	JOHN HENEGAN, born in Scotland, in the year 1833, died in Olathe, Kansas, September 19, 1877, aged forty-four years.      The subject of this sketch, with his father's family, came to Mt. Vernon in 1853, and resided here until his death.      For nearly two years Mr. Henegan was confined more or less to his house by disease beyond a physician's healing part.  A short time prior to his death he visited Olathe to close up some business in that place.  He lived to finish that business, and then passed away from earth as calmly and as quietly as a child slumbering the sleep of innocence.  During the last few days of life he named many of his Mt. Vernon friends, wishing they were with him to soothe and cheer him in his declining moments, the end of which he knew was fast approaching.      From early youth Mr. Henegan, devoted himself to railroading.  The last of such work was on the Cleveland, Mt. Vernon & Columbus railway, to the interest of which many years of his life were devoted.      In 1867, in company with his father, he took the contract of constructing a canal around the Des Moines rapids, one of the greatest undertakings of the kind in America.  Other hands have just completed this great work.      In the fall of 1874 he commenced work upon the new infirmary building, and brought it nearly to completion.  This building is the most substantial of the kind in the State, and an honor to the county, and also to the State.      At the age of sixteen years, the subject of this sketch, with his father and mother, together with the rest of their family, left Glasgow, Scotland, September16, 1849 - Liverpool, England, Sept. 18th, and arrived at New Orleans, United States of America, on the twentieth day of December following; thus the voyage, between the port of departure and the port of disembarkation; appears to have been thirteen weeks and four days in duration.  To vary the interest, and to add to the perils of those "who go down to the sea in ships," the vessel, upon whose deck the lives and fortunes of the hardy emigrants were placed, was cast away in a storm, and thrown upon the shores of an island now called Concon, situated near the barren coast of Yucatan, Central America.  The passengers and crew were detained twenty-eight days upon that island.      During their forced residence upon the island, the passengers and crew, imitating the people of the country in which most of them were seeking a new home, organized a government and made laws for their own protection, and unanimously elected Mr. William Henegan the first governor of the State of Concon, Central America.  The necessity of this organization was soon apparent.      The island of Concon, for its favorable and safe harbors, was one of the favorite rendezvous of the piratical vessels making those waters their cruising grounds.  One of those sea rovers passing the island, the captain seeing the wrecked ship of the emigrants, determined to take position, and rob it of all the rigging and stores left upon it, (the passengers and crew, while waiting for rescue, living in tents upon the shore).      To allay suspicion, the pirates also landed, and pitched their tents a short distance from the shipwreck, as though they wished to rest awhile from their bloody and murderous career.  One of the crew of the wrecked ship, wandering over the island one day, being weary from his long and difficult tramp, threw himself down behind some rocks and fell asleep.  How long he had remained in that unconscious state he knew not.  He was finally awakened by hearing voices in conversation, apparently immediately above him.  Listening for awhile, he gathered enough of their conversation to convince him that the voices belonged to some of the crew of the piratical vessel, and that the rascals were detailing to themselves their plans for attacking the unfortunate voyagers and sacking the wrecked vessel.  After the departure of the loquacious pirates, the sailor made his way to his own camp, and detailed the plot of the pirates to Governor Hanegan.      After a consultation with his council, the governor formed his plans for retaliation, which were to capture the pirate vessel and put to sea with his little colony.  This was "carrying the war into Africa," with a vengeance, yet, under the circumstances, was perfectly justifiable.      The governor's plans were well laid, and would have been successfully carried out, had not one of the passengers betrayed the governor's plans to the pirate chief.  The pirates immediately struck their tents and began their retreat to their boats and thence to their vessel.  In the melee that ensued, the pirate captain was wounded so severely as to compel his crew to take him upon their shoulders.  In this condition, with their helpless captain, the pirates reached their boats and made for their vessel.  When upon her deck, they hoisted sails and put out to sea, leaving eh shipwrecked in possession of their diminutive republic.

Vernon, and in order to insure the court house being located there, the settlers turned out and cleared off a site for the proposed court house, felling trees and rolling logs where the compact blocks of the city now stand.      Mr. and Mrs. Hunt had a family of eleven children, seven of whom lived to maturity, and four of whom still survive.      In 1847 his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Hook, purchased the home farm, with whom they lived the balance of their lives.  Mr. Hunt died Mar. 23, 1864, and Mrs. Hunt died Oct. 9, 1869.  Thus ended in peace and happiness the lives of two that were among the earliest pioneers of Knox county, leaving the fruits of their labors after them to be enjoyed by their descendants and their many friends, who greatly revere their memory.
