Woodruff was one of the early settlers of Northern Illi- nois, going to Boone County in 1836 by ox team from Pennsylvania. Boone County at that time was inhabited only by wolves, buffaloes, deer, and Indians. Mr. Woodruff built a log hut, tilled the soil, and marketed his surplus products in Chicago, 75 miles away, reached by driving an ox team. In 1855, he built a new brick house near the old log hut, and there he died. He received his education in the good, old, eastern district school. 680. WOODRUFF.
