JAMES A. ANDES.
MR. ANDES, who is now engaged in the grain business at Tower Hill, is a native of the county, and was born in Windsor township, on the 5th of March, 1841. On his father's side he is of German descent, though the family has lived in this township fo r several generations. His great-grandfather emigrated from Germany to America, and settled in the State of Pennsylvania. His grandfather was born in Pennsylvania, and at an early period emigrated to East Tennessee, where Allen Andes, father of the subjec t of this sketch, was born. In the year 1837, Allen Andes, then a young man, came to Illinois and settled in Shelby county. In 1838, be married Elizabeth Davis, who was born in Greenbrier county, Virginia. He began farming on Sand Creek, in Windsor townsh ip. James A. Andes was the third of a family of twelve children. His mother died in Windsor township, and his father in Tower Hill township. He was married in Windsor township, and his home was in that part of the county till he was twenty-five years of a ge. The educational advantages existing in his boyhood were comparatively limited. The schools were held in log school-houses, and had by no means reached their present state of efficiency. He improved his opportunities as best he could, and partly in stu dy by himself acquired the elements of a good education. At the age of eighteen he began teaching on Upper Sand Creek, in Windsor township. Many of his pupils were older and larger than himself. He taught three winters, and then for two terms attended the old seminary at Shelbyville, under C. W. Jerome. He afterwards taught school several years. He has taught in the county twelve winters altogether, in Windsor, Okaw, Tower Hill and Big Spring townships. His marriage took place on the 14th of March, 1865, to Sarah E. Selby, daughter of James M. and Lydia M. Selby. Mrs. Andes was born in Okaw township, and her parents were among the early settlers of that part of the county. Her grandfather came to this county from Kentucky. Her father was born in Kentucky, and was a boy when the family became residents of Shelby county.
Her mother, Lydia M. Skeen, was a native of the state, and was born in Effingham county.
In the fall of 1865, Mr. Andes purchased a farm in Tower Hill township, and has since been a resident of that part of the county. In 1872, he began the grain business at Tower Hill, which he has since carried on. His residence is in the village of Tower H ill, though he owns a farm adjoining the town. In his political belief he was originally a Republican. By his first vote for President, cast in 1864, he assisted to elect Lincoln to his second term. He continued a Republican till 1874, when he became conv inced that the legislation of the country was conducted in favor of capital and to the injury of the laboring and productive classes, and he then joined the Greenback party. He was one of the first members of that political organization in his part of the county, and has remained steadfast in his adherence to its principles. He is known as a man of strict personal integrity and business capacity. At different times he has filled the office of assessor, collector and clerk of Tower Hill township. He has tw o children, Luella and Minnie Andes. For a number of years be has been connected with the Methodist Church. He is a man of liberal opinions and progressive views, and is popular as a business man.

Daniel Davis was one among the first settlers at the head of Sand creek; he was a blacksmith, although not an expert in his trade. He could mend a chain or clevis, and at that time was considered a very useful citizen. He sometimes preached to the early settlers.

pg. 557; William F. Tull.
WILLIAM F. TULL, one of tin- oldest resi- dents, and one of those most worthy of honor in Windsor Township, Shelby County, resides mi section 20, ami was born in Bedford County, Tenn., January 9, 1819. His parents were Daniel anil Sallie (Baw) Tull, both natives of North Carolina, who married there and soon after returned to Tennessee, where they re- mained until 1829. At this time they emigrated to Illinois, and settled in Shelby County. Our -iil>ject was the eighth in a family of nine, and all are deceased except this son and Iris brother, Nathan P., who resides in the village of Windsor.
Mr. Tull was hut a lad of eleven years when his parents located in Shelby County, yet he has a vivid recollection of the trip across the coun- try, with a six-horse team, and often recalls the wild and unimproved condition of the country and the sparsely peopled section- through which they traveled. Shelbyville, now a promising city of live thousand inhabitants, was then a little trading post, composed of a few log shanties.
In tin- fall of 1838 this young man (then only nineteen year- old) took to himself a wife in the person of Miss Hannah Davis, who «;i- also a ua- tive of East Tennessee, where she was bora Decem- ber "27. 1821. Her parent-, like his, came to Shelby ( ounty in the early days, and located in Windsor Township in 1828, and there spent the re- mainder Of their live-. That young couple in due time became the parents of :i truh patriarchal Hock, fifteen children being horn to them.
The seven children who are still living an- as follows: Sallie. Mrs. Cane, now fifty-one Mar-
old, and lives in this town-hip; Josiah has been a cripple since he wa- eighteen months old. and has always been cared for by hi- parents; Harriet is unmarried and lives at home: Catherine, now Mrs. Moobery, lives in this township, as does also Jonathan, who is married; .lames and Nathan F. are at home and unmarried, and working on the old homestead, although they have both reached mature years.
This beautiful old couple have enjoyed each
other's society in wedded life for over fifty-two year-, and both give promise of many more years of health and cheer. They speak in the highest term- of tin- lilial affection and obedience of their children, with whom ihe\ have never had an un- pleasant or discordant word. Mr. Tull has been a life-long Democrat, and has ever been a recognized leader in his township. His middle name is For- rest a- he wa- named for the father of the noted Confederate General, that general being a play- mate of Mr. Tull 's. Lor many years this couple were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, but at the tiuieof the division of that body during the war. they withdrew and joined the Christian Union Church.

- ↑ Wallis Cemetery located at 39.46241, -88.62722..
- ↑ Description: Relationship with Kickapoo Indians (see notes for more)
- ↑ There were only a few families on Sand Creek at that time, and it was the Kickapoo Indians who helped my grandfather to cut trees to build a cabin, and helped him through the first winter. About two or three years later the government removed several northern tribes of Indians and thousands and thousands of Indians followed the Okaw (Kaskaskia) river from Danville south and they camped on the bill on which the Fletcher Chapel Methodist cemetery was located later. It was very near my uncle Joe's place, but grandfather lived on upper Sand Creek about five miles east. My father said the Indians walked single file under army guards, and their weeping and wailing could be beard clear to upper Sand Creek. They were half-starved and people on Sand Creek gave them corn.
Those who camped on the cemetery hill held a Christian service and Rev. Davis from Sand Creek preached for them with an interpreter. Many were less than half Indian, but the entire removal was so horrible that people on Sand Creek wept for the sufferers.
My father wept and grown men wept because the Indians had always been their friends.
