John Hacker (1743-1824) erected his pioneer cabin about one mile west of here in 1769. He was the first white settler in Lewis County, and in the watershed of the creek which bears his name. He served under General George Rogers Clark in the Illinois campaign of 1778. Hacker and his wife Mary are buried in a small private cemetery near here.
