In November, 1826, Abraham Lemaster and his son-in-law, Charles Hatfield,
crossed the Illinois, at Beard's
Ferry, and traveled in a northeasterly direction to what is now
Bainbridge township, halting at Willis
O'Neal's vacant cabin, in which the two families took up winter quarters.
James B. Atwood, was then the
only family residing in the northern or central part of the township, the
others having moved away as above
stated, and McKee being absent. In the spring Lemaster purchased McKee's
improvements on section 20, and
raised a crop, but was compelled to leave there on account of the
millions of mosquitoes. He lived for a
few years upon the prairies and again returned to his place. About 1846,
he went to Kentucky on a visit,
and while there died. His wife died in the township. His descendents are
still living in the county. Mr.
Hatfield first located on the prairie north of Rushville, where he lived
about five years, and then moved
into Bainbridge, where he has ever since continued to reside. His house
is on section 20, and he and his
wife are still happy together, having lived a wedded life for nearly
sixty years. Hugh E., his son and his
daughter, the wife of John Dodds, are living in the county.
The first school in Woodstock Township was taught by John Taylor in 1827.
The first school in the northern
part of the township was taught by Charles Hatfield, in 1833, in a house
built that fall of elm poles in an
elm grove near Joshua Griffith's. The pupils and teacher mixed the mud on
the floor of the school house,
after school began, with which they daubed the house at recesses and
noon. Pupils in attendance were
William T. and Isaac Black, children of Richard Black; Sarah and Rebecca,
children of Jacob Fowler; Houston
and Elihu, children of Allen Alexander; James and Thomas, children of
Isaac Sanders; Anderson, Isaac S. and
Pressly, children of Mrs. Amelia S. Riley. The day before Christmas
Anderson and Pressly Riley took the
teacher out and wallowed him in snow and left him tied, because he would
not treat to whiskey. The teacher
treated to two gallons of whiskey on New Year's.
