Jacob spawr, Of Lexington, Claims
Longest Residence in Illinois.

Longest Residence in Illinois.
Bloomington, ILL.,. Jan. a. Jacob
Spawn last night completed 100 years of
existence. Surrounded by his friends and
reighbors at his home In Lexington, he
received congratulations. Not only is his
long period of life worthy Of special no.
tice, but he claims to have lived longer
in Illinois than any other citizen. COM
ing to Mclean county in 1926 from
Pennsylvania, where he was born on
Jan. "a. 1902. he settled north of this city,
and has lived there for seventy-six
years.
It is difficult to realize the picture that
Illinois presented in 1926. when Mr..
Spawr first arrived. He recalls that he
rode over hundreds of miles of prairie,
days passing without seeing a single log
cabin or other sign Of civilization. He
saw Indian villages where thriving cities
are now located, the red men far out
numbering the whites. The face OF the
country, unbroken by roads, he has seen
transformed by the mighty agency of
man. Chicago. then two weeks distant,
is now brought within three hours ride.
When Mr.. Spawr decided to marry
eliza Trimmer no license to wed could
be secured nearer than Vandalia, and he
Eosted notices on tree. The Clergyman
who tied the knot decided that the union
was legal. Mr.. Spawr opened the first
tavern in Mclean county and carried
on this business for sixty years. He FREE
quently entertained Abraham Lincoln,
David Davis, Leonard SWEET and other
of the pioneer era.

CAME TOO LATE.
The Late bishop Lehman Appointed
Bishop of Siou. City See.

The Late bishop Lehman Appointed
Bishop of Sioux City See.
1t is announced from Sioux City that
the late Bishop Thomas Matthias Leni-
han, who died recently in this city at the
home of his brother, had been appoint
ed from Rome to be bishop of the Sioux
City see, but that the bull announcing
his promotion did not come until after
Bishop Lenihan's demise. The Sioux
City Tribune says of the appointment:
The first bishop o., the diocese OF
Sioux City was Rt. Rev Thomas M.
Lenihan, D. D.. late bishop of Cheyenne.
1t is now made public upon the highest
authority that the bull announcing the
appointment of the eminent divine had
been sent and arrived in the country
after the prelate had passed beyond
reach OF earthly preference and earthly
honors. Rev. Father D. w Moriarity,
pastor OF st. Agnes Church, in South
Omaha, formerly the largest congrega-
ton of the Catholic church in Nebraska,
stated this morning that there was no
doubt but Bishop Lehman had been APP
pointed; the papers had arrived too late.
This will necessitate the sending of
three new names he remarked, and 1t
may be that neither DR.. Garrigan nor
Father Cleary, the two named with
Bishop Lehman. will be so honored
again. No. / have heard of no call for
a meeting of the bishops and things
seem to be resting very quiet just now
"Rt Rev Thomas Matthias Lehman.
D. D.. died in Marshalltown December
Is, 1901, of heart trouble after a long
sickness He was 81 years of age and
consecrated bishop of Cheyenne in 1897
1t was his ambition to become bishop
of Sioux City, as it was in Iowa he had
lived most of his life, and where his
greatest success had been attained, and
it is pitiful he never knew his ambition
was realized
