Goudy and William Perkins settled near Linn Grove. Jesse Holman, son of a Revolutionary War doctor, an earnest Christian and abolitionist, bought from Robert Stinson a cabin. There were 11 children in the family among them a daughter, who became a teacher of Mount Vernon Children for two generations. Mrs Holman, after the death of her husband Jesse, delighted to go past the school building, arrayed in her best black dress and white collar, so promptly at closing hour of school that she came to be called "Grandmother Four O'Clock". 1853: Some of the new arrivals destined to become prominent came into the community in 1853.
