# Wilcox Township, Hancock County, Illinois

Wilcox Township was a township in Hancock County, Illinois, USA. As of the 2010 census, its population was 189 and it contained 82 housing units. It was formed from the rural portion of Warsaw Township on November 15, 1855, when that township became co-extensive with the city of Warsaw. In November 2016, the township voted to merge with Rocky Run Township due to low population. It is now part of Rocky Run-Wilcox Township.

## Geography

According to the 2010 census, the township has a total area of 21.04 square miles (54.5 km$^2$), of which 20.12 square miles (52.1 km$^2$) (or 95.63%) is land and 0.92 square miles (2.4 km$^2$) (or 4.37%) is water.

### Cemeteries

The township contains Green Plains Cemetery.

# Wildlife of Afghanistan

"none" is preferred when the title is sufficiently descriptive; see [[WP:SDNONE]] Afghanistan has long been known for diverse wildlife. Many of the larger mammals in the country are categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as globally threatened. These include the snow leopard, Marco Polo sheep, Siberian musk deer, markhor, urial, and the Asiatic black bear. Other species of interest are the ibex, the gray wolf, and the brown bear, striped hyenas, and numerous bird of prey species. Most of the Marco Polo sheep and ibex are being poached for food, whereas wolves, snow leopards and bears are being killed for damage prevention.
A leopard was recorded by a camera-trap in Bamyan Province in 2011. The long-lasting conflict in the country badly affected both predator and prey species, so that the national population is considered to be small and severely threatened. Between 2004 and 2007, a total of 85 leopard skins were seen being offered in markets of Kabul. Contemporary records do not exist for any of the smaller cat species known to have been present in the country, all of which were threatened already in the 1970s by indiscriminate hunting, prey depletion and habitat destruction.

## Extinct wildlife

The Asiatic cheetah is considered to be extirpated in Afghanistan since the 1950s. Two cheetah skins were seen in markets in the country, one in 1971, and then in 2006. The latter was reportedly from Samangan Province.
The Caspian tiger used to occur along the upper reaches of Hari-Rud near Herat to the jungles in the lower reaches of the river until the early 1970s.
Uncertain is the historical presence of the Asiatic lion in the country, as locality records are not known. It is thought to have been present in southwestern and southern Afghanistan. In March 2017, the Afghan Border Police (ABP) seized six white lions at the Wesh–Chaman border crossing in Spin Boldak before being smuggled into neighboring Pakistan. The origin of the lions was unclear at first, but the ABP said that they were from Africa. In April 2017, four of the lions were taken to Kabul Zoo. The other two were still somewhere in Kandahar Province.
# Wilhelm Uhthoff

Wilhelm Uhthoff (31 July 1853 – 21 March 1927) was a German ophthalmologist born in Klein-Warin.
In 1877 earned his doctorate at the University of Berlin, and later became a professor of ophthalmology at the Universities of Marburg (1890) and Breslau (1896), where he succeeded Carl Friedrich Richard Förster (1825–1902).
Uhthoff specialized in the study of ophthalmological disorders that were related to the central nervous system. In 1890 he described a condition of temporary vision loss linked to physical exercise, and associated with optic neuritis. This condition was to become known as Uhthoff's phenomenon, and was later found to be caused by a rise in body temperature.
In 1915 he published a treatise titled Augensymptome bei Grosshirntumoren in which gave an early description of a neuro-ophthalmic disorder that was to become known as Foster Kennedy syndrome. However, the disease was to be named after Robert Foster Kennedy (1884–1952), who provided a more comprehensive (and earlier) account of the disorder.

# Wilhelm Ule

Wilhelm Ule, sometimes referred to as Willi Ule (9 May 1861 in Halle an der Saale – 13 February 1940) was a German geographer and limnologist. He was the son of science writer Otto Eduard Vincenz Ule (1820-1876).
He studied mathematics and geography in Berlin and Halle, where he graduated in 1888 with a dissertation on the lakes of Mansfeld, Die Mansfelder Seen. The following year he obtained his habilitation with a study on the depth ratios of Masurian lakes. In 1889 he also became managing director of the Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.
In 1907 he became an associate professor at the University of Rostock, where in 1919 he was appointed full professor. He was editor of the Geographischen Arbeite and the Mitteilungen der geographischen Gesellschaft zu Rostock (Releases of the Geographical Society of Rostock). Ule is sometimes referred to as "the founder of geography in Mecklenburg".
With Swiss scientist François-Alphonse Forel (1841-1912), he was co-creator of the "Forel-Ule scale", a method used for obtaining an approximate measurement of surface water color.

# William Alexander Ayton

William Alexander Ayton (28 April 1816 – 1 January 1909) was a British Anglican clergyman with an interest in alchemy. He was Vicar of Chacombe (in Northamptonshire) from 1873 to 1894. In 1894 he retired on a small pension, and he died at Saffron Walden (in Hertfordshire) in 1909. He translated from Latin the life of John Dee written by Thomas Smith.
He is generally thought to have been a member of the shadowy Society of Eight founded in 1883. He became a member of the successor Order of the Golden Dawn. He was a supporter of the reforms of Arthur Edward Waite, which split the Order as the Holy Order of the Golden Dawn and the Stella Matutina.
Ayton became a vegetarian in 1868 after visiting the family of his friend Joseph Wallace. Ayton converted to Wallace's dietary system.

# Willaston Hall

Willaston Hall is a country house in the village of Willaston, near Nantwich, in the unitary authority of Cheshire East, England.
It was built for John Bayley in about 1700, and re-fronted for him in 1737. Wings were added to the house in 1833 and in 1838. It is constructed in red brick with painted ashlar dressings and a tiled roof. The central block has two storeys and an attic, and is in three bays. At its corners are chamfered quoins. Four steps lead up to a door with a stone surround and a pediment. The lateral wings have two storeys and a single bay. The parapet of the house is surmounted by urns. De Figueirdo and Treuherz express the opinion that the best room in the house, dating from 1737, is to the right of the entrance. This contains a fireplace with "two homely maidens, Night and Day, one with eyes closed, the other open, each with one hand cupping an ample breast, support the mantel, and in the centre is the head of Apollo within a sunburst". The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.

# William Cochran (physicist)

William (Bill) Cochran FRS FRSE (30 July 1922 – 28 August 2003) was a Scottish physicist. He is best known for "pioneering contributions to the science of X-ray crystallography", for which he was awarded the Hughes Medal in 1978.

## Biography

Bill Cochran was born in Scotland and educated at Boroughmuir High School in Edinburgh. He studied physics at the University of Edinburgh. He completed his PhD under Arnold Beevers in the Chemistry Department in X-ray crystallography of sucrose using isomorphous replacement. He moved to the University of Cambridge to work with Lawrence Bragg, and obtained tenure in 1951. He realised that isomorphous replacement was the key to solving protein structures. With Francis Crick, he invented methods for deducing helical patterns from crystallographic data, which ultimately led to the solution of the structure of DNA.
Cochran went on to study neutron diffraction with Bertram Brockhouse and used lattice dynamics and to explain the phenomenon of ferroelectricity in terms of lattice instabilities. This was tested by his students Stuart Pawley, Roger Cowley and Richard Nelmes. This idea was also advanced around the same time by Philip Anderson, but Cochran credits Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman and Negundagi with the original idea. Cochran's basic idea is that on cooling from a high temperature state, symmetry breaking can occur.
Cochran returned to Edinburgh in 1964 as Chair of Natural Philosophy. His monograph The Dynamics of Atoms in Crystals was published in 1973. He became Head of Department in 1975 and was instrumental in the merger of the Natural Philosophy and Mathematical Physics departments. He was vice-principal from 1984 to 1987.
Cochran also received an Honorary Doctorate from Heriot-Watt University in 1992.
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in March 1962 and won their Hughes Medal in 1978. He won the Howard N. Potts Medal of the Franklin Institute in 1985.
Cochran died from motor neurone disease in 2003.
# William Gordon Bennett

Sir William Gordon Bennett (19 February 1889 – 5 October 1982) was Unionist Party (Scotland) MP for Glasgow Woodside from 1950 to 1955.
Bennett saw military during the First World War, during which he was wounded. He was an officer in the Tank Corps at some point.
Bennett was a member of the Glasgow Royal Exchange and of the Glasgow Trades House. He was a magistrate and member of the Glasgow Corporation. He was president of the Scottish Unionist Association.
He contested Glasgow Shettleston in July 1945 before winning at Glasgow Woodside in 1950.
He was knighted in 1955 "for political and public services".
# William Hanson (cricketer)

William Thomas Daniel Hanson (born 21 April 1982) is an English cricketer. Hanson is a right-handed batsman who fields as a wicket-keeper. He was born in Leicester, Leicestershire.
While studying for his degree at Durham University, Hanson made his first-class debut for Durham UCCE against Nottinghamshire in 2003. He made two further first-class appearance in 2003, against Durham and Lancashire. In his three first-class matches, he scored 13 runs at an average of 6.50, with a high score of 9 not out. Behind the stumps he took 5 catches and made a single stumping.
In 2006, he made his debut for Devon in the 2006 MCCA Knockout Trophy against Wales Minor Counties. The following year he made a further appearance for Devon in that competition against Berkshire, which was his final appearance for Devon.
He is currently a sports and cricket coach at St Paul's School, London.
# William Hanson Dodge

William Hanson Dodge (March 5, 1866 – February 1, 1932) was an American photographer in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, living in Lowell, Massachusetts. His son, Harold F. Dodge, a noted mathematician, was a pioneer in the field of statistical quality control. William Dodge was employed by the Lowell Manufacturing Company; this firm was later purchased by the Bigelow Carpet Company. His work as a designer and color mixer was augmented by his hobby: photography. Dodge was a skilled photographer: in 1894 he won a bronze medal at a competition in New York City for a composition entitled “Winter.” This photo appears in W. I. Lincoln Adams's book Sunlight and Shadow, where it was included as an example of “successful landscape work”; other photographers whose work is featured in the book include Alfred Stieglitz and H. P. Robinson. Later that year, another of his photographs at an exhibition in New York, “December Morning,” was highly praised by a reviewer in American Amateur Photographer.
Another activity for Dodge was bicycle racing. Winning many ribbons as a racer, he belonged to the Spindle City Club, of Lowell, Massachusetts, taking many long trips with this group. He also served as a referee and official at races throughout the region during the 1890s. During these years, Dodge was also active in the Knights of Pythias, a men's fraternal organization, serving as chancellor and master of works.
In the early twentieth century, William Dodge turned to politics. He was elected to the Lowell Common Council in 1903. In 1905 he was elected president of the council, a year-long position, after which he served on the Board of Aldermen for a year.
Around 1910 William Dodge moved to Detroit, where he opened a business selling X-ray equipment to doctors and hospitals. His sales trips frequently took him to Chicago. He died in Detroit on February 1, 1932.
# William Henn

William Henn (c. 1720 – 1796) was an Irish judge, who is remembered now mainly for the somewhat malicious description of him in Sir Jonah Barrington's Personal Sketches.

## Life

He was born at Ballynacally, County Clare, second son of Thomas Henn of Paradise Hill. The Henn family, who were originally from London, had acquired large estates in Clare in the 17th century. They had a long association with the law: Henry Hene, or Henn, who is generally thought to have been William's direct ancestor, was Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer 1680–1687. John Bennett, William's colleague on the Court of King's Bench, was a cousin.
William entered Middle Temple in 1738, took his degree as Bachelor of Arts from Trinity College Dublin in 1740, was called to the Irish Bar in 1744 and became King's Counsel in 1762. He was made a justice of the Court of King's Bench (Ireland) in 1768 and remained on the Bench until 1791. He died in Dublin in 1796.

## Reputation

Jonah Barrington called him a "very excellent private character" but did not rate his judicial qualities at all highly. According to Barrington, Henn was "dreadfully puzzled" when he was hearing a case while on assize at Wexford in about 1789 by the arguments of two young barristers, each of whom pleaded with great eloquence that the law was in his client's favour. Having argued their contradictory positions at length, they requested the judge to give his ruling. Henn, at a loss to know which side was in the right, whispered to his registrar: "I wish to God I knew what the law really was!", to which the registrar replied that if he knew what the law was, he would happily share his knowledge with the judge.
John Scott, 1st Earl of Clonmell, who presided in the King's Bench where Henn was a junior judge, had a very low opinion of him, calling him "at best a fool". Admittedly Scott in his diary privately expressed his contempt for nearly all the Irish judges of his time, including some with whom he was outwardly friendly: Henn's cousin John Bennett was one whom Scott saw as his particular enemy.

## Family

William Henn married Elizabeth Parry, of whose parents and family background little seems to be known; he was the father of three daughters and one son, William Henn junior, a Master in Chancery. The younger William married Susaana Lovett, sister of Sir Jonathan Lovett, 1st Baronet, of Liscombe House, Buckinghamshire, and had six children, including Jonathan Henn, a barrister, who is best remembered for prosecuting John Mitchel. Sir Charles Villiers Stanford, the famous conductor and composer, was his descendant in the next generation, the son of Jonathan's sister Mary "a lady of great charm and good manners", who married John James Stanford.
