Baskin & Co. Historical Publishers, Chicago, 1882. LEVI DICK, farmer; P. O., Chandlerville; was born in Kentucky, Feb. l7, 1815, and is a son of Peter and Christiana (Shutt) Dick. Mr. Peter Dick was born in North Carolina, and emigrated to Sangamon County, Ill., with his family, as early as 1829, and in the following year settled in Cass County, upon the dreaded bottoms of the Sangamon; for in an early day the bottom lands were considered the most sickly, pestilential, and ague-shaking of all the country in this section of the State. The subject of our sketch remained with his parents until he was twenty-three years of age; for he was a dutiful and obedient son, and did not desert his home and parents for two years after he arrived at his majority; he then left home to engage in business for himself, for he always cherished an inborn desire to do and to make for himself that which might be called his own, and by a rigid system of economy and untiring industry, he accumulated a handsome property, and has an enviable reputation as a farmer and a man of business integrity. He now has a comfortable home and a finely improved farm of 380 acres. In 1839 he married Miss Emmatere Leeper, who was born in 1815, and died in 1853, leaving three children as the result of their union, viz.: Amos, Robert and Martha. In 1854 he was a second time married, to Ann Morgan, a native of Cass County, and born in 1830; she is the mother of two children, Cordelia and George. Mr. Dick, politically, holds to the principles of the Democratic party. He has never aspired to official promotions, believing it to be more becoming and consistent to attend to the duties of his farm and family, than to enter the political ring and clamor for office. Mr. Dick has made many friends, and is widely known as, morally and socially, an estimable man. SCKY Links: http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/Gorin.html GGP: http://ggpublishing.tripod.com/

Sandi 10733 MONTGOMERY CO - JOHN DAVIS - Davis, Kidd, Fleece, Vanscoy, Zimmerman #10733: Portrait and Biographical Records of Jasper, Marshall and Grundy Counties, Iowa, Chicago: Biographical Pub. Co., 1894. Montgomery Co KY. John Davis, who resides on section 9, Buena Vista Township, is one of the honored pioneers of Jasper County. As he has witnessed the growth and development of the county for many years, and has borne his part in its upbuilding, he well deserves representation in this volume, and it is with pleasure that we present his sketch to our readers. A native of Kentucky, Mr. Davis was born in Montgomery County, July 7, 1820, and is a son of Nathan and Nancy (Kidd) Davis, the former a native of Kentucky, and the latter of Virginia. The Davis family is of Welsh origin, and the father was a soldier in the War of 1812. He removed with his family to Montgomery County, Ind., becoming one of its early settlers. John was there reared to manhood and experienced the usual hardships and trials of life on the frontier. His education was acquired in a log schoolhouse, with its slab seats, puncheon floor, huge fireplace and other rude furnishings. The advantages of that day were not equal to those of the present, but through life he has been a great reader, and as he possesses a retentive memory he has made himself a well informed man. The occupation to which he was reared has been his life work and we recognize in him a practical and progressive farmer. Mr. Davis was married in Indiana in September, 1844, to Miss Elizabeth Fleece, a native of Kentucky, who went to the Hoosier State with her parents and there grew to womanhood. By their union were born three children, two of whom are yet living: Mary C., wife of Milton Vanscoy; and Benjamin. George W. is deceased. After the death of his first wife, Mr. Davis was again married, in 1854, his second union being with Mary Zimmerman, who was also born in Kentucky. They became the parents of ten children, seven of whom are now living: Henry C.; Uriah, Trustee of Buena Vista Township; Nancy J., Josephine, Anthony, Antoinetta and Charles. Isabella, Ulysses S. and Robert F. are now deceased. In 1854, Mr. Davis came to Jasper County, Iowa, and settled upon his present farm, but in its condition at that time it bore little resemblance to the highly improved and valuable place of to-day. Mr. Davis at one time owned three hundred and eighty-five acres of land, but he has given a considerable portion to his children and now owns one hundred and twenty-eight acres. He is a self-made man and in his business dealings has been very successful. Walnut Grove Farm, which he now owns, is one of the most desirable places of the community and in connection with its cultivation he engages to some extent in raising stock. He possesses good business ability, and his well directed efforts have brought him a handsome competence. In religious belief Mr. Davis is a Methodist, and in political sentiment he is a stanch Republican. His wife, too, was a faithful member of the Methodist Church. She passed away January 19, 1892, amid the deep regret of a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, who esteemed her highly for her many excellencies of character. This community has ever found in our subject a valued citizen, who manifests a commendable interest in everything pertaining to the general welfare. Honorable and upright in all things, alike true to public and private trusts, he has the confidence and good wishes of all who know him, and is respected by young and old, rich and poor.

J. Clarke Publishing Co., Chicago-Louisville, 1928. Jefferson Co. EUSEBIUS THEODORE HUTCHINS. Architecture is the most useful of the fine arts. Its essential qualities are permanence, utility and beauty. Inherited tendency and natural predilection inclined Eusebius Theodore Hutchings toward this profession and many of Louisville's imposing buildings exemplify his creative powers and artistic skill. He was born in this city on the 19th of March, 1886, and is one of the four children of John Bacon and Lena (Schwartz) Hutchings. The others are John Bacon, Jr., who lives in Asheville, North Carolina; Carolyn, the wife of W. Street Russel, of Frankfort, Kentucky and Anne, now Mrs. Monroe Bush of this city. The parents were born in Louisville and for many years the father was one of the leading architects. He responded to the final summons January 17, 1917, and is survived by the mother. E. T. Hutchings completed a course in the manual training high school of Louisville and for two years attended the University of Kentucky. For four years he studied architecture at Cornell University, leaving there in 1909, and for further training went abroad. For eight months he remained in Europe, studying in Hanover and other cities of importance, and on his return to Louisville embarked in the practice of his profession in association with his father and brother under the firm style of John B. Hutchings & Sons. He was thus engaged until September 7, 1917, when his patriotic spirit prompted him to offer his aid to the nation in its hour of need and he was commissioned a captain of engineers. He was called upon for active duty December 28, 1917, and first reported at Camp Lee, Petersburg, Virginia. He was sent to Washington, D. C., February 28, 1918, on detached service as supervising constructing quartermaster and had charge of the building of eleven cantonments for the government. Subsequently he was reassigned to duty with the engineers corps and ordered overseas. He sailed from Hoboken, New Jersey, July 15, 1918, and landed at Liverpool, England, July 31. Later he went to Cherbourg, France, and was next stationed at Tours with the division of construction and forestry. In October, 1918, he was placed in charge of the construction work on the SAVEAY Hospital and was engaged in that task until February 22, 1919, when he was ordered to return to the United States. He was honorably discharged at Washington, D. C., on the 11th of March and eight days later opened an office in Louisville, where he has since practiced under his own name. He has back of him the ideals of old world architecture and possesses the resourcefulness which enables him to meet the demands of the new. He has established an enviable clientele and may well be proud of his work, which has won for him the favorable attention of the general public and of those able to judge its merits from technical and artistic standpoints. Mr. Hutchings was married June 6, 1912; to Miss Heloise Kennedy Bullitt, a daughter of C. Malcolm and Heloise (Kennedy) Bullitt, prominent residents of Louisville, whose family numbered four children. Mr. and Mrs. Hutchings have become the parents of two daughters: Heloise Bullitt, who was born April 19, 1913; and Lena Dorthea, born August 11, 1920. Mr. Hutchings is affiliated with the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian church and his political views are in accord with the tenets of the republican party. He belongs to the State Historical Society, the Kentucky Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, the Military Order of the World War and Jefferson Post of the American Legion. He has membership with the Falls City Lodge of Masons, the Kappa Sigma fraternity and the Gargoyles, and is connected with the Sleepy Hollow, Wranglers, Pendennis, Louisville Country, Quindecium, Automobile, Gun and Rotary Clubs. He is also a member of the American Institute of Architects and the American Society of Military Engineers. He holds the rank of major of Engineers, O. R. C. A deep student and a tireless worker, Mr. Hutchings has advanced far beyond the ranks of mediocrity, taking his place among the successful few, and measures up to the full stature of American manhood and citizenship.
