The funeral occurred at the Warren Presbyterian church, Friday, June 7, Rev. Cook of LeRoy, Ill., a universalist, officiating. Interment was made in the beautiful Elmwood cemetery in Warren. The decendent's father was English, his mother Scotch-Irish and he came from extraordinary sturdy stock. In fact the entire family have been among the hardiest and longest lived people in Jo Daviess county. On May 10, 1827 the Townsend family came west from York state to Gratiot's grove, in what was then termed the Northwest territory, but which is now the state of Wisconsin. The grandfather was a soldier in the Revolutionary was. The father Samuel Townsend was in the was of 1812. When the Black Hawk was broke out in 1832 the father and son displayed their patriotic spirit by enlisting, becoming brave and highly prized soldiers. They took part in all the battles of that cruel war and performed special deeds of daring in the battle of Pecatonica, one of the bloodiest engagements that ever occurred in the history of the northwest. There were fourteen Indians and eighteen white men in the battle and they fired at as close range as eighteen feet. It might be said here that when the family came west six hundred Indians were camped where Gratiot now is. Halstead enlisted in a cavalry regiment under command of Colonel Henry Dodge, who afterward became a general. H.S. Townsend at the close of the Black Hawk war became engaged in lead mining at Dubuque and on January 10, 1836 married Miss Hannah Carver of Fayette county, Indiana. With his young bride he settled on a large farm in Rush township and successfully followed agricultural pursuits until moving to Warren in 1869. Mrs. Townsend died in this city November 24, 1893, after which time the husband made his home with his son, John M., in Rush, spending the winters at Kansas City with his daughter, Mrs. Charles Campbell. Mr. Townsend was one of the builders of Jo Daviess county and was often placed in offices of trust by his appreciative fellow citizens. He served as a member of the board of supervisors for twelve years and was twice elected to the general assembly in which body he succeeded in having passed measures of great public benefit. He was a valued member of that honorable body whose silent charities are its best monument-the A. F. and A. M.-and complying with his especial request his brethern of Jo Daviess lodge No. 278 conducted the last rites at the tomb. To Mr. and Mrs. Townsend were born ten children. eight of whom survive: Robert K., El Reno Oklahoma; Edward E., Samuel H., Matilda (Mrs. Charles Hooker) and Serilda (Mrs. James Manley) of Maryville, Missouri; John M., Stockton, Illinois; Cynthia A.
