Dr. Stephen M. INGERSOLL was a man of original views and much business
enterprise.  He removed quite early to Russell county, nearly opposite Columbus,
and for some years gave the city trouble by his litigation for Alabama rights
which he claimed for the west bank of the river.  He was much liked by the
Indians, and, while he was prompt to inform the Whites of any hostile
demonstrations or intentions by the Red Men, he always opposed any harsh
treatment of the latter.  He acquired considerable property in Russell county,
and had generally on foot some business enterprise in which the public were
interested.  He died two or three years ago, at an age not far short of four
score. [Published 1875; a "score" is twenty years.]
