Faith
In 1844, Mormons, Clark County's first loggers, established camps between Wedge's Creek and Greenwood to cut timber for their Illinois city of Nauvoo. After the murder of their leader Joseph Smith at Carthage, Illinois, in mid-1844, they soon left. The sole legacy of their Clark County settlements is Cunningham Creek, named for Jonathan Cunningham, who drowned in it while running logs.
