This organization took place at the Nevitt school house, southwest of Gilson two and one-half miles. The following officers were elected: William M. Clarke, Supervisor; Woodford Pierce, Clerk; Isaac Lott, Assessor; Joseph Harshbarger, Collector; Jacob Wolf, Overseer of the Poor; John S. Linn and Enoc Godfrey, Justices of the Peace; George Pickrel and William Lewis, Constables; Milton Lotts, Allen T. Rambo and Benoni Simpkins, Commissioners of Highways. The present officers follow C.H. Upp, Supervisor; Clark H. Snow, Assessor; C.C. Dossett, Overseer of Poor; C.H. Upp (by virtue of office) Justice of Peace; Earl Snell, Constable; John Housh and H.L. Connor, Commissioner of Highways, Ben Taylor. With my limited knowledge, prior to 1865, I am unable to give the location of the first farm and how cultivated, but I should judge that the method of cultivation was principally by the one and two-horse cultivators, as a great many of these settlers were from Ohio and there they had to use the one and two-horse cultivators, on account of stumps and roots in the ground. Much improvement has been made in this part of the country in the farming line in the manner of preparing the seed bed before planting or sowing the seed. The farm tractor is just now coming into use in Haw Creek. It may eventually take the place of horses in the extra heavy, hard and hot work. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/il/county/knox/annuals_knox_8.htm
