John c. Ford Revo,utionized One In
dustry by His lnventlv.
Faculties Of
Mind.
PERFECTED MACHINERY
Perfected Machinery for Making Pa
per Collars and Machine
for Making Barbed
Wire.

John G. Ford, who lies, dead at his
home. 1904 Concert street, was me-
chanical genius OF no uncertain abil-
ity 1t was a trait Of his family for
the first saw mill and frs grist mill
built in the country was In the Puri-
tan settlement at Plymouth. Mass,
and was bull. by William Ford
During fifty years OF activity as a
machinist, mechanic and pattern
maker he has proved himself able to
solve the most difficult mechanical
problems Perhaps his most impor-
tan. work in the light OF today was
perfecting the machine for making
barbed wire. He made the machine
practical by improvements introduc,
ing the positive feed principle and
this principle Is still used.
1t is long cry from 1921 10 1907,
but instincts and heredity are indy
ing forces, and John c. Ford in the
twentieth century has done greater
work in his day than did the William
Ford of the seventeenth century In
providing the colonies with mills for
life's necessities.
Mr.. Ford began early in life as a
mechanic and served frs. with Bos-
ton, Mass, com panies When the
war broke out he entered the army
and served two years. After leaving
the army he took charge of the ma
chinery in shop where they We're
trying unsuccessfully 10 make paper
collars and soon perfected the ma
chinery so it would do the work.
From there he went to Chickering e
Son o. Boston. the famous piano max
ers and had charge Of all the machin-
cry used in their grea. plant.
He next went to Montreal, Canada,
where he lived for fifteen years and
then came to Chicago and Joliet, Ill
From there he went to Pittsburgh
Pa, where for three years he was
superintendent of the Scu.t Wire
company. In 1884 he went to ST.
Louis where he won the reputation
OF being the most skilled mechanic
in the city. Mr.. Ford came here to
make a printing machine for rolled
paper at the behest OF Mr.. William
Rees. From here his work led him
to Quincy. $50
In all Mr.. Ford's work is seen in
genuity and resourcefulness. 1t seems
as though he had intuitive knowlet
of how to make machine do the
work it was intended to do. He has
not figured largely as an inventor OF
new devices but has been principally
engaged in perfecting the devices OF
others and putting them in working
condition.
Mr.. Ford's many friends knew him
as diligent and generous, good sol
| der a workman endowed with great
genius, a friend noble and true Only
the night before his death, Mr. Ford's
daughter Mrs. r. S. Brown of shis
city had babe him goodnight and he
appeared to be as we'll as usual. Five
years ago Mr.. Ford's children gather
ed to celebrate the golden wedding
anniversary OF their parents. Aside
from Mrs Brown the surviving chill
dren are Mrs n T.. Greaves of Mon
treal. Canada. w. S. Ford, Dalhars

Pollok seeing that he was about to
