He afterwards made a claim and put up a cabin about three miles northeast of Lyndon, and there followed the occupation of a farmer for thirty years. The cabin in due time gave way to a fine residence, and the open prairie to well tilled, fruitful fields. During the time he was upon this farm he was elected Treasurer of Whiteside county, and discharged the duties of that important office ably and acceptably for eight years. In 1875 he moved to Lyndon, and embarked in the mercantile business, in connection with his sons. He is one of the staunch pioneers of Whiteside county. ----- Original Message ----- From: <johns2rt@hotmail.com> To: <ILWHITES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 19, 2004 8:45 AM Subject: [ILWHITES] Re: DAVID HAZARD > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: CHAMBERS, HAZARD > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Zh.2ADE/1536.1.1 > > Message Board Post: > > I am researching one Elisha HAZARD, b. ca. 1862 in Whiteside Co., IL, s/o Herman and Mary HAZARD of Lyndon, Whiteside Co., IL, who married Minnie CHAMBERS in 1882 in Dade Co., MO.
