Young Hannibal was full of enthusiasm about the family trek to Illinois. He did not yet have a girl friend to wait for him in New York State, so he was all for going west. Hannibal Woods came with his father's family on the raft of lumber and logs, down the Allegheny and Ohio rivers to the Mississippi, then were pushed up the Mississippi to the Rock and up the Rock to what became Illinois City, Winnebago Co., Illinois, but was then raw prairie. This town was laid out principally to sell lots to newcomers and people in the east, who knew nothing of this western country, but who had heard fabulous stories of its richness and promise and. wanted to get settled there. This so-called city never grew. They built their new frame house at Harrison, on the Rock River. It would be difficult to find any remains of Illinois City or where it was located. But there is a prospectus of the city in the City Library at Rockford, M. This prospectus told in glowing language of the city that was to become the county seat and the metropolis of the west. After his people were settled in Illinois and after his marriage and the birth of their first child, Hannibal decided to go west to the Iowa country. This they did in 1851, settling upon land near Independence, in Buchanan Co. They later went to Spencers Grove in Benton County. The family was growing so they decided to go still farther west that they might secure more land. With others of like mind they started from Benton Co., Iowa, for the farther west and came in eastern Nebraska, to what later became Wilbur, Nebraska. The following is a statement made by Andrew Woods, first child of Hannibal and Electa Allen-Woods, as to the reasons for removing from Illinois to Iowa, at Independence, and later to Benton County, Iowa, and still later to Nebraska. This is his dictated statement, made in his later life at Lamoni, Iowa. "I was born in what is now the city of Rockford, IL., on Nov. 9, 1850, and with my parents moved to Buchanan County, Iowa, in 1881, later moving to Benton County, near Spencers Grove. But my father, Hannibal Woods, wishing to secure more land and thinking that a change of climate might be beneficial to my brother William, who was ill, decided to take the advice of an old neighbor and friend, Abe Cox, and move to Nebraska. "So in the spring of 1866 and about the month of May, we drove up to the Cox log cabin on Turkey Creek, ready to set out. We were accompanied from Iowa by another old settler, John G. Rice, who took up land where the old Burtwell Mill stood. We first settled on the Norton place a half mile below the Mill, where we lived about five months. Then Father traded a team wagon and harness to Al Garton for his homestead rights. Al had built a log cabin and had a few acres under cultivation. The country was then a wild prairie with antelope and deer roaming over the prairies. There were plenty of prairie chickens and a few turkeys. There was no timber except along the streams and only here and there a homesteader. "Abe Cox was the first settler above Swan City, Neb., the Garton brothers, Alf Bill and Al were next, then George Ohler, then McClum and Andrew Norton and Charlie Howard, then the Pleasant Hill settlement and I think there were one or two settlers above Pleasant Hill, but I do not remember their names. "Father made a few trips to Nebraska City for supplies, but we did most of our trading at Beatrice. There was no railroad there at that time and everything was freighted in from Saint Joseph, Mo. "I suppose we had hardships in those early days, at least we would think so if we had to live that way now. But at that time we didn't think of it as hard. We worked and played and enjoyed life as well as the youth of today. "I remember the flood of 1869. It lasted so long that we ran out of flour and had to grind wheat in a coffee mill to make bread with. I finally went up the creek opposite Burtwell's Mill, waded onto the foot log, crossed over to the mill, got a sixty pound sack of flour and carried it home on my back. The water was a foot deep in our house and we had to move over to Thomas L. Rider's, whose house was built on higher ground. Afterwards I married his daughter, Mellissa. After the flood, Father decided to build his house up on higher ground, and planted an orchard, mostly of seedling trees. Here he used to love to wander around and look at his trees and enjoy the fruit and tell the neighbors about his orchard and have them sample the lovely fruit he raised. Most of the neighbors thought he would never live to eat of the fruit, when he was planting the trees. "However, those good times came to an end as Father took sick on November 25, 1888 and soon passed away, at Wilbur, Nebraska. Soon afterwards, with my mother and my family we moved to Iowa, in the spring of 1892. Later we moved into Lamoni, and still later, in 1897 we moved to western Nebraska. Then in 1902 to Colorado, and in 1912 we moved back to Lamoni, where we have since made our home." Hannibal Woods entered into the plan for removing the County Seat from Pleasant Hills to Wilbur, Nebraska. The records were removed in a raid on Pleasant Hills during the night, and the County Seat has remained at Wilbur since that time. The land on which Hannibal Woods settled near Wilbur, Nebr., was on the Old Bull Trail from St. Louis to Denver, Colorado. At one time he carried a grain sack of wheat to Brownsville, on the Missouri River to be ground into flour, then walked and carried the flour back to Wilbur. Hannibal and Electa united with the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ, of Latter Day Saints, early after their removal to Nebraska, and their offspring are still faithful to that Church. He is buried at Dewitt, Nebraska {Ed. Note: Under his son, William, it states Hannibal was buried at Wilbur, Nebraska on the same lot as William
