(David Virgil), 1900-1984 Journalist Newspaper editors Newspapers Editorials--Authorship Editorials Illinois--Decatur Description An account of the resource David Virgil Felts, a Decatur, Illinois, journalist, was born on January 31, 1900, in Marion, Illinois. Following high school graduation, Felts entered the University of Illinois at Champaign. In college Felts became the “Campus Scout,” the author of a humorous column about college happenings. This position at the university was also held by Gene Shalit, Allen Sherman, and others who later pursed careers in broadcasting and journalism. After receiving an A.B. from the University of Illinois in 1923, Felts became a reporter for the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier Journal. From 1923 until 1926, he worked as a sports editor for the Illinois State Register in Springfield, Illinois, and then served briefly as a United Press reporter. Following a year of post-graduate study at Harvard University, Felts returned to Springfield in 1928 and became an editorial writer and columnist. In December 1935, Felts joined the Lindsay-Schaub chain of newspapers as an editorial writer and moved to Decatur, Illinois. He became editorial page editor for the Decatur Herald and Review in 1958 and two years later, he was editorial page editor for the entire Lindsay-Schaub chain. Felts also wrote his own column, called “Second Thoughts.” The column contained folksy reminiscences about past events and observations on current affairs. Felts officially retired in 1967, but he continued to write his column three times a week for the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers. The column ran until Felts’ real retirement at the age of seventy-five. In 1975, Felts moved to Ft. Pierce, Florida, with his wife. Felts died in March of 1985. Felts, who was interested in local and state history, was a long time member of the Illinois State Historical Society. He served as Society director from 1980 to 1983 and was elected vice-president in 1983. In July 1958, Felts was appointed by Governor William G. Stratton to the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission. Felts was also active in the Friends of the Decatur Public Library, serving as a trustee for the Library from 1951 to 1960 and as president of the board of directors from 1953 until 1955.  The finding aid for the David V.

Davis married Sarah Woodruff Walker in 1838 and they had five children including George Perrin Davis and Sarah "Sally" Davis. In 1844, Davis won election as a Whig to the Illinois Legislature, and four years later was elected Judge of Illinois Eighth Judicial Circuit, where he served on the bench during Lincoln's remaining years as an attorney on the circuit. The two became close friends, and Davis worked diligently as Lincoln's campaign manager at the 1860 Republican nominating convention in Chicago. In 1862, President Lincoln appointed Davis to the United States Supreme Court, where Davis wrote the majority opinion in Ex parte Milligan, a landmark decision restricting the rights of military courts to try civilians. In 1877, he resigned from the court after being elected to the United States Senate by the Illinois Legislature. Davis served as Senate president pro tempore from 1881 to 1883, and was known unofficially as "Mr. Vice President." He retired from the Senate in 1883. Davis invested in real estate with De Witt County attorney, Clifton H. Moore, and became a man of considerable wealth. He had the distinction of being the largest landowner in Illinois. At the time of his death, June 26, 1886, his estate was valued between four to five million dollars-a huge fortune in his day.                 The finding aid for the David Davis Family Papers at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at: http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/165.

ELOCUTION AND SHAKSPEARE. CHICAGO, 7th November, 1864. To Professor Amasa McCoy, of Washington, D. C. DEAR SIR: Noticing your labors in our State during the Presidential Campaign, in delivering, in response to the call of our worthy Governor, some sixty public addresses in different towns and cities of Illinois, and observing that you are now speaking to the people of our city, we respectfully request you to remain in Chicago long enough to give us a course of lessons in Elocution, such as you have been accustomed to give as Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory in the Ballston and Albany Law Schools, in the State of New York. We are the more desirous to receive these lessons because we learn that your elocutionary exercises are all on the speeches and other celebrated passages in Shakspeare; and thus we shall enjoy the double advantage of instruction in the principles of reading and speaking by one whom John B. Gough has pronounced "a true patriot, a great orator, the perfection of rhetoric and the sublime in oratory," and scholarly expositions at the same time of Shakspeare, by a profound student of those masterpieces of English Literature. We learn that, should you accede to our request, your terms would be fifteen dollars for fifteen lessons. Upon these terms we are most anxious to become members of such a class. Very respectfully yours, HENRY BOOTH, President Chicago Law School. H. B. HURD, Professor Chicago Law School. HENRY M. SHEPHERD, Pres't Young Men's Ass'n. W. S. FRAZIER, Agent Metropolitan Hall.

The signers to the letter requesting Professor McCoy to give a course of lessons in Elocution and Shakspeare, have great gratification in announcing to their professional brethren, that that distinguished orator, elocutionist and scholar, has accepted their invitation, and will comply with their wishes. Also, that this class, although originating with members of the Bar, is open to gentlemen of other professions. Clergymen, physicians, editors, public writers and speakers, college professors, school teachers--all whose duties require them to speak or read in public--professional and literary students, and admirers of Shakspeare generally, are cordially invited to become members of this class, and to partake with them the high intellectual pleasures of exploring together, the beauties and the wisdom, the poetry and the philosophy, of that immortal bard, whose writings are at once the food and the delight of every scholar in the world. Application for membership may be made at the law office of Messrs. Ulrich & Warner, room No. 3, 98 Washington Street. The signers to the above call have the further pleasure to announce, that prior to the opening of the above class in Elocution and Shakespeare, a preliminary meeting of the class will be held on the evening of Friday, 2d of Dec., at 7 1/2 o'clock, at Powers' New Academy of New Gymnastics, No. 116 Randolph St., on which occasion Professor McCoy will read from Bully Bottom, Falstaff, Hamlet's Soliloquy, the decline and fall of Cardinal Wolsey, in Henry VIII, and the passage from Richard III, which he read before the President, his Cabinet, and a great audience in Washington, in July, 1861; and which was equally applauded for its artistic and powerful rendering, and for its striking pertinence to the circumstances of the pending Rebellion. A limited number of tickets, each admitting one lady and gentleman, to this preliminary meeting, may be had gratuitously, by applying to the above members of the class. [The above movement on the part of members of the legal profession, has suggested to some ladies to try and secure the same rare opportunities of literary culture. It has been ascertained that Professor McCoy will give elocutionary and Shaksperian instruction to a class of ladies, providing it numbers not less than thirty. Any lady wishing to belong to such a class, may signify the same by signing the subjoined letter of invitation, and enclosing to Miss Haven, care of Dr. J. Hayes, 96 State St., Chicago.] CHICAGO, 20th November, 1864. To Professor Amasa McCoy, of Washington, D. C.: DEAR SIR: Learning that you have been requested by members of the bar of Chicago and other gentlemen, to remain in this city long enough to give them a course of lessons in Elocution and Shakspeare, such as you have been accustomed to give, as Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, in the Ballston and Albany Law Schools, in the State of New York, we respectfully invite you to give a course also to a class of ladies, combining, as we learn they do, the double benefits of instruction, by a scholar of learned and classical literary taste, in the principles of correct and elegant reading, with conversational lectures, which form and refine the taste, by developing the beauties of thought and language of the finest and most-quoted passages in Shakspeare. We learn that, should you consent to comply with this request, your terms would be fifteen dollars, to each member, for fifteen lessons. We deem such a fee very moderate, compared with the advantage which would accrue, and would be happy on such terms, to avail ourselves of them. Respectfully yours, MRS. DR. ALLPORT. MISS ALLPORT.

Jacksonville November 28. 1862 To his Excellency Gov Yates Sir I have just returned from Cairo, where I have been on a visit to my husband, summoned by the news of his severe illness.
