Notes for OWEN JERSEY PIPER:
      Owen Jersey Piper, born February 8, 1866, in Selby, Illinois; a farmer; married Nancy Self, February 10, 1886, born December 2, 1867, in Berlin, Illinois. He resides in Princeton, Illinois. They have no children listed. Notes taken from history done by Horace Piper (1889).
      O.J. Piper is the proprietor of the Hillhurst Stock Farm and a well known breeder of shorthorn cattle and Poland China hogs. In fact he is regarded as one of Bureau county's most substantial citizens and successful business men and his efforts have contributed in no small degree to the reputation which this county bears for its farming and stock-raising interests.
      Mr. Piper was born in Bureau county, February 8, 1866. His paternal grandfather was Ezekiel Piper and the father William W. Piper. The latter is now a retired farmer living in Malden, Illinois. He came to this county in 1836 from the vicinity of Cincinnati, Ohio, being at that time only about a year old. As the years passed he was trained to the work of the farm and took up agricultural pursuits as a life occupation. He is now in very comfortable circumstances and his position of affluence indicated a life of well directed and intense activity in former years. He married Miss Lydia Savage, whose parents were early settlers here, and of this union there were born three children, of whom two now living, Florence being the widow of Thomas Griffin and a resident of Michigan.
      O.J. Piper was educated in the common schools of Bureau county and has always been deeply interested in stock-raising. He entered upon his business career by renting land and raising registered stock for sixteen years. He has been breeding cattle for ten years, hogs for fifteen years and horses for sixteen years. He is now proprietor of Hillhurst Stock Farm, where he is breeding shorthorn cattle and Poland China hogs. He has bred on an extensive scale and always has stock for sale. His place is located on sections 13 and 24, Wyanet township, and on section 18, Princeton township, two miles west of the city of Princeton on the Wyanet road. His stock is all registered. In former years he was extensively engaged in the breeding of horses and he makes a specialty of straight Scotch breeding and has one of the strongest herds of shorthorn cattle in the country. He keeps from sixteen to twenty-five breeding cows and now has two young cows that are not excelled upon any breeding farm in the world. He raises from one hundred and fifty to two hundred head of hogs annually, keeping the best strains. His hogs of the Poland China variety are heavy boned and yet hold excellent feeding and breeding qualities. In 1902 he sold three hogs on the market for one hundred and fifty dollars. He has bought fine stock at state fairs and other places and he also breeds bronze turkeys and barred chickens. He has always taken first prize on turkeys at the fairs and took the first prize in Iowa on turkeys, where he also won six prizes of six turkeys. He manifests a justifiable pride in his stock and poultry, for he is one of the best thoroughbred breeders of Bureau county. He advertises his stock through the Breeders Gazette, which is published in Chicago. He owns one hundred and fifty-six acres of good land, which he purchased in 1902 and upon which he has a fine home. The farm is well improved in every particular and indicated the careful supervision and progressive spirit of the owner.
      Mr. Piper was married to Miss Nancy Self, who was born in Bureau county near Zearing, Illinois, and is a daughter of Franklin Self, a retired farmer residing in Princeton. The have two children; Ethel, aged sixteen; and Cleona, in her first year. The parents are members of the Methodist Episcopal church and Mr. Piper is a republican in his political views. His business affairs are carefully conducted and all that he now posses has been acquired through his own efforts. He certainly deserves much credit for this, as the Hillhurst Stock Farm is one of the leading enterprises of this kind in Bureau county.
