Dr. Hiram Rutherford Writings About Samuel Ashmore
Oakland Illinois First Settler
One of the great difficulties of a bigraphy is to sketch the character of a man whom the author has never seeen. It is a still greater difficulty in the presence of his surviving children and his descendants--"numerous as the sands of the seas"''to do that work faithfully. Like the rough frontiersman that he was his hand was ready, if struck, he returned the blow with interest and effect like a good son the church militant; a strong friend and hospitable; a bitter enemy and vindictive. Probably he talked too much, a weakness common to the times when it was thought necessary for every man to give an opinion, whther he had a reason for it or not. Thgain chimney corner jurisprudence was a fruitful subject for discusssion, we don't know that in our own times the habit is any better than it was then. Mr.n Ashmore (Captain Samuel) had hot blood and in behalf of what he supposed was his "rights", spared neither himself nor others.
"What was his disposition?" we inquired of his venerable and respected daughter-in-law. "Well, sir, he was a very fractious man--when he got angry."
To show that he had a fountain of humor in him, it is related that driving cattle once in Tennessee, in a terribly muddy road, he met a broadcloth snob (broadcloth was scarce then) who in disregard of drover courtesies forced his horse into the midst of the herd, producing considerable confusion. In a moment Ashmore comprehended his man and riding up to meet him greeted him as an old friend, "Why, how are you" held out his hand and grasping that of the snob's with an iron grip, he put his spurs to his horse and dragged the fellow offf his saddle and into the mud.
The following is a letter written by Carrol Omar Ashmore, son of Samuel Ashmore, to Rutherford from Correctionville, Iowa and dated March 1, 1896. Almost 77 years old at the time of writing the letter, Carrol Omar Ashmore was about 10 years old when his familyu arrived in the area now called Oakland.
Dear H. Rutherford,
Dear Friend. I received your mowt welcome letter dated February 6, 1896. I should have answered your letter sooner, but my hand shakes so I can scarcely write any more, so I had to wait until I could get the letter written for me. In regard to your letter I would say my father and family landed May 13, 1829, in what was called then Edgar County, since then Coles and afterward Douglas County. There were no settlers within a radius of about 15 miles of where my father located on what was known as the Laughlin place.
Our first cookhouse was built by putting forked poles in the ground and covering with clapboards, and our sleeping quarters was a covered wagon and father's carriage, which was the only carriage in the country at that time.
We broke out 20 acres and planted to corn before we built our house. In breaking the prairie we used wis yoke of cattle and one team of horses on the lead and your humble servant rode the lead horses. We planted our corn by cutting into the sod with an ax and dropping the corn in the hole thus made and pressed the sod together with our feet, and our corn went 75 bushels to the acre. After our corn was planted, we built our house. The house was 24x16, built of white oak logs. We lived in the house until cold weather without any door or sash to the windows, and there was no chimney. Also this was the first that built on that locality.
The nearest neighbors was about 700 Kickapoo Indians, their encampment was on the Brushy Fork, about 7 miles from our place. There was no white neighbors to come and see us or visit; and we was glad when some of our Indian neighbors would call around and see us. The first white visitors we had was my brother Clayborn (Samuel) and his wife (Sarah), they came 40 miles on horseback and I can tell you we were glad to see them come riding in, it was one year after we had came. And the first white woman my mother saw after we had came there was Mrs. Moddrell, and that was in December when my brother G. J., (Genreal Jackson) was born. Mrs. Moddrell lived in St. Omar, then called Moddrell's Point. She was the grandmother of Sterl Curtis. General Jackson was born December 14, 1829 and he was the first white child born in Douglas County.
We had to endyre a great deal of hardships and privations in those early days. We had to go 35 miles to mill to get our corn ground to make bread. We had no roads and quite often we would get stuck in the mud, and we would have to unload our wagons and carry the loads long distances on our backs, and we would have to hallew and thrash our ox teams for all we were worth to get our empty wagons out of the mud, and I tell you a big piece of corn bread would taste awful good when we got through with such a jobas that, if we were so lucky as to have some along with us. And there were times when we were unable to get our corn ground and we had to content ourselves on hominy; and we had to do without bread quite a while sometimes. The men would be compelled to be away from home and mother and the three little children would have to stay several nights alone at a time.
In regard to my brother Matt (Gideon Madison), he moved to Iowa County, Wisconsin and he was very successful in his business transactions, but in the last few years of his life he had a great many reverses, and he died a poor man. He died in Arena, Wisconsin, ten years ago. John Anderson, my father-in-law, died with dropsy at Arena, Wisconsin 20 years ago. He and Matt are buried in the same grave yard.
Now, dear frien, I would like to be with youb and hear you read your paper. I have passed my 76th milestone. I have been bothered a great deal with catarrhal affection. I have passed through a great deal of experience since I was young. I am trying to live a true Christian life, and trust you love the Blessed Savior, and if we should ever meet here, that we shall in the great here after. Tell brother Jack (General Jackson) to write to me and I would like to hear from you after you have your old settler's meeting.
May the Lord bless you.
From your sincere friend,
C. O. Ashmore
