always a pleasant duty, as we, journey through life, to make iiencilings by the way, and take note of those who in any relation, social or otherwise, Juive made their imirl.. and left enduring footprints in the walks of life ; but it is more gratifying when we feel iustified in chronicling the deeds of those j who seem actuated alone by philanthropic tiims, and an earnest desire, during their day and generation, to bestow some benefit upon their fellows and associates. Of such characteristics aud disposition is the subject of this sketch. Though born on foreign soil,

Academy. However, the young John, like the older John, was not one to be " crammed " with the facts and figures of any prescribed curriculum. He made a poor mirror for the mere reflection of the thoughts and opinions of others. From a child, by an uncontrollable mental bias, he thought for himself. He marked out novel and independent educational paths. It would not be surprising if he was the astonishment and despair of his early teachers. His boyhood proclivities iu this direction have become the settled habit of a life-time. His peculiar ideas of, and warm enthusiasm over, selfculture, find iu himself a happy illustration.

If the old adage concerning poets, be as true of physicians, John Moore was born a doctor. The boy, riding on a walking-stick and administering the healing mullein leaf to the unprejudicial inhabitants of a New England pasture, naturallj' came to larger circuits, with improved methods of locomotion and a more extensive materia medica.

Early in life, when such a course required mental independence and no little moral heroism, he became a convert to, and an earnest student of, the homeopathic school of medicine. He accepted it fully; embraced it as a harmonious, satisfactory system, without suspicion or mental reservation ; not according it a quasi devotion, as some are said to recognize religion as suitable and beneficial to women aud children. jManj^ years of devoted loyalty, no less than his marked and acknowledged success, are ample justification of his early choice.

He came from New England to La Salle county. 111., in 1856. After practicing his profession here for some time, he entered the Hahnemann Medical College in Chicago receiving his diploma in 1861. He practiced successfully in Kankakee, 111., until Dec, 1870, when he removed to Quincj'.

He came, not onlj^ followed by the good will of his former patrons, but introduced by the "Medical Investigator" of Chicago, an authority iu his school of medicine, and warmly recommended to the citizens of Adams county, as one of the best prescribers in the State.

The distinguishing characteristics of his professional life may be summed up in few, but significant, words. He has rare powers of mental analysis; unshaken faith in his adopted practice ; conscientious devotions to the interests of his patients; indomitable energy, and unflagging determination. No thinlving man ever dreamed that he could be guilty of making medical experiments- Unquestionably animated by tlie highest and purest motives of his profession, his constant aim and his fixed pur]iose have been to save life and relieve suSeriug. . To accomplish this end, he has remorselessly sacrificed, not only the social enjoyments that break the monotony and sweeten the bitterness of life, but also the relaxation absolutely necessary to physical vigor. He has lived with his patients, and with his books for the sake of his i)atients. For service and sacrifice like this there must be, - there is, - a reward greater than can be furnished by any mere public acknowledgement or approval.

He married Elizabeth H. Emerson in Parsonsfield, Maine, Dec. 14, 1853. She was born in that place March 9, 1823. Their union has resulted in four children, three living: William L., Hattie H., John (deceased), and Harvey Emerson Moore. Oftice 089, residence, 637 Maine street, Quincy.

From this, place all supplies and munitions of war were forwarded to the American army operating in Northern Mexico. Soon after the close of the Mexican war he removed to California, and was a member of its first State

Senate. In 1856 he was a candidate for the Chief Justiceship of California, but defeated. In 1860 lie removed to and occupied a prominent position in that state until 1864, when he died, near Austin, Nevada. I In 1S;J3 he married the daughter of Col.

KAI.STOX JOSEPH X., deceased ; was the son of a farmer of Bourbon County, Ky., where he was born, Jan. 25, 1801. Here his early life was passed, chiefly in agricultural pursuits, and here he married a Miss Orant, who died after bearing him three children. Of these, one son only, Virgil Y. Ralston, lived to manhood. He inherited much of his father's ability, and on the eve of the breaking out of the rebellion, as editor of the Quincy Whig,\iiu\ achieved a reputation as a vigorous and brilliant writer. Inheriting also the patriotism of his sire, on the outbreak of the war he entered the army as a Captain in the IGth Regt. 111. Inf , but failing health compelled him to resign. Having partially recovered, here-entered the service in an Iowa regiment, and died in the prime of life, at Jetterson Barracks, of disease contracted in the tield.

On the death of Virgil's mother, his father turned his attention to scientific pursuits, attended medical lectures at Lexington, Ky., and in 1833 removed to Quincy and entered upon the practice of medicine.

In 1837 he married 3Iiss Margaretta Mitchell, who survives him. Of the seven children of this union two died in infancy. Five daughters are still living.

Dr. Ralston continued the practice of medicine until thelastyear ofhis life, dying in June, 1870. Of his eminence in the profession it is sufficient to say that for more than forty years he held a leading position among the phj'sicians of Quincy and xVdams county. He was one of the founders and the first president of the Adams County Medical Society, and was at several subsequent periods re-elected to that position. From its organization, in IS.IO, until the vear of his

Weighted down through his long life with the cares and anxieties of the mo.st exacting of professions, he never forgot the duties of a citizen, maintaining to the last his interest in public aflairs. He served in the City Council in the earlier history of the city, when he could do so without neglecting his practice, and only once, later, gave himself a Ijrief respite from professional duties when appointed hy the President, in 1868, one of the visitors to the Military Academy at West Point.

He was keenly alive to the educational interests of his adopted home, and had a leading part in inducing Catherine Beecher to establish a school in Quibcy, now many years ago. Later he took part in establishing Quincy College, under the control of the INIethodist Church, with which he was always actively identified, and was one of the trustees of that institution.

For many years lie was an active Mason ; was one of the founders of Bodley Lodge No. 1, of Quincj', and participated in the establishment of the Grand Lodge of Illinois, in which body he attained to the rank of Junior Grand Warden. He was devoted to the fraternity to the last, and was buried with its rites.

Identified with every movement promising to promote the public welfare, enjoying a leading social position, and maintaining always a lavge practice, probably no man in Quincy has ever had so extensive an accjuaintance among all classes of its people as he.

He was rather tall and spare iu figure, dignified'in carriage, courteous almost to punctiliousness in manner, clean and precise iu speech. Self poised, keen in his percei)tions, steadfast in liis convictions, sagacious iu counsel, the sturdy virtues which commanded for him universal respect, were rooted in a kind and strongly sympathetic nature, which won the enduring love of kindred and the aflectionate regard oftliose to whom he ministered.

(deceased) ; was born in Kilkenny, Ireland, about 1804 ; came to the United States when 16 years of age, and located in Vermont.

He married Mary Duulevy in Boston, and immediately started for St. Louis to seek a home and a fortune in the grand Mississippi Valley. After visiting several points higher up the river, he decided to settle in Quincy, and landed here July 3, 1837. Mr. Redmond had little else than willing hands and a tine practical business talent to start with in the young city, but enterprise and unflinching integrity rapidlj^ won friends and started him on the high road to success. Having accumulated a little ready money,

\«hen the Northern Cross Railroad was being constructed between Quincy and Clayton, he secured a contract, bousrlit horses and carts, and, in companj- with AVilliaiu Shannahau smd Samuel Holmes, executed the work at a good prolit. He continued as a contractor for a number of years, the firm at ditferent times being known as Holmes, Redmond & Shannahan^ Redmond, Duulevy & Co., Redmond, Powers «fc Smith, and Redmond & Holmes. He invested his growing capital in real estate in and near Quinc}', thereby laying the foundation for his large fortune. In 1848, having extensive financial interests in the city, he was elected a member of the City Coimcil, and filled the otfice so satisfactorily that he was re-elected and held the position for many years. He was chosen Mayor to fill the vacancy caused by I. O. Woodrufl;''s resignation in 18G0, and so acceptably did he perform the executive duties that he was re-elected three consecutive years following, making a term of service as Alderman and Mayor of tweutj'-one years. He resigned the office of Mayor in 1S64 to accept a seat in the State Legislature, where he honored his position. At the expiration of the term Mr. Redmond devoted his attention to private business; but the people, not willing to dispense with his valuable services, some years later elected him Supervisor-at- Large, as a member of which Board he manifested his usual zeal and ability in the interests of his constituency. From that to his death, which occurred Dec. 20, 1878, he was chiefty occupied in looking after his large estate. Among his many sterling qualities, none shone brighter than his active benevolence. His heart and his purse were ever open to the petitions of the deserving poor and the suflering. Although his charities were many and liberal, and bestowed regardless of race or color, they were entirely without ostentation or display, tfie glad recipients seldom knowing from whom the blessings came.

His wife preceded him several years across the "dark river.'' He left a family of three sons and four daughters. Jame<, Mrs. Margaret Dick, Pat. H., Mrs. E. J. Williams, Katie C., Thomas and Mollie G. Redmond.
