earliest settlers and one of the three original County Commissioners of Adams county ; first came to the county in 1819, though not as a permanent resident until 1824; born Oct. 28th 1792, at Newfane, Windham county, Vermont. The years of his life until manhood were passed in the hard labor of farm life, interspersed as opportunity favored, with a few months of attendance at school, during each winter. These opportunities, because rare and difficult of attainment, were all the more highly appreciated, and resulted in the formation of tastes and habits of study that had an important influence on his whole after life. In the spring of 1817, his attention was attracted to the advantages olfered to such as were disposed to enter with energy and determination upon the development of the resources of the Western country, and in June of that year, without means, and unaccompanied save by a brave heart and a resolute determination to work out a future for himself, he turned his back upon his mountain home in Vermont, audbeganhisjourney toward the great West. The hardships and self-denials encountered during this journey were so great, that many another would have abandoned the project and returned disheartened to pass an aimless life in toil upon the rugged Vermont hills. But his purpose once formed, his determination never wavered, and he pressed courageously forward. His course lay through the then sparsely settled regions of New York and Canada, until after many weary weeks, he reached the government frontier post at Mackinac; thence across the desolate country which now forms the great state of Wisconsin, until in the fall of the year he reached the Mississippi river at the Indian trading post called Prairie du Chien.

Here he passed something more than a year engaged in various pursuits, and in the fall of 1818 he joined a party formed for the purpose of passing the winter in the pineries. The early spring found him the owner of a raft of considerable proportions - the result of a hard winter's toil - and in the month of March, with one hired hand to assist in navigating his craft, he started for St. Louis. On the 10th of May, 1819, he had arrived as far south as the spot where now is situated the city of Quincy, and the natural attractions of the situation were by no means unheeded, as is proved by after events. This, the only point for many miles either above or below where the bluffs skirted the river, seemed by nature intended for a settlement of more or less importance, and when, in the following year, circumstances brought him again to this place, his first impressions were most thoroughly established.

Some two years were passed in explorations throughout the " military tract " in the interest of various owners of bounty lands, in which occupation a good knowledge of the government system o^surveys^ and the principles of land surveying, made his services of peculiar value.

the remainder of his life. The two men had much in common - youth, energy, and ambition - common aims and sympathies, that rendered their friendship congenial, and for half a century they watched with jealous interest the growth and gradual development of the settlement their hands had planted. In the spring of 1824 Mr. Keyes erected a house near the place where now stands the railroad passenger depot, and in the only room of this unpretentious structure, sixteen by twenty-four feet in dimensions, was held the first term of court and the first election held in Adams county. Here he lived and labored for almost fifty years, honored and respected as one of the founders and lathers of a large and prosperous city. With what anxious solicitude he watched the gradual growth and development of this infant settlement from a desolate wilderness to a populous city, there are now but few left to testify.

His life was marked throughout'its entire course bj' a rare spirit of enterprise and progress, coupled with an unyielding integrity that won for him respect and friends from all classes with whom he came ii/ contact. He iDOssessed a quiet, unobtrusive disposition which pi'ompted him to shun, rather than seek for, public life and position, for which otherwise he would have been well fitted. Self-assertion was not a part of his nature. His sphere of usefulness (and it was not a restricted one) was in the walks of private life. He loved a generous and philanthropic act for its own sake and for the sake of the inward consciousness it brought of a duty fulfilled.

He was always ready to extend a helpinghand to suftering and^ need}- humanity, and the hearty " God bless you," received in return for a kindly act or word, was for him a more than ample reward. This C[uality of heart juid mind led him to feel and express a large measure of sympathy for the negro in slavery, and he was an active and out. spoken abolitionist at a time when to be such was unpopular with a large proportion of the community. A deeply religious tone pervaded his wht)le life, and he was for many years, and up to the close of his life, a deacon in the Congregational Church, in the estal)lishment of which he was instrumental at an early day. Feeling keenly his own lack of early educational advantages, it was always his earnest wish to give to his children every facility for acquiring a liberal education, and he was ever found ready to give of his means and influence for the establishment and encouragement ot educational institutions, both at home and abroad. He lived to see his children, one son and three daughters, all attain manhood and womanhood, and died Feb. 7, 1872, leaving behind a memory cheri.nhed and revered by all who knew him.

liESEM SAMUEE. Few young men in the country illustrate more fully than Mr. Samuel Lesem that real honor lies in acting well one's part. He was born in Glasgow, Howard county, Mo., aud received his education in the public schools of Quincj"- 111. He is now twenty-eight years old. His success in life is clearly attributable to the double advantage of excellent natural gifts, and an early employment in business affairs. In his fifteenth year he was received into the banking house of Henry T. J. Richer, of Quincy, where his capacity and skill soon developed themselves, aud he advanced so rapidly that he achieved the highest position in the establishment, and maintained it with signal credit to himself and satisfaction to his emploj'er until, in 1868, he was obliged to resign on account of failing health. He then went on a tour through the Rocky Mountains, in company with Gen. Sickles and Col. Fred Grant, for the purpose of locating a line of narrow gauge railroad, and returning home invigorated in health he was made Deputj^ City Collector, in which capacity he collected nearly $200,000 for the city. "When only eighteen years old he embarked in the insurance business on his own account, and found little difficulty in demonstrating that there are few quarters where one can accomplish as much in the way of soliciting. His marked success in this field brought him promotion, and in 1873 he found himself a special agent for the Firemen's Fund Insurance Company, of California, being thea actually the youngest special agent in the country. The next year the Republicans of Quincy made him their candidate for City Treasurer, and though his party was in a hopeless minority in the city, he had the satisfaction of polling a heavy balance over the average of his ticket. In 1874 he was appointed special agent of the Phcsnix Insurance CompanJ^ of New York, for the Western States, which position he filled with great acceptance till some time in 1875, when he engaged in banking business, acting in the capacity of cashier. Mr. Lesem is a young man of more than ordinarily fine address, aud with a decided leaning to all public enterprises that tend to the elevation of the public taste. This was illustrated some two or three years ago when, largely through his instrumentality, a series of open air concerts was inaugurated in the beautiful park in the business center of Quincy, aud which have ever since been continued through the summer season. He was a prime mover also in peopling the park with squirrels, rabbits, and feathered songsters, an innovation in which the citizens have ever since taken a special pride. At the annual session of the United States Supreme Lodge of the Independent Order of Mutual Aid, held in July, 1878, he was made Supreme Conductor, which position he still holds. He has, in fact, achieved a creditable, indeed, an enviable, business and social success in life, thou^-h yet under 30, and has before him the entire period of activity in which men oi-dinarily make their mark in the world.
