BASIC FACTS

Anderson Pigg was born on 6 August 1805 in Casey Co., Kentucky.^1,6,7 He was born on 24 April 1807 in Kentucky.⁸ He and Elizabeth Beadles were married on 20 June 1833 in Fulton Co., Illinois.⁶ He and Mary Sanders were married on 9 June 1842 in Fulton Co., Illinois.⁶ He died on 23 April 1894, at age 88, in Bernadotte Twp., Fulton Co., Illinois.⁶ He was buried in Randall Cemetery, Bernadotte Twp., Fulton Co., Illinois.⁶

Anderson Pigg had reference number 25075. He was a Farmer (1850, 1860, 1870, 1880.)^1,3,4,5 He was enumerated on the census in Fulton County, Illinois (1850 - 1880.) Prior to his marriage to Mary Sanders, Anderson was married to Elizabeth Beadles.

Anderson Pigg owned two pieces of land in Bernadotte Township, 80 acres in Section 5 and a slightly smaller parcel in Section 16. (William Sanders, Anderson's brother-in-law, owned the 80-acre parcel immediately north of Anderson's property.) All of Anderson and Mary's children were born in a log home on this property.
After the death of her husband, daughter Lydia (Pigg) Kirkpatrick and her children moved back to the farm and lived with her parents. When Anderson died, Lydia inherited the farm in Section 5. When Lydia died, the farm passed to her two children. Frank Kirkpatrick sold his interest to his sister, Mary Matilda "Tillie" (Kirkpatrick) Coakley. Some time in the late 30s or early 40s they sold the farm. John Coakley tried to get one of the Pigg boys to buy the farm but the great depression was still hanging on and none of them felt like taking on debt so the farm passed out of the family.
The other piece of Anderson's property, the near 80 acres in Section 16, was inherited by his son, Lewis Paul Pigg. Lewis purchased some additional and and in the process accumulated quite a bit of debt before he died in 1939. His land was sold to cover his debts. Today none of the original Anderson Pigg property is owned by his descendants.

The following information came from Anderson Pigg's great-grandson, Lyndall Eugene Pigg:

We have some letters written to Anderson by his father James Pigg who still lived in KY. These letters show that James was a Whig and that Anderson was a Democrat. These letters written in the 1840s criticize Anderson very strongly for what he and the other Democrats have brought on the Country.
Anderson Pigg died 23 April 1894. Deeds dated 6 July 1892 to take effect at the time of his death show he disposed of his real property in the following manner. "For the sum of $500.00 and the further consideration of love and affection to Lydia Kirkpatrick, my daughter to be held and used by her for and during her natural life, and at her death then the same to go to Frank and Mary M. Kirkpatrick, her two children. The 80-acre home place in Bernadotte Twp. The $500.00 above mentioned is money borrowed from my said daughter." Another deed, same date, "the sum of one dollar in hand paid and for love and affection and of his consideration below mentioned to Lewis P. Pigg 110 acres in Sec. 9 & 16 of Bernadotte Twp. This deed to take effect and be delivered at my death and in the further consideration that said Lewis P. Pigg pay to the children of Permilla Knock deceased the sum of $500.00." Another deed, same date, "the sum of one dollar in hand paid and love and affection to the children of my deceased daughter Permilla Knock, Marion Knock, Dollie Knock, Addie Knock, Volie Knock, Maud Knock, Anderson Knock, and Wilmetta Knock, 18 acres of land in Sec. 16 of Bernadotte Twp." These deeds were all signed with an X, his mark. Since earlier deeds show his signature, I have to assume that he was either too weak, or was unable to see to sign his name. I have an appraisal sheet dated 23 June 1894, listing his personal property. It includes 8 horses and colts, some farm tools, and a few items of household furniture, totaling $310.20. I have a receipt showing that Lewis Pigg as administrator of the estate paid Ed Hancock $2.00 for appraising the property. Also a receipt showing Lydia Kirkpatrick paid O. Wood & Son, undertakers, $40.00 for the estate of Anderson Pigg. I believe this to be the full charges for the funeral of Anderson. The 80-acre farm deeded by Anderson to his daughter Lydia, passed to her two children at her death. Frank sold his interest to his sister Tillie and her husband John Coakley. The Coakley's sold the farm in the early 1940s. At that time it had been in the Pigg family over 100 years.
About James L., son of Anderson & Mary who died at 21 years of age. The story is that Lydia Pigg was attending college at Macomb, IL. James took some things to her by horseback. While he was gone there was a big rain causing Spoon River to go out of its banks. He got soaking wet, chilled, and developed pneumonia and died. This story was handed down to me from Lydia's grand daughter, Irene Kirkpatrick Barkley. She also has Lydia's diploma from the old Macomb College.
Members of the Overton family that lived in the same neighborhood as Anderson Pigg tell another story that has came down through the years. The area around the village of Bernadotte was rather heavily populated with southern sympathizers, also know as Copper Heads. Anderson Pigg was one of these. There were also some very strong Abolitionists in the area. The Overton’s were of this group and operated a station on the underground railway. While strongly disagreeing on this issue, the Overton’s and Piggs were the best of friends and neighbors otherwise. The Overton’s tell of one time when Anderson Pigg entered their house carrying a gun. He spent quite some time inquiring as to the welfare of the family and at the same time doing a good bit of looking around the room. After some time he bid them good night and departed. The next morning the Overton’s discovered that their barns and haystacks had been ransacked and searched, apparently while Anderson had kept them occupied. The Overton’s claim that no fugitive was ever taken while in their custody, so apparently the efforts of Anderson and his fellow Copperheads did not produce any results. My father has said that he has heard Frank Kirkpatrick tell that Anderson caught him chewing tobacco when he was a young boy. He promised Frank that if he would not use tobacco in any form, that when he was 21 years old he would give him the best team of horses he owned at that time. Anderson died before Frank was 21 but he did get the team of horses.

OBITUARY - THE PEOPLES PRESS, Lewistown, IL carried the following item in their weekly paper, Apr 1894

Anderson Pigg, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Bernadotte Township, died Monday evening of this week, after several months sickness, aged nearly eighty nine years. The funeral was held at the residence conducted by Rev. Tuite. The largest concourse of people ever assembled on a like occasion in Bernadotte Township followed the body to the Bernadotte Cemetery. The procession was a mile long.

LETTER from Lydia (Pigg) Kirpatrick to her brother, Lewis Paul Pigg

December 4th 1877
Dear Brother,
We received your and Wills letters last saturday, had not been to the office that week before. I think of going to Smithfield this afternoon & will have time only to write one letter this time. Will write to Will in a few days. Browns family are getting ready to move. Browns Sister married Mr. Pret, lived near old Mr. Baldock. Pret has moved some ten or 12 miles farther off. Browns are going to follow them, live in the house with them. Mr. Pret is a good quite man people say, but when Eb Brown gets there war will begin. Eb & his father had a round last week. Eb got so mad he tore Leases hay stack down & his father would build it up & then Eb put fire to it and tried to burn it up, his father by hard work put the fire out. Eb and Mit Dancy have run together till it is hard to tell which is the worst. Mit got your postoffice address, said he was going to write to you for Jim Parkison, he said Parkison wanted to buy your sleigh, he told a story then, for Parkison had a sleigh that cost $30, was trying to sell it, offered for $12, since has sold it to Browns, for two or three nice big sows. Mit has some trick in view & if falsehoods will accomplish it he will go on.
We have had some winter last week froze up hard, some warmer today rained a little last night & did not freeze, wind is blowing some cool soon freeze. I have not been in Dick new house, but they are having it quite fancy. Mr Stonemate was graining it inside the other day & was warned to work on the road so Dick worked in his place they will move soon now, all been plastered some time. They have a something over their north door about as large as Grandma Heckards portico. The top looks something lile Uncle Henrys chicken coop without corners. Willy was telling some of the boys in Smithfield thay had a portico to their house. George says no Willy it is not a portico it is a balcony. The boys went home to tell the news, they hunted their old spelling books up to find out what a balcony was. Will Knock was here yesterday, sold his land to Coakly. Lease is still at Parkisons. I traded my coal stove for a wood stove, we like the wood fire the best, but we dont have quick fires especially in wet weather. We are going to butcher this week. Tommy butchers tomorrow.
I suppose you have plenty of amusement in Mo. Judging from what Moll Clark says you write to her, go to dances & parties of most all descriptions.
Pa wants to know where the people ship their cattle and hogs principally, to St. Louis or Chicago. Pa is tring to get some corn out today to feed.
Frank says he hasnt got your boots, your boots are too big, it is your old straw hat hes got. Tillie and he both have bad cold, till they are half sick. Had a letter from Meal Saturday, they chilled about a week after they got home & then seemed to be better all around & Wallace has been chilling too, takes medicine all the time, he is getting weekly now, cant stand hard work any more.
Must close this time or I can not go to town today, its getting cold too, write soon. As ever yours
Lydia Kirkpatrick
Will gets his woman this draw or not at all
Isaiah Matheny has left his wife, been gone ever since the election

Note: It appears that Lewis was living in Missouri at the time this letter was written. I have not been able to find him in the 1880 Census and maybe that is the reason. The Will she is talking about may be their uncle, William Sanders. I do not find him in the 1880 Census either. Frank and Tillie that she mentions near the end of the letter are Lydia's children. The Wallace she mentions maybe her brother-in-law, Wallace Russel Knock.

BASIC FACTS

Lewis Paul Pigg was born on 18 September 1852 in Bernadotte Twp., Fulton Co., Illinois.⁹ He was born on 19 September 1852 in Bernadotte Twp., Fulton Co., Illinois.^1,10 He and Laura Bell Whiting were married on 20 February 1884 in Fulton Co., Illinois.¹¹ He and Cora Ellen Freiley were married on 2 February 1896 in Ipave, Fulton Co., Illinois.^11,12 He died on 21 November 1939, at age 87, in Ipava, Fulton Co., Illinois.¹ He was buried in Ipava Cemetery, Ipava, Fulton Co., Illinois.¹

Lewis Paul Pigg had reference number 25081. He was a Farmer (1900 - 1930.)^4,5,6,7 He was enumerated on the census in Fulton County, Illinois (1860, 1870, 1900 - 1930.) "History of Fulton County", Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois, page 1033; (Chicago: Muncell Pub. Co., 1908)
PIGG, Lewis P. -- The capacity for finding enjoyment in what one has to do, of being able to invest one's labor with interest and enthusiasm, are essentials of success which have been incorporated in the career of Lewis P. Pigg, owner of a valuable stock farm of 288 acres on Section 9, Bernadotte Township. Although Mr. Pigg's possession of this property dates only from 1899, it already reflects the ideas and individuality of it's manager, as against the blind following of methods of operation practiced by his predecessor. The admirer of high-grade stock must feel in his element on this fine farm, for here is much to stimulate his interest and increase his information. Shropshire sheep, Percheron horses, Shorthorn cattle and Poland-China hogs attain perfection under the best possible conditions of housing and feeding, and general farming is conducted with the most modern of agricultural devises.
Mr. Pigg was born September 18, 1852, on Section 5, Bernadotte Township, a son of Anderson and Mary (Sanders) Pigg, the former born in Tennessee in 1806 and the latter in Baltimore, Md., August 6, 1805. James Pigg, the paternal grandfather, moved to Casey County, KY., and there died about 1865, having, in the meantime, entirely lost his sight. November 23, 1830, Anderson Pigg, accompanied by Messrs. Randall and Beadles, removed to Fulton County, Ill., settling in Bernadotte Township. Formerly Mr. Pigg had engaged in farming entirely, but here he engaged in various occupations while becoming accustomed to his strange and unsettled surroundings. He eventually bought the farm on Section 5, where Lewis P. was born and where his death occurred in 1893. He was a quiet, unassuming man, an old-line Jackson Democrat and attended the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was the parent of four children, of whom James S., born in July, 1843, died May 30, 1864; Lydia, widow of James Kirkpatrick, of McDonough County, Ill. and Permelia J. (deceased) was the wife of Wallace Knock of Bunch, Kans.
Lewis P. Pigg has spent his entire life on a farm. In youth he attended the public schools, but it is safe to assume that he has learned more from observation and experience than from books. He remained under the parental roof until his thirtieth year, and as an independent farmer was sufficiently successful to justify the establishment of a home of his own, which he did after his marriage, in February, 1883, to Laura Whiting. Of this union there were three children: William, born in 1885; Inez, born September 21 1887, and died the same year, and Frances, born April 17, 1889. Mrs. Pigg died at the birth of the last named child. On February 1, 1895, Mr. Pigg was united in marriage to Cora E. Freiley, born in Bernadotte Township, April 28, 1868. Of this union there are five children: Irma, born October 27, 1896; Wayne, born March 19, 1897; Freiley, born August 27, 1899; Dwight, born June 20, 1900, and Harold, born in February, 1905. Mr. Pigg is an uncompromising Democrat, but inclination never has led him into the vortex of political activity. He has led a busy, temperate life, one in which an effort always has been made to see the bright side of things, to cultivate the best thoughts and wisely utilize his opportunities.

FULTON COUNTY, ILLINOIS FARMERS DIRECTORY (1917)
Lewis Pigg, wife: Cora; children: Irma, Wayne, Freiley, Dwight, Harold, Dale, William and Francis; Smithfield Post Office

From Lewis' grandson, Lyndall Eugene Pigg

Lewis Pigg, youngest child of Anderson and Mary Pigg was born 18 Sept 1852. Very little is known about his childhood and early life. We do have some old letters that indicate he spent some time and possibly owned land in Missouri in the1870s. [See letter written by Lydia Pigg) Kirkpatrick.] He purchased 120 acres in Section 9, Bernadotte Twp. in Nov of 1881. This is the farm that was known as the upper place or hill farm. He married Laura Whiting 20 Feb. 1884 and they lived in a log house on this farm. All three of their children were born in this log house and Laura died there in April 1890. 2 Feb. 1896 Lewis married Cora Ellen Freiley, a young schoolteacher. About this time is when Lewis built a new house on this property. Legend has it that he paid John Coons $50.00 to build this four room frame house. We have a picture of Lewis, Cora, and son William standing in front of this house with the log house visible in the background. Cora appears to be pregnant and since there are no other children in the picture we believe this was taken in the summer of 1896. Lewis purchased what was to become known as the lower farm in the spring of 1898 and must have moved on it shortly after that. From these dates Irma [later Erma] and Wayne must have been born in the little house on the upper place and the others all born in the house on the lower place. The lower place had a huge bank barn, which Lewis built in 1910. The workmen stayed right at the farm, only going home weekends. Grandma cooked all of their meals for them. Lewis followed somewhat in the footsteps of his father, as he owned sawmills and steam threshing rigs at different times in his life. He also raised Percheron horses, Shorthorn cattle, and Poland China hogs. He served as Highway Commissioner in Bernadotte Twp. Later his son, Harold and grandson Jimmie would each serve several terms in this same position. Lewis passed away 21 Nov 1939 and before his estate was completely settled Cora passed away 2 May 1941. Times were pretty hard then as the effects of the great depression were still being felt down on the farm. Lewis was in debt and the estate did not bring enough to pay the debts. If he could just have lived another year or two he would have been solvent. He died in the house where he spent his early married life and just a mile from where he was born. Lewis and Cora are buried in the Ipava Cemetery.
As we lived about 12 miles from my grand parents during my growing up days, I was not around them much except on Sundays when we would go for visits. Since there were usually several others around at the same time and I was more interested in playing with the cousins than in talking to my grandparents I really didn't get to know my grandparents very well. I remember granddad as a person that liked to talk and tell stories and laugh, and grandma mostly cooking and working in her kitchen.
At this time I have not done any research on Laura Whiting, first wife of Lewis. They had three children, William, Inez, and Mary Frances. William married a lady from Oklahoma, her name was Minnie. They had one daughter, named Mary. William and his wife divorced many years ago. They later had a reconciliation and remarried but this did not last very long. I believe the daughter married but did not have children. William died 24 June 1969 and is buried in Randall cemetery near Bernadotte. His mother, infant sister, and grandparents are buried in the same lot. Inez born 21 Sep 1887, died 12 Feb 1888. Mary Frances, born 17 April 1890, married Charles Joachim 3 Nov 1909. They had six sons and one daughter. As of this writing, 29 Mar 1990, Aunt Fanny is still living in the Cuba nursing home. She has not been able to communicate for several years (died Oct. 8, 1990). Lewis and Cora Ellen Freiley, wife number two, had one daughter and five sons. Irma (Erma) born 27 Oct 1896 married William Sherwood 17 Apr 1918. They spent their early-married life in Nebraska, came back to Illinois for a while then went to California where she passed away 21 Apr 1978.

BASIC FACTS

Frank Kirkpatrick was born on 18 October 1874 in Bernadotte Twp., Fulton Co., Illinois.¹ He and Grace Louella Neff were married on 18 March 1902 in Cuba, Fulton Co., Illinois.¹ He and Nellie Neff were married on 4 December 1918 in Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois.^1,7 He died on 28 January 1959, at age 84, in Fulton Co., Illinois.¹ He was buried in Baughman Cemetery, Smithfield, Fulton Co., Illinois.⁸

Frank Kirkpatrick had reference number 25085. He was enumerated on the census in Fulton County, Illinois (1880, 1900) McDonough County, Illinois (1910); Fulton County, Illinois (1920, 1930.) He was a Farmer - general farming (1910 - 1930.)^4,5 He resided in Moved to Table Grove, Fulton Co., Illinois in 1902.⁸ NOTE: Life of Frank Kirkpatrick by Lyndall Eugene Pigg.

We know that Frank’s father died 26 Jul 1875 when Frank was 9 mos. of age. We know that Frank’s mother, Lydia Pigg Kirkpatrick was pregnant at the time of her husband’s death. She signed away her dower rights and returned to the home of her parents. Thus Frank grew up in the household of his Grandfather, Anderson Pigg. We have to assume that Frank grew up helping his Grandfather and Uncle, Lewis Pigg around the farm.
At the death of Anderson Pigg, Lydia inherited the home farm of 80 acres. The 1900 Census of Bernadotte Twp. Lists Lydia as a farmer and Frank as a farm laborer, which would indicate that Lydia owned the farming operation and that Frank, was her employee.
Frank and Grace Neff (a close neighbor) were married 19 March 1902. Frank’s obituary says he moved to near Table Grove in 1902. I know from knowledge gained from many family members that Frank & Grace lived on what was known as The Dan Harris farm North West of Table Grove. This farm was located in New Salem Twp., McDonough Co.
The 1910 Census for New Salem Twp. Lists Frank as a farmer, Grace as a home maker, children, Clyde E, Clair N, Tressa I, and Raymond A. Clarence Strode as hired man and Bessie Strode as a servant.
Mr. Harris owned quite a large acreage but we do not know how much of this Frank farmed. We do have a picture (taken in 1912) of a crew cultivating corn with horses. In this picture there are four teams pulling one-row cultivators and two hitches of three horses pulling two row cultivators. This would have meant a crew of six people working. Going by the size of the cultivating crew, my best guess was that Frank was operating at least 400 hundred acres, quite a large operation for those days.
We believe that Frank and his family moved from the Harris farm to a farm South East of Table Grove owned by Dwight B Carithers in the spring of 1916. Grace Neff Kirkpatrick’s obituary says she lived on a farm SE of Table Grove. This farm was set up for a cattle-feeding operation. The 1917 Prairie Farmer Directory lists Frank and his family, which by that time included two more sons, Namely Russell and Burdette. They were living on a farm owned by D B Carithers consisting of 360 acres. Some time between 1917 and 1921 Frank took over an additional 320 acres also owned by Mr. Carithers. My first memories are of Frank living on this farm consisting of 680 acres and having this huge cattle feeding operation. The cattle feeding operation was know as Kirkpatrick and Carithers. They would have as many as 900 head of cattle on feed, which was a huge operation for those days. I believe it was probably one of the largest if not the largest cattle feeding operation in Illinois prior to WW II. During this time Frank always had at least two full time hired men plus two sons, Clyde and Russell working full time. During the busy planting and harvesting times he would hire additional workers. I personally helped with silo filling in the fall of 1940. In the summer of 1942 I helped with threshing and hay baling.
In early 1942 the federal government started surveying in the Table Grove area for an army training facility. They eventually selected approximately 12000 acres East of Table Grove. This included the farm Frank was operating. Every thing was appraised and everyone was notified to vacate by Sept. 1, 1942 so this was the end of the Kirkpatrick and Carithers operation. Frank purchased 80 acres just across the highway from where he had lived for 26 years. The farm he purchased did not have any buildings. He purchased a house from The Govt. and moved it to his farm. He built a small barn, a hog farrowing building, an implement shed. He started raising purebred Hereford hogs and continued this as long as his health permitted.
Frank was a highly respected person in the community. In the times I worked for him and the time spent around him as a family member I never heard him speak in anger or speak badly of anyone. If someone made a mistake or done something wrong,
Frank was more likely to laugh about it. I know my father looked up to Frank as a mentor and a great friend. Since my father eventually rented a farm from Mr. Carithers, I feel certain that Frank was instrumental in Dad being able to rent this farm. Recent years I have wondered just how Frank got to be such a big farmer. It would have been highly unusual for a young man to rent such a large acreage without a family connection. There must have been someone from the area where Frank grew up who recommended him to Mr. Harris.
When Norma I got married and rented a farm,(also from D B Carithers) Frank offered to loan us the money we needed to start our farming operation. Since Norma’s father had already offered to lend us the needed money at no interest I thanked Frank for his offer.

Mrs. Luella Kirkpatrick.
Grace Luella, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. M. Neff, was born near Lewiston, Fulton county, Illinois, January 23, 1883, and fell asleep at her home southeast of Table Grove, Wednesday evening., Nov. 29, 1916, at the age of 33 years, 10 months and 6 days.
From early girlhood she was an earnest Christian, joining the Baptist church in the year of 1900 and walked in a vale lustrous with holy contentment, and redolent with fragrance of absolute abandonment to the righteous will of God.
She was united in marriage to Frank Kirkpatrick March 18, 1902. To this union was born five sons, namely, Clyde, Clair, Raymond, Russell and Burdett, and one daughter, Irene, who with the husband, her father, mother and the following brothers and sisters, Mrs Josie Fulker, and Lawrence Neff of Whitre Butte, S. D., Mrs Lenora Ellingson of Minot, N. D., Leonard, Nellie and Edith at home near Petrel, N. D. are left to mourn their loss.
This rare woman excelled as a homemaker. She gripped the members of her charming home-circle with hooks more beautiful than gold and more powerful than steel. She was truly born of God, and so thoroughly pliant was she in the hands of God who was fashioning her for her life work, and that not for the moment was her mind led out with an ambition for anything outside her proper sphere or beyond her limitations. The things of God were always her chief interests, His word, His worship, His days and His people. She passed into life's open days and found it beautiful to be with God. We sorrow, but with hope, no power can restrain our tears but on them all sets the rainbow promise of the morning. God who found service for her in this world will find use for her in the world beyond. The kind Father who gave her to bless a family here, will preserve her for the home coming of the same circle to the land beyond. She has gone to the city of the Great King and the gates swing wide for her entrance for no purer life was carried by the Angles to that city, a life enriched with deeds of love and gentleness. Her influence as a faithful campanion, a kind and loving mother and a consistent Christian still lives to carry on her Master's work.
Funeral services were held at the home Sunday morning at 11 o'clock and at Smithfield at 1 o'clock in the M. E. church, Rev. Plarton of the United Brethern church officiating. Interment was in Brock chapel cemetery.

Card of Thanks.
We take this method of thanking our neighbors and friends for the kindness and sympathy shown during our bereavement. Frank Kirkpatrick and children.

His Social Security Number was 347-14-8275, issued: Illinois.⁷ He resided in Fort Smith, Sebastian Co., Arkansas (1948); Van Buren, Crawford Co., Arkansas (1959, 1977, 1983.)^8,9,6,10 He was enumerated on the census in McDonough County, Illinois (1910); Fulton County, Illinois (1920.) There is an interesting Arkansas marriage record. It shows that Mary Aleene (Tackett) Core married Clair Neff Kirkpatrick on 28 Dec 1948. This was just three days before his marriage to Lela Dona Noel. One wonders if this marriage was just an error in Arkansas marriage records.
