Recollections of Henry Holt
A biographical sketch of Henry HOLT of Patoka township found in the Centralia Sentinel on March 6, 1888, provides local historians with a most colorful and accurate account of life in the earliest days of Marion County. "Harmon HOLT, father of Henry HOLT, was originally a Georgian, and with his family moved to the north in the year 1817. He landed in St. Louis, and not being well pleased with the surroundings, removed to Washington County, this state, and after a short sojourn there and in Clinton County near Carlyle, moved into Marion County. Here he located permanently, having secured a location in Patoka township, some two miles east of what is now known as Vernon." Brinkerhoff’s History of Marion County states that Harmon Holt was the first man to settle in Patoka township in 1826.
"Henry HOLT, the subject of this sketch, was then seven years old when his family came north, having been born in Georgia, December 30, 1810. At the time his father settled in this county, the country was in its wildest state, there being very few scattering settlements in the surrounding counties. The land was like a wilderness, the prairie grass reaching the shoulders of a man on horseback, and the timber almost impassable, owing to the dense undergrowth.
"At that period there were still a number of Indians in Illinois, and the settlers were compelled to keep their firearms in readiness at all times to protect their homes and families against the depredations of the redskins; but filled with the energy which is vastly shown in his son, Harmon HOLT determined to use it to advantage in this wild Illinois prairie.
"Since that time Henry HOLT has been a permanent resident of Patoka township. Here he has passed the bright days of boyhood, the mixed period of middle life, and drifted into old age with many happy reflections of the past, and yet is a fair specimen of good health, though age tells how soon his labors here may terminate. He is a man who cannot help but interest whoever may be in his presence and length of time. He was not in early days blessed with even a common school education. What little book learning he did receive was given him through the inconvenient access of a tutor several miles distant, and when log cabins served in the place of what are now pleasant school buildings.
"His memory is more vivid with regard to events of the early days than of a more recent period, and he can relate many pleasing incidents in connection with his early life, both private and public, and seems pleased with recounting them.
"In conversation with your correspondent, he mentioned the fact that where Salem now stands was the scene of one of the last Indian breakouts in Southern Illinois (Note: Actually the skirmish took place east of Salem in Stevenson township. Dr. Ross), there being a number of the now almost extinct tribe of Black Hawk followers in the locality, and they became hostile toward the whites whom they considered were encroaching somewhat on the rights of the redman. Hence the settlers became aware that they were not safe, and the authorities at St. Louis were notified. A band of rangers were sent here, and after skirmishing, the Indians were driven to the west, leaving the whites in full possession of their former hunting grounds.
"Mr. HOLT was married in 1832 to Miss Sally NICHOLS near the old Zion Camp Grounds east of Patoka. He relates the ups and downs of his married life from first to last with variations, covering a period of 53 years; his wife having died January 21, 1885. Though their hardships were many owing to the disadvantages with which they had to contend, their union was one of great pleasure and abundantly successful. They were blessed with a family of 10 children, four girls and six boys; tow of the former and four of the latter having crossed the mystic stream, while the remainder are still living in this county with the exception of one son in the far west.
"The aged gentleman occupies the old home farm, living with the family of his son William, and is passing his final days with all the comforts adequate to his happiness, spending a great portion of his time visiting among those of his family left to comfort him in his declining days."

On 20 Sep 1945, the Kinmundy Express (Kinmundy, Marion County, Illinois) has, "Pvt. Perry Leonard NEAVILLE arrived here Saturday morning to spend a 30 day furlough with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Perry NEAVILLE. He has spent the past 16 months in Africa and Italy. Pvt. NEAVILLE entered the service Feb. 5, 1943, and shipped overseas April 13, 1944, landing in Oran Africa. From there he went to Italy where he remained until he sailed for the states on Sept. 1, landing at Hampton Roads on Sept. 10. Pvt. NEAVILLE wears the Good Conduct Medal, the Combat Infantryman’s Badge and the European Theater of Operations Ribbon with 3 stars, representing the battles of the Arno River, Po Valley and Galtic Line. He was a member of a Rifle Co., Co. E., 363rd Infantry, 91st Division. Very little publicity was given to the fighting our boys did in Italy. But here is a copy of a news broadcast by Robert St. John, war correspondent for the National Broadcasting Co., on March 23, 1945. We reproduce it to show our readers that there are several unsung heros, who never received any recognition of their heroic deeds. One morning (on the Italian front) the mist was drifting up from the valleys, forming a strange curtain, which hung over everything! It hid the hills in the background, completely, and it shrouded the valleys, as if with great folds of shimmery gauze!! The men in the American patrol had to squint and strain their eyes to see on the rocky ridge ahead of them, the 3 squat pillboxes in which they knew that a goodly number of enemy soldiers were waiting them. But then, the morning mist was pierced by angry tongues of orange flame, tongues of flame being shot out of those Nazi pillboxes at the American patrol. An American officer barked a command. "Let’s rush them!" At that signal, American hand grenades smacked against the tiny German forts. Soon cries of pain and of fear split the chill morning air. And before long, the boys of that American patrol heard the word, "Kammerad". Then, the enemy soldiers came piling of those pillbox exits and from the dugouts behind them. They raised their hands in the air, and soon were on their way to the rear of the American lines. The patrol (from the 91st Division’s 363rd Infantry, had thoroughly surprised that enemy outpost. But for 9 members of the patrol, the day’s work had only begun. What happened to them is a story which NBC’s Grant Farr has just sent me. It’s a story of 9 weary young Americans who spent one solid day in a situation from which not one of them ever expected to come out alive. In the great sweep of battle, it was just an "incident" - something which never will get into History Books. But as I tell you the story, imagine yourself, as one of them! It started when the commander of that patrol said he wanted 9 good men to occupy those cleaned out dugouts, beyond the cement forts, and to hold them - to hold them until they got orders they could retire! He looked around from someone to take charge and his eyes fell on Staff Sergeant James L. WOOD of Muskegon, Mich. He knew that the Sergeant was the man for the job, and Jimmy WOOD picked some good teammates. Let me read you their names, because they deserve some credit. First there was Technical Sergeant Jim PFAU of Kalamazoo, Mich., and 2 plain Sergeants - Jose GARCIA of Kingsville, Texas, and Dick GARRETTSON of Ocean City, N.J. Next, he picked Private First Class Ralph W. SMITH of Muskogee, Okla., and PFC Perry NEAVILLE of Kinmundy, Ill., and PFC Tom CARLIN of Cleveland, Ohio. The volunteer party was rounded out by Privates Harry P. BOWEN of Fletcher, Okla. and Jimmy BRANCH of Black Mountain, N.C. That makes 9 ordinary Americans from towns scattered all over the United States. Following orders, they took up their positions in the captured dugouts. And then - the mist and fog lifted, and there they were exposed in broad daylight to the vengeance of the enemy, up in the hills. And it wasn’t but a few minutes before the enemy began to let them have it! Shells began to burst all around them. Sergeant Jimmy WOOD told them to keep their heads down and then he began to talk to headquarters over his portable radio. He didn’t just talk to make conversation. He was watching where those shells were coming from and thus directing Allied Artillery and Mortar Fire against the enemy’s positions. He and his 8 companions had the pleasure of seeing a number of those enemy guns put out of commission as a result of that radio reporting! But the situation those 9 men were in was not a pretty one. No life insurance man in his right mind would have considered them very good risks. But in the dugouts they’d found some machine guns which the Germans had left behind in their fight. And because their training had been so good, they knew all about how to operate them. So they set to work and rigged them up and before long had them trained on the enemy positions. After that all 9 of them felt quite a bit better. German shells and bullets continued to come over but at least they were able to talk back! Hours went by. It finally percolated through the heads of the 9 Americans that they were completely cut off from their own forces - that they were alone, that they were isolated there in those dugouts, so close to the Nazi front. And they knew that to try to move would mean certain death! Suddenly there was a noise up ahead in the brush in front of the dugouts. One of the boys shouted that it must be a German Attack, but Sergeant Jimmy WOOD knew what it was all about. He had seen the trick tried before. He explained it to his comrades that it was probably just a German sniper tossing stones into their dugouts, in the hope that some of them would lift their heads to take a look - and when they did - he’s clip them off, and so Sergeant Jimmy yelled out (for anyone to hear who understood English) - "No sir. We’re not biting this time!" More hours dragged by and now, it was almost dusk. Suddenly Sergeant got busy with the radio. When he finished his excited conversation with headquarters, he put the radio down and gathered his 8 men around him. "Listen. We’re going to get out of her afterall. Our own batteries are going to come lay down a red hot barrage all around us. That will keep the Jerries busy. Then our guns will lay off for a moment. (They’ll tell us by radio exactly when they’ll cease firing), and that is when we move. We’ll go 2 at a time and fast, okay? Get it?" They were still talking about the idea when the American guns suddenly began to roar. Shells - American shells - were landing all around them. I went on for quite a while and then - as suddenly as it had all started - the guns became silent. In the brief lull, all 9 of them scampered to safety - back to the American lines. As they rejoined their own unit, they turned and looked back. What they saw made them realize they had gotten out of those dugouts just in time. The Nazis were lobing hundreds of deadly hand grenades into those very holes in the ground in which they had spent the entire day. But now it was too late. They were safe, 9 young Americans from towns scattered all over the country - safe without a scratch after living hours and hours in the very center of No-Man’s Land. (A picture of Perry NEAVILLE accompanied this article)"
On 14 Feb 1946, the Kinmundy Express (Kinmundy, Marion County, Illinois) has, "On last Tuesday in Salem, occurred the marriage of Elizabeth WHITE of Meacham twp. and Perry Leonard NEAVILLE of this city. They are living on the Victoria JACKSON farm north of town."
On 11 Aug 1949, the Kinmundy Express (Kinmundy, Marion County, Illinois) has, "Three Cases of Polio Reported for Kinmundy During Past Week: Three cases of polio were reported here that past week, the first to strike our community. On Friday, Miss Zola BARBEE, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Guy BARBEE was taken to Centralia to see a doctor. The doctor pronounced her trouble as a light case of polio, not bad enough to be hospitalized, and she returned to her home that evening. On Sunday, Walter WEISS residing south of town, was taken to the Salem Hospital, where the doctors diagnosed his case as polio. He was taken late Sunday evening to East St. Louis for further examination and treatment. Leonard, the 2-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Perry Leonard NEAVILLE, residing on the Nola YUND farm north of this city, was taken to the Centralia Polio Clinic Tuesday. The doctor reported that the child has had polio and is now getting over it. However, he is a patient in the Clinic receiving therapy treatments."
