First Generation

1. David1 Gross, son of Jacob Gross Sr. and Sabina-Lavina (Dorothy) (Unknown) Gross, was born in NC June 20, 1784. David died September 14, 1828 in Sullivan County, IN, at 44 years of age. His body was interred in Pleasant Green Cemetery, Sullivan County, IN.

He married twice. He married Jane Lynch in NC?, abt. 1804. He married Jane (Jean) Sanders in Guilford County, NC, August 4, 1813.

David Gross and Jane (Jean) Sanders were married on August 4, 1813 in Guilford County, NC. Bondsman: Jesse McCulston. Parents: Joel & Mary Sanders. David Gross was also listed as a bondsman for the marriage of Jesse Jones and Temperance Farrington on May 12, 1812. (Source: "Abstracts of Marriage Bonds, Guilford County, NC, 1771-1840 Vol 1" pages 72 & 97, Compiled by Ruth F. Thompson & Louise J. Hartgrove) David's brother Jacob Gross married Sarah Farrington. Temperance was the daughter of William & Ann (Lomax) Farrington and first cousin to Sarah Farrington Gross.

Jane was born in NC March 1, 1787. Jane was the daughter of Joel Sanders and Mary Elmore. Jane died April 8, 1856 in Sullivan County, IN, at 69 years of age. Her body was interred in Drake Cemetery, Sullivan County, IN.

There is a Jane "Cross" buried at Drake Cemetery, Fairbanks Twp., Sullivan County, IN (where some of Benjamin & Sarah (Gross) Drake's children are buried). She is listed as Jane Cross, wife of David - Died April 8, 1856 age 79 yrs 1mo 7 days. This would mean that Jane was born March 1, 1777. From census records it appears that she was born in 1787 and died between 1850-1860. Given the fact that this Jane is buried at the same place that some of her grandchildren are buried, that her husband is listed as David, and that she died in 1856 -- I believe that there is a strong possiblity that this Jane is in fact Jane (Sanders) Gross, wife of David Gross.

Conflicting evidence states that David was born in Surry County, NC, June 20, 1794.

There is some conflict on who David married and his birthdate and date of death. According to "Chadwell Heritage," David Gross lived in Guilford County, NC before moving to Sullivan County, IN. His daughter married Mr. Rankin. I have found that is was his daughter, Elizabeth, who married William Rankin. There is a marriage record for David Gross m. Jane Sanders in Guilford County, NC on Aug 4, 1813. Elizabeth Gross' date of birth is 1807, before the marriage of David Gross to Jane Sanders. I have also seen him listed as married to Jane Lynch and living in Surry County, NC. The mention of Surry County makes me wonder about the information since I know that the descendants of Simon & Theobald Gross lived in that area. This also brings in the question of his date of birth/death. I've seen both his and David, son of Theobald, as being born in 1781 and dying on Sep 14, 1828. I do believe that he died before 1840 since there is a land record for a Jane Gross in Sullivan County, IN in 1837 I've also seen David, son of Theobald, as married to a Jane. It makes me wonder if there has been some confusion between the two Davids. I believe that David, son of Theobald, moved to Kentucky along with the rest of that family. Jacob Gross, whom I believe to be the brother of David, was also married in Guilford County, NC to Sarah Farrington. A couple of David's descendants carry the Farrington name which seems to support his relationship with Jacob. --Shari

According to Jinny at Jinny@viaduct.custom.net, her ancestor, Jessie Pierce [b. abt. 1800 Surry County, NC] was orphaned and raised by the David Gross family. Jessie went with David and family to Sullivan County, IN.

It appears that Jessie named some of his children after David Gross' children: Addison Gross Pierce, Sarah Pierce, and Cyrus Pierce.

FLAT BRANCH TOWNSHIP (Shelby County)

ADDISON G. (Gross) PIERCE, who has been engaged in farming in Flat Branch township since 1865, was born in Fairbanks township, Sullivan county Indiana, on the 10th of June, 1834. He is descended from a South Carolina family. His father, Jesse Pierce, was born in South Carolina, and came to Indiana when a small boy. His parents were dead, and he was raised by a man named David Gross, one of the pioneer settlers of Sullivan county, Indiana. On reaching manhood he married Keziah Harris, a native of Ohio. She also came to Indiana at a tender age. Mr. Pierce's parents both died in Indiana. Addison G. Pierce was the seventh of a family of thirteen children. He was raised in Sullivan county. His mother died when he was nine years old, and his father when he was f ifteen, and after that he was obliged to take care of himself, and get along the best he could. In his boyhood the schools were all subscription schools, and he had limited opportunity for acquiring anything more than an ordinary education. He succeeded i n qualifying himself for the transaction of all kinds of business; but this was done mostly by his own efforts. He was married on the 11th of September, 1856, to Lucy Ann Clark, who was born in Turman township, Sullivan county, Indiana, on the 5th of Octo ber, 1832. Her grandfather, Reuben Clark, lived in Saratoga county, New York, and married Agnes McClure, a native of Scotland. Her father, Justus Clark, was born in Saratoga county, New York, and married Sallie Reed, a native of the same county. In the ye ar 1818, Mrs. Pierce's parents emigrated to the west. From Pittsburg they came down the Ohio river in a kind of flat boat of their own construction, and after capsizing two or three times, reached Evansville in safety. In 1820 they settled in Sullivan co unty, Indiana.They were among the pioneer settlers. The county was then full of Indians, and they experienced many inconveniences and hardships. The old house which they first built is still standing in Turman township, Sullivan county, Indiana, four mile s from the Wabash river.

After Mr. Peirce was married he went to farming for himself, and lived in Indiana till 1865, and then moved to Shelby county, Illinois, and settled on section 35, of Flat Branch township. He bought ninety acres of land, on which there was a small improvem ent. He has been living there ever since; he now owns one hundred and fifty acres, and is known as one of the progressive farmers of the township. He has three children now living. Arthur S. was born on the 22d of August, 1859; Reuben Elmer Ellsworth on t he 13th of May, 1866; and Herbert Clark Pierce on the 5th of August, 1874. Two others died in infancy. In his politics he was first a member of the democratic party, and in 1856 vo-ted for James Buchanan for president. He continued to be a democrat till of recent years he became convinced that both of the old parties were wrong on financial issues, and the currency question. He has since supported the National Greenback party, and i n the campaign of 1880, supported James B. Weaver for the presidency. He is a member of the Baptist church. He is a man who stands well as a neighbor and a citizen.

The Estate (300 Acres) of Jacob Gross was divided into 11 parts: David Gross late of Guilford Co. NC to Jacob Gross (1/11th ) estimated to be 27 acres, whereon Solomon Gross now lives, 29 Aug 1821; Solomon Gross to Jacob Gross (3/11) 19 June 1821; William & Sabina P. Engle to Jonathan Gross (1/11) 1822. ...tract of land belonging to the heirs of Jacob Gross, decd. [Sullivan Co. TN DB9-292, 293, 398]

Jane Gross of Sullivan County, IN purchased 40 acres of land in Section 28 of T9N-R10W on March 30, 1837.

1820 Guilford County, NC Census [P31]: David Gross (Males) 2 1 0 0 1 0 (Females) 2 2 1 1 0

1850 Sullivan County, IN Census [285B]: Jane Gross 63.

There is a marriage record for a Julia Gross to George Elembaugh on June 19, 1879 in Sullivan County, IN. Possible granddaughter of David? (Sullivan County, IN marriages Book 5, page 388, Microfishe #4232)

David Gross and Jane Lynch had the following children:

child 2 i. Sabina2 Gross was born in Guilford County, NC June 20, 1805. Sabina died in Sullivan County, IN.

child + 3 ii. Elizabeth Gross was born February 26, 1807.

child 4 iii. Cyrus Gross was born in Guilford County, NC July 22, 1809. Cyrus died in Sullivan County, IN.

child 5 iv. Addison Gross was born in Guilford County, NC November 6, 1810. Addison died in Sullivan County, IN.

Addison Gross and Benjamin Drake of Sullivan County, IN purchased 80 acres in Section 21 of T9N-R10W on December 2, 1830.

From various family trees posted on the internet, I came across an Unknown Grose who married (Mary) Elizabeth Sanders, d/o John Sanders and Emma/Eunice. Conflicting information has that she was born August 13, 1810 or 1806 NC and died March 13, 1839 or 1852 Greene County, IN. Around 1836, she married Franklin Jessup and since I've seen their children being born up through 1851, I'm guessing she died around 1852. Now the interesting thing is that not only did her family move from NC to Greene County, IN (which borders Sullivan County, IN) around the 1820s, but her brother, John Westly/Wesley Sanders, named one of his sons Addison Gross Sanders. I suspect that the unknown Grose that Elizabeth Sanders married might be Addison Gross, s/o David Gross and Jane (Lynch?). David's second marriage was to Jean/Jane Sanders. If my suspicions are correct, then it would appear that Addison Gross was her first husband and that he died before 1836 and that would explain why he doesn't appear on any of the census records.

David Gross and Jane (Jean) Sanders had the following children:

child 6 v. Gaston Gross was born in Guilford County, NC May 24, 1814. Gaston died in Sullivan County, IN.

HONORABLE DAVID RANKIN

Hon. David RANKIN, Prominent among the self made men of Missouri is the subject of this biography. He was born on the 28th of May 1825 in Sullivan County, Indiana. His father, William Rankin was born in Jefferson County, Ohio, and was a wheelwright by occupation. He married Elizabeth Gross, who was a native of Guilford County, North Carolina, both of whom were of German-American origin. David accompanied his parents to Parke County, Indiana when six years of age, and then to Vermillion County, Indiana, when eight years old.

After remaining there three years, they immigrated west to Warren County, Illinois in what is now Henderson County in 1836. there the subject of this sketch was reared to manhood, spending his boyhood days of the farm and in his father's saw mill. He received the benefits of a common school education. Being a member of a poor family he was obliged to work hard. When he became a young man, his father gave him a colt, and this was his commencement in the stock business. By trading and saving what money he could, he finally obtained enough to buy eighty acres of land, giving one hundred dollars for it. He still resides on this old homestead, which is located near Biggsville, Illinois, some twelve miles east of Burlington, Iowa. Mr. R. then went to work with a will, farming and stock raising. He possessed those sterling principles of honesty, integrity, and attention to business, and has made a grand success in life. He owns thirty thousand acres of improved land, valued at one million dollars, about twenty-four thousand acres of which is located in Atchison county, and he may truly be called the land king of Northwest Missouri. He is president of the First National Bank of Monmouth, Illinois, and is largely interested in several others, among which is the Savings Bank of Burlington, Iowa, Rankin, Stevenson & Co., of Tarkio, and others. He is a member of the Tarkio Town Company, and owns a sixth interest therein, and also owns a sixth interest in Fairfax and Westboro. He was elected on the Republican ticked to represent his district in the Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth general assemblies of the Illinois Legislature in 1872, and was re-elected again the next term (1874). His district was a strong Democratic one, but he was elected the first time by sixty-seven majority, and the next time by over 1,800 majority. He was a candidate for congress in 1876, and received every vote of his district for twenty-five ballots. He superintends his business himself, and knows just how every department is conducted. His assistant superintendents generally have an interest with him, and are there-fore working for themselves as well as him. He owns some 600 head of horses and mules, feeds his grain mostly to his stock and owns a large stock ranch in Nebraska. He generally ships a train or two of cattle at one time. In his manners he is unassuming, yet cordial, kind-hearted and generous, every worthy public enterprise receiving his support. He has been an active member of the United Presbyterian Church since he was about twenty-six years of age. He is honored and respected by all who are favored with his acquaintance, and none deserve success more than David Rankin. He has been twice married. First on the 21st March 1850 to Miss Sarah Tompson, a native of Guernsey County, Ohio, born in 1826. She was a daughter of Adam and Jane Tompson, who were natives of Ohio. She died in December 1878, leaving three children: Nettie V., born July 28, 1855, (now Mrs. J. F. Hanna of Tarkio); John A., born November 21, 1856, and William F., born January 1, 1860. Mr. R. was married again in January, 1879 to Elizabeth Gowdy. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Philips, and she was born in Gibson County, Indiana, but was brought to Warren County, Illinois when quite small. there she was reared. She has five children by her former husband: Ella (now Mrs. Joseph Ely, of this county), Mary, Rolly, Chester and Grace.

Excerpts from "David Rankin, Farmer" by David Rankin (1825-1910) Published 1909, Tarkio, Missouri

Contributed by Elizabeth Richardson

[David Rankin spent most of his young adult life in Henderson County and was still enumerated on the 1880 census there, although by that time his farming interests had expanded to Missouri, Nebraska and Colorado. At the time he published his story his various land and stock holdings were valued in excess of $4 million.]

. . . and then moved out to Warren county, Illinois (now Henderson county), in March, 1836. We were about a month going from Indiana to Illinois, traveling every day. The trip was made overland with teams, a distance of about 250 miles. The horses would get stuck in the mud and, had it not been for the oxen we had along, and the oxen of our neighbors who were moving with us, we could not have finished our journey on account of the mud. There were no fences in the country and the houses were twenty to thirty miles apart. There were no bridges and we had to ford the streams. At the time there were only a few houses in Bloomington and Peoria. We had to cross the Illinois river at Peoria in a flatboat. Having to wait out turn, it took us two days to get across. This was about the only chance I ever had to go fishing.

We had no matches in those days and had to make a fire with the flintrock. I remember also seeing father start a fire with a little hand grain sickle, by putting powder on a Dutch oven lid and striking the lid with the sickle, using tow to catch fire from the powder. I have carried fire a mile from neighbor's when our fire was out at home. I was sixteen years old before I saw a match. It seems strange now to think that there ever was a time when there was no matches, now when you can buy enough matches for a nickel to last the ordinary family a month, and some careful and savings ones possible two or three months. . . .

My father built and operated a saw mill in Henderson county, Illinois, in 1837, and all of us children were drafted for work at the mill. As my father, being in poor health, was able to make only small profit from his mill, we had only clothing made of homespun cloth from the raw wool and flax. I was brought up in poverty and privation.

The only schools we had in those days were little subscription schools, held in log houses, with windows of greased paper. We had only greased paper windows in my home. The principal studies taught us were the three R's: Reading, 'Riting, and 'Rithmetic. I had very limited opportunity to get these prime essentials of an education. I expect the hard way in which I got them made them more beneficial to me than if I had had the easier facilities of learning that the boys of today have. I quit school at the age of eleven years and went to work to help support the family. Living in those days was on a different basis entirely from the life of today. A good education was not looked upon as so essential as now. Shoes were plentiful, but cash was so scarce that the common people could little more than afford shoes for the cold weather, for we had no money with which to buy them, and the most of them were home made. I went barefooted every summer until I was 28 years of age. The plain way of living which we practiced in those days gave people a much stronger constitution than the strenuous living of today.

About 1840, in order to pay a store debt for father, I hauled dressed hogs to Oquawka, Illinois, on the Mississippi river, and sold them at $1.00 to $1.25 a hundred. The corn these hogs were fattened on was cultivated with a single shovel plow and the ground plowed with a wooden mouldboard. With these plows you had to carry a paddle and clean the plow about every twenty rods. A good team of oxen would plow about an acre each day.

It is said that "good plowing" is the first thing necessary to good farm work, and I know that it is, but when I look back and see how crude our tools were and how poor the plowing was in those days, I wonder that we raised half as much as we did. Of course our land was new and rich, and we did not have so many weeds to fight. We had to do a great deal of hoe work in those days. They were great big hoes, one of them would weigh as much as four or five of the kind of steel hoes which we use now. Well, sir, it's might hard to appreciate what the steel plow has done for America, surely we never could have reached what we have accomplished in Agriculture without it. Farmers nowadays don't appreciate it, they can't, because they have never had to put up with the old kind of home-made tools. Why, some of our farmers are not too overindustrious with what we've got now.

. . . About 1844 the first plows of steel were made. These plows would scour. The first steel plow I ever heard of was at Farmington, Illinois, near Galesburg, made by hand. Shortly after that I learned that John Deere and others were making steel plows.

Father had got along pretty well, but when President Jackson vetoed the currency act, he lost all he had in the saw mill enterprise, because there was no money left in the country. He traded a filley and a cow for a quarter section of land in Henderson county. The filley and cow were valued at $50.00. A man and I went out on the prairies and put in an eighty acre crop of wheat. We had a little shanty and did our own cooking. There were lots of deer around there and they troubled us a great deal by pasturing on the wheat that winter. Land was very cheap. I knew of as good a quarter section as there was in Henderson county, or any other county, selling for $30.00 — not $30.00 an acre, but the whole 160 acres for $30.00 — and the man traded a yoke of oxen for it, as he had no money. This was four miles from where Biggsville is now located. The land had a fine spring on it and no waste land. By that time we were using cradles for cutting wheat instead of reap hooks. We had to haul our wheat about ten miles to the Mississippi river, and sold it for forty to fifty cents per bushel. We harvested some wheat at the time of the Mexican War, cutting it with the cradle, and we got fifty cents a bushel in silver — Mexican dollars.

In those days, when money was so scarce, a good deal of ingenuity was used in trading. It was barter and trade sure enough. One of our neighbors bought a horse and promised to pay the money for it, intending to pay for it out of his wheat. As he was able to get only one-fourth of it in cash, he was obliged to pay the rest in trade. There was a general merchant who kept, among other things, a line of hardware, and it happened that this man's neighbor wanted some hardware, so he let him have the hardware for the balance of the bill, and gave the other man the cash. In that way he paid for his horse.

While on this trip to Chicago [1847] I saw the first practical reaper. It was made by McCormick. In 1848 I bought one. I think I paid $125 for it. This machine would cut a swath about five feet wide. As I remember, the grain fell on a platform and was raked off by another man with a fork or a rake, requiring two men to run the machine, and men followed and tied the bundles by hand with straw bands. This was a great improvement over the old cradle, but is not to be compared at all with the modern self-binder.

. . . In 1849, by the use of this McCormick machine I was able to carry on the harvest without whiskey the first time. In those days if you didn't have whiskey you couldn't get hands to harvest. I have always said that McCormick made it possible for me to do my harvesting without liquor. Here is a case where an improved farm implement helped me in two ways — to reduce the cost of harvesting and to enable me to take a stand in defense of temperance. If a man has the courage to stand by his convictions he will get along. What a ridiculous thing for people to say "can't." My!My! No one ever amounted to anything morally, mentally, physically or financially that could not say yes and no, so everybody could understand just what was meant. Few men realize what McCormick has done for the wheat grower, and the same is true of other inventors. We do not appreciate what John Deere has done with the steel plow to lessen labor for the farmer, in fact, made plowing a pleasure. If anybody used a wooden mouldboard they know what it is to stop every few rods and scrape the dirt off so it will shove the land over.

When I married, in 1850, I had eighty acres of land and a few cattle. I had raised a crop of wheat on the land before I got a deed to it. All the money I had I invested in young steers. When I got married I had only $4.00 or $5.00 in cash. This I gave to the preacher — the last cent I had. We had to trade for everything. I could not get first-class flour without paying cash for it, so I had to buy second-class flour on credit. It was packed solid in the barrel and my wife scooped out a place in the flour in the top of the barrel, and in this improvised bowl made our bread. She had to make bread in this way from the 21st of March until cucumber time, when the old tinner brought the big tin dishpan, for which I had traded lumber that spring. Up to this time she washed her dishes in the stove kettle. We had a nice little three room house 16 x 24 feet, all made of native lumber. We bought the shingles that had been rafted down the Mississippi river from up north. fine lumber was sold for $10.00 per thousand — just as fine boards as you would want to look at — and common lumber of grub plank, for $5.50 per thousand feet. We made cribs of any kind of lumber, no matter how good it was. It was floated down the river on a raft and was very cheap. Even walnut lumber, which is being scraped up and shipped to Europe in such quantities now, from wherever they can find it only brought $10.00 per thousand then. In fact, most of our furniture was made from it, because it was a nice straight grained wood and worked up easily by hand as that was the way all the furniture was made.

Our trading points were at Oquawka, Illinois, and Burlington, Iowa, twelve miles from my farm to either place. There was a ferry boat at Burlington across the Mississippi river. We drove oxen and it would take a day and a night to drive to town and back.

At Burlington the houses were along the river. There were only a few of them then, but it afterwards got to be quite a fine city. The land on which it was located was a part of the Black Hawk purchase and just came onto the market about that time. Father had some brothers west of the Mississippi but he stayed on the east side and never went across. He was determined to stay among the religious people.

Walnut Grove Twp. pg. 320-321 Among the remarkably successful men of Illinois, none have achieved more signal success than the Hon. David Rankin, of Henderson county. He was born in 1826, In Sullivan county, Indiana, and when he was ten years of age, his parents removed to what is now Henderson county, then Warren. Here Mr. Rankin passed his early youth and manhood. At that time the educational advantages afforded by the schools were of a very primitive nature. Yet from the school of poverty with its teacher experience, young Rankin seems to have gained the practical wisdom that surpasses all mere book learning. Mr. Rankin began life for himself breaking prairie, buying his ox-teams on credit. Starting in this humble way, he planned to have eighty acres of land. Soon he earned this. Then an opportunity offered for him to buy two quarter-sections at $200 each. Soon after buying them the two farms increased rapidly in value. From that time Mr. Rankin began to buy land, and since that time has added to his lands, until he now has over 25,000 acres of land in Iowa,Missouri, and Illinois. In Missouri alone he has this year (1882) over 20,000 acres of corn. Annually on his farm he feeds from 500 to 600 head of cattle. In addition to this, Mr. Rankin has the controlling interest of 7,000 cattle in the North Platte range in Nebraska. He has done much in the way of improving horses and cattle, importing both from England and Scotland. Annually he breeds about 100 fine grades of Herefords. Both in acreage and value of produce Mr. Rankin's farms surpass the celebrated Dalrymple farm in the Red Rive wheat country. In 1881 he employed 180 men who worked teams, and in the spring he used sixty corn planters. Beginning with nothing, by the most untiring industry Mr. Rankin has accumulated property valued at $1,000,000. All this, too, has been made, not from speculaltion, but dug from the soil, and added to the country's wealth. Nor has he bought up farms from poorer men, but the most of his land has been purchased when waste and wild, and then made valuable by cultivation and improvement. Mr. Rankin is one of the few men who have made money but not enemies. Some of his men who have gained from their start in life have paid him the compliment of saying he "never did a hired man a wrong." In the fall of 1873 Mr. Rankin was elected to the state legislature, where he made so good a record as to lead to his being returned to the twenty-ninth general assembly, where he served as a useful member and conscientious legislator. On the 21st of March, 1850, Mr. Rankin was married to Miss Sarah Thompson, daughter of Adam and Jane Thompson. Mrs. Rankin died on December 28, 1878. Three of the six children born of this marriage are dead, namely, the two eldest, Elizabeth and Melinda, and the youngest, Joseph R.. Of the three living, Viola N. is now the wife of J. F. Hanna. Mr. Rankin's two sons, John A. and William F., are also married, the former to Miss Hattie Arms and the latter to Miss Elizabeth Marshall. On January 4, 1880, Mr. Rankin was married a second time, his wife's name having been Mrs. Elizabeth Gowdy. He now resides on his old farm in Walnut Grove township, where he has a most elegant home, which is richly furnished. Here Mr. Rankin spends his time when not away looking after his business interests, which are augmented by his duties both in the First National Bank of Monmouth, of which he is president, as well as in two private banks, in which he has the controlling interest. In spite of all his vast and varied duties, Mr. Rankin has kept his name unsullied and his reputation for strick honesty untarnished. There is no one who is a better example as to business life and principles for young men to follow than Mr. Rankin. System, method, order and industry, have been the secret of his success, and these will always win respect and confidence everywhere and will always retain them. Mr. Rankin may well be proud of his success and reputation, and Henderson county may well be proud to number Mr. Rankin as one of its citizens.

Friday, 17 Oct 1913--Horses and mules are not permitted to grow old on the Rankin farms. Every year a sale is held and at this sale every horse and every mule that has reached a respectable age is disposed of. The United States government has figured that a horse or a mule reaches the maximum of its usefulness at eight years, but the maximum is never reached on the Rankin farms. Practically every year the stables on the ten ranches are rehabilitated with practically an entirely fresh population of work animals, insuring the maximum of efficiency. At the last sale 357 horses and mules were sold and the proceeds of the sale netted more than $25,000. Buyers come from points hundreds of miles distant to Tarkio to attend these sales.

SILAS H. PRATHER

Silas H. PRATHER farmer and stock raiser, section 22, was born in Hillsboro, Highland county, Ohio, December 10, 1846. His father, John H. Prather, was a native of West Virginia and was of Scottish descent, while his mother, Catherine (Chaney) Prather, was born in Ohio and of Dutch extraction. They came to Ohio in an early day. Silas is the only child now living of a family of three children. His mother died when he was about two years of age. In 1856 he accompanied his father and step-mother to Montezuma, Poweshiek County, Iowa, where they remained some three years, then returning to Ohio. Young Prather spent his youth on a farm and obtained a fair education. When President Lincoln issued his first call for ninety-day men the subject of this sketch was among the first to respond. He enlisted in the One Hundredth and Fifty-eighth Ohio Infantry, Company F, and after serving his time he returned to Ohio and from there emigrated to Henderson City, Illinois. In 1864 he again enlisted in the Fifty-eighth Illinois Infantry, Company G., and served until the close of the war. He enlisted as a private and rose to first-duty sergeant, serving mostly on detached service, principally in the quartermaster's office. He remained some time at Montgomery, Alabama, and at the close of the war he settled in Henderson County, Illinois, and a short time after went to Winterset, Iowa in the fall of 1866, where he remained three years occupied in farming. In 1869 he went to Texas, was interested for two years in the cattle business and in the fall of 1870 he moved to Henry County, Missouri. There he lived five years engaged in farming. In 1875 he settled in Warren County, Illinois and became associated with David Rankin in farming. He owns a third interest with Mr. Rankin in 7,600 acres of land and they are largely interested in stock raising. Mr. Prather superintends the farm. He is a sterling business man. Commencing life a poor boy, he was early deprived of the care of a mother and was thrown upon his own resources. He has worked his way steadily upward by honesty, industry and attention to business. Politically he is a staunch Republican. Mr. P. was married December 20, 1870 to Miss Emma Rankin, youngest sister of David Rankin. She is a native of Illinois and was born December 17, 1845. She died March 15, 1881, leaving three children: Nettie Bell, born Dec 10, 1871; Homer Dee, born Dec 1, 1873, and Harry Rankin, born Mar 4, 1875. Mr. Prather is a member of the M. E. Church of Tarkio, in which he holds the position of steward. He is also a strong temperance man.

JOHN A. RANKIN (page 926 & 927) John A. RANKIN Farmer and banker, at Tarkio, is a prominent man of this county. He is the eldest son and second child in a family of three, who were children of David and Sarah Rankin. He was born Nov. 21, 1856 near Biggsville, Henderson Co., Illinois. He was reared at his birth place, and passed his youthful days on the farm, receiving a preparatory education in the neighborhood schools. In 1873, he entered Monmouth College, from which institution he graduated in 1877. When not in school he assisted his father in the stock business, and also in the bank. He remained some time in the First National Bank of Monmouth, Illinois, and made his first trip west to Atchison Co., MO, during vacation in 1876. In the fall of 1877, he went to Cheyenne, remaining about two months, then returned home and the following winter he came to Atchison Co., where he became engaged in farming and stock raising. During the summer of 1880, he erected his present handsome residence, on the western outskirts of the town of Tarkio, also a good barn. His farm contains 400 acres of choice land and is said to be one of the finest pieces of land in Atchison County. From his residence he has a good view of the surrounding country. He also owns a farm of 840 acres near Westboro. His land is all well improved, he has some fine stock, and is also interested in banking. He was the first to sell lots in Tarkio. Politically, he is a staunch Republican. He has inherited some of the vim and energy of his father, and is a stirring business man. He is not addicted to the use of strong drink, and never tasted a drop of liquor in his life, although having been associated with those who did drink. Mr. R. was married June 9, 1879 to Miss Hattie Arms, daughter of J. D. and Harriet Arms of Monmouth, Illinois. She was born in Monmouth, Illinois, Dec. 18, 1856.

WILLIAM F. RANKIN (page 927 & 928) William F. RANKIN Farmer and stock raiser, section 9, the subject of this sketch was born Jan 1, 1860 near Biggsville, Henderson Co. Illinois, and is the youngest child of David and Sarah Rankin. He was reared to manhood at his birthplace, on the farm, and after receiving a preparatory education in the common schools he attended Monmouth College, finishing his education at Eastmans Business College, Poukeepsie, New York. From this institution he was graduated Dec 22, 1880. He drove a four-horse plow when only ten years of age, then being so small as to be compelled to stand on a nail keg to harness his horses.
