Thomas J. Eagle cast in his lot with the early settlers here in 1869. He was born in Wayne County, Ohio, in 1843 and was a son of John Eagle and a brother of Worth Eagle, of Woodson County. Thomas J. Eagle was a young man when the Civil war was inaugurated and with patriotic spirit he responded to the president's call for aid, enlisting in a regiment of Ohio volunteers. He was afterward transferred to another regiment and served as a private until the cessation of hostilities and the declaration of peace, the Stars and Stripes having been victoriously planted in the capital of the southern Confederacy. In the fall of 1869, Mr. Eagle came to Woodson County and settled in Eminence township, where he secured a tract of wild land which he improved, transforming it into a very valuable farm, supplied with all modern accessories and conveniences such as are found upon the model farms of the twentieth century. In 1896, however, he put aside agricultural pursuits and removed to Topeka, Kansas, where he is now residing, filling the position of secretary and treasurer of the Adventist church. He married Rebecca Jane KahI, a sister of Samuel Kahl, of Woodson County, and by this union were born five children, as follows: Stanford, of this review; Oliver, of Wilson County, Kansas; Arthur, who is living in Neosho County, this state; Daisy, wife of Walter Jefferson, and Fay, who is in Union college, at College View, Nebraska.
