Note	"Upon arriving in McDonough County, Illinois Bird and family discovered a deserted log cabin located in Hire Township and made this their new home. It was late summer and all seemed well. The next summer it became apparent why the original log cabin builder had abandoned it. It was located in a very damp area with no drainage and it was almost impossible to grow crops or even a garden. But Bird and his family were determined to make things work. That winter after the ground was frozen they raised the cabin, put logs (skids) under it and moved it to a new location. This worked well and the family lived in this cabin for several more years."
