Joseph F. Latimer Obituary
Posted 06 Feb 2010 by AnnGu3 (Galesburg Evening Mail, July 18, 1920, Abingdon Page, submitted by Phyllis Long)
Joseph Franklin Latimer was born in Cedar Township, Knox Co., Illinois, April 15, 1840, the fourth son of Jonathon and Nancy West Latimer. His ancestors left England and settled in New London, Conn., in the year 1630. His great grandfather, Jonathon Latimer was Colonel of the seventh Connecticut regiment during the Revolutionary war and several of his sons served under his command. His mother, whose maiden name was West was the daughter of Jacob and Barsheba Polk West, natives of North Carolina. Jacob West was a soldier in the War of 1812, under General Jackson, and his wife was a cousin of President James K. Polk.
Jonathon Latimer, the father of Joseph F. moved from Tennessee, first too Sangamon County, Ill., in 1835 and then in Section M. in Cedar Township, where Joseph F. Latimer was born. As a boy he attended the district school and worked on his father's farm in the summer, until his entrance in Knox college in the fall of 1861.
In the spring of 1863, he enlisted in the 73rd regiment of Illinois Volunteers but was not mustered in on account of a severe attack of lung fever. In 1864, he was granted leave of absence by his college, and with two of his classmates organized a company for the 137th Reg., Ill. Volunteers in which regiment he was commissioned second lieutenant and served until October, when he was mustered out of the service. He was graduated from Knox college, in the class of 1864, returning too Cedar township after the war. He was elected in 1865 as Principal of Cherry Grove Seminary, which position he held for two years and until his election too the Professorship of National Science at Lincoln University, this state. Failing eyesight forced him too resign this position at the end of a year's work, and he then returned too Cedar Township and devoted his time too the care of his farm, and the raising of fine livestock. On November 25, 1872, he was married too Joanna Humiston. Two children were born too this union, Mrs. Latimer departed this life September 3, 1914.
In politics, Mr. Latimer was a Republican and an ardent admirer of Lincoln. But placing country above party he always voted national issues as his conscious dictated. In years 1870 too 1872 he was a member of the 27th Illinois General Assembly, and four years later was again chosen too the Legislature, serving two terms. In the 30th and 31st assemblies he filled the important chairmanship of the committee on township and county organization, discharging the duties of that position in a manner that gave him creditable and state wide recognition. Among other offices - Commander of Post 80, G.A.R., Mayor of Abingdon, school treasure of Cedar township for thirty-nine years, director and vice president of the First National Bank, President of Agriculture Society for 10 years, and for two years chairman of the board of supervisors, president of Illinois Jersey Cattle Club, president of Old Settler's Association. As a breeder of Jersey cattle he was known throughout the United States, and his herd was uniformly successful in state and national competition. Early in life he joined the Cumberland Presbyterian church and was one of the principal movers in changing that organization with the present Congregational church of Abingdon, taking an active part as an officer of the church and being Supt. of the Sunday School a member of years, and always maintaining his interest in the church and of all for which the church stood.
He was also a member of Abingdon Lodge 184, I. O. O. F and a member of Illinois society of the Sons of the American Revolution. As a man and neighbor he was loved, honored and respected for his lofty ideas of true, noble and uprightness. Very few men of this neighborhood loved books more than he did, or read as much and along such various lines as he. And with it all he was approachable by any one and of any social station in life.
At the beginning of this year he sold his beautiful country house just out of Abingdon and moved to town to be as he said - nearer to his church and to other interests of his declining years.
Since March, he was practically an invalid, but on July 3rd, had seemingly regained sufficient strength and attended commemoration of our national Natal day, with his beloved comrade of the G. A. R. in their hall in the city building and again on the 5th, he was one of a large member of friends at a picnic given on his former farm and seemed too enjoy it too the fullest. But when his pastor called on him, just a week ago, he found him in bed, not well at all. And yet although his friends had knowledge of the fact that his ailment was a heart disease, his end came as a shock, when it was said that on Wednesday afternoon, July 13, at 3:30 o'clock Uncle Joe Latimer had passed away.
With him at the time of his departure was his faithful and much beloved housekeeper, Miss Watson and his only daughter, Mrs. Lillian H. Shaufelberger of California, who with the son, Mr. Guy Latimer of Chicago, two brothers, two grandchildren and more distant relatives and a large host of friends will miss him in days too come.
The members of the Post 80, G. A. R. and members of I. O. O. F. attended the funeral in a body.
