Surnames: Severns Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wg.2ADE/1535 Message Board Post: Severns, Horace H. - Morris is the home of a number of retired farmers who have selected the County Seat as a place of residence because they fully realize the advantages accruing from being connected with a place of this class. Here, amid urban surroundings, they can enjoy the comforts their former industry has produced. One of these substantial ex-agriculturalists of Grundy County is Horace H. Severns, born in Wauponsee Township, February 5, 1854, a son of Horace H. and Mary A. (Ader) Severns, natives of New York State and Germany, respectively. She came with her parents to the vicinity of Chicago, and later to Grundy County, arriving here in 1850. Mr. Severns came to this section about that date, and they met and married, settling at Morris. This city was their home for about four years, when they moved to Wauponsee Township. While living at Morris he had been foreman on the canal, but he bought a farm in Wauponsee Township and died upon it, in 1867. His widow resides at! Aurora, Ill., with her twin sister, the two having been born in 1832. Horace H. Severns, Jr., lived at home until his marriage, having attended the local school, and assisted his father. After his marriage he moved to a farm of 120 acres in Wauponsee Township that he had bought, and operated it until the spring of 1910, when he rented his farm and moved to Morris. Mr. Severns bought what was Grace Park, now named Morris Amusement Pavilion, and is engaged in conducting it. On December 21, 1880, Mr. Severns was united in marriage with Laura A. Lattimer, born in Grundy County, daughter of Silas and Mary (Schroyer) Lattimer, who were farming people in Grundy County. Mr. Lattimer died in 1898, but his widow survives, living at Nickerson, Kas., aged eighty-three years. Mr. and Mrs. Severns are the parents of the following children: Lottie A., who married William Alfred Thomas, a real estate dealer of Morris; Otto K., who is of Morris; and Altha M., who is at home. Mr. Severns is a Republican and served as a School Director for twelve years, Highwa! y Commissioner for twelve years, and for six years was Supervisor. He belongs to the Modern Woodmen of America and the Odd Fellows. Source: History of Grundy County, Illinois, 1914, page 898-899

Surnames: Reardon Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wg.2ADE/1534 Message Board Post: REARDON, William — Grundy County has always been proud of its veterans and anxious to show them distinguished honors when opportunity offered. This section sent its full quota to help in the defense of the Union in its time of dire distress and now it recognizes the fact that its prestige in this regard was given it by the bravery and patriotism of the “Boys in Blue” who left their homes and went to the dangerous front in the early sixties. One of these old soldiers of Grundy County, now residing in Morris, is Captain William Reardon. He was born near Malone, Franklin County, N. Y., August 4th, 1837, a son of William and Catherine (Curtin) Reardon, natives of County Cork, Ireland. The parents came to these shores in early youth and were married here. The father was a farmer, living in the neighborhood of Malone, and he continued there until 1850, when he started West, making the trip by rail to Ogdensburg, from there by boat on the St. Lawrence river ! to Lewiston, and continuing on to Buffalo. He then journeyed, by rail, and on the Great Lakes, to Chicago; and, on reaching this western city, he left almost immediately and walked the entire distance to Grundy County. The following spring, in 1851, he sent for his family, and met them on their arrival in Chicago. They had brought with them a team of horses (French brood mares), and the family proceeded by wagon to Morris and finally settled in the Collins neighborhood. In July of the ensuing year, Mrs. Reardon died. Mr. Reardon, Sr., bought a small farm in the northern part of the county, and continued to make it his home until his death in 1873. William Reardon, Jr., not only attended the rural public school, but enjoyed the further advantages of a commercial course in Bryant and Stratton’s Business College, in Chicago, and graduated there 1858. Prior to taking this course of instruction, he had worked on the home farm continuously. On finishing school, he entered the employ of J. and H. Benjamin as salesman and bookkeeper in their mercantile house and here he was until July, 1862, when, on the nation’s call for volunteers, he enlisted for service in the defense of the Union. He was among those who went directly to Kankakee, Ill., where a regiment was being organized. It was found in Kankakee that the men who had come with Mr. Reardon were not sufficient in number to form an entire company, so Mr. Reardon went back home and soon returned with the required number of new men. When the officers for the company were elected, Mr. Reardon was chosen the first lieutenant. C. C. Jones, who had been with Sher! man’s men in the Pioneer Corps, until it was disbanded, was given the rank of captain and, when the regiment was assigned its proper place he was placed in command of Company C, Seventy-sixth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, which was the company to which Mr. Reardon belonged. The regiment was sent to Cairo and from thence to Columbus, Ky., where they were under the command of General Grant. Mr. Reardon was at the siege of Vicksburg, and after sixty-one days of hardship there was sent to Jackson, Miss., where the regiment participated in a big fight. Mr. Reardon was promoted to the rank of captain after the siege of Vicksburg, succeeding Captain Jones who was promoted to lieutenant colonel. On account of sickness he was sent home on a furlough and was honorably discharged December 4, 1864, for disability. Mr. Reardon then embarked in a grocery business with his brothers, James and John Collins, the connection continuing until 1869, when Mr. Reardon moved to a farm in Nettle Creek Township, and began specializing in raising registered Shorthorn cattle, becoming so successful in this line of endeavor that he was made vice-president of the Shorthorn Cattle Dealers Association. He also raised all kinds at high grade stock, and was one of the leading stockmen of Grundy County. On September 20, 1865, Mr. Reardon married Charlotte Hoge, born in Nettle Creek Township, October 8, 1841, daughter of Samuel and Matilda (Holderman) Hoge, natives of Virginia and Ohio. The family came to Grundy County at an early day. Mr. and Mrs. Hoge were married in this county, and settled along the present route of the canal. Mr. and Mrs. Reardon became the parents of children as follows: Elmer, who died at the age of two years and seven months; Abbie M., who died at the age of eleven and one-half years; Clarence H., who lives in Kansas City. Mo., and married May Thomas and they have one child, Grace; William H., who is on the home farm, married Miss Clara Heacox, a native of Grundy County; and Dora Virginia, who is Mrs. H. H. Quigley of Chicago, and they have three children, Elizabeth, Catherine and Donald. Mrs. Reardon died October 30, 1912. He is one of the most enthusiastic comrades of Darveau Post No. 329, G. A. R.

Funeral services will be conducted in a funeral home at Cullom Friday at 1:30 p.m. Mr. Root was preceded in death by his wife five years ago. Surviving are the daughter and a son Paul Root, of Chicago. He was an uncle of Robert White of Morris. "Morris Daily Herald", Wed, March 3, 1915 Gardner. A. W. Root resident of this city for several years passed away at his home here last evening. The cause of death was paralysis from which the deceased had suffered for nearly two years. He is survived by his wife and two sons, Claude of South Bend, Ind, and F. L. of Gardner, cashier of the First National Bank. "Morris Daily Herald", Wed. June 3, 1931 Mrs. A. W. Root, who was 94 years old last December 16 died this morning in her home in Gardner following a stroke which she suffered last Thursday. Up to that time, despite her advanced years, Mrs. Root, who was familiarly called "Nancy" Root, was able to be about her home daily take care of her meals and do most of the light household work. She was a resident of Grundy county for a great many years, and she and her husband occupied a farm east of Gardner. They moved to the village where her husband died several years ago following a stroke which left him helpless for a long time. She leaves two sons Florian L. Root who was a Gardner banker now of Kewanna, Ind. and Claude of Chicago. Funeral arrangements have not been made. I didn't find any obituary for Carrie Root or for Paul Root. I am assuming that the Illinois Marriage Index referring to Alberno Root who married Nancy Bates 16 Dec 1860 in DeKalb Co, IL is Albern. In the 1870 census of Greenfield Twp, Grundy Co, Florian is referred to as Flora M., age 5, female. By the 1880, he is Florian & working on the farm & is a son. In 1900 he is in the village of Gardner, Greenfield Twp & is a bookkeeper. The daughter was born after the 1900 census was taken. I did not look at the 1910 census. Lea
