CROSS RON. ROBERT J. (Deceased), whose portrait appears in this work, was born in Newburg, Orange Co., N. Y., on the first day of October, 1803, and during his years of minority resided mostly in Bethel, Sullivan Co., of that State. When about 22 years of age, he, with a younger brother, decided to emigrate to the then tar West, and going to Detroit, purchased a farm in Tecumseh, Lenawe Co., Mich., where he remained until 1830. He and his brother then sold out and removed to Coldwater , Mich. , where they remained until June, 1835, when he came to his present residence in Winnebago Co., Illinois , where he continually resided until his death. The next year he married Miss Hannah Benedict, of Monroe Co., N. Y., who still survives him. At the time Cross came to Roscoe, no land was in market and he was forced to purchase a squatter's ri ght to his present farm, and as some of the land in Wisconsin was subject to entry in the Green Bay land district, he selected some along the Rock river from Janesville to Beloit, and on foot and alone he made his way to Green Bay, through an unbroken wilderness, and bought his land in Wisconsin. From thence via the lakes he returned to Detroit and Coldwater, and in the fall of that year became the occupant of the present homestead. Mr. Cross was essentially a pioneer—a man of strong frame of body, of unyielding tenacity for the right; even in boy­ hood the champion of the feeble, or those he deemed oppressed.

He was a stalwart oak, on whom could ever lean the feeble and the frail—as Minister E. B. Washburn declared, a "Noble Old Roman." A farmer all his life, and yet a firm, reliable business man, as a life constantly occupied in public affairs proved him to be. Yet he was ever as tender in heart as a little child, and his sympathy was even larger than his frame, or his purse; and truly was it said of him, "those who knew him best, loved him most."

During his residence of 36 years in this County, Mr. Cross was closely and intimately identified with its development, politically, socially and materially, never being backward in anything that would aid in its moral or religious advancement. A warm friend of education, he always lent a willing hand to aid in building school houses and establishing schools.

Mr. Cross assisted at the organization of the county, being a member of the election board for the first election ever held in it, August, 1836. He was elected by the County Commissioners in 1836, at their first meeting, County Treasurer , which position he held for three years. in 1846, he was elected by the Whigs as a Representative to the General Assembly for this county, and in 1847, by them as the colleague of Hon. Selden M. Church, a delegate to revise the Constitution of the State. In 1862, he was an independent candidate for the position of delegate to the Convention to again revise the Consti- tution, but was defeated by a small plurality. In 1869 he was unanimously nominated by the Republicans for member of the Convention that formed our present constitution, and was elected without opposition. Later he was nominated by the Republicans and elected one of the three members from Winnebago and Boone Counties to the General Assembly. In all these legislative bodies he has borne an honorable and conspicuous part. In addition to this, Mr. Cross was Chairman of the Board of Supervisors sev­ eral years, occupying that position at the time of his death. He was also township School Fund Trustee for over thirty consecutive years, during which time the township never suffered loss from the funds being loaned on insufficient securities, as was the case in most townships. He had five children, John, Margaret Louisa, William Henry, Marie Antoinette (deceased), and Lewis. The estimation in which he was held was manifest by delegations of the early settlers of the county, members of the Board of Supervisors and from the State Legislature, in attendance at his funeral.
