Author: Portrait/Bio Album, Whiteside County IL 1885

Cornelius Bachellor, farmer, residing on section 12, Montmorency Township, is 
a son of Ebenezer and Hannah (Ellis) Bachellor. They were married and settled 
in Vermont, where the mother died. Cornelius was the only child born of his 
parents' union, and was born in Essex, Chittenden Co., Vt, Aug. 30, 1829. Four 
years after that event, in 1833, his father moved to Ohio, his mother having 
previously died. In the latter State he passed his years of minority, working 
on his father's farm and attending the common schools. In 1856, Mr. Bachellor 
purchased 80 acres of land in Montmorency Township, this county. From 1857 to 
1861 he resided at Rock Falls, and during the latter year moved on his land in 
Montmorency Township. He erected good substantial farm buildings on his land, 
and entered vigorously and actively upon its cultivation. By energetic effort 
and good management Mr. Bachellor has increased his landed possessions in the 
county to 240 acres, one-half of which is in a good tillable condition. Mr. 
Bachellor was united in marriage, in Licking Co., Ohio, April 8, 1852, to 
Tabitha MacClintic, daughter of James and Elizabeth (Frank) MacClintic, 
natives of Ireland and Virginia. The parents settled in Ohio, where the father 
died. The mother afterward came to this county and died in Rock Falls, Aug. 
30, 1877. The issue of their union was one child, Mrs. Bachellor. She was born 
in Columbiana Co., Ohio, Jan. 29, 1831. Mr. and Mrs. Bachellor are the parents 
of eight children, namely: Mary E., William A., Cordelia, Martin R., Ida M., 
Clarence, Charles and Lewis. The two latter are deceased. Mr. Bachellor has 
been Highway Commissioner, School Trustee and Overseer of Highways in his 
township. Politically, he is identified with tenets of the Democratic party.
