Much valuable ancestral data is contained in a large book containing the minutes, necrological lists and membership data 1869-1899. A photocopy has been made of the many pages, and is being put on a computer listing for future use by Florence Hutchison and Warren Haley. To introduce the membership list, the following information is taken from the History of Morgan County, 1878 by Donnelley, Loyd & Company, pages 319,320.

"The following history of the Association, with its list of members, was prepared by the Secretary, Mr. Timothy Chamberlain. The society is one of the best organized in the Western States. Mr. Chamberlain has taken great pains in keeping the records of its meetings, and the list of its members, in an exceedingly neat and systematic manner in a book prepared by him expressly for this purpose:

"At a Fourth of July celebration at Arcadia in 1869, there were found to be a large number of the early settlers of the county, and the conversation naturally turning to things and events of the past, and a desire having been expressed by many of the aged persons present to meet their friends of early days, it was decided among them that a call should be issued in the papers, and all invited to be present at a picnic."

The following notice appeared in the Jacksonville Journal of September 2, 1869:

"OLD SETTLERS' MEETING -- A meeting of the old settlers of Morgan County will be held at Arcadia, Thursday, September 9th, in D. G. Henderson's grove, at which time Judge William Thomas, J. T. Jones and M. P. Ayres, will speak.

Other speakers are expected, and without doubt the picnic, for such it is to be, will be an occasion of great interest. It is desired that all those residing in the territory, which in 1830 was embraced in Morgan County, should be present and participate in the exercises. Old settlers are particularly invited."

The first regular meeting of the old settlers of Morgan, Cass and Scott, was held in the grove near Arcadia, on Thursday, September 9th, 1869. Pioneers from all parts of these counties were on hand at an early hour. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. Joel Goodrick. Hon. Joseph Morton, Capt. Yaples, Judge Whitlake, Bradley Thompson, M. P. Ayres, and others, made remarks appropriate to the occasion. A letter was read from Judge William Thomas, apologizing for and explaining his absence. Mr. Charles Cox was First Marshal of the day, and Mr. John M. Wilson assistant. Dr. John Craig was Secretary.

Not less than 500 persons were present. An ode was sung, composed by Major George M. McConnel, of Jacksonville. The following resolution, offered by Mr. M. P.Ayres, was unanimously adopted:

"Resolved, That we cherish tenderly the recollection of the names of our honored dead, the early pioneers of our county, and we realize that though dead, yet through their works they still speak, and we trust we may imitate their virtues, and show by our works our appreciation of the toils and trials endured in our behalf."

It was intended that a regular association should be organized at this time, so that hereafter annual meetings might be held, and every valuable act concerning the history of the counties be preserved. However, the time was so fully occupied with other matters, that such an organization could not be effected, and a meeting was called for August 25, 1870, which met again in Henderson's grove, hear Arcadia, and after listening to speeches from Hon. Newton Cloud, Rev. N. P. Heath, Major G. M. McConnel, Senator Richard Yates, and others a society was organized, and a constitution was presented and adopted. All could then become members who were in this region, previous to the deep snow of 1830 and 1831.

Its Past and Present 1878

The above publication contained a complete account of the history of the Old Settlers' Association, as well as a complete list of members prepared by the Secretary, Mr. Timothy Chamberlain. Although the group of old settlers who organized the association intended to accomplish said organization at a meeting held on September 2, 1869, it wasn't until the next meeting called for August 25, 1870, that a constitution was presented and read by Judge Wm. Thomas. After the constitution was slightly amended, it was adopted. According to the original provisions, "all can become members who were in this region previous to the deep snow of 1830 and 1831". The organization consisted of old settlers residing in the counties of Morgan, Cass and Scott, composed of the territory originally included in the County of Morgan.

The entire constitution is presented in this account as were the list of officers at that time. The officers listed were as follows: President, Wm. Thomas; Vice-Presidents, Elliott Stevenson, William Lindsey, and Jesse Henry; Secretary, Timothy Chamberlain; Treasurer, John Robertson; Chaplain, Rev. William Gallaher; Marshal, Charles Sample; Finance Committee, Bazzill Davenport, John A. Wright, John Tureman; Executive Committee, Huram Reeve, John Bergen, Joseph Morton, Keeling Berry and Samuel Brockman.

The account went on to say that there would be no charge made for membership, and that "all who have been in the limits of old Morgan previous to 1840, have frequently been invited to sign the constitution, or send their names to the secretary. Yet there are a great many persons who have neglected to attend to this matter, and their names therefore do not appear in the following list of members:"

---------------------------

The Old Settlers' Meeting.



The location of the old settlers' picnic has not yet been decided upon, and

the people of Jacksonville should make every effort to have it at the Fair

Ground here. Jacksonville is the most central point that is fit for an

occasion like this, and is the only place in either Morgan or Cass

counties that can be reached by railroad from every locality.

The occasion promises to be

a grand one. If it is located at a point that the people can reach

there will be an immense crowd in attendance. The people are

tired of getting off at a way station and wading through rain and

dust for the purpose of seeing their old friends.

Let the FairGround here be selected. It has all the advantages possessed

by other places, and many others besides. Shade, water and grass are in

abundance. It is easy of access from every part of both counties,and the

amphitheater can be well utilized in case of rain, and it will serve as a

resting place for those who are tired. In fact we cannot think of an

objection that can be made to the place. Of course it will be to the

advantage of the people of the city to have the meeting take place here.

Let every one constitute himself a committee of one to procure the location

as we suggest.

Old Settlers Day

_____

Twenty-Third Annual Reunion

at the Fair Grounds

To-day.

_____

A Large Crowd in Attendance,

and an Enjoyable

Gathering.

_____

The old settlers reunion of Morgan and Cass counties long since came to be one of the

most successful gatherings held in this part of the state. Old and young gather from all parts

to make the day one long to be remembered. This day has not been an exception to the rule.

The day is an ideal one as far as weather and roads can go to make it such. The rain of

yesterday settled the dust and the heat of the day is only such as to make it enjoyable and

not uncomfortable. During the early morning the road were lined with vehicles on their way

to the grounds, trains came in loaded down, street cars were filled and the heavy laden

dinner baskets betokened the destination of the travelers.

The Juvenile Band, of this city, is furnishing the music. They paraded around the square

this morning at 9:30 discoursing music sweet as only they can. They then proceeded to the

fair grounds and began the exercises with a selection.

The chairman of the day is Marshall P. Ayers, and everybody knows that he is a veteran

and a most successful chairman, as well as one of the leading old settlers' in the county.

He is doing his duty nobly today.

Coronation was the first song, Dr. M. H. Goodrick, acting as chorister. Everybody was

invited to sing and almost everybody did. Scripture reading and prayer came next,

Rev. C.B. Barton leading. He read the forty-seventh Psalm and made appropriate

remarks bearing on the thought of the Scripture which was that of praise to God for mercies

received.

Next Came the song, Rock of Ages, everybody singing, and after it the sec-retary's report,

read by the secretary, Timothy Chamberlain. It included the recommendation for the

election of officers for the ensuing year as follows:

President, M. P. Ayers

Vice Presidents, Wm. Stevenson, W. P. Hart, J. H. Tureman, Hirem Reeve and T. M. Angelo.

Secretary, Timothy Chamberlain.

Treasurer, John Robertson.

Marshal, W. C. Self

Chaplain, W. F. Short

The minutes were adopted in full as read, not withstanding a vigorous protest by Mr. Ayers

against his re-election as president.

The reading of the necrological record came next, and included a great many names of

old settlers who have passed away during the past year.

A song, The Shining Shore, was then announced, and it was sung with a will.

Rev. J.C. Sargent and a chorus of old settlers joined in the singing of an old hymn which

was very much appreciated.

Roland M. Diller was introduced as an old settler from Sangamon county. He spoke of

many of his experiences in the early days, giving a most interesting talk and many

reminiscences of cabin experience and primitive life. He referred particularly to his own

personal life, to the free-heartedness

of early settlers and to the enjoyment of life at that time. He told of his first experience at

deer hunting in Sangamon county, and described the Buck ague, as he experienced it.

He paid a glowing tribute to the women of that day. Though they were not as well dressed

as those of to-day, they were just as pretty and deserve a great deal of credit for their part

of the early work done. The men who are close

in financial matters with their wives received a vigorous scoring at his hands.

The morning exercises were brought to a close by another selection by the band and the

audiencedispersed to various parts of the ground for dinner.



Notes



The number of visitors from outside the county is very great. Cass county visitors are

particularly noticeable by their presence.

The crowd assembled on the fair ground is probably the largest ever ass-embled on a

like occasion.This afternoon's program is of a very interesting character and will be given

in detail in to-morrow's COURIER.

The fair grounds are in good shape for a large gathering like that of to-day, although the

improvements are not com-pleted and a large force of men are at work. The east and

southeast parts accommodate the crowd to-day.

A large number of the old settlers were photographed in a body just after the morning

exercises closed. They were seated on the north side of the tent.

The large tent which has been used for several years past is again doing duty. It is

located in the eastern part of the grounds and was filled to overflowing this morning.

1895 Old Settlers Reunion



THE OLD SETTLERS - 1895 ______ PROCEEDINGS OF THE TWENTY- SEVENTH ANNUAL REUNION _____ Of the Old Settlers' Association of Morgan and Cass Counties – Thous- ands of Citizens Present – Addresses by Prominent Citizens — Officers Elected – Necrological Record. "We are passing away," was the legend printed on the song programs of the twenty-seventh annual reunion of the Old Settlers' Association of Morgan and Cass counties, held in the fair grounds to-day, and one has only to glance at the necrological record for the past year to be brought to the full realization of the fact that grim death has made decisive inroads into the ranks of our old citizens, for the deaths number somewhere between 160 and 170, and there were a few not reported at all, for the physicians of Cass county are lax in the matter of returning their death certificates to the county clerk. The oldest settler in Morgan county whose death was recorded the past year was Mrs. Sarah Doty, aged 97, and the oldest of Cass was Bridget Fitzsimmons, aged 100.
THE REUNION
The reunion of the old settlers and the young settlers, too, brought an immense crowd of visitors to the city today. The attendance this morning was estimated at between two and three thousand, and it was expected that the number would be swelled to five thousand this afternoon. The committees of arrangements did their work well, and the beautiful weather considered it is not surprising that there has been an immense outpouring of people. The marshall and his assistants are the same as will be found in the list of officers published with this report, and F.M. Ferguson was the chief of the police depart-ment of the grounds. Country visitors began arriving in the city very early this morning, and after stopping a short time down town proceeded to the grounds. City people went out in buggies and the street cars, the railroads brought in large numbers and by 10 o'clock the fair grounds presented a lively appearance. Plenty of pure ice water was provided free for drinking purposes and in one of the exhibition halls a watchman was provided to look after the lunch baskets. The exercises of the day took pace under the large pavilion used for machinery during the fair. Seats were provided for about two thousand people. The speaker's stand was erected at the east side of the building. It was handsomely decorated with the national colors and flowers and conspicuous on the background was a large painting of J. W. Goltra, one of the early presidents of the association. The decorating of the stand was the work of a committee from the Woman's Relief Corps, G.A.R.
THE FORENOON PROGRAM
It was about 10:30 when President Conover called the assemblage to order and announced music by the Juvenile band. At that time every foot of space under the great pavilion was occupied, while on the platform were some 15 or 20 of the oldest members of the association, most of them ladies. The band played Sousa's "March - The Directorate," and then all united in singing the grand old hymn "Coronation," Prof. Zeller leading and the band accompanying. Prayer was offered by Rev. Julian Sturtevant, of Aurora, Ill., who was born in Morgan county 61 years ago. After prayer the hymn, "Shining Shore," was sung, and then the venerable secretary, Timothy Chamberlain, read the minutes of the last business meeting, and the same were adopted.
The following officers having been selected by a committee, they were unanimously elected:
President - Geo. Conover.
Vice presidents - J. E. Wright, M. J. Clerihan, John Robertson, Wm. Epler, R. R. Stevenson, M. P. Ayers and J.H . Tureman..
Secretary - Timothy Chamberlain.
Treasurer - Frank Robertson.
Marshals - T.M. Angelo, chief; R. R. Stevenson, W.H. Jordan, assistants.
Chaplain - G.R.S. McElfresh.
After the singing of "America" Secretary Chamberlain read the necrological record, and then the president introduced Rev. Julian M. Sturtevant, who in a brief address paid a glowing tribute to the old settlers who have passed to the other world. The speaker said he had not resided in Morgan county for many years but among the list of the departed he recognized many familiar names. He thought we had learned to appreciate the work and worth of those early pioneers. He took issue with the noted Frenchman who asserted that Americans did not love their homes, for, said he, we have in this county the most touching illustrations of the love and even veneration of the home. In the history of America we see the home transplanted pure and untarnished across the continent. Those early homes were the homes of simplicity and love, the homes of privation and honest toil, and the good and the beautiful which we enjoy in our homes of today are due to the toil and self-sacrifice of those old people whose memories we love to honor today. Then let us honor them by holding fast what they regarded as sacred all over this broad land. At the conclusion of this address M. J. Clerihan offered a resolution of thanks to the ladies of the W.R.C., who had so beautifully decorated the speaker's stand. The resolution was adopted by a rising vote. After the singing of the hymn "Sweet Bye and Bye" Dr. P.G. Gillett was introduced. He regarded he reunion as a touching occasion to all who had learned to venerate the aged pioneers of Illinois. He thought the early history of Illinois most intensely interesting and deprecated the fact that our youth devote so much time to reading the history of the Pilgrim and Huguenot fathers and so little to the history of the early Illinois territory. The history of Illinois began before that of some of the states east of her, and her early period was replete with romance and even tragedy. Illinois men had shown in battles with the Indian and later in their battles for the Union that they were brave men, and it was possible that to Illinois men was largely due the ultimate success of the struggle for our nations's flag. M. P. Ayers was next introduced but he said he would not make a long speech because he thought he might have a chance on the afternoon program. He said he had been in Jacksonville 65 years and if there were any old people in the audience who had known his father or who had known him (the speaker) when he was a boy he would like to take him by the hand. There-upon one old lady remarked in an undertone that she knew the speaker when he was a little boy and raided watermelon patches. Mr. Ayers protested. He said if there was any one present who knew of any of his bad pranks when a boy he didn't want them to tell. He never hooked a watermelon in his life but he went with some boys once who did. After singing the hymn "Nearer, My God, to Thee," an adjournment was made till 1:30. Dinner was the next thing in order and soon hundreds of old and young settlers formed in groups about the grounds enjoying the good things from well filled baskets.
