1908 HISTORY OF FULTON COUNTY ILLINOIS
ADDIS, J. S., who was successfully engaged in the marble and monument business in Canton, Fulton County, Ill., was born in Banner Township, this county, October 11, 1848. He is a son of Aaron D. and Jane E. (Suidan) Addis, natives of New Jersey. Aaron D. Addis and his wife came with a moving wagon to Illinois in 1837. They first located at Fairview, whence they moved to Buckheart Township and afterward to Banner Township. The father died January 23, 1873, and the mother February 6, 1891.

J. S. Addis received his early education in the district schools in the neighborhood of his home, and has spent the greater portion of his life in Fulton County. He engaged in farming until he disposed of most of his interests several years ago, though he still owns some farm land and city property. He established himself in the monument business in Canton in 1895, and conducted that profitable enterprise until 1905, when he sold it and is now living retired in one of the handsomest homes in Canton.

On February 27, 1873, Mr. Addis was married to Emma C. Weller, who was born in New Jersey, June 13, 1852. Five children are the offspring of this union, namely: Luella May, Lottie, Jeane, Blanche M. and Marie. In religion Mr. Addis professes the faith of the Methodist Church. Politically he is a Democrat. He has served as Town Collector and as School Trustee, and for six years was President of the Board of Education of Canton. He is a member of the I. O. O. F., the Star Encampment, the Daughters of Rebekah, the Court of Honor and the Bankers' Life Association.
