mr. Higgins on his way home with the trees. He still persisted,
however, that the joke was
partly on Mr. Higgins because he had wandered two miles
out of his way. In those early days there were no regularly laid out roads so it was not a difficult
thing for the traveler to wander from the path. Mr.
Higgins was never neglectful of duty but on the
contrary did ably and well everything that he undertook and as the years passed he gained a
gratifying amount of prosperity. With his wife he spent
two winters in Florida and one in Texas for the benefit of his health but death claimed him on the
10th of march,1907,when he was in his sixty second tear. His life record is in many
respects worthy of
emulation as it indicates what may be accomplished
when one has determination and energy. It was those
qualities that made Mr. Higgins one of the respectable farmers of Brenton Township and Ford
County, while the straightforward business principles
which he advocated gained for him the respect of his fellowmen. He was always straightforward and just in
his relations and, moreover, he had a kindly spirit, which was particularly manifest at his own
fireside.

Jackson Higgins
JACKSON HIGGINS, of Brooklyn, Illinois, was born in Morgan county, Ohio, in 1832. His father,
Daniel (Higgins), was born in Green county, Pennsylvania, January 20, 1807,
and his father, Joseph (Higgins), was born near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and was engaged in farming. He was born
in 1777, and died in 1840, marrying Polly Henderson, and raising a family of twelve children. He was
drafted into the war of 1812, but sent a substitute. Daniel was married February 28, 1828, in Green county,
Pennsylvania, to Sarah Brewer. They moved from there to Morgan county, Ohio, about 1830. In the fall of
1838, they came to Illinois with a small horse and wagon, bringing four small children, being twenty-six
days on the road. There were six families in the party. The trip was a pleasant one, and the winter
following was mild. They found the grass very tall, gone to seed, all kinds of game, and very recent marks
of the buffalo remaining. Agues and fevers were universal.
Mr. Higgins is the oldest resident in this part of Schuyler county. He took up eighty acres of school
lands, and soon obtained a deed, which he has held until he came to live with his son. He was a tailor by
profession, having learned his trade in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, when a young man, having worked at it
much of the time. In those early days the wives carded, spun and wove wool and flax, and Mr. Higgins
in his trade, served the neighborhood well. His wife died, November, 1880, aged seventy-four years, leaving
four living children, ten having been born. Mr. Higgins, in his eighty-sixth year, is bright and
active.
Jackson has been a farmer all his life. He started on forty acres, and has from time to time added to it
until his farm is now 227 acres, all fenced and more than one-half under the plow. There is some timber and
large pasturage.
He was married in 1858, to Sarah, daughter of William and
Polly (Fowler) Burnett of England, but who have been residents here for many years. They have two
sons, William Harrison, married, residing on the home farm, and John
R., married, and also on the farm. They are all Democrats and Methodists. Mr. Higgins has been
Justice of the Peace for four years and has served the county as Road Commissioner.

Daniel M. Higgins. Although this gentleman is still quite a young man, he has become well-known as a
successful farmer, who pursues the most approved methods in the management of his estate, keeping it
above a par in its improved and orderly appearance, and making of it an attractive as well as remunerative
piece of property. He is also held in good repute as an honest, upright man and citizen, who, although not
a member of any religious organization, is a liberal contributor to the church and all good causes.
The parents of our subject, Hiram Higgins and Elizabeth
Baughman, were married February 14, 1844, and took up their residence in Cass Township, this
county. The mother had been born in that township December 10, 1828, and the father had opened his eyes
to the light in Kentucky, March 4, 1820. They occupied a farm in the township mentioned until the death of
the husband, October 27, 1883. The widow remained at the old home two years, then took up her residence
with her daughter, Mrs. Ellen Landis, with whom she still makes her home.
Our subject was born October 25, 1852, being the fourth son in a family that included seven sons and
two daughters. He received his education in the district schools of his native township, and resided
under the parental roof until his marriage, which was solemnized December 20, 1883. He then established his
own home on the homestead, remaining there until the 1st of March, 1889, when he took possession of his
present place of abode.
The property purchased by Mr. Higgins consists of two hundred and forty acres on section 25, Deerfield
Township, upon which the various improvements had been made that make it a desirable place of residence. The
dwelling is a two-story brick structure, well built, and designed with a view to the comfort of the
occupants, the main part being 18x36 feet, with an "L" of the same size. It contains eight large rooms with
porches, etc., and has pleasant surroundings. The barn is 36x40 feet, with an immense shed attached 16x80
feet in size, affording adequate shelter for a large number of animals, and much fodder.
The charming woman who has the oversight over the home and household affairs, was formerly Miss
Sarah E. Heller. She was born in Deerfield Township, September 17, 1858, to worthy parents who gave her a good
education and home care. Her father, John J. Heller, was born in Ashland County, Ohio, and died March 29,
1879, at the age of forty-nine years. Her mother, Lydia (Zimmerman)
Heller, who is still living, is a native of Deerfield Township. Mr. and Mrs. Higgins
have three little sons: Howard C., born September 25, 1884; Charles
M., June 6, 1886, and Boyd V., January 31, 1890.
Mr. Higgins takes no active part in political work other than to deposit a Democratic ballot upon
election day. He evinces no desire for public office, but served satisfactorily as Collector in Cass
Township. He is a member of South Fiatt Grange, No. 1644.
The reader will notice on another page, a view of the pleasant homestead of Mr. Higgins. (page 491)

Hiram S. Higgins, the subject of this sketch, was born in Kentucky, April 24, 1820. He is the son of
James Higgins, from Bourbon Co. Ky.; came to this county in 1836; was formerly a cooper, but is a farmer
and stock-raiser at present. He has superior facilities for raising stock. In his wood pasture
there is a pool 12 feet long by 6 feet wide and 6 feet deep, which flows freely the year round and never has
been known to freeze over. He helped organize Company I of the 103d Ill. Inf. during the Rebellion; went
into camp, but returned on recruiting commission. Has held the office of School Trustee ten years; has also
been Town Clerk and Road Commissioner. He married Elizabeth Baughman Feb. 15, 1844, by whom he has 9
children. Mrs. B. is a member of the Christian Church. P. O., Smithfield.

discharged. He enlisted Aug. 21, 1861, for three years in Company K, 33d Illinois Infantry-Normal. He was
wounded June 18, 1863, at the siege of Vicksburg. The wound was a remarkable one. A musket ball entered his
face below and forward of the right ear, passed over the roof of the mouth, and came out of the left eye.
He recovered without totally losing the sight of that eye. He re-enlisted Jan. 1, 1864, as a veteran in the
same company and regiment. He was promoted through all grades from private, and was commissioned as Captain
Nov. 16, 1864, and served to the end of the rebellion, and was honorably discharged Dec. 7, 1865. He was
appointed by Gov. Palmer, March 24, 1869, Assistant Adjutant General, and was appointed by Gov.
Beveridge, Jan. 20, 1873, Adjutant General of the State of Illinois, which he held two years. Gen. E. L. Higgins
was married Sept. 7, 1870, to Mrs. Mary J. Hoskins, whose maiden name was
Huntington. She was born July 30, 1847, at Geneva, New York. She had one child,
Charles H. Hoskins who died July 26, 1874, in his sixth year. Mr. and Mrs. Higgins have one living
child, FLORA BELLE, and reside in Springfield.

HIGGINS, OWEN, (deceased), who was for over thirty years a resident of Springfield, Ill., was well known in that city and
highly respected as a useful and enterprising citizen. He was born in Ireland, March 22, 1848, son of
John and Catherine (Flynn) Higgins, both natives of Ireland, where they carried on farming. Mr. Higgins had small educational advantages but
made the most of his opportunities and received a fair education in the country schools of his native land. He worked on the farm with
his father until 1874, then emigrated to the United States, and after spending a short time in
Pittsburgh, Pa., and Rock Island, Ill., located in Springfield, where he lived the remainder of his life. He followed the trade of iron worker after coming to Springfield
and was an expert in this line. He was industrious and energetic and accumulated considerable real estate. He never took an
active part in politics, but was a Democrat all his life.
Mr. Higgins was married, in Springfield, January 25, 1878, to Miss Annie
Hofferty, a native of Ireland, born January 1, 1856, daughter of Peter and
Cecilia (Dwyer) Hofferty, both born in Ireland, where their entire lives were spent. They were farmers.
Several children were born to Mr. Higgins and his wife, of whom the following survive:
John B., stationary engineer for the Springfield Water Works, is married and lives at 1513 East Jefferson Street, Springfield;
Peter F., unmarried, living at home with his mother; George
W. and Charles V., yard masters for the Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis Railroad Company, at
Springfield; Thomas J., a railroad machinist; Katie J. and
Cecilia E., attending school and living at home with their mother. Mrs.
Higgins owns the home at 1129 East Reservoir Street.
Mr. Higgins died March 13, 1907, and his remains are buried in Calvary Cemetery, Springfield. He was devoted to his family
and friends and his loss was widely mourned. He was a devout member of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, and was
affiliated with Lodge Nol. 25, Court of Honor, and the Catholic Order of Foresters.

LANCASTER-(old) CEMETERY, Lancaster Precinct, Wabash County, IL
http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/data/il+index+7985142901660+F
America's Bicentennial years are spanned by the lifetimes of those who comprise
the "community" of an old cemetery. Here in Old Lancaster Cemetery repose at
least eleven persons who were born before 1800; there probably are others in
unmarked graves. The earliest-born in Lancaster Cemetery are Betsey Higgins
and her husband John Higgins. She was born Apr. 23, 1777 and he on Oct. 23, 1778,
during the time of the Revolutionary War. If Betsey Higgins could tell her story,
she might relate it thus: "John (Higgins) was a ship carpenter back East, and we were doing well. But after his brother
Willis (Higgins) went out West to Illinois Territory in 1812, we had wonderful reports
from him of this new country with plentiful game and good timberland. They said
Illinois was going to become a state soon. So in 1816 we made the long trip by boat,
with John's parents (George W. and Prentice Higgins) and his brothers
William and Ransom, and his sisters. Seven or eight other families, friends of ours, came to
Illinois too. John and I and our six children: William, George, John, Delia,
Betsey, and our own family boat was in the lead. What a journey that was, and one which I'll
never forget! We settled at Mier (Lancaster's early name), and John built the first
log house here in 1817. He and John Keracher were the early proprietors of our town.
John's parents and brothers settled in Friendsville where there was a fort for
protection from the Indians. Life wasn't easy and we lost our little daughter Betsey
that first year. Sometimes I got so homesick. But all in all, it was a good life,
and our children liked it here. They're grown now and have families of their own."
Betsey Higgins died Sept. 25, 1847 at the age of 70 years, 4 months, and 27 days.
Her husband died in 1852. Their tombstones, two thin white limestone slabs, are
characteristic of the simple dignity which was the hallmark of their day. The
many descendants of the Higgins family in this area today include the allied lines
of Berninger, McJilton, Crum, Hershey, Biehl, Seibert, Smith, Leighty,
Staninger, Greathouse and many others.
