Twelve years has John H. Row been numbered among the leading citizens of Brookston, of which place he served for two terms as a member of the board of trustees. In political affairs he takes his stand on the platform of the Democratic party, an socially he is a Mason, being identified with Brookston Lodge, No 66, F. & A M., and Lafayette Chapter No. 3, Royal Arch Mason. For many years he has been honored with the office of deacon in the Baptist church of this place, and both he and his wife are valued members of the denomination.

Our subject's grandfather, William Row, was born in Scotland, and in early manhood came to America, settling in Ohio, where he devoted himself to farming until his death, a few years later. He had married a Miss Harrison, an own cousin of William Henry Harrison, and she after death became the wife of a Mr. Bell. The maternal grandfather of our subject was Jarrett Ford, a native of Virginia and of Irich ancestry. At an early day he removed to Kentucky, where he acquired wealth and large landed possessions. He reared six sons and seven daughters, and lived, hale and hearty, until nearly eighty-nine years of age. Townsend D. Row, father of John H., was born in the Buckeye state, and for years he was a respected farmer of Henry county, Kentucky, whence, in June of 1863, he came to this county, settling on a quarter section of land in Prairie township, near Badger Grove. He sold half of his farn subsequently, and continued to dwell on the remainder until death claimed him, in 1876, when he was seventy-fourth year. His wife, Margaret Ann (Ford) Row, a native of Henry county, Kentucky, had died over a score of years previously, in 1853, when about forty-eight years old. Both were Methodists in religious faith. Only four of their three sons and nine daughters are noe living, namely: John H.; Josephine, wife of Albert Herst; Emeline, widow of T.M. Ford; and Jane, widow of Saul Colvin,- all residents of Brookston.

The birth of John H. Row took place on the parental homestead in Henry county, Kentucky, October 10 1829. In his youth he learned every department of farm work and concluded to make agriculture and stock-raising his main occupations. Until he attained his majority he gavehis time to his father, and then he rented a farm for one year and managed toe property successfully. Such education as had fallen to his share was gained in the old-style subscription schools of his boyhood, and with this foundation he became well informed along practical lines. On March 22, 1864, he came to White county, and has since made his home here, with the intention of being a permanent resident.

On the 26th of December, 1852, Mr. Row married Elizabeth White, a daughter of Joel and Jennie (Ford) White. Six children were born to Mr and Mrs. Row, namely: Evander, Nora, Granville, Mary, Margaret, and one who died in infancy. Mary, the only survivor, is the wife of Charles Van Voorst, of Chalmers, and they have three children,- Goldie, Mabel and Gilbert. Mrs Elizabeth Row, who had been a devout Baptist from early life, died at her home, in February, 1885.

The present wife of John H. Row was Mrs. Susan M. (Stewart) Stewart, widow of William Allen Stewart, and daughter of John and Susan (Chilton) Stewart, natives of Virginia. The parents were both reared in Kentucky,whither they were taken when young. John Stewart was a pioneer in Tippecanoe county, Indiana, and as a farmer and stock-raiser was very successful, owning twenty-four hundred acres of land at the time of his death. His father was Allen Stewart, of Virginia, and of Irish extraction. The father of Mrs. Susan (Clinton) Stewart was George Chilton, also a native of the Old Dominion, and of german descent. He was a Freemason, and had the privilege of voting for Washington as president. At the time of his death he was about "four score years and ten." The marriage of our subject and wife was solemized February 16, 1886. Mrs Row had one child by her first union, - little Nora, who died when eight years of age.

Mr. John H. Rowe, one of the old settlers of Prairie township, died at his home in Brookston Tuesday of last week. He had been a resident of Prairie township since 1864, coming here from Kentucky. He was a prominent Mason and also an active member of the Baptist church. His funeral took place Thursday, Rev. J.G. Tedford of Fairmount, Ill conducting the service.

Annie has a small tombstone in the Brookston Cemetery. The plot was owned by a Leroy Ford and his family. I was told by Barbara Gagnon that Olive (Ford) Howerda says that when Annie died, Ben and Hattie didn't have money to buy a plot to bury Annie, so cousin Leroy Ford allowed her body to buried in his family's plot in Brookston. Her stone is right next to Leroy's family stone and is inside of the stones that surround the family plot.
