James A. Roseberry, a prominent farmer and stock-raiser of Sonora township, represents one of the pioneer families of Illinois, his parents having removed from Kentucky in May, 1832, and located in Adams county, where the father entered land at Columbus, near Quincy. He there engaged in farming until his life's labors were ended in death and there he passed away in 1881, having survived his wife for only five days.
James A. Roseberry, whose name introduces this record, is the eldest in a family of seven sons and two daughters, his birth having occurred
near Louisville, Kentucky, on the 4th of July, 1830. He was only two years of age when brought to Illinois by his parents, the family home being located in Adams county at Columbus, where he acquired his education in the common schools. He remained with his parents until twenty-two years of age and then started out in life on his own account by engaging in the work to which he had been reared. He first operated rented land in Adams county for two years, and on the 25th of April, 1857, arrived in Sonora township, Hancock county, where he purchased eighty acres of land on section 34. This was unimproved when it came into his possession but he at once set to work to develop and cultivate his fields. He also built fences, and erected a dwelling, set out fruit trees and otherwise improved his property. At a later date his first residence was replaced by a larger dwelling and he has now one of the fine country homes of this section of the county, and is engaged in general farming and stock-raising, including horses, cattle and hogs, of which he has good grades.
On the 10th of March, 1854, occurred the marriage of Mr. Roseberry and Miss Emily Jane Payne, a native of Adams county, and a daughter of Henry and Anna (Pounds) Payne, natives of the Blue Grass state. Of this marriage four sons and two daughters were born, namely: William, a resident of Oklahoma; Annie, the wife of Edward Utterback, a resident of Kansas; Henry, of Osceola, Nebraska; Everett and Lincoln, both of Portland, Oregon; and Emma, the wife of Martin Egan, of Hamilton, this state. The mother of these children passed away in December, 1866, and in October, 1868, the father was again married, his second union being with Miss Mary Roseberry, a native of Adams county, Illinois and a daughter of John and Mary (McElhenny) Roseberry. The surviving son of this marriage is Edward, who assists in the operation of the farm, while the daughter, Cora, became the wife of Frank Nowles, of Almira, Washington, and died in 1904, leaving one son and three daughters.
Mr. Roseberry supports the Republican party and has served as school director and trustee, but aside from being interested in the educational
development of his community has taken no active interest in public office. His religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Christian church at Sonora. He has worked earnestly and persistently in his efforts to accumulate a good property, for, though starting out in life without capital he is today in possession of an excellent farm on which are found all modern improvements, and by honesty and fair dealing
has won a place among the highly esteemed residents of this portion of the state. Since the above was written Mr. Roseberry has passed away, his death occurring at the home place on October, 20, 1906, and is buried a Curry cemetery in Sonora township. (This cemetery is Oak Grove, Currey being the name used by morticians, and is also known as Golden Point due to it's proximety to the Golden Point Christian Church)
