STORY OF KNOX OOUOTY

About equally productive as an agricultural and in- dustrial area, Knox County, located in the vast, corn- growing region of west central Illinois, is unique for the niimerous literary, inventive, educational, religious and cultural leaders who were widely influential in its past history and who contributed, in varying degrees, to the enrichment of American life.

If Knox County produced Carl Sandburg, now acclaimed as a great American author and poet, it also nurtured the Ferrises, one of whom invented the Ferris Wheel and einother of whom created that popular American edible, popcorn. If the county provided a setting for the work of the Reverend George W. Gale, pioneer Midwest religious leader and found- er of both Galesburg city and Knox College, it also served as a proving ground for the steel, sel f- scouring plow in- vented by one of its early settlers, Harvey H. May.

About the time that the first railroad came to Gales- burg and thus opened the way for the later construction there of the great Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad shops, there existed in that same city two pioneer colleges which were outstanding seats of learning at that period. One

of these was Knox College, still in existence, and the other was Lombard College.

In the years since then, Knox College has had an un- usual number of students who went out into the world and became celebrated American authors. One of these, as we have seen, is Carl Sandburg, poet, ballad singer, and author of a monumental, six-volume biography of an immortal American who once walked the streets of Galesburg — Abra- ham Lincoln.

Another one-time Knox student is Earnest Elmo Calkins, who achieved top success in both advertising and literature and whose novel They Broke the Prairie is a vivid and real- istic portrayal of pioneer life in Knox County. It was still another former Knox student, George Fitch, who, in his humorous " Old Siwash " stories in the Saturday Evening Post, not only based these popular tales on Knox campus life but created a new catchword for freshwater colleges in America. One more Knox undergraduate was the late Don Marquis, author playwright, and newspaper columnist.

Before Galesburg' s other pioneer college, Lombard, was absorbed by Knox, it numbered among its students Eugene Field, now known in American literature as " the Children's Poet." At a later period Lombard College played its share in the education of Quincy Wright, now professor of inter- national law at the University of Chicago and author of A Study of War and other authoritative works on today's world problems.

Ot the several liiinois counties in whicu Lincoln and Douglas staged their series of seven Great Debates during the senatorial campaign of 1858, only Knox County retains a building m which one of those debates was held. This is Old Main, most ancient of the edifices on the campus of Knox College at Galesburg. It was here that Lincolnand Douglas engaged in the fifth of their series of historic debates, the event taking place in the afternoon of October ■7, 1858.

IN THE BEGINNING

At one time, practically half of what is now the state of Illinois was a single county called Knox, so-named after General Henry Knox of the Revolutionary War. But at that early period, which was after the Northwest Territory was organized in 1790, this Knox County included not onlv naif of Illinois but all of what later became Indiana, Vachigan and Wisconsin. When Indiana Territory was organized in 1800, however, this original, vast Knox County was greatly reduced in size and eventually it became an ordinary- si zed county m Indiana, enclosing tne historic old French town of Vincennes.

By the time Illinois Territory was set up in 1809, no association with the earlier Knox County remained in the new territory. Thus it may be seen that the Knox County in Ill- inois today was an entirely new county, not coming into ex- istence until 1825. It, also, was named after General Henry

Knox, When Illinois Territory was established, it consisted of only two counties, Randolph and St. Clair, and our present Knox County lay in the latter.

Then, in 1812, St. Clair was greatly reduced in size

and a newly- created county, Madison, included the Knox

County of today. Here it remained until 1821 when Pike

County was proclaimed; a huge county that embraced the future site of Knox. Then came the year 1823 when Pike

was cut in half and Fulton County organized; now future

Knox was in Fulton. And here it remained until Knox County

came into being in 1825.

MILITARY TRACT

Before Knox County was formed, and even before Illinois was admitted to statehood, the United States government set aside a vast region (two million acres) of wilderness land in Illinois Territory for veterans of tne War of 1812. This was called the Military Tract. It lay between the Illinois and Mississippi rivers and extended upward as far as a line drawn between Rock Island and Joliet.

As may be readily seen, future Knox County lay in the north portion of the Military Tract. Any veteran of the War of 1812 could have a free quarter-section of land(160 acres) here if he wanted it. But there were not many who accepted the offer to settle in the tract; it seems the hardsnips of frontier life did not appeal to them. In consequence, most

of the ex-soldiers sold tneir " prairie quarter " for $100 or even less, while others traded theirs for a horse, a cow or a watch.

What happened afterwards was that many of the first settlers of this region had great difficulty in ascertaining the legal status of the land they had staked out; they often did not know if their claim was " Congress Land, " which they were entitled to pre-empt, or " Patent Land, " which belonged to some veteran. Quite a few of the veterans sold their tracts to Eastern " land sharks. " Cases were common where a " land shark " would turn up as owner and demand an exorbitant price for the land on which a settler had built his cabin home and laid out a farm.

KNOX COUNTY CREATED

Altnough Knox was one of eight new counties created by the Illinois state legislature at Vandalia (then the capital of the state) on January 13, 1825, the enabling act having been signed by Governor Edward Coles, it did not nave a formal county government until 1830. During this interval it was a dependency of its parent county, Fulton, and the first settlers of Knox had to carry on their county business at Fulton's county seat, Lewistown.

By 1830, however, there were enough legal residents, 350, in Knox County to meet the requirements of formal county organization. On demand of these early settlers.

Circuit Judge Richard M. Young, sitting at Lewistown, issued an order calling for formal organization of Knox County and

another order calling for an election of county officers. This election was held on July 3, 1830.

FIRST SETTLERS

The first settlers of Knox County, as with many other new Illinois counties of the period, were emigrants from the South. The trend of population then was from the south to the north; the movement of newcomers form New England and New York State into northern Illinois had not yet start- ed. Until just after the close of the Black Hawk War of 1832 most homeseekers who came into Knox county were from Tenn- essee, Kentucky and Virginia.

On their arrival in Knox County, the earliest of these homeseekers settled in a wooded region that now is Henderson Township, just north of where Galesburg was later platted. With a plentiful supply of logs at hand, they soon had a settlement of cabins here that came to be known as Log City. It included not only homes but several stores and taverns. Later, the settlement was called Henderson Grove.

The first settlement of the county was made in Hen- derson Grove in February, 1828, " wrote J. L. Dewey in Dewey's County Directory, publi shed at Galesburg in 1868. "Messrs. Daniel and Alexander Robertson, Riggs Pennington, Stephen Osborn, Robert and Eaton Nance, The Rev. Jacob Gum and his sons (John B. , James and Zephaniah), Jane Vaughn, Benjamin Coy, Alexander Franks, Robert Greenwell, Thomas Sheldon and Nicholas Voiles . . . all of these were the

first iieads of families who settled m Knox County. The unmarried emigrants who did not 'keep uouse' were Jesse D. Gum, Matthew D. Coy, Helen liilton, Andrew Osborn, Tnomas McKee, Alexander Osborne and James Reynolds.

" In July, 1829, tlie first marriage ceremonies were perform- ed by Philip Hash, a justice of the peace, the couples being Fielden Hash and Miss Elizabeth Razor and Alexander Osborne and Miss Hendricks. The happy parties were compel letl to obtain the licenses from Lewistown in Fulton County, and all were married upon the same day. In January, 1829, the first white child was born, tiie offspring of Zephaniah Gum. and June Gum. On the 9th of January, 1829, the first death occurred, that of a young man named Philip Nance, aged 17 years . . . His friends were compelled to use the lumber of an old wagon-box in the construction of a ruae coffin for the remains. "

GENERAL HENRY KNOX

As has already been noted, Knox County was named after General Henry Knox of the Revolutionary War. A native of Boston, Massachusetts, where he was born in 1750, Henry Knox early took an interest in military tactics and read many books on the subject. At the outbreak of the American Revolution he fought at Bunker Hill and later planned an artillery encirclement of Boston which forced the British to evacuate that city.

For this service, he won the confidence of General

Washington and was made a brigadier-general and placed in charge of the artillery of the Continental Army. Thereafter, General Knox's cannons played important parts in the battles of Princeton, Brandywine, Germemtown, Monmouth and Yorktown. Later he was placed in commeind at West Point and served as President Washington's first Secretary of War. He was also founder of the Society of the Cincinnati, an organization of ex-army officers. General Knox died in 1806.

OOUmY ORGANIZATION

In History of Knox County , I I I i no i s published by Chas. C. Chapman & Company in 1878, we find these words: " In the spring of 1830, two years after the first white man had located m the county of Knox, it was thought there was a sufficient number of inhabitants to justify an organ- ization. Accordingly a public meeting was held at the store of Samuel S. White, in Henderson township May 15, 1830. This store stood near the residence of John B. Gum, and in the early days was known as a tavern, but at present such a place would comoionly be known as a saloon. The building was a one-story log cabin, about 16 feet square, and contained but one room.

" [\iggs Penningt ai was chosen chairman and John G. San- burn, secretary. The original minutes of the meeting are, still extant, and in the possession of Mr. F. G. Sanburn of Knoxville, who kindly loaned them to us. Among the pioneer" present at this meeting looking foward to the organization of one of the wealthiest most beautiful counties of the state,

were Riggs Pennington, John G. Sanburn, Squire Philip Hash. Stephen Osborn, Dr. Charles Hansford, Henry Bell, the Rev. Jacob Gum, Nicholas Voiles and John B. Gum.

" Dr. Hansford, Riggs Pennington and John G. Sanburn were appointed to draft a petition addressed to the Honor- able Richard M. Young, Judge of the Fifth Judicial District, praying for the organization of the county. Another comm- ittee was appointed to present this petition to the Judge and address him in the interests of the organization. Vhis committee was composed of Pennington, Hash, Hansford, i. ad Osborn. These gentlemen shortly afterwards proceeded to Lewistown, Fulton County; and while the circuit court was in session, laid their petition before the Judge, who, be- lieving the county contained 350 inhabitants, the number required by law, and that the majority desired the organ- ization, did, on the 10th day of June, declare, by virtue of the power invested in him, the said county of Knox to be organized and entitled to the same rights and privileg.-s as the other counties in the state.

" This step was soon supplemented by another of equal importance; for there must necessarily be official heads to conduct the public affairs of the newly organized community. Accordingly, Judge Young issued an order for an election for the purpose of choosing three commissioners. This elect" tion was held on the 3rd day in July, 1830, being the first election ever held in Knox County. Riggs Pennington, Philip Hash, and Dr. Charles Hansford were elected county commiss- ioners without opposition. "

KNOXVILLE BECOMES FIRST COUNTY SEAT

A few days after that first election, the new county Commissioner's Court (at that time a county's ruling body was called a " court " instead of a " board ") held a special session in the log cabin home of John B. Gum at Henderson Grove. The new commissioners were sworn in by Steplien, Osborn, sheriff-elect, and then the court was de- clared duly organized for the transaction of business.

In addition to appointing John G. Sanburn as county clerk and John B. Gum as county treasurer (wno liad to give bond in the amount of $500), the new court ordered that John B. Gum's home should serve as a temporary seat of justice for Knox County. A year later, it was decided to locate a permanent county seat at a new town to be platted just southeast of the site of future Galesburg and to be called " Henderson. "

This town was duly surveyed and laid out by Parna c h Owen, first Knox County surveyor. At a public sale .lots in the new town of Henderson sold at prices ranging from S2.00 to $60.00. A total of twenty-five lots were sold for $1,256. Later in that same year (1831) there was completed at Hen- derson the county's first permanent courthouse, and three years later the county had its first jail at the same place. In 1832, however, the name of the county seat town was changed to Knoxville. The reason for this change was that Henderson became confused with Henderson Grove, the settle-

10

ment established by the county's first residents. With its new name, Knoxville remained the seat of Knox County for the next forty-one years, or until 1873 when Galesburg be- came county seat.

GALESBURG COLONY

After the close of the Black Hawk War of 1832, a conflict which brought about the permanent removal of Indians from Illinois, there began a inrush of Easterners into the Prairie State, most of whom settled in the upper part of the commonwealth. Although this movement actually started with the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, it was greatly accelerated when the Indian menace was ended in 111 inois .

Among the numerous colonization societies formed in Eastern states to establish model towns in the new prairie country of Illinois, one of the most successful was that organized by the Reverend George Washington Gale, a gifted Presbyterian minister of Oneida County, New York. He not only platted the town of Galesburg, which today is a leading Illinois agricultural and manufacturing center, but he founded Knox College, one of the earliest of American manual labor colleges.

It was in 1835 that the reverend Mr. Gale conceived the idea of a religious community on the western frontier, one that would center on a manual labor college. He felt that such a community would bring both religion, and ed-

11

ucation to a region urgently in need of both. In time he organized a colonization society at Whitesboro, in Oneida County, New York, and raised a fund of $20,000 among some fifty families of the Mohawk Valley.

An exploring committee sent out by the society reported back that the most suitable site for a town was just north- west of Knoxville, seat of Knox County. There followed the purchase of more than 10,000 acres of land at this site for some $15,000, the planning of an institution of higher learning to be called " Prairie College, " and the laying out of a town to be called " Galesburg " after tiie Rev- erend Mr. Gale.

Then followed, in 1836-1837 , the movement o f the society's families westward to the Illinois prairie country. Some went overland in Conestoga wagons, others journeyed on the Erie Canal, while still others followed the Ohio, Mississippi and Illinois rivers. At first, the families occupied temporary cabins in the early settlement known as Log City, later called Henderson Grove. In the meantime, they went to work building their model town of Galesburg.

As circumstances have since shown, the Reverend Mr. Gale' s town was one of the most important factors in the development of Knox County. Soon Knox and Lombard colleges were established there, and then came the first railroad in 1854 •— another important event in the history of the county. Today, Galesburg is an agricultural and manufactur- ing city of 31,425 population and the chief trading center

12

of a region with an estimated population of 123,000.

FOUNDING OF KNOX COLLEGE

As soon as Galesburg was built, work was started on the manual labor college conceived by the founder of the colony. It was chartered in 1837 and at first was called Knox Manual Labor College, but this was later simplified to its present name of Knox College. In addition to the Rev- ersnd Mr. Gale, its first board of trustees consisted of John Waters, John G. Sanburn, Matthew Chambers, Erastus Swift, Nehemiah H. Losey, George H. Wright, Parnach Owen, and Thomas Simmons.

When completed and opened in 1838, Knox College's first building, a crude frame edifice, served not only as a college hall but as a community preparatory school, church and town meeting place. It was limited only to male students who combined college work with manual labor. In 1870, how- ever, women were admitted to the full college course. Gales- burg' s other pioneer college, Lombard, was absorbed by Knox in 1930. Today, Knox Collgee has an enrollment of 780 students.

A STEEL PLOW INVENTOR

If it is still a debatable question among historians as to who produced the first steel plow in Illinois, yet Harvey Henry May, of Galesburg, remains high on the list of

13

those who might be eligible for that honor. It was as long ago as 1837, when the movement of settlers into the Illinois prairie country was at its peak, that Harvey H. May invented a steel, sel f- scouring plow that was es- pecially adapted to turning over tne rough, sticky prairie sod of the Midwest About this time, too, John Deere pro- duced a steel plow at Grand Detour, Illinois, and soon several others appeared in different parts of the state. Whether or not Henry H. May invented the first steel plow, his implement certainly played an important part in making Knox a leading agricultural county of Illinois.

LOMBARD COLLEGE

Another institution of higher learning that helped to gain for Galesburg the early title of " Athens of the Corn Belt " was Lombard College. It was founded by the Univer- salists in 1851. After being in existence for eighty years, it was absorbeid by Knox College. Among its one- timestudents was Eugene Field, the " Children's Poet. " A later gra- duate of Lombard College is Quincy Wright, leading authority on international law and autho,r of "A Study of Viar " and other books.

FIRST RAILROAD

One Sunday in 1854, we are told, Jonathan Blanchard, an early president of Knox College, carefully put on his black frock coat £md walked out to a railroad track that had just been laid in Galesburg. On the track stood a new wood-burn-

14

ing locomotive with a di amond- shaped smokestack. As the engineer was about to climb into the locomotive cab, Pres- ident Blanchard stepped forward, and, in a severe, moral New England tone, commanded that the locomotive be " put up " for the day and not used to profane the holy Sabbath. Whereupon the smoke-begrimed engineer replied: " You can go to hell and mind your own business. I'll take my train out as ordered. "

Many local historians point to this incident as being one of the most significent in the history of Knox County. For It symbolized the end of the strict, moral, religious atmosphere first brought to Galesburg by the Reverend Mr. Gale and his followers and a later influx of New Englanders and the beginning of a freer, more cosmopolitan, more democratic era that came with the arrival of the first rail- road and the first industrial plants.

It is agreed by all local historians that the coming of the railroad to Galesburg in 1854 was of the greatest im- portance in the development of the city and county. After the railroad arrived, Galesburg quickly evolved into an industrial and shipping center. In 1850, four years before the Central Military Tract Railroad was built through Knox County, Galesburg had a population of 880; two years after the road was constructed, Galesburg' s population jumped to 4,000.

15

It was in 1851 tnat the county's first " steam road, " the Central Military Iract Railroad, was organized at Galesbur^. After George C. Lanphere secured a charter for the road from the Illinois state legislature, a local sub- sidy of $300,000 was raised by leading Galesburg citizens, among taem being Chauncey Qjlton, a wealthy merchant. Plan- ning to connect with several other roads wdiich would give Galesburg direct access to Chicago, the Central Military Tract Railroad soon was under construction. It was completed in December, 1854, and at that time Galesburg, and Knox County, welcomed its first railroad train.

Two years latier the Central Military Tract Railroad and several of its connecting roads were consolidated into tlie Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad. " The advent of the railroad, " says the Knox County volume of the Historical Records Survey, " brought population and prosperity to Galesburg. Farm products now could be shipped to Chicago and other markets, and conversely the town now became a distrib- uting point for merchandise, farm machinery and other equipment. Knox College and other schools attracted students and visitors from all sections of the United States. "

Today, Galesburg is the largest division headquarters of the vast Burlington Railroad system. In the road's machine and repair shops, car factories, icing stations, coal chutes, hump switchyards and tie-treating plant at Galesburg are employed more than 2,300 persons. Another railroad serving Galesburg is the Santa Fe System. In add- ition to the Lurlington shops, Galesburg now has some sixty other industrial plants

16

EUROPEAN ARRIVALS

When that Swedish communistic colony, Bishop Hill, located just north of Galesburg in Henry County, began to disintergrate in the 1850' s following the murder of Erik Jansson, its founder, many of the colonists moved southward into Knox County and became farmers. One who helped in this movement was the Reverend Jonas Hedstrom, a Methodist clergyman who had emigrated from Sweden and become a resi- dent of the village of Victoria in Knox County.

" Steady immigration from Sweden followed, " says the. Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois and Knox Count/ " The Irish first appeared in force in 1854, as laborers on the railroad . . . For some time they remained content with this employment, but, little by little, they began to seek other outlets for their energy, many going to work upon farms.... The first considerable European accession, however, was the Scotch settlement in the northeastern part of the county, chiefly in Copley. "

LINCOLN- DOUGLAS DEBATE

A unique historical landmark in Knox County is Old Main, most ancient of the buildings on the Galesburg campus of Knox College. It was here, on the raw windy afternoon of October 7, 1858, that Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas staged the fifth of their series of seven Great Debates dur-

infc the Illinois senatorial campaign of that year. Today, this old Knox College building is the only edifice associ- ated with the Great Debates that is still standing.

17

MOTHER BICKERDYKE

With the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, Knox County supplied more than its quota of men and money to the Union cause. Of singular interest, however, was the war work done by Mary Ann Ball Bickerdyke, otherwise known to fame as Mother Bickerdyke. She became a second Florence Nightingale, visiting many Union camps and hospitals in her capacity as a nurse. On one occasion, Mother Bickerdyke returned to Knox County and, with tiie assistance of various women's organi- zations, gathered together 200 cows and 1,000 chickens. She then transported these to the Union Army at Memphis. Several years after her death in 1901 a statue in her honor was erected on the Knox County Courthouse grounds by tne Motlier Bickerdyke Memorial Association.

GALESBURG P.ECOMES COUNTY SEAT

As the population of Galesburg expanded rapidly during and after tlie Civil War, its citizens soon started a move- ment to have their city designated county seat. But this was strongly opposed by the citizens of Knoxvilie. After a " county seat war " of some years standing, however, Gales- burg finally succeeded in becoming the county's seat of justice in 1874. It was largely through the efforts of W. Selden Gale, son of the city's founder, that Galesburg obtained this honor.

18

THIRD COURTHOUSE

In tiie downtown district of Galesburg today stands Knox County's third courthouse. It was completed in 1886 at a cost of $156,261. Situated at one end of the city's tree- shaded Public Square, the Knox County Courtnouse is a three-story stone edifice surmounted by a corner clock tower; in general it follows the Gothic style of archi- tecture. When Galesburp first became county seat in 1873 and until the completion of the present courtnouse, the county maintained temporary headquarters in the Galesburg Opera House.

CARL SANDBURG BIRTHPLACE

Just twenty years after Abraham Lincoln engaged in one of his Great Debates with Senator Stephen A. Douglas on the campus of Knox College in Galesburg, there was born in a modest workman's cottage not far from the college campus a baby boy wliose name was entered in the county birth records as Carl Sandburg. Today, as almost all of America knows, Carl Sandburg is one of this country's foremost poets and perhaps its greatest autnority on the life of Abraham Lincoln.

In consequence of Carl Sandburg's present widespread fame as the author of a monumental six-volume biography of Lincoln and many other books in both prose and poetry, the plain little Galesburg cottage in waich he was born on Janurary 6, 1878, has now become a literary shrine. At tne

19

time of his birth here Carl Sandburg's father, a Swedish immigrant who never learned to write English, was employed as a blacksmith in the smoky Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad shops at Galesburg.

It was mainly through the efforts of Mrs. Adda George, a former Galesburg school teacher, that the Sandburg birth- place, located at 311 East Third Street, was set aside as a literary landmark, restored, and opened to the public as a Sandburg and Lincoln museum. The cottage is now owned and maintained by the Carl Sandburg Association, organized, by Mrs. George and composed of Marshall Field III, Adlai E. Stevenson, Professor Quincy Wright and other prominent Americansof today.

COUNTY HISTORIC LANDMARKS

In addition to the Carl Sandburg birthplace and the Knox College building associated with a Lincoln-Douglas debate, the county has several other historic landmarks, most of them located in Knoxville, the county's first seat of justice. Here may be found the Old Courthouse, Hall of Records and Jail, all dating from the mid-nineteenth cen- tury.

These landmarks, during the 1930' s when President Franklin D- Roosevelt was in office, were drawn to scale, photographed and recorded by staff architects of the north- ern Illinois unit of the Historic American Buildings Survey under the direction of Mr. Earl H. Reed, a prominent Chicago

20

architect. When this work was completed, copies of tne drawings and photographs were placed in the permanent keeping of tne Library of Congress and the Burnham Archi- tectural Library in the Art Institute at Chicago.

QTY OF GALESBURG

Beginning more taan a hundred years ago as a sedate, New Engl and- like college town, Galesburg city is now an important industrial and trading center of the western Illinois countryside. It is tue county seat and principal city of Knox County and in 1950 had a total population of 31,425 — — an increase of 8.8 per cent over its 1940 figure. It is also the chief trading center of a region with an estimated population of 123 , 0 00 .

Still in existence here is historic Knox College, founded by the Reverend George W. Gale a few years after he platted the town of Galesburg in 1836-1837. After the arri- val of tne first railroad in 1854, Galesburg quickly emerged into an industrial and shipping center, a development that was further accelerated when the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad built its shops and established its largest division headquarters in the city.

Galesburg is located 163 miles southwest of Chicago in the midst of a level, fertile, agricultural region noted for its corn and soybean crops and its beef cows and hogs. In addition to the Burlington, the city is served by the Santa Fe Railroad and by US highways 150 and 34 and State 41. Here also, is Galesburg Municipal Airport, principal landing field of Knox County.

HERMON

Laid out in 1842 by Archibald Long, early settler, the village of Hermon today has a population of sixty-six. It is located on the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railroad and not far from Hermon Creek. When first founded, the village was call- ed Harrisonville, but in 1848 its name was changed to Hermon when a postoffice was established here.

Hermon is the principal community of Chestnut Township, with a total population of 560. Earliest settler of the township was Anthon Dolph, who arrived in 1833. Next came John Terry, who became a justic of the peace. He once performed a marriage by standing on the bank of tlie Spoon River and shouting the ceremony across to a couple on the opposite bank, it being impossible for either party to cross in a boat because of high spring fioodwaters.

VICTORIA

Main part of the incorporated village of Victoria, with a total population of 469, lies in Victoria Township, loca- ted on the eastern border of Knox County. A smaller portion, numbering 140 inheibitants, is situated in adjoining Copley Township. The village is served by the Galesburg & Great Eastern Railroad and by State 167.

An impetus to its growth came when the Galesburg & Great Eastern Railroad was built through the village in 1899. Victoria is the only community in Victoria Township, which has a total population of 805. The township was settled as ear ly as 1835.

79

ETHERLEY

GILSON

A white grain elevator rising above its tree-lined streets, Gilson village is located in the fertile farming area lust southeast of Knoxville. In 1950 it had a pop- ulation of 169. It is served by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad and by state highways 8 and 97. The village was founded in 1857 by James Gilson and Linneus Richmond, early settlers.

Gilson is the only community in Haw Creek Township, which has a total population of 649. First to arrive in the township was Mrs. Elizabeth Gillmore Owen, a widow, who came with her son and daughters in 1829. Her son, Parnach Owen, became an early surveyor of Knox County. The first sermon in the township was preached by the Reverend Peter Cart- wright, pioneer ci rcui t- riding minister.

ABINGDON

About one-third of the city of Abingdon lies in Indian Point Township, its main portion being in adjacent Cedar Township. For a description of the city, the reader is re- ferred to the chapter on Cedar Township. That part of Abing- don in Indian Point Township has a population of 1,098. The total population of the township is 1,848. It was in 1829 that Azel Dorsey arrived and became the first settler of the township. He only remained a few years however, and wnen John B. Latimer arrived in 1834 ne became the township's first permanent settler.

195

ST. AUGUSTINE

Another community in Indian Point Township is St. Augustine village, with a population of 198. A white grain elevator rises above the tracks here of the Chicago, Bur- lington & Quincy Railroad, and through the village runs State 41. St. Augustine was laid out in 1854 by E. T. Byram after the railroad was built through the region.

THE ILLINOIS STATE FLAG

512

STATE FLAG OF ILLINOIS

Xllinuis' State Flag was officially adopted on July 6, 19H, after a vigorous campaign by Mrs. Ella Park Lawrence, State Regent of the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution.

Early in 1912, Mrs. Lawrence began visiting local D. A. R. chapters throughout Illinois seeking cooperation in promoting selection of an official State banner to place in the Continental Memorial flail in Washington, D. C. In 191 3, Mrs. Lawrence offered a prize of $2^.00 to the Illinois D. A. R. chapter submitting the best design for the banner. She also wrote to members of the General Assembly seeking their cooperation.

Four judges were then selected to choose the winning design. Thirty-five designs were submitted and the Rockford Chapter entry was chosen as Illinois' future emblem.

State Senator Raymond D. Meeker introduced the bfll which was to legalize the flag. After passage in the Senate it was pushed through the House of Represen- tatives, despite an overcrowded calendar.

The measure automatically became a law July 6, 191 S, when the Governor failed to affix his signature to the bill.

The first official flag, made in Washington, D. C, was three by five feet in size, of white silk. Flags were given by Mrs. Lawrence to Secretary of State;. Daughters of the American Revolution in Illinois; National Society Daughters of the American Revolution in Ilhnois; National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (to hang in Memorial Continental Hall, Washington, D. C); Rebecca Parke Chapter, Calesburg and the Illinois State Historical Society.

Visitors to Springfield cannot fail to notice the State Banner flanking the Stars and Stripes in the Rotunda at the State House. In the same juxtaposition it appears in the office of the Secretary of State. It is flown on ceremonial days by numerous patriotic bodies throughout the State. For officials and the pubUc alike it starids as a reminder of our greatness as a State and our pride in our membership in the United States of America.

To estimate the number of plants required for an acre at anv given distance, multiply the distance between the rows by the distance between the plants, which will give the number of square feet allotted to each plant and divide the number of square feet in an acre (43,560) by this number. The quotient will be the number of plants required.

GRAIN MEASURE.

To find the capacity of a Bin or Wagon-bed; multiply the cubic f«et by 8 (tenths). For great accuracy, add H of a bushel for every 100 cubic feet.

To find the cubic ft., multiply the length, width and depth together.

Find the capacity of a Bin 4 ft. wide, 5 ft. deep, and IS ft. long.

To get the exact answer 1 bu. is added for the 300 cubic ft.

4x5x15 =300 cubic ft.

Ans. 240.0 bus. 240-t-l =241 bus. exact ans.

How many bus. will a Wagon-bed hold, 10 ft. long, 3 ft. wide, 18 in. or IJ^^ ft. deep?

4S- A Bed 10 ft. long, 3 ft. wide will hold 2 bu. for every in. in depth.

1^4x3x10=45 cubic feet .8

Ans. 36.0 bus.

EAR CORN MEASURE.

To find the contents of a Corn crib; multiply the cubic feet by 4 and divide the product by 9*.

Find the contents of a Corn crib 18 ft. long, 7 ft. wide and 8 ft. high.

•NOTE — This allows 214 cubic ft. for a bu. It is the rule most generally used, and will hold out in ordinary good corn, even if measured at the time it is cribbed.

7x8x18 = 1008 cubic feet 4

9)4032

Ans. 448 bus.

TWO SIMPLE RULES FOR FINDING

THE CAPACITY OF ROUND BINS,

IN BUSHELS.

Where the dimensions measure exactly in feet; multiply the diameter by the diameter, multiply by the depth, multiply by .63.

Where the dimensions measure in inches; multiply the diameter by the diameter, multi- ply by the depth, multiply by .000365.

TO FIND THE QUANTITY OF GRAIN

WHEN HEAPED ON THE FLOOR

IN THE FORM OF A CONE.

Square the depth and square the slant height, in inches. Take their difference and mulUply by the depth, in inches. Multiply thjs product by .00048. The result will be the contents, m bushels.

TO FIND THE QUANTITY OF GRAIN WHEN HEAPED AGAINST A STRAIGHT WALL. Square one-half of the depth and proceed as in the previous rule.

5. Do not place any object or emblem of any kind on or above the flag of the United States.

6. Do not use the flag as drapery.

7. Do not fasten the flag in such manner as will permit it to be easily torn.

8. Do not drape the flag over the top or sides of a vehicle, train or boat.

9. Do not use the flag to drape over front of a platform or over chairs or benches.

10. Do not display the flag on a float in a parade except on a staff.

11. Do not use the flag as a ceiling covering.
