Thank you to Grave Finder (47359603) for the following:
Chester Ames was born on the 9th of May, 1801. in Rutland County, where he lived until sixteen years of age, when he accompanied the family to Pennsylvania, where he later engaged in the mercantile business until the financial panic of 1837 brought ruin upon him as it did upon thousands of others. Three years later he left the East and came to Lake County, Ill., journeying by team. On arriving at his destination he traded his outfit, including horses, wagon, harness, etc., for a half section of land at Hickory Corners in Antioch Township. Of this, thirty acres had been fenced in and a log cabin built upon the cleared space. With his characteristic energy he began the development of the farm and in the course of time had a comfortable home. At the age of fifty he divided his property among his sons and has since lived a retired life, making his home with his son on the old homestead. He is now ninety years of age. His wife died in 1888. Her maiden name was Susanna D. Pitts, and their marriage was celebrated in Tioga County, Pa., February 3, 1826. She was born in Connecticut in 1803, of Welsh parentage. In the family of Mr. and Mrs. Ames were eight children, five sons and three daughters and the family circle has been broken only by the death of the mother. Mrs. Lucy A. Frazier is the eldest; Apollis P. is the second; Thomas W. resides in Nebraska; Olivia is the wife of Alex Trotter; C. L. is living in one of the suburbs of Chicago; Marion resides in Rock County, Minn.; Mary, twin sister of Marion, resides on the old homestead, and B. AV,, who served in the Thirty-seventh Illinois Infantry, operates the old home farm. All the children are heads of families.
