   Green Hadlock, on of the successful tillers of the soil, was
born in what is now Tazewell County, Ill., May 18, 1831, and is
the second of eight children, six sons and two daughters, born to
Samuel and Eliza (Owen) Hadlock, natives, respectively, of 
New York and Connecticut.  The father was born in 1802 and the 
mother in 1810.  When young, they moved with their parents to Ohio,
where they attained their growth, were married, and there remained
until 1830, when they removed to Woodford County, Ill., and, in 
1858, to this county, where they settled on the farm now owned 
by their son, Green Hadlock.  In Illinois Mr. Hadlock ran a mill 
for about fifteen years, though his chief occupation was farming.  
Politically he was a Whig, but was afterward a Republican.  He was
a man very fond of the chase, and quite a successful hunter.  
He died in 1886, and the mother in 1874.  At the age of twenty-one
Green Hadlock began for himself, by farming, and this continued
for some time.  He was married, November 24, 1858, to Miss Maria
Gunn, a native of Woodford County, Ill., born March 22, 1835.  
Her parents came to this State in 1838.  To Mr. and Mrs. Hadlock
were born nine children, six now living: Owen, H. Clay, Mary A.,
Clara, Emma, and Effie. During the war Mr. Hadlock served a short
time in Company F, Twenty-sixth Missouri Enrolled Militia, and,
after serving a month, he was promoted to the rank of second
lieutenant.  While in Illinois he was revenue collector of his
township.  He is the owner of 240 acres of land, with 160 under
cultivation.  When he started out in life he had but little means,
but by his own industry he has become one of the substantial
farmers of the county.  He is a Republican politically, and is
a member of the G. A. R.
