History of Illinois and her People, 1927

JOHN C. STIRES has been a resident of Ogle County seventy years or more, has been known in his community as a man of soundest integ­rity and business capability, and a citizen ever ready to participate in movements for the gen­eral upbuilding and welfare.

Mr. Stires was brought to northern Illinois when a child from his birthplace, Pattenburg, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, where he was born February 6, 1852. The Stires family came from England before the Revolutionary war. His grandfather, Tunis Stires, lived at Pattenburg, New Jersey. Thomas J. Stires, father of John C., was born and reared in New Jersey, attended public schools there, and in 1855 brought his family to Illinois and the following year bought a quarter section of land near Byron. This old homestead is now owned by his son Ira Stires. Thomas J. Stires followed farming in Illinois until his death in 1864. His wife, Jane Conover, was born and reared in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, and her family came to America about 1660. Thomas J. Stires and wife had a family of five sons and five daughters: Watson, who died when six years of age, Hiram, Ira, Gar­rett and John C; Malinda, deceased, who married N. J. Hewitt; Margaret Swackhamer, of White House, New Jersey; Carrie M; Han­nah, who married Frank Noyes of Byron; and Mrs. Alice Court of Creston, Iowa.

John C. Stires acquired a district school education in Illinois, and as a boy he learned the principles of farming and was engaged in farm work until 1890. Mr. Stires for over a quarter of a century was in the live stock business with headquarters at Byron, buying and shipping stock to the Chicago market. He retired from business in 1916 and has since looked after his private affairs. He is a demo­crat in politics and attends the Congrega­tional Church.

Mr. Stires married at Byron, December 28, 1875, Miss Hattie N. Wilbur, of Byron, daugh­ter of Charles and Ann (Shaw) Wilbur, both of whom were born and reared in Oneida County, New York, and came to Illinois in 1845, being early settlers in the vicinity of Byron, where they located on a farm. Her father served thirty-eight years as justice of the peace in his community. Mr. and Mrs. Stires became the parents of four children : Mabel, who died in 1890; Elva J., who died in 1910, wife of A. R. Mize, formerly of Byron, now cashier of the Bank of Leaf River; Anna E., married in 1902 to L. T. Barrick, who is a member of the mercantile firm of Barrick & Hunter at Byron, and they have a daughte, Evelyn Barrick, now attending the University of Chicago; and Margaret Grace Stires, who attended the grammar and high schools of Byron and the University of Chicago, and for several years taught school, until her marriage with Mack Defouw, who is connected with the Hoover Realty Company of Chicago.

Biographical Record

J. CHESTER STIRES is a worthy representative of the business interests of Byron, where he is extensively engaged in buying and shipping stock. Of excellent business ability and broad resources, he has attained a prominent place among the sub­stantial citizens of this part of the county, and is a recognized leader in public affairs. He has won success by his well.directed, energetic efforts, and the prosperity that has come to him is certainly well deserved.

Mr. Stires was born February 6, 1852, in Hunterdon county, New Jersey, and be­longs to one of the pioneer families of that state, of which his parents, Thomas and Jane (Conover) Stires, were also natives. The father, whose birth occurred in Hunterdon county, in 1808, engaged in farming there until 1854 or r855, when he removed to Ohio, but in 1856 he became a resident of Byron township, Ogle county, Illinois, where he purchased an improved farm of one hundred and sixty acres. To its cultivation be devoted his energies until called from this life July 1, 1864, and his wife, who survived him some years, passed away in February, 1878. In their family were five sons and five daughters, all of whom reached man and womanhood, with the exception of one son. H. C., the eldest, resides in Byron; Ira owns and occupies the old homestead farm; Mrs. N. J. Hewitt is a resident of Byron; Mrs. Maggie Swank- hamer lives in Hunterdon county, New Jer­sey; Carrie N. died unmarried; Mrs. Han­nah Noyes makes her home in Byron; Garret and J. Chester are both residents of that place; and Mrs. Alice Court lives in Creston, Iowa.

Reared on the home farm, J. Chester Stires early became familiar with all the duties which fall to the lot of the agricult­urist, aiding in the work of the farm dur­ing the summer season and attending the district school during the winter months. He was married in Marion township, Ogle county, December 29, 1875. to Miss Hattie N. Wilbur, who was born in Byron town­ship and was reared and educated in this county. Her father, Charles Wilbur. lo­cated here in 1845 and took up a tract of government land in Byron township, which he transformed into a good farm. After his marriage Mr. Stires operated this place, consisting of one hundred and forty acres, until 1890, and also owned and operated another farm of two hundred and thirty acres, being actively and successfully en­gaged in agricultural pursuits for fifteen years. In 1890 he removed to the village of Byron, where he bought residence prop­erty, which he has greatly improved, and now has a very pleasant and commodious home. Here he engages in buying and shipping stock and is one of the most suc­cessful dealers in the county. In 18o2 he also bought an interest in the Byron bank, and is now one of the four stockholders of that reliable institution.
Mr. and Mrs. Stires are the parents of four children: Mabel, who died at the age of thirteen years; Elva Jane, a well edu­cated young lady who is now successfully engaged in teaching school in Ogle county; Anna E., who is also well educated and is now at home, and Margaret Grace, who completes the family.

Politically Mr. Stires has affiliated with the Democracy since casting his first presiden­tial ballot for Samuel j. Tilden in 1876, and he has taken an active and prominent part in local politics, serving as a delegate to numer­ous county, congressional and state conven­tions. In the spring of 1898 he was elected supervisor of Byron township, defeating the Republican candidate who had served for ten years in that office and had always been elected by a large majority. This fact plainly indicates the popularity of our sub­ject, as the township has always been strongly Republican, and his many friends in Byron rejoiced in his triumph, manifest­ing their enthusiasm by a big rally. He is now serving on the poor farm committee. In 1897 he was elected president of the town board. Mr. Stires is acknowledged to be one of the most enterprising and public spirited citizens of Byron, and for eight years advocated the building of a bridge across the river at that place and was in­strumental in at last securing it. He con­tributed two hundred dollars toward its construction, and was also identified with the building of both elevators at this place.
