He was born in Durham Township, November 29, 1884, a son of Americus and Frances (Nichols) Eckles, born in Hancock County. The paternal* grandfather, Joseph Nichols, was one of the very early settlers of this neighborhood. After their marriage, the parents settled in Durham Township, but later retired and now make their home at La Harpe. Marion Calvin Eckles attended the district schools, Gittings Seminary of La Harpe, and one term at the Peoria Business College, following which he remained with his parents until he attained his majority. At that time, he entered the Farmers State Exchange Bank, at Dallas City, Ill. and remained for a time, leaving it to go on a farm his father owned in La Harpe Township, conducted that for eight years. He then moved to the homestead of over 300 acres, in Durham Township, where hs ie now carrying on general farming, and raising horses, cattle and hogs. On February 28, 1919, Mr. Eckles was married at La Harpe, to Millie M. Bushnell, born at Blandinsville, Ill., Oct. 24, 1889, a daughter of Henry and Laura Bushnell. Mr. and Mrs. Eckles have had three children, namely: Francis, born December 15, 1911; Laura, born October 1, 1916; and Marion, who died March 2, 1918. In politics he is a Democrat. He is a notary public. A man of ability, he has turned his talents toward agriculture with very gratifying results, and just at present his efforts are especially valuable, for every man who has engaged in raising foodstuffs as he has, has done much for his country in her day of peril. - Pg 1191 - Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois & History of Hancock County, Vol. II, by Charles J.

Eckles is the owner of a fine farming property comprising three hundred and eight-seven acres in Durham township on section 13, and he also has eighty acres on section 7, La Harpe township, together with five acres of timber in the latter township. Starting out in life on his own account at the age of fourteen years, and providing to a considerable extent for his mother and sisters, he certainly deserves much credit for the success he has achieved and his life record should serve as a source of inspiration to others, proving what may be accomplished through perserverance and close adherence to the rules which govern unfaltering diligence and unswerving integrity. A native of Adams county, Illinois, he was born in 1853, and is a son of Samuel and Diana (Hopson) Eckles, the former a native of Virginia and the latter of Ohio. Both were married twice. The father was a carpenter by trade and removed to Illinois in 1851, becoming a resident of Durham township, Hancock county, in the fall of 1854. He lived the life of an honest, upright and enterprising farmer, was loyal to the best interests of the community and gave his political support to the democracy. He died in 1876, while the mother of our subject passed away in 1872.* Both were interred in Durham cemetery. After losing her first husband the mother became the wife of Samuel Eckles. Unto Samuel and Diana Eckles were born six children: C.A.; Emma C., who died at the age of eleven years; Narcissa B., deceased wife of Horace Dodd, who has also passed away; Johanna, the wife of Isaac G. Kilgore, of La Harpe; Ella, the wife of John Kilgore of Nebraska; and Mahala, the wife of Cha! rles Cambron, living in Lacrosse, Illinois. C.A. Eckles was only about a year old when his parents removed from Adams county to Durham township and here in the public schools he was educated. He lost his father when fourteen years of age and remained with his mother, assisting her in the work of the farm, until twenty-six years of age, when he went to Colorado, working in the Leadville mines for two years. Following his marriage he settled on the old homestead in Durham township and lived in the old house until 1902, when he erected an elegant country home, supplied with all modern improvements and conveniences. He has also built fine barns and sheds, has built fences and put up windmills and is now the owner of one of the model farms of the county, comprising three hundred and eight-seven acres on section 13, Durham township, and eighty acres on section 7, La Harpe township, in addition to which he owns a five-acre timber tract. He is a general farmer and also raises considerable stock, his farming interests bei! ng so carefully, systematically and admirably managed that he seems to have realized the utmost possibility for successful accomplishment. In 1882, Mr. Eckles was married to Miss Frances B. Nichols, who was born in La Harpe township, in 1859, a daughter of Joseph and Thirza (Murdock) Nichols, both of whom were natives of Pennsylvania and came to Hancock county in 1852, the father settling on a farm in La Harpe township, where he became an extensive dealer in stock. Both he and his wife have now passed away. Of their seven children, only two are living: Mrs. Eckles; and Ida, wife of David R. Sights, of La Harpe township. Mr. and Mrs. Eckles had four children: Amy, Ada and Marion, all at home; and Inez, who died at the age of two years. Mr. and Mrs. Eckles are members of the Methodist Protestant church and he belongs to the Durham Lodge of Woodmen and to the La Harpe Lodge of Odd Fellows, in which he has passed all the chairs. In politics he is a democrat and has served for two terms as supervisor of Durham township, also as highway commissioner and as a member of the school board. His fellow townsmen have also given other evidences of their confidence in him and he is in every way worthy of their trust. - Publication unknown. * These death dates are not accurate. Samuel died in 1868 [not 1876], and Diana died in 1885 [not 1872]. Estimated publication date: 1898-1910 After May 1898 - Horace Dodd's death Before 28 Feb 1910 - Marion's marriage.

Hi, I obtained a copy of the 1839 plat of Kimball's addition to Nauvoo, and would like to ask if anyone can tell me (perhaps privately off the list), a little more about the location of Lot 57, which on the plat appears to be along, on the north side of, State Street, which angles off of Commerce street. Thomas H. Owen sold this lot in 1847. It appears that the street names have all changed. The deed says the lot commences on the center of Ripley street on the west side of said lot (apparently this was the north/south street on the west side of the lot). Is there a way to determine where this is, in relation to the downtown area, Mormon temple, etc.? Robert

This is another question about Nauvoo. Does anyone have a listing of people that were living in Nauvoo in the mid-1830's? I believe that my gr-grandfather was born on 4 Aug 1835. His birthplace has never been determined, but his father, Thomas, and his wife, Elizabeth, may have been in Nauvoo when Mason was born. Prior to that the family was in DeWitt Co., IL.

Hello, I am wondering if someone on the list knows if the burials for the Harmony Township Cemetery are complete. Pamela (Mauk) Jenkins and her husband should be buried there. Her obituary in 1927 gives this as her burial spot. Is there anyone who can be contacted regarding burials in this cemetery? Thanks Nancy Willis Searching Mauk, Willis from Kentucky, Jenkins & connected families

Robert, I have seen cemetery indexes in many states that were done by the WPA. Also, in Oklahoma, the WPA began an oral history program of early settlers in the state. Judy Oklahoma City

I forgot: In 1929 and 1956 the state of Illinois collected info on the veteran's buried in each cemetery. That info can be found in the Honor Rolls.

Robert, My grandfather did a section in Schuyler County but he never surveyed the people buried in the cemeteries. Mostly it was field size with crop grown there, woods with type of trees, pastures, creek and streams. Also where homes, barns, buildings, churches and cemeteries were located.

Greetings, friends, Just wondered if anyone on the county forum has ever checked into what type of records were produced by the WPA Surveys done back in the 1930's or 40's. I understand they often surveyed cemeteries and made a record of graves of veterans. From the Illinois Secretary of State website it appears they have Illinois's records done by the Work Project Administration, and maybe also the U. S. Surveyor General's records for Illinois. Has anyone on here checked any of these records before? Robert Webb

Hi Robert,I've enjoyed your updates about the good work you are doing at Old Brick <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />Cemetery. This evening is the first time I've seen a name possibly connected to my family. Where can I learn more about the TOLMANs buried there? Thanks for any help.DebbyDebby, Elizabeth Tolman, wife of Osse Tolman, and two daughters, at least, are buried at Old Brick. Information from their stones is shown below. We don't know whether Osse Tolman, or any of their other children are buried here or not. If you do, please tell me. I don't know what Elizabeth's maiden name was. TOLMAN, Mary J.

Thanks, Donna, I've been trying to get the stones reset this summer, and have finished several in the past couple weeks, but one of these days I will just report that we have them all done, I hope. I plan to check with some of the Harmony township people (I know who a few of them are) to see if they have records of any graves or stones being moved away from Old Brick to cemeteries in their township, since Old Brick is so close to the Harmony township line. I came by the Langley (now Rea) farm last night but no one was there. I drove along the road but can't see the Langley stones from the road, but have an idea about where they area. I didn't notice any livestock, so maybe it will be safe to walk in there.

Hi, Does anyone know whether there have been any burials in the Holland Cemetery, in Harmony township, in recent years? And does anyone know who might have the records for that cemetery? I should have asked first at the Hancock County Historical Society, but maybe someone on this forum knows. I mortared in the Purley Jones stone today, and the second and third bases to the primary base for the Tolman stone, at Old Brick. More of the old fence has been removed, and the crops adjacent have been harvested, so fence work may be done anytime now. The deer (or some animal) must be hungry - they ate part of the vinyl flower holders. Thanks, Robert
