Hiram Blunt was born January 30th, 1835 in Illinois, in what is now Mason county, but at that time a part of Sangamon county, and was the first white child born in that county. He became a follower of Christ December 14th 1849 and lived an earnest loyal Baptist to the close of his life. He was married to Elizabeth Parks February 12th 1857, and seven children were born to them, two of whom preceeded him to the life beyond. The wife of his youth and five children remain to follow him.
Hiram Blunt possessed all the traits that constitute honorable manhood and he was loved and respected by all and will be greatly missed. He was a consistent and active Christian and generously contributed his means and talents to advance the cause of Christianity. He was a long sufferer of chronic bladder disease and bore his affliction with patience and Christian fortitude. The bereaved family has the undivided sympathy of all.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Geo. W. Trout at the Osage Valley Baptist church Monday at 4 o’clock p. m. and the remains laid to rest beside his daughter in the cemetery at the church. No funeral sermon was preached as the deceased had made arrangements with Rev. John W. Sage to preach his funeral and he will do so when he returns from the west".7,2 |

| Biography* | 1874 | ROBERT BLUNT
Page 26
Mr. Blunt was born in the State of Kentucky in 1825. He came to Mason county, Illinois, along with his parents in 1832. He married Miss Mary J. Trailor in 1846. This marriage took place at the residence of George Spears, of Menard county, the Rev. H. P. Curry officiating. Miss Trailor was the daughter of Jesse Trailor by his wife, formerly Miss Obedience Blankenship. This union was fruitful of the following children: George, Frances Honley, wife of Robert Honley, Miss Jennie, Eli H., Miss Mary O., and Miss Julia M. The father of these died May 18th, 1866, with a pulmonary complaint. He continued a citizen of Mason county from the time he came into it up to the time of his death. He made a profession of religion and united with the Mount Zion Baptist church in its constitution, and held a continued membership with this body the remainder of his life, filling for a number of years the office of Deacon. He was a strong missionary in principle, and did much for its various interests. He held a life membership in the Bible Union Society. He was possessed of an uncommonly clear judgment, fine tender feelings, and though very firm in his convictions and actions, he was withal very courteous in his deportment and considerate of the opinions and feelings of others. His mind was very fertile in mechanical invention, which was manifested in the manufacture of such farm implements as emergency suggested. Chief among these inventions was a wheat drill, patented and improved since his death by his son George, and now known as the "Succor Drill." This drill he invented simply for his own and his neighbors' use, without any reference to a patent. Of course it was not at that time what it is now, with its practical improvements, but it nevertheless did good work and met the wants of the community. He also invented a two-horse corn planter about the time Mr. Brown invented his, which did good work, and contained the slide dropper now in use in several styles of machines. The screw dropper of the drill and the slide dropper of the planter are exclusively the invention of Mr. Blunt, and it is right and just to so leave it on record.
Mr. George Blunt, after his father's death, secured a patent-as already remarked, upon his father's wheat drill, and has, at a great expense to himself, improved its practical adaptation to the agricultural features of the West and its mechanical action, until it is now without doubt the best drill offered to the industrious public. It has runners instead of the old-fashioned fluke, and works trashy ground with ease and well. The proprietor still contemplates making every possible improvement, and also taking such measures as will bring this deservedly popular implement properly and extensively before the people, and within easy reach of farmers in general.
Mr. George Blunt is now living on his father's old homestead. He was married September 10th to Miss Alice E., daughter of William and Martha Phelps. Mr. Phelps and family came into Mason county some twelve or fourteen years ago, and is a well-to-do farmer of Crane Creek township. One child, an infant son, George W., born August 21, 1874 blesses this marriage.
Since the death of her husband, Mrs. Blunt has located in Yallula, Menard county, for the purpose of educating her minor children. Eli is now a student in Normal University, Bloomington; Miss Jennie is engaged in teaching in Yallula, and George and Mrs. Honley are residents of Mason county.
The Blunt family are of Irish extraction. Three brothers originally came to the United States from the Emerald Isle before the independence of the States. Their names are now forgotten. One settled in South Carolina, one in Maryland, and the other in New Hampshire. From those have sprung about all in the United States bearing this name. One of the sons of the one that settled in Maryland was named Levi. He moved from his native State to Kentucky in an early day, where he raised a family. Their names are as follows: Mrs. Rebecca Ernest, Thomas, Mrs. Lydia Nance (wife of John Nance), Laban, Samuel and Richard.
Thomas Blunt, George's grandfather, was born on Kent Island, Maryland, before his father's removal to Kentucky. He was raised in Kentucky, where he married Lina Alderson; he moved to Callaway county, Missouri, in 1830, and to Mason county, Illinois, in 1832. He raised seven children: Alberry, Robert, Mrs. Lydia (Henry L.) Samuels, Aaron, Levi, Hiram, and Thomas R.
As a family, the Blunts have been honest, upright and patriotic citizens. They were warm supporters of the union cause during the late rebellion of the South. Religiously they have always inclined toward the Baptist church, of which many of them have been devout members. Thomas and his wife and their son Robert were charter members of the first Baptist church organized in Mason county.2 |
