Shaubena had a reservation of two sections of land at his (J rove, Inn by leaving it and going west for a short time, the government de- clared the reservation forfeited, and sold it the same as other vacant land. ( >n Shaubena's return, and finding his possessions none, he was very sad and broken down in spirit, and left the Grove for ever. The citizens of Ottawa raised money and bought him a tract of land on the Illinois River, above Seneca, in Grundy County, on which they built a house and sup- plied him with means to live on. He lived here until his death, which occurred on the 17th of July, 1859, in the eighty-fourth year of his age, and was buried with great pomp in the cemetery at Morris. His squaw, Pokanoka, was drowned in Mazen Creek,Grundy County, on the 30th of November, 1864, and was buried by his side.

In 1861, subscriptions were taken up in many of the river towns, to erect a monument over the remains of Shaubena, hut. the war breaking out, tin: enterprise was abandoned. Only a plain marble slab marks the resting-place of this friend of the white man.

time additions have been made to these, until now the farm contains 240 acres, with capacious and comfortable buildings.

It is not entirely self-supporting, but the farm is turned to good account, the labor being performed by the inmates. The following re- port, made by the Farm Committee to the County Board of Supervisors for the year closing September 1, 1876, is given :

There is at present forty-eight inmates, classified as follows : In- sane 1:2, idiotic 8, cripples 2, homeless 26. Total days attendance for the year is 17,613, or 2,516 weeks. The greatest number any month was 58 in March; the least 41 in September. The average per month for the year — 51.

The total expenses of the institution to the county for the year has been as follows :

Bills allowed and due, -

Cash including Superintendents salary.

Deduct cash on hand, -

Total, .....

£3,651 79 1,050 00

[4,701 79 400 00

[4,301 79

This shows the entire expenses to the county for the year, and makes a cost of §1.70 per week for each person kept; if we deduct 6300 which has been expended for improvements and betterments, as fencing, paint- ing, etc., we find a net cost of $1.59 per week for each person kept.

There has been raised on the farm, the present season, 14 acres of oats, 70 acres of corn, 8 acres of potatoes, and vegetables of various kinds ; 60 tons of hay, which was put up in good time and condition ; of potatoes and vegetables we shall have a large supply. The corn is good ; the oats are poor, but fortunately we have a part of our last year's crop still on hand, so we shall not want in that direction ; we also have about 600 bushels of old corn on hand.

Of stock we have six horses, 35 head of cattle, 50 hogs and 100 pigs, all of which are looking well, and show that they have proper care and attention.

The Superintendent is Mr. D. C. Cooper.

Preface .

But few can realize the task involved in the publication of a work of this kind. We have to contend against ignorance, prejudice and selfishness. Ignorance of some people as to our objects, many refusing to give their names, for fear they will be used for some swindling purpose; or their politics, lest it be used to their discredit ;■ or how much property they own, fearing it is to increase their taxes. Prejudice of people who have subscribed through agents for publications, and, not having received what they expected, have forever thereafter sworn war- fare against all agents, without discriminating, or taking into consideration the absolute necessity of employing men under certain circumstances as the media between publisher and people. Selfishness by citizens who expect to have pub- lished, gratuitously, every thing they see fit to send us, which usually is of a per- sonal nature, or not relevant matter, and if published would be of no general interest, therefore we deem best to suppress it, thereby receiving their outspoken enmity. For this work we do not claim perfection; that would be an impossi- bility. Most townships have been gone over thoroughly, but still there are undoubtedly errors, mostly in spelling names and in dates. We have several cases in Bureau County where members of the same family spell their names in different ways, and a number of cases where the dates of births, of marriages, or when they came into the county, were improbable, and when brought to their notice, they had made a mistake generally of ten years in calculation. We give our agents the most positive instructions to be especially careful in getting names and dates, but ofttimes men are indifferent in giving required information, and when met on the road, at the threshing machine, or in the rain or cold, the information is given hurriedly or carelessly, and our agents are obliged to put it down as given them, and when copied, mistakes necessarily occur.

We have endeavored to get the names of all tax-payers and voters. We have about 7,400 names, the vote being about 6,100, which shows we could not have missed many. In our History of the County we have endeavored to give an interesting, condensed, and correct sketch. Our History of Illinois will give the reader some interesting and valuable historical facts. Our Laws should be carefully read by every \ business man and farmer; they contain invaluable information. In fact we have toiled long and at great expense, and have far exceeded our promises to make everything in these pages interesting and valu- able, and all you could expect or wish, and in your criticisms, please to bear in mind that in gathering, compiling and publishing a volume of this kind, perfec- tion would be an impossibility.

We wish to extend our sincere and warmest thanks to the citizens of Bureau County for their kind treatment, and for assistance rendered us in providing information for this work. They are too numerous to here name, but justice requires us to especially mention those of the editors of Bureau County Republican, Bureau County Tribune, and N. Matson, Esq.

History of Illinois.

The name of this beautiful Prairie State is derived from Illim, a Delaware word signifying Superior Men. It has a French termination, and is a symbol of how the two races — the French and the Indians — were intermixed during the early history of the country.

The appellation was no doubt well applied to the primitive inhabit- ants of the soil whose prowess in savage warfare long withstood the combined attacks of the fierce Iroquois on the one side, and the no less savage and relentless Sacs and Foxes on the other. The Illinois were once a powerful confederacy, occupying the most beautiful and fertile region in the great Valley of the Mississippi, which their enemies coveted and struggled long and hard to wrest from them. By the fortunes of war they were diminished in numbers, and finally destroyed. " Starved Rock," on the Illinois River, according to tradition, commemorates their last tragedy, where, it is said, the entire tribe starved rather than sur- render.

FARLY DISCOVERIES.

The first European discoveries in Illinois date back over two hun- dred years. They are a part of that movement which, from the begin- ning to the middle of the seventeenth century, brought the French Canadian missionaries and fur trailers into the Valley of the Mississippi, and which, at a later period, established the civil and ecclesiastical authority of France from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico, and from the foot-hills of the Alleghanies to the Rocky Mountains.

The great river of the West had been discovered by DeSoto, the Spanish conqueror of Florida, three quarters of a century before the French founded Quebec in 1608, but the Spanish left the country a wil- derness, without further exploration or settlement within its borders, in which condition it remained until the Mississippi was discovered by the agents of the French Canadian government, Jolietand Marquette, in 1673. These renowned explorers were not the first white visitors to Illinois. In 1671 — two years in advance of them — came Nicholas Perrot to Chicago. He had been sent by Talon as an agent of the Canadian government to 2

call a great peace convention of Western Indians at Green Bay, prepara- tory to the movemenl for the discovery of the Mississippi. Ii was deemedagood stroke of policy to seem-,., as far as possible, the friend- ship and co-operation of the Indians, far and near, before venturing upon an enter] .rise which their hostility mighl render disastrous, and which their friendship and assistance would do so much to make successful ; and to this end Perrol was Benl to call together in council the tribes throughout the Northwest, and to promise them the commerce and pro- tection of the French government. He accordingly arrived at Green Bay in 1671, and procuring an escort of Pottawattamies, proceeded in a bark canoe upon a visit to the Miamis, at Chicago. Perrot was there- fore the first European to set foot upon the soil of Illinois.

Still there were others before Marquette. In 1672, the Jesuit mis- sionaries, Fathers Claude Allouez and Claude Dablon, bore the standard of the Cross from their mission a1 Green Bay through western Wisconsin and northern Illinois, visiting the Foxes on Fox River, and the Masquo- tines and Kickapoos at the mouth of the Milwaukee. These missionaries penetrated on the route afterwards followed by Marquette as far as the Kickapoo village at the head of Lake Winnebago, where Marquette, in his journey, secured guides across the portage to the Wisconsin.

The oft-repeated story of Marquette and Joliet is well known. They were the agents employed by the Canadian government to discover the Mississippi. Marquette was a native of France, born in li»o7, a Jesuit priest by education, and a man of simple faith and of great Zealand devotion in extending the Roman Catholic religion among the Indians. Arriving in Canada in 1666, he was sent as a missionary to the far Northwest, and, in 1668, founded a mission at Sault Ste. Marie. The following year he moved to La Pointe, in Lake Superior, where he instructed a branch of the Hurons till 1070, when he removed south, and founded the mission at St. Igna.ce, on the Straits of Mackinaw. Here he remained, devoting a portion of his time to the study of the Illinois language under a native teacher who had accompanied him to the mission from La Pointe, till he was joined by Joliet in the Spring of 1673. By the way of Green Bay and the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers, they entered the Mississippi, which they explored to the mouth of the Arkansas, and returned by the way of the Illinois and Chicago Rivers to Lake Michigan.

On his way up the Illinois, Marquette visited the great village of the Kaskaskias, near what is now Iltica, in the county of LaSalle. The following yea:' he returned and established among them the mission of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, which was the first Jesuit mission founded in [liinois and in the Mississippi Valley. The intervening winter he had spent in a hut which his companions erected on the Chicago River, a few leagues from its mouth. The founding of this mission was the last

HISTORY OF THE STATK OF ILLINOIS. 15

act of Marquette's life. He died in Michigan, on his way back to Green Bay, May 18, 1675.

FIRST FRENCH OCCUPATION.

The first French occupation of the territory now embraced in Illi- nois was effected by LaSalle in 1680, seven years after the time of Mar- quette and Joliet. LaSalle, having constructed a vessel, the " Griffin," above the falls of Niagara, which he sailed to Green Bay, and having passed thence in canoes to the mouth of the St. Joseph River, by which and the Kankakee he reached the Illinois, in January, 1680, erected Fort Crevecoeur, at the lower end of Peoria Lake, where the city of Peoria is now situated. The place where this ancient fort stood may still be seen just below the outlet of Peoria Lake. It was destined, however, to a temporary existence. From this point, LaSalle determined to descend the Mississippi to its mouth, but did not accomplish this purpose till two years later — in 1682. Returning to Fort Frontenac for the purpose of getting materials witli which to rig his vessel, he left the fort in charge of Touti, his lieutenant, who during his absence was driven off by the Iro- quois Indians. These savages had made a raid upon the settlement of the Illinois, and had left nothing in their track but ruin and desolation. Mr. Davidson, in his History of Illinois, gives the following graphic account of the picture that met the eyes of LaSalle and his companions on their return :

" At the great town of the Illinois they were appalled at the scene which opened to their view. No hunter appeared to break its death-like silence with a salutatory whoop ot welcome. The plain on which the town had stood was now strewn with charred fragments of lodges, which had so recently swarmed with savage life and hilarity. To render more hideous the picture of desolation, large numbers of skulls had been placed on the upper extremities of lodge-poles which had escaped the devouring flames. In the midst of these horrors was the rude fort of the spoilers, rendered frightful by the same ghastly relics. A near approach showed that the graves had been robbed of their bodies, and swarms of buzzards were discovered glutting their loathsome stomachs on the reeking corruption. To complete the work of destruction, the growing corn of the village had been cut down and burned, while the pits containing the products of previous years, had been rifled and their contents scattered with wanton waste. It was evident the suspected blow of the Iroquois had fallen with relentless fury."

Touti had escaped LaSalle knew not whither. Passing down the lake in search of him and his men, LaSalle discovered that the fort had been destroyed, but the vessel which he had partly constructed was still

on (lie stocks ami but slightly Injured. A.fter further fruitless search,

failing to find Touti, he fastened to a tree a painting representing liimself

and party sitting in a canoe and bearing a pipe of peace, and to the paint- ing attached a lettet addressed to Touti.

Touti had escaped, and, after untold privations, taken shelter among the Pottawattamies nearGreen Kay. These were friendly to the French. One of their old chiefs used to say, "There were luit three great cap- tains in the world, himself, Touti and LaSalle."

GENIUS OF LaSALLE.

We must now return to LaSalle, whose exploits stand out in siteh hold relief. He was horn in Rouen, France, in 1643. His father was wealthy, but he renounced his patrimony on entering a college of the

Jesuits, from which he separated and came to Canada a [ r man in 16G6.

The priests of St. Sulpice, among whom lie had a brother, were then the proprietors of Montreal, the nucleus of which was a seminary or con- vent founded by that order. The Superior granted to LaSalle a large tract of land at LaChine, where he established himself in the fur trade. He was a man of daring genius, and outstripped all his competitors in exploits of travel and commerce with the Indians. In 1G69, he visited the headquarters of the great Iroquois Confederacy, at Onondaga, in the heart of New York, and, obtaining guides, explored the Ohio River to the falls at Louisville.

In order to understand the genius of LaSalle, it must lie remembered that for many years prior to his time the missionaries and traders were obliged to make their way to the Northwest by the Ottawa River (of Canada) on account of the fierce hostility of the Iroquois along the lower lake, and Niagara River, which entirely closed this latter route to the Upper Lakes. They carried on their commerce chiefly by canoes, pad- dling them through the Ottawa to Lake Nipissing, carrying them across the portage to French River, and descending that to Lake Huron. This being the route by which they reached the Northwest, accounts for the fact that all the earliest Jesuit missions were established in the neighbor- hood of the Upper Lakes. LaSalle conceived the grand idea of opening the route by Niagara River and the Lower Lakes to Canadian commerce by sail vessels, connecting if with the navigation of the Mississippi, and thus opening a magnificent water communication from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico. This truly grand and comprehensive purpose seems to have animated him in all his wonderful achievements and the matchless difficulties and hardships he surmounted. As the first step mi the accomplishment of this object lie established himself on Lake Ontario, and built and garrisoned Fort Frontenac, the site; of the present

HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 17

city of Kingston, Canada. Here he obtained a grant of land from the French crown and a hod}' of troops by which he beat back the invading Iroquois and cleared the passage to Niagara Falls. Having by this mas- terly stroke made it safe to attempt a hitherto untried expedition, his next step, as we have seen, was to advance to the Falls with all his outfit for building a ship with which to sail the lakes. He was success- ful in this undertaking, though his ultimate purpose was defeated by a strange combination of untoward circumstances. The Jesuits evidently hated LaSalle and plotted against him, because he had abandoned them and co-operated with a rival order. The fur traders were also jealous of his superior success in opening new channels of commerce. At LaChine he had taken the trade of Lake Ontario, which but for his presence there would have gone to Quebec. While they were plodding with their bark canoes through the Ottawa lie was constructing sailing vessels to com- mand the trade of the lakes and the Mississippi. These great plans excited the jealousy and envy of the small traders, introduced treason and revolt into the ranks of his own companions, and finally led to the foul assassination by which his great achievements were prematurely ended.

In 1682, LaSalle, having completed his vessel at Peoria, descended the Mississippi to its confluence with the Gulf of Mexico. Erecting a standard on which he insci-ibed the arms of France, he took formal pos- session of the whole valley of the mighty river, in the name of Louis XIV., then reigning, in honor of whom he named the country Louisiana.

LaSalle then went to France, was appointed Governor, and returned with a fleet and immigrants, for the purpose of planting a colony in Illi- nois. They arrived in due time in the Gulf of Mexico, but failing to find the mouth of the Mississippi, up which LaSalle intended to sail, his supply ship, with the immigrants, was driven ashore and wrecked on Matagorda Bay. With the fragments of the vessel he constructed a stockade and rude huts on the shore for the protection of the immigrants, calling the post Fort St. Louis. He then made a trip into New Mexico, in search of silver mines, but, meeting with disappointment, returned to find bis little colony reduced to forty souls. He then resolved to travel on foot to Illinois, and, starting with his companions, had reached the valley of the Colorado, near the mouth of Trinity river, when he was shot by one of his men. This occurred on the 19th of March, 1687.

Dr. J. W. Foster remarks of him : " Thus fell, not far from the banks of the Trinity, Robert Cavalier de la Salle, one of the grandest charac- ters that ever figured in American history — a man capable of originating the vastest schemes, and endowed with a will and a judgment capable of carrying them to successful results. Had ample facilities been placed by the King of France at his disposal, the result of the colonization of this continent micrht have been far different from what we now behold."

18 HISTOKV OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

EARLY SETTLEMENTS.

A temporary settlemenl was made al Fori St. Louis, or the old Kas- kaskia village, on the Illinois River, in what is now LaSalle County, in 1682. In 1690, this was removed, with the mission connected with it, to Kaskaskia, on the river of thai name, emptying into the lower Mississippi in St,. Clair County. Cahokia was settled aboul the same time, or al

least, both of these set 1 lenient s began in the year L690, though it is now

pretty well settled^ that Cahokia is the older place, and ranks as the oldest permanent settlement in Illinois, as well as in the Mississippi Valley.

The reason for the re val of the old Kaskaskia sett lenient and mission,

was probably because the dangerous and difficult route by Lake Michigan and the Chicago portage had been almost abandoned, and travelers ami

traders passed down and up the Mississippi by the Fox and Wisconsin River route. They removed to tin- vicinity of the Mississippi in order to be in the line of travel from Canada to Louisiana, that is, the lower part of if, for it was all Louisiana then south of the lakes.

During the period of French rule in Louisiana, the population prob- ably never exceeded ten thousand, including whites and blacks. Within that portion of it now included in Indiana, trading posts were established at the principal Miami villages which stood on the head waters of the Maumee, the Wen villages situated at Ouiatenon, on the Wabash, and the Piankeshaw villages at Post Vincennes; all of which were probably visited by French traders and missionaries before the close of the seven- teenth century.

In the vast territory claimed by the French, many settlements of considerable importance had sprung up. Uiloxi, on Mobile Bay, had been founded by D'Iberville, in 1699; Antoine de Lamotte Cadillac had founded Detroit in 1701; and New Orleans had been founded by Bien- ville, under the auspices of the Mississippi Company, in 17ls. In Illi- nois also, considerable settlements had been made, so that in 17:10 they embraced one hundred and forty French families, about six hundred "con- verted Indians," and many traders and voyageurs. In that portion of the country, on the east side of the Mississippi, there were live distinct set- tlements, with their respective villages, viz.: Cahokia, near the mouth of Cahokia Creek and about live miles below the present city of St. Louis; St. Philip, about forty-five miles below Cahokia. and four miles above Fort Chartres ; Fort Chartres, twelve miles above Kaskaskia; Kaskaskia, situated on the Kaskaskia River, live miles above its conflu- ence with the Mississippi ; and Prairie du Rocher, near Fort Chartres. To these must be added St. (ienevieve and St. Louis, on the west side of the Mississippi. These, with the exception of St. Louis, are among

HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 19

the oldest French towns in the Mississippi Valley. Kaskaskia, in its best days, was a town of some two or three thousand inhabitants. After it passed from the crown of France its population for many years did not exceed fifteen hundred. Under British rule, in 1773, the population had decreased to four hundred and fifty. As early as 1721, the Jesuits had established a college and a monastery in Kaskaskia.

Fort Chartres was first built under the direction of the Mississippi Company, in 1718, by M. de Boisbraint, a military officer, under command of Bienville. It stood on the east bank of the Mississippi, about eighteen miles below Kaskaskia, and was for some time the headquarters of the military commandants of the district of Illinois.

In the Centennial Oration of Dr. Fowler, delivered at Philadelphia, by appointment of Gov. Beveridge, we find some interesting facts with regard to the State of Illinois, which we appropriate in this history:

In 1682 Illinois became a possession of the French crown, a depend- ency of Canada, and a part of Louisiana. In 1765 the English flag was run up on old Fort Chartres, and Illinois was counted among the treas- ures of Great Britain.

In 1779 it was taken from the English by Col. George Rogers Clark. This man was resolute in nature, wise in council, prudent in policy, bold in action, and heroic in danger. Few men who have figured in the his- tory of America are more deserving than this colonel. Nothing short of first-class ability could have rescued Vincens and all Illinois from the English. And it is not possible to over-estimate the influence of this achievement upon tlie republic. In 1779 Illinois became a part of Vir- ginia. It was soon known as Illinois County. In 1784 Virginia ceded all this territory to the general government, to be cut into States, to be republican in form, with " the same right of sovereignty, freedom, and independence as the other States."

In 1787 it was the object of the wisest and ablest legislation found in any merely human records. No man can study the secret history of

THE "COMPACT OF 1787,"

and not feel that Providence was guiding with sleepless eye these unborn States. The ordinance that on July 13, 1787, finally became the incor- porating act, has a most marvelous history. Jefferson had vainly tried to secure a system of government for the northwestern territory. He was an emancipationist of that day, and favored the exclusion of slavery from the territory Virginia had ceded to the general government; but the South voted him down as often as it came up. In 1787, as late as July 10, an organizing act without the anti-slavery clause was pending. This concession to the South was expected to carry it. Congress was in

session in New Fork City. < >" .July."), Rev. Dr. Manasseh Cutler, of Massachusetts, came into New York to lobby on the northwestern terri- tory. Everything seemed to fall into his hands. Events wire ripe.

The stale of the public credit, the growing of Southern prejudice, the basis of his mission, his personal character, all combined to complete one of those sudden and marvelous revolutions of public sentiment that once in five or ten centuries are seen to sweep over a country like the breath of the Almighty. Cutler was a graduate of Yale — received his A.M. from Harvard, and his D.I), from Yale, lie had studied and taken degrees in the three learned professions, medicine, law, and divinity. He had thus America's best indorsement. He had published a seientitie examination of the plants of New England. His name stood second only to that of Franklin as a scientist in America. He was a courtly gentle- man of the old style, a man of commanding presence, and of inviting face. The Southern members said they had never seen such a gentleman in the North. He came representing a company that desired to purchase a tract of land now included in Ohio, for the purpose of planting a colony. It was a speculation. Government money was worth eighteen cents on the dollar. This Massachusetts company had collected enough to pur- chase 1,500,000 acres of land. Other speculators in New York made Dr. Cutler their agent (lobbyist). On the 12th he represented a demand for 5,500,000 acres. This would reduce the national debt. Jefferson and Virginia were regarded as authority concerning the land Virginia had just ceded. Jefferson's policy wanted to provide for the public credit, and this was a good opportunity to do something.

Massachusetts then owned the territory of Maine, which she was crowding on the market. She was opposed to opening the northwestern region. This fired the zeal of Virginia. The South caught the inspira- tion, and all exalted Dr. Cutler. The English minister invited him to dine with some of the Southern gentlemen. lie was the center of interest.

The entire South rallied round him. Massachusetts could not vote againsl him. because many of the constituents of her members were interested personally in the western speculation. Thus Cut ler, making friends with the South, and, doubtless, using all the arts of the lobby, was enabled to command the situation. True to deeper convictions, he dictated one of the most compael and finished documents of wise states- manship thai has ever adorned any human law book, lb' borrowed from Jefferson the term " Articles of Compact," which, preceding the federal constitution, rose into the most sacred character. He then followed very closely the constitution of Massachusetts, adopted three years before. Its most marked points w ere :

1. The exclusion of slavcrv from ihe territory forever.

2. Provision for public schools, giving one township for a seminary.

HISTOKY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 21

and every section numbered 16 in each township ; that is, one-thirty-sixth of all the land, for public schools.

3. A provision prohibiting the adoption of any constitution or the enactment of any law that should nullify pre-existing contracts.

Be it forever remembered that this compact declared that " Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall always, be encouraged."

Dr. Cutler planted himself on this platform and would not yield. Giving his unqualified declaration that it was that or nothing — that unless- they could make the land desirable they did not want it — he took his horse and buggy, and started for the constitutional convention in Phila- delphia. On July 13, 1787, the bill was put upon its passage, and was unanimously adopted, every Southern member voting for it, and only one man, Mr. Yates, of New York, voting against it. But as the States voted as States, Yates lost his vote, and the compact was put beyond repeal.

Thus the great States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wis- consin— a vast empire, the heart of the great valley — were consecrated to freedom, intelligence, and honesty. Thus the great heart of the nation was prepared for a year and a day and an hour. In the light of these eighty- nine years I affirm that this act was the salvation of the republic and the destruction of slavery. Soon the South saw their great blunder, and tried to repeal the compact. In 1803 Congress referred it to a committee of which John Randolph was chairman. He reported that this ordinance was a compact, and opposed repeal. Thus it stood a rock, in the way of the on-rushing sea of slavery.

With all this timely aid it was, after all, a most desperate and pro- tracted struggle to keep the soil of Illinois sacred to freedom. It was the natural battle-field for the irrepressible conflict. In the southern end of the State slavery preceded the compact. It existed among the old French settlers, and was hard to eradicate. The southern part of the State was settled from the slave States, and this population brought their laws, customs, and institutions with them. A stream of population from the North poured into the northern part of the State. These sections misunderstood and hated each other perfectly. The Southerners regarded the Yankees as a skinning, tricky, penurious race of peddlers, filling the country with tinware, brass clocks, and wooden nutmegs. The North- erner thought of the Southerner as a lean, lank, lazy creature, burrowing in a hut, and rioting in whisky, dirt and ignorance. These causes aided in making the struggle long and bitter. So strong was the sympathy with slavery that, in spite of the ordinance of 1787, and in spite of the deed of cession, it was determined to allow the old French settlers to retain their slaves. Planters from the slave States might bring their

slaves, if they would give them a chance to choose freedom or years of service and bondage for their children till they should become

thirty years of age. If they chose freedom they must leave the State in sixtv days or be sold as fugitives. Servants were whipped for offenses for which white men are fined. Each lash paid forty cents of the fine. A negro ten miles from home without a pass was whipped. These famous laws were imported from the slave States just as they imported laws for the inspection of tlax and wool when there was neither in the State.

These Black Laws are now wiped out. A vigorous effort was made to protect slavery in the State Constitution of 1817. It barely failed. It was renewed in 1825, when a convention was asked to make a new constitution. Alter a hard fight the convention was defeated. But slaves did not disappear from the census of the State until 1850. There were mobs and murders in the interest of slavery. Lovejoy was added to the list of martyrs — a sort of first-fruits of that long life of immortal heroes who saw freedom as the one supreme desire of their souls, and were so enamored of her that they preferred to die rather than survive her.

The population of 12,282 that occupied the territory in A.I). 1800, increased to 45,000 in A.D. 1818, when the State Constitution was adopted, and Illinois took her place in the Union, with a star on the flag and two votes in the Senate.

Shadrach Bond was the first Governor, and in his first message he recommended the construction of the Illinois and Michigan Canal.

The simple economy in those days is seen in the fact that the entire hill for stationery for the first Legislature was onlj $13.50. Yet this simple body actually enacted a very superior code.

There was no money in the territory before the war of 1812. Deer skins and coon skins were the circulating medium. In 1S21, the Legis- lature ordained a State Bank on the credit of the State. It issued notes in the likeness of bank hills. These notes were made a Legal tender for every thing, and the bank was ordered to loan to the people $100 on per- sonal security, and more on mortgages. They actually passed a, resolu- tion requesting the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States to receive these notes for land. The old French Lieutenant Governor, Col. Menard, pul the resolution as follows : " Gentlemen of the Senate: It is moved and seconded ,/.(/ de notes of <//.* hunk he made land-oiliee money. All in favor of dat motion say aye: all against it say no. It is decided in de affirmative. Now, gentlemen. I bel you one hundred dollar he never be land-office money!" Hard sense, like hard money, is always

above par.

This old Frenchman presents a line figure up againsl the dark back- ground of most of his nation. They made no progress. They clung to their earliest and simplest implements. They never wore hats or caps.

They pulled their blankets over their heads in the winter like the Indians, with whom they freely intermingled.

Demagogism had an early development. One John Grammar (only in name), elected to the Territorial and State Legislatures of 1816 and 1836, invented the policy of opposing every new thing, saying, " If it succeeds, no one will ask who voted against it. If it proves a failure, he could quote its record." In sharp contrast with Grammar was the char- acter of D. P. Cook, after whom the county containing Chicago was named. Such was his transparent integrity and remarkable ability that his will was almost the law of the State. In Congress, a young man, and from a poor State, he was made Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. He was pre-eminent for standing by his committee, regard- less of consequences. It was his integrity that elected John Quincy Adams to the Presidency. There were four candidates in 1824, Jackson, Clay, Crawford, and John Quincy Adams. There being no choice by the people, the election was thrown into the House. It was so balanced that it turned on his vote, and that he cast for Adams, electing him ; then went home to face the wrath of the Jackson party in Illinois. It cost him all but character and greatness. It is a suggestive comment on the times, that there was no legal interest till 1830. It often reached 150 per cent., usually 50 per cent. Then it was reduced to 12, and now to 10 per cent.

PHYSICAL FEATURES OF THE PRAIRIE STATE.

In area the State lias 55,410 square miles of territory. It is about 150 miles wide and 400 miles long, stretching in latitude from Maine to North Carolina. It embraces wide variety of climate. It is tempered on the north by the great inland, saltless, tideless sea, which keeps the thermometer from either extreme. Being a table land, from 600 to 1,600 feet above the level of the sea, one is prepared to find on the health maps, prepared by the general government, an almost clean and perfect record. In freedom from fever and malarial diseases and consumptions, the three deadly enemies of the American Saxon, Illinois, as a State, stands without a superior. She furnishes one of the essential conditions of a great people — sound bodies. I suspect that this fact lies back of that old Delaware word, Illini, superior men.

The great battles of history that have been determinative of dynas- ties and destinies have been strategical battles, chiefly the question of position. Thermopylae has been the war-cry of freemen for twenty-four centuries. It only tells how much there may be in position. All this advantage belongs to Illinois. It is in the heart of the greatest valley in the world, the vast region between the mountains — a valley that could

feed mankind for one thousand years. It is well on toward the Center of the continent. It is in the ureal temperate belt, in which have been found nearly all the aggressive civilizations of history. It has sixty-five miles of frontage on the bead of the lake. With the .Mississippi forming the western and southern boundary, with the Ohio running along the southeastern line, with the Illinois River and Canal dividing the State diagonally from the lake to the Lower Mississippi, and with the Rock and Wabash Rivers furnishing altogether 2,000 miles of water-front, con- necting with, and running through, in all about 12,000 miles of navi- gable water.

But this is not all. These waters are made most available by the fact that the lake and the State lie on the ridge running into the great valley from the east. Within cannon-shot of the lake the water runs away from the lake to the Gulf. The lake now empties at both ends, one into the Atlantic and one into the Gulf of Mexico. The lake thus seems to hang over the land. This makes the dockage most serviceable; there are no steep hanks to damage it. Both lake and river are made for use.

The climate varies from Portland to Richmond : it favors every pro- duct of the continent, including the tropics, with less than half a dozen exceptions. It produces every great nutriment of the world except ban- anas and rice. It is hardly too much to say that it is the most productive spot known to civilization. With the soil full of bread and the earth full of minerals; with an upper surface of food and an under layer of fuel; with perfect natural drainage, and abundant springs and streams and navigable rivers ; half way between the forests of the North and the fruits of the South : within a day's ride of the great deposits of iron, coal, cop- per, lead, and zinc; containing and controlling the great grain, cattle, pork, and lumber markets of the world, it is not strange thai Illinois has the advantage of position.

This advantage has been supplemented by the character of the popu- lation. In the early days when Illinois was first admitted to the Union, her population were chiefly from Kentucky and Virginia. But, in the conflict of ideas concerning slavery, a strong tide of emigration came in from the East, and soon changed this composition. In 1870 her non- native population were from colder soils. New York furnished L33,290 ; Ohio gave 1.62,623 ; Pennsylvania sen! on 98,352; the entire South gave us only 206,734. In all her cities, and in all her German and Scandina- vian and other foreign colonies, Illinois has only about one-fifth of her people of foreign birth.

PROGRESS OF DEVELOPMENT.

One of the greatest elements in the early development of Illinois is the Illinois and Michigan Canal, connecting the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers with the lakes. It was of the utmost importance to the State. It was recommended by Gov. Bond, the first governor, in his first message. In 1821, the Legislature appropriated $10,000 for surveying the route. Two bright young engineers surveyed it, and estimated the cost at $600,000 or $700,000. It finally cost $8,000,000. In 1825, a law was passed to incorporate the Canal Company, but no stock was sold. In 1826, upon the solicitation of Cook, Congress gave 800,000 acres of land on the line of the work. In 1828, another law — commissioners appointed, and work commenced with new survey and new estimates. In 1834-35, George Farquhar made an able report on the whole matter. This was, doubtless, the ablest report ever made to a western legislature, and it became the model for subsequent reports and action. From this the work went on till it was finished in 1848. It cost the State a large amount of money ; but it gave to the industries of the State an impetus that pushed it up into the first rank of greatness. It was not built as a speculation any more than a doctor is employed on a speculation. But it has paid into the Treasury of the State an average annual net sum of over $111,000.

Pending the construction of the canal, the land and town-lot fever broke out in the State, in 1834-35. It took on the malignant type in Chicago, lifting the town up into a city. The disease spread over the entire State and adjoining States. It was epidemic. It cut up men's farms without regard to locality, and cut up the purses of the purchasers without regard to consequences. It is estimated that building lots enough were sold in Indiana alone to accommodate every citizen then in the United States.

Towns and cities were exported to the Eastern market by the ship- load. There was no lack of buyers. Every up-ship came freighted with speculators and their money.

This distemper seized upon the Legislature in 1836-37, and left not one to tell the tale. They enacted a system of internal improvement without a parallel in the grandeur of its conception. They ordered the construction of 1,300 miles of railroad, crossing the State in all direc- tions. This was surpassed by the river and canal improvements. There were a few counties not touched by either railroad or river or canal, and those were to be comforted and compensated by the free dis- tribution of $200,000 among them. To inflate this balloon beyond cre- dence it was ordered that work should be commenced on both ends of

each tit' these railroads and rivers, and al each river-crossing, all at the same time. The appropriations for these vasl improvements were over

? 12. 01)0,000. and ti mi miss irs were appointed to borrow the monej on

the credit of the State. Remember that all this was in the earlj days of railroading, when railroads were luxuries: thai the State had whole counties with scarcely a cabin; and thai the population of the State was le» than 100,000, and you can form some idea of the vigor with which these brave men undertook the work of making a great State. In (he light of history I am compelled to say that this was only a premature throb of the power that actually slumbered in the soil of the State. It was Hercules in the cradle.

At this juncture the State Hank loaned its funds largely to Godfrey Oilman & Co., and to other leading houses, for the purpose of drawing trade from St. Louis to Alton. Soon they failed, and took down the bank with t hem.

In IS 10, all hope seemed gone. A population of 4S0.000 were loaded with a debt of $14,000,000. It had only six small cities, really only towns, namely : Chicago, Alton, Springfield, Quincy, Galena, Nauvoo. This delit was to be cared for when there was not a dollar in the treas- ury, and when the State had borrowed itself out of all credit, and when there was not good money enough in the hands of all the people to pay the interest of the debt for a single year. Yet, in the presence of all these difficulties, the young State steadily refused to repudiate. Gov. Ford took hold of the problem and solved it. bringing the State through in triumph.

Having touched lightly upon some of the more distinctive points in the history of the development of Illinois, let us next briefly consider the

MATERIAL RESOURCES OF THE STATE.

It is a garden four hundred miles long and one hundred and fifty miles wide. Its soil is chiefly a black sandy loam, from six inches to sixty i'eel thick. On the American bottoms it has been cultivated for one hundred and fifty years without renewal. About the old French towns it has yielded com for a century and a half without rest or help. It produces nearlj everything green in the temperate and tropical zones. She leads all other Stales in the number of acres actually under plow. Her products from 25,000,000 of acres are incalculable. Her mineral wealth is scarcely second to her agricultural power. She has coal, iron, lead, copper, zinc, many varieties of building stone, tire clay, cuiiia clay, common brick clay, sand of all kinds, gravel, mineral paint— ever} thing needed for a high civilization. Left to herself, she has the elements of all greatness. The single item of coal As too vast for an appreciative

handling in figures. We can handle it in general terms like algebraical signs, but long before we get up into the millions and billions the human mind drops down from comprehension to mere symbolic apprehension.

When I tell you that nearly four-fifths of the entire State is under- laid with a deposit of coal more than forty feet thick on the average (now estimated, by recent surveys, at seventy feet thick), you can get some idea of its amount, as you do of the amount of the national debt. There it is ! 41,000 square miles — one vast mine into which you could put any of the States ; in which you could bury scores of European and ancient empire-;, and have room enough all round to work without know- ing that they bad been sepulchered there.

Put this vast coal-bed down by the other great coal deposits of the world, and its importance becomes manifest. Great Britain has 12,000 square miles of coal ; Spain, 3,000; France, 1,719; Belgium, 578; Illinois about twice as many square miles as all combined. Virginia has 20,000 square miles; Pennsylvania, 16,000; Ohio, 12,000. Illinois has 41,000 square miles. One-seventh of all the known coal on this continent is in Illinois.

Could we sell the coal in this single State for one-seventh of one cent a ton it would pay the national debt. Converted into power, even with the wastage in our common engines, it would do more work than could be done by the entire race, beginning at Adam's wedding and working ten hours a day through all the centuries till the present time, and right on into the future at the same rate for the next 600,000 years.

Great Britain uses enough mechanical power to-day to give to each man, woman, and child in the kingdom the help and service of nineteen untiring servants. No wonder she has leisure and luxuries. No wonder the home of the common artisan has in it more luxuries than could be found in the palace of good old King Arthur. Think, if you can conceive of it, of the vast army of servants that slumber in the soil of Illinois, impatiently awaiting the call of Genius to come forth to minister to our comfort.

At the present rate of consumption England's coal supply will be exhausted in 250 years. When this is gone she must transfer her dominion either to the Indies, or to British America, which I would not resist ; or to some other people, which I would regret as a loss to civilization.

COAL IS KING.

At the same rate of consumption (which far exceeds our own) the deposit of coal in Illinois will last 120,000 years. And her kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom.

Let us turn now from this reserve power to the annual products of

the State. We shall not be humiliated in this field. Here we strike the secret of our national credit. Nature provides a maikel in the constant

appetite of the race. Men must eat, and if we ran furnish the provisions we oan command the treasure. All that a man hath will he give for his life.

According to the last census Illinois produced -50,000,000 of bushels of wheat. That is more wheal than was raised by any other State in the Union. She raised lasl year 130,000,000 of bushels of corn — twice as much as any other State, and one-sixth of all the corn raised in the United States. She harvested :i, 747, 000 tons of hay, nearly one-tenth of all the hay in the Republic. It is not generally appreciated, but it is true, that the hay crop of the country is worth more than the cotton crop. The hay of Illinois equals the cotton of Louisiana. (Jo to Charleston, S. C, and see them peddling handfuls of hay or grass, almost as a curiosity, as we regard Chinese gods or the cryolite of Greenland; drink your coffee and conl,ns,,l milk; and walk back from the coast for many a league through the .-and and burs till you get up into the better atmos- phere of the mountains, without seeing a waving meadow or a grazing herd ; then you will begin to appreciate the meadows of the Prairie State, where the grass often grows sixteen feet high.

The value of her farm implements is ¥-11,000,000, and the value of her livestock is only second to the great State of New York. Last year she had 25,000,000 hogs, and packed 2,113,845, about one-half of all that were packed in the United States. This is no insignificant item. Pork is a growing demand of the old world. Since the laborers of Europe have gotten a taste of our bacon, and we have learned how to pack it dry in boxes, like dry goods, the world has become the market.

The hog is on the march into the future. His nose is ordained to uncover the secrets of dominion, and his feet shall be guided by the star of empire.

Illinois marketed $57,000,000 worth of slaughtered animals — more than any other State, and a seventh of all the States.

Be patient with me, and pardon my pride, and I will give you a list of some of the things in which Illinois excels all other States.

Depth and richness of soil ; per cent, of good ground ; acres of improved land; large farms — some farms contain from 40,000 to 00,000 acres of cultivated land, 40,000 acres of corn on a .-.ingle farm : number of fanners : amount of wheat, corn, oats and honey produced ; value of ani- mals for slaughter : number of hogs; amount .of pork: number of horses — three times as many as Kentucky, the horse State.

Illinois excels all other States in miles of railroads and in miles of postal service, and in money orders sold per annum, and in the amount of lumber sold in her markets.

HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 29

Illinois is only second in many important matters. This sample list comprises a few of the more important : Permanent school fund (good for a young state) ; total income for educational purposes ; number of pub- lishers of books, maps, papers, etc.; value of farm products and imple- ments, and of live stock ; in tons of coal mined.

The shipping of Illinois is only second to New York. Out of one port during the business hours of the season of navigation she sends forth a vessel every ten minutes. This does not include canal boats, which go one every five minutes. No wonder she is only second in number of bankers and brokers or in physicians and surgeons.

She is third in colleges, teachers and schools ; cattle, lead, hay, flax, sorghum and beeswax.

She is fourth in population, in children enrolled in public schools, in law schools, in butter, potatoes and carriages.

She is fifth in value of real and personal property, in theological seminaries and colleges exclusively for women, in milk sold, and in boots and shoes manufactured, and in book-binding.

She is only seventh in the production of wood, while she is the twelfth in area. Surely that is well done for the Prairie State. She now has much more wood and growing timber than she had thirty years ago.

A few leading industries will justify emphasis. She manufactures $205,000,000 worth of goods, which places her well up toward New York and Pennsylvania. The number of her manufacturing establishments increased from 1860 to 1870, 300 per cent,; capital employed increased 350 per cent., and the amount of product increased 400 per cent. She issued 5,500,000 copies of commercial and financial newspapers — only second to New York. She has 6,759 miles of railroad, thus leading all other States, worth '1630,458,000, using 3,245 engines, and 67,712 cars, making a train long enough to cover one-tenth of the entire roads of the State. Her stations are only five miles apart. She carried last year 15,795,000 passen- gers, an average nf 30.1 miles, or equal to taking her entire population twice across the State. More than two-thirds of her land is within five miles of a railroad, and less than two per cent, is more than fifteen miles away.

The State has a large financial interest in the Illinois Central railroad. The road was incorporated in 1850, and the State gave each alternate sec- tion for six milts (in each side, and doubled the price of the remaining land, so keeping herself good. The road received 2,5115,000 acres of land, and pays to the State one-seventh of the gross receipts. The State receives this year $350,000, and has received in all about $7,000,000. It is practically the people's road, and it has a most able and gentlemanly management. Add to this the annual receipts from the canal, $111,000, and a large per cent, of the State tax is provided for.

THE RELIGION AND MORALS

of the State keep step with her productions and growth. She was born of the missionary spirit. Ii was a minister who secured for her the ordi- uance of 1787, by which she has been saved from slavery, ignorance, and dishonesty. Rev. Mr. Wiley, pastor of a Scotch congregation in Randolph County, petitioned the Constitutional Convention of 1818 to recognize Jesus Christ as king, and the Scriptures as the only necessary guide and book of law. The convention did not acl in the case, and the old Cove- nanters refused to accept citizenship. They never voted until 1824. when the slavery question was submitted to the people; then they all voted against it and cast the determining' votes. Conscience has predominated whenever a great moral question has been submitted to the people.

But little mob violence has ever been felt in the State. In 1817 regulators disposed of a band of horse-thieves thai infested the territory. The Mormon indignities finally awoke the same spirit. Alton was also the scene of a pro-slavery mob, in which Lovejoy was added to the list of martyrs. The moral sense of the people makes the lawsupreme, and gives to the State unruffled peace.

With $22,300,000 in church property, and 4,298 church organizations, the State has that divine police, the sleepless patrol of moral ideas, that alone is able to secure perfecl safety. Conscience takes the knife from the assassin's hand and the bludgeon from the grasp of the highwayman. We sleep in safety, not because we are behind bolts and bars — these only fence against the innocent ; not because a lone officer drowses on a distant corner of a street ; not because a sheriff may call his posse from a remote part of the county ; but because conscience guards the very portals of the air and stirs in the deepest recesses of the public mind. This spirit issues within the State '.1,000,000 copies of religious papers annually, and receives still more from without. Thus the crime of the Slat.' is only one-fourth that of New York and one-half that of Pennsylvania.

Illinois never had but one duel between her own citizens. In Iielle- ville, in 1820, Alphonso Stewart and William Rennet t arranged to vindi- cate injured honor. The seconds agreed to make it a sham, and make them shoot blanks. Stewart was in the secret. Bennett mistrusted some- thing, and. unobserved, slipped a bullet into his gnu and killed Stewart. He then fled the State. After two years he was caught, tried, convicted, and, i" spite of friends and political aid. was hung.

Ford says: "Nevertheless, these first preachers were of incalculable benefit to the country. They inculcated justice and morality. To them are we indebted for the first Christian character of the Protestant portion of the people."

In education Illinois surpasses her material resources. The ordinance of 1787 consecrated one thirty-sixth of her soil to common schools, and the law of 1818, the first law that went upon her statutes, gave three per cent, of all the rest to

EDUCATION INSTEAD OF HIGHWAYS.

The old compact secures this interest forever, and by its yoking morality and intelligence it precludes the legal interference with the Bible in the public schools. With such a start it is natural that we should have 11,050 schools, and that our illiteracy should be less than New York or Pennsylvania, and only about one-half of Massachusetts. We are not to blame for not having more than one-half as many idiots as the great States. These public schools soon made colleges inevitable. The first college, still flourishing, was started in Lebanon in 1828, by the M. E. church, and named after Bishop McKendree. Illinois College, at Jackson- ville, supported by the Presbyterians, followed in 1830. In 1832 the Bap- tists built Shurtleff College, at Alton. Then the Presbyterians built Knox College, at Galesburg, in 1838, and the Episcopalians built Jubilee College, at Peoria, in 1847. After these early years colleges have rained down. A settler could hardly encamp on the prairie but a college would spring up by his wagon. The State now has one very well endowed and equipped university, namely, the Northwestern University, at Evanston, with six colleges, ninety instructors, over 1,000 students, and $1,500,000 endow- ment.

Rev. J. M. Peck was the first educated Protestant minister in tne State. He settled at Rock Spring, in St. Clair County, 1820, and left his impress on the State. Before 1837 only party papers were published, but Mr. Peck published a Gazetteer of Illinois. Soon after John Russell, of Bluffdale, published essays and tales showing genius. Judge James Hall published The Illinois Monthly Magazine with great ability, and an annual called The Western Souvenir, which gave him an enviable fame all over the United States. From these beginnings Illinois has gone on till she has more volumes in public libaaries even than Massachusetts, and of the 44,500,000 volumes in all the public libraries of the United States, she has one-thirteenth. In newspapers she stands fourth. Her increase is marvelous. In 1850 she issued 5,000,000 copies; in 1860, 27,500,000 ; in 1870, 113,140,000. In ls60 she had eighteen colleges and seminaries : in 1870 she had eighty. That is a grand advance for the war decade.

This brings us to a record unsurpassed in the history of any age,

32 HISTORY. OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

THE WAR RECORD OF ILLINOIS.

I hardly know where to begin, or how to advance, or what to say. I can at best give you only a broken synopsis of her deeds, and you musl put them in the order of glory for yourself. Her sons have always been foremosl on fields of danger. In 1832-33, at the call of Gov. Reynolds, her sons drove Blackhawk over the Mississippi.

When the Mexican war came, in May, lx-lii. 8.37i» men offered them- selves when only 3,720 could be accepted. The fields of Buena Vista and Vera Cruz, and the storming of Cerro Gordo, will -carry the glory of Illinois soldiers along after the infamy of the cause they served has been forgotten. But it was reserved till our day for her sons to find a field and cause and foenien that could fitly illustrate their spirit and heroism. Illinois put into her own regiments for the United States government 256,000 men, and into the army through other States enough to swell the Dumber to 200,000. This far exceeds all the soldiers of' the federal government in all the war of the revolution. Her total years of service were over 600,000. She enrolled men from eighteen to forty-five years of age when the law of ('.ingress in 1864- — the test time — only asked for those from twenty to forty-five. Her enrollment was otherwise excessive. Her people wanted to go, and did not take the pains to correct the enrollment. Thus the basis of fixing the quota was too great, and then the quota itself, at least in the Irving time, was far above any other State.

Thus the demand on some counties, as Monroe, for example, took every able-bodied man in the county, and then did not have enough to fill the quota. Moreover, Illinois sent 20,844 men for ninety or one hundred days, for whom no credit was asked. When Mr. Lincoln's attention was called to the inequality of the quota compared with other States, he replied, "The country needs the sacrifice. We must put the whip on the free horse." In spite of all these disadvantages Illinois gave to the countrj 73,000 years of service above all calls. With one-thirteenth of the popu- lation of the loyal States, she sent regularly one-tenth of all the soldiers, and in the peril of the closing calls, when patriots were few and weary, she then sent one-eighth of all that were called for by her loved and hon- ored son in the while house. Her mothers and daughters went into the fields to raise the grain and keep the children together, while the fathers and older sons went to the harvest fields of the world. I knew a father and four sons who agreed that one of them must stay at home; and they pulled straws from a stack to see who might go. The father was left. The next day he came into the camp, saving : " Mother says she can get the crops in, and I am going, too." I know large Methodist churches from which every male member went to the army. Do you want to know

HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 33

what these heroes from Illinois did in the field? Ask any soldier with a good record of his own, who is thus able to judge, and he will tell you that the Illinois men went in to win. It is common history that the greater victories were won in the West. When everything else looked dark Illi- nois was gaining victories all down the river, and dividing the confederacy. Sherman took with him on his great march forty-five regiments of Illinois infantry, three companies of artillery, and one company of cavalry. He could not avoid

GOING TO THE SEA.

If he had been killed, I doubt not the men would have gone right on. Lincoln answered all rumors of Sherman's defeat with, " It is impossible ; there is a mighty sight of fight in 100,000 Western men." Illinois soldiers brought home 300 battle-flags. The first United States flag that floated over Richmond was an Illinois flag. She sent messengers and nurses to every field and hospital, to care for her sick and wounded sons. She said, '■ These suffering ones are my sons, and I will care for them."

When individuals had given all, then cities and towns came forward with their credit to the extent of many millions, to aid these men and their families.

Illinois gave the country the great general of the war — Ulysses S. Grant — since honored with two terms of the Presidency of the United States.

One other name from Illinois comes up in all minds, embalmed in all hearts, that must have the supreme place in this story of our glory and of our nation's honor; that name is Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois.

The analysis of Mr. Lincoln's character is difficult on account of its symmetry.

In this age we look with admiration at his uncompromising honesty. And well we may. for this saved us. Thousands throughout the length and breadth of our country who knew him only as li Honest Old Abe," voted for him on that account; and wisely did they choose, for no other man could have carried us through the fearful night of the war. When his plans were too vast for our comprehension, and his faith in the cause too sublime for our participation ; when it was all night about us, and all dread before us, and all sad and desolate behind us: when not one ray shone upon our cause ; when traitors were haughty and exultant at the South, and fierce and blasphemous at the North ; when the loyal men heie seemed almost in the minority : when the stoutest heart quailed, the bravest cheek pah-d ; when generals were defeating each other for place, and contractors were leeching out the very heart's blood of the prostrate republic : when every thing else had failed tis. we looked at this calm, patient man standing like a rock in the storm, and said : " Mr. Lincoln

84 IIISTOUY hi THE STATE OK ILLINOIS.

is honest, and we can trust him still." Holding to this single point with the energy of faith and despair we held together, and. under God, he brought us through to victory.

His practical wisdom made him the wonder of all lands. With such

certainty did Mr. Lincoln follow causes to their ultimate effects, that his foresight of contingencies seemeil almost prophetic.

He is radiant with all the great virtues, ami his memory shall shed a glory upon this age that shall till the eyes of men as they look into his- tory. Other men have excelled him in some point, but, taken at all points, all in all. he stands head and shoulders above every other man of ti.OOO vears. An administrator, he saved the nation in the perils of unparalleled civil war. A statesman, he justified his measures by their success. A philanthropist, he gave liberty to one race and salvation to another. A moralist, he bowed from the summit of human power to the foot of the Cross, and became a Christian. A. mediator, he exercised mercy under the most absolute abeyance to law. A leader, he was no partisan. A commander, he was untainted with blood. A ruler in desperate times, he was unsullied with crime. A man, he has left no word of passion, no thought of malice, no trick of craft, no act of jealousy, no purpose of selfish ambition. Thus perfected, without a model, ami without a peer, he was dropped into these troubled years to adorn and embellish all that is good and all that is great in our humanity, and to present to all coming time the representative of the divine idea of free government.

It is not too much to say that away down in the future, when the republic has fallen from its niche in the wall of time1: when t lie great war itself shall have faded out in the distance like a mist on the horizon ; when the Anglo-Saxon language shall be spoken only by the tongue of the stranger; then the generations looking this way shall see the great president as the supreme figure in this vortex of history,

CHICAGO.

It is impossible in our brief space to give more than a meager sketch of such a city as Chicago, which is in itself the greatest marvel of the Prairie Stale. 'Phis mysterious, majestic, mightx city, born first of water. and next of lire: sown in weakness, and raised in power; planted among the willows of the marsh, and crowned with the -lory of the mountains 5 sleeping on the bosom of the prairie, and rocked on the bosom of the sea ; the youngest city of the world, and still the eye of the prairie, a- Damas- cus, the oldest city of the world, is the eye of the desert. With a com- merce far exceeding that of Corinth on her isthmus, in the highway to the East ; with the defenses of a continent piled around her by the thou- sand miles, making her fir safer than Rome on the banks of the Tibei ;

HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 35

ttitli schools eclipsing Alexandria and Athens: wild liberties more con- spicuous than those of the old republics ; with a heroism equal to the first Carthage, and with a sanctity scarcely second to that of Jerusalem — set your thoughts on all this, lifted into the eyes of all men by the miracle of its growth, illuminated by the flame of its fall, and transfigured by the divinity of its resurrection, and you will feel, as I do, the utter impossi- bility of compassing this subject as it deserves. Some impression of her importance is received from the shock her burning gave to the civilized world.

When the doubt of her calamity was removed, and the horrid fact was accepted, there went a shudder over all cities, and a quiver over all lands. There was scarcely a town in the civilized world that did not shake on the brink of this opening chasm. The flames of our homes red- dened all skies. The city was set upon a hill, and could not be hid. All eyes were turned upon it. To have struggled and suffered amid the scenes of its fall is as distinguishing as to have fought at Thermopylae, or Salamis, or Hastings, or Waterloo, or Bunker Hill.

Its calamity amazed the world, because it was felt to be the common property of mankind.

The early history of the city is full of interest, just as the early his- torv of such a man as Washington or Lincoln becomes public property, and is cherished by every patriot.

Starting with 560 acres in 1883, ii embraced and occupied 23,000 acres in 1869, and, having now a population of more than 500,000, it com- mands general attention.

The first settler — Jean Baptiste Pointe au Sable, a mulatto from the West Indies — came and began trade with the Indians in 1796. John Kinzie became his successor in 1804, in which year Fort Dearborn was erected.

A mere trading-post was kept here from that time till about the time of the Blackhawk war, in 1832. It was not the city. It was merely a cock crowing at midnight. The morning was not yet. In 1833 the set- tlement about the fort was incorporated as a town. The voters Were divided on the propriety of such corporation, twelve voting for it and one against it. Four years later it was incorporated as a city, and embraced 560 acres.

The produce handled in this city is an indication of its power. Grain and flour were imported from the East till as late as 1837. The first exportation by way of experiment was in 1839. Exports exceeded imports first in 1812. The Board of Trade was organized in 1848, but it was so weak that it needed nursing till 1855. Grain was purchased by the wagon-load in the street.

I remember sitting with my father on a load of wheat, in the long

36 HISTOIIY OB THE STATU nl ILLINOIS.

line of wagons along Lake street, while bhe buyers came and untied the bags, and examined the grain, and made their bids. Thai manner of business had to cease with the day of small things. Now our elevators will hold ir>, 000,000 bushels of grain. The cash value of the produce bandied in a year is $215,000,000, and the produce weighs 7,000,000 tons en- TOO, (too ear loads. This handles thirteen and a half ton each minute, all the year round. One tenth ol' all the wheat in the United States is handled in Chicago. Even as long ago as Is.",:: the receipts of grain in Chicago exceeded those of the goodly city of St. Louis, and in 1854 the exports of grain from Chicago exceeded those of New York and doubled those of St. Petersburg, Archangel, or Odessa, the largest grain markets in Europe.

The manufacturing interests of the city are nol contemptible. In 1873 manufactories employed 45,000 operatives ; in 1876,60,000. The manufactured product in 187o was worth $177, 000,000.

No estimate of the size and power of Chicago would be adequate that did not put large emphasis on the railroads. Before they came thundering along our streets canals were the hope of our country. But who ever thinks now of traveling by canal packets'/ In June, 1852, there were only forty miles of railroad connected with the city. The old Galena division of the Northwestern ran out to Elgin. But now, who can count the trains and measure the roads that seek a terminus or connection in this city? The lake stretches away to the north, gathering in to this center all the harvests that might otherwise pass to the north of us. 'If you will take a map and look at the adjustment of railroads, you will see, first, that Chicago is the great railroad center of the world, as New York is the commercial city of this continent ; and. second, that the railroad lines form the iron spokes of a great wheel whose hub is this city. The lake furnishes the only break in the spokes, ami this seems simply to have pushed a few spokes together on each shore. See the eighteen trunk lines, exclusive of eastern connections.

1'ass round the circle, and view their numbers and extent. There is the great Northwestern, with all its branches, one branch creeping along the lake shore, and so reaching to the north, into the Lake Superior regions, away to the right, and on to the Northern Pacific on the left, swinging around Green Bay for iron and copperand silver, twelvemonths in the year, and reaching out for the wealth of the great agricultural belt and isothermal line traversed by the Northern Pacific. Another branch, not so far north, feeding for the heart of the Badger States Another pushing Lower down the Mississippi — all these make many con- nections, and tapping all the vast wheat regions of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and all the regions this side of sunset. There is that elegant road, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, running out a goodly number of

HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 37

branches, and reaping the great fields this side of the Missouri River. I can only mention the Chicago, Alton & St. Louis, our Illinois -Central, described elsewhere, and the Chicago & Rock Island. Further around we come to the lines connecting us with all the eastern cities. The Chicago, Indianapolis & St. Louis, the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago, the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, and the Michigan Cen- tral and Great Western, give us many highways to the seaboard. Thus we reach the Mississippi at five points, from St. Paul to Cairo and the Gulf itself by two routes. We also reach Cincinnati and Baltimore, and Pitts- burgh and Philadelphia, and New York. North and south run the water courses of the lakes and the rivers, broken just enough at this point to make a pass. Through this, from east to west, run the long lines that stretch from ocean to ocean.

This is the neck of the glass, and the golden sands of commerce must pass into our hands. Altogether we have more than 10,000 miles of railroad, directly tributary to this city, seeking to unload their wealth in our coffers. All these roads have come themselves by the infallible instinct of capital. Not a dollar was ever given by the city to secure one of them, and only a small per cent, of stock taken originally by her citizens, and that taken simply as an investment. Coming in the natural order of events, they will not be easily diverted.

There is still another showing to all this. The connection between New York and San Francisco is by the middle route. This passes inevit- ably through Chicago. St. Louis wants the Southern Pacific or Kansas Pacific, and pushes it out through Denver, and so on up to Cheyenne. But before the road is fairly under way, the Chicago roads shove out to Kansas City, making even the Kansas Pacific a feeder, and actually leav- ing St. Louis out in the cold. It is not too much to expect that Dakota, Montana, and Washington Territory will find their great market in Chi- cago.

But these are not all. Perhaps I had better notice here the ten or fifteen new roads that have just entered, or are just entering, our city. Their names are all that is necessary to give. Chicago & St. Paul, look- ing up the Red River country to the British possessions ; the Chicago, Atlantic & Pacific ; the Chicago, Decatur & State Line; the Baltimore & Ohio; the Chicago, Danville & Vincennes; the Chicago & LaSalle Rail- road; the Chicago, Pittsburgh & Cincinnati ; the Chicago and Canada Southern ; the Chicago and Illinois River Railroad. These, with their connections, and with the new connections of the old roads, already in process of erection, give to Chicago not less than 10,000 miles of new tributaries from the richest land on the continent. Thus there will be added to the reserve power, to the capital within reach of this city, not less than 11,000,000,000.

around us. In L852, our commerce reached the hopeful sum of 120,000,000. In 1870 it reached 1400,000,000. In 1871 it was pushed up above -i .'""». Vnd in 187o it touched nearly double that.

One-half of our imported -nods come directly to Chicago. Grain enough is exported directly from our dorks to the old world to employ a Bemi-weekly line of steamers of 3,000 tons capacity. This branch is not likely to be greatly developed. Even after the great Welland Canal is completed we shall have only fourteen feet of water. The great ocean vessels will continue to control the trade.

The banking capital of Chicago is -<J1,4:'.1,000. Total exchange in L875, 1659,000, Her wholesale business in 1875 was $294,000,000.

The rate of taxes is less than in any other great city.

The schools of Chicago are unsurpassed in America. Out of a popu- lation of oOO.OOO there were only Wi persons between the ages of six and twenty-one unable to read. This is the best known record.

In 1831 the mail system was condensed into a half-breed, who went on fooi to Miles, Mich., once in two weeks, and brought back what papers and news lie could find. As late as 1846 there was often only one mail a week. A [jost-ofiiee was established in Chicago in 1833, and the post- master nailed up old boot-legs on one side of his shop to serve as boxes for the nabobs and literary men.

It is an interesting fact in the growth of the young city that in the active life of the business men of thai daj the mail matter has grown to a daily average of over 6,500 pounds. Ii speaks equally well for the intelligence of the people and the commercial importance of the place, thai the mail matter distributed to the territory immediately tributary to Chicago is seven times greater than that distributed to the territory immediately tributai'y to St. Louis.

The improvements thai have characterized the city are as startling as the city itself. In 1831, Mark Beaubien established a ferry over the river, and pul himself under bonds to carry all the citizens free for the privilege of >'!< trangers. Now there are twenty-four large bridges

and l wo tunnels.

In 1883 the government expended $30,000 on the harbor. Then commenced that series of manoeuvers with the river that has made it one

of the world's curiosities. It used to wind around in the lower end of the town, and make its way rippling over the sand into the lake at the foot of Madison street. They took it up and put it down where it now is. It was a narrow stream, so narrow that even moderately small crafts had to go up through the willows and cat's tails to the point near Lake street bridge, and back up one of the branches to get room enough in which to turn around.

In 1844 the quagmires in the streets were first pontooned by plank roads, which acted in wet weather as public squirt-guns. Keeping you out of the mud, they compromised by squirting the mud over you. The wooden-block pavements came to Chicago in 1857. In 1840 water was delivered by peddlers in carts or by hand. Then a twenty -five horse- power engine pushed it through hollow or bored logs along the streets till 1854, when it was introduced into the houses by new works. The first fire-engine was used in 1835, and the first steam fire-engine in 1859. Gas was utilized for lighting the city in 1850. The Young Men's Chris- tian Association was organized in 1858, and horse railroads carried them to their work in 1859. The museum was opened in 1863. The alarm telegraph adopted in 1864. The opera-house built in 1865. The city crew from 560 acres in 1833 to 23,000 in 1869. In 1834. the taxes amounted to $48.90, and the trustees of the town borrowed #60 more for opening and improving streets. In 1835, the legislature authorized a loan of $2,000, and the treasurer and street commissioners resigned rather than plunge the town into such a gulf.

Now the city embraces 36 square miles of territory, and lias 30 miles of water front, besides the outside harbor of refuge, of 400 acres, inclosed by a crib sea-wall. One-third of the city has been raised up an average of eight feet, giving good pitch to the 263 miles of sewerage. The water of the city is above all competition. It is received through two tunnels extending to a crib in the lake two miles from shore. The closest analy- sis fails to detect any impurities, and, received 35 feet below the surface, it is always clear and cold. The first tunnel is five feet two inches in diameter and two miles long, and can deliver 50,000,000 of gallons per day. The second tunnel is seven feet in diameter and six miles long, running four miles under the city, and can deliver 100,000,000 of gal- lons per day. This water is distributed through 410 miles of water- mains.

The three grand engineering exploits of the city are : First, lifting the city up on jack-screws, whole squares at a time, without interrupting the business, thus giving us good drainage ; second, running the tunnels under the lake, giving us the best water in the world ; and third, the turning the current of the river in its own channel, delivering us from the old abominations, and making decency possible.

equally to the credii of the engineering, to the energy of the people, and 1.. the health of the eity.

That which really constitutes the city, its indescribable spirit, its soul, the way ii lights up in everj feature in the hour of action, lias not been touched. In meeting strangers, one is often surprised how some homely women marry so well. Their forms arc bad, their gait uneven and awk- ward, tli^ir complexion is dull, their tram roar.- misshapen and mismatch- ed, and when we see them there is no beauty thai we should desire them, lint when once they arc aroused on some subject, the) put on new pro- portions. They light up into great power. The real person comes out from its unseemly ambush, and captures us at will. They have power. They have ability to cause things to come to pass. We no longer wonder why they are in such high demand. So it is with our city.

I'h. -re is ii" grand scenerj except the two seas, one of water, the other of prairie. Nevertheless, there is a spirit aboul it, a push, a breadth, .1 power, that soon makes it a place never iii lie forsaken. One soon

The two great laws that govern the growth ami size of cities are, Srst, the amount of territory for which they are the distributing and receiving points; second, the number of medium or moderate dealers that. do this distributing. Monopolists build up themselves, not the cities. III.--, neither eat, wear, nor Live in proportion to their business. Both these laws help Chicago.

The tide of trade Lg eastward — not up or down the map, but across the map. The lake runs up a wingdam for 500 miles to gather in the business. Commerce can not ferry up then- for seven months in the year, and the facilities for 3even months can do the work for twelve. Then the great region west of ns is nearly all good, productive land. Dropping south into the nail of St. Louis, you fall into vast deserts ami rocky dis- triots, useful in holding the world together. Si.

MASSACRE AT FORT DEARBORN.

During the war of 1812, Fort Dearborn became the theater of stirring events. The garrison consisted of fifty-four men under command of Captain Nathan Heald, assisted by Lieutenant Helm (son-in-law of Mrs. Kinzie) and Ensign Ronan. Dr. Voorhees was surgeon. The only resi- dents at the post at that time were the wives of Captain Heald and Lieu- tenant Helm, and a few of the soldiers, Mr. Kinzie and his family, and , a few Canadian voyageurs, with their wives and children. The soldiers and Mr. Kinzie were on most friendly terms with the Pottawattamies and Winnebagos, the principal tribes around them, but they could not win them from their attachment to the British.

One evening in April, 1812, Mr. Kinzie sat playing on his violin and his children were dancing to the music, when Mrs. Kinzie came rushing into the house, pale with terror, and exclaiming: "The Indians! the Indians!" "What? Where?" eagerly inquired Mr. Kinzie. "Up at Lee's, killing and scalping," answered the frightened mother, who, when the alarm was given, was attending Mrs. Barnes (just confined) living not far off. Mr. Kinzie and his family crossed the river and took refuge in the fort, to which place Mrs. Barnes and her infant not a day old were safely conveyed. The rest of the inhabitants took shelter in the fort. This alarm was caused by a scalping party of Winnebagos, who hovered about the fort several days, when they disappeared, and for several weeks the inhabitants were undisturbed.

On the 7th of August, 1812, General Hull, at Detroit, sent orders to Captain Heald to evacuate Fort Dearborn, and to distribute all the United States property to the Indians in the neighborhood— a most insane order. The Pottawattamie chief, who brought the dispatch, had more wisdom than the commanding general. He advised Captain. Heald not to make the distribution. Said he : " Leave the fort and stores as they are, and let the Indians make distribution for themselves ; and while they are engaged in the business, the white people may escape to Fort Wayne. '

Il BLSTOBY OF nil: STATE OF li.i.:-

Captain Heald held a council with tin- Indians on the afternoon or

the 12th, in which his officers refused i>> join, for the}r had been informed

ichery was designed — thai the Indians intended to murder the

people in tin- council, and then destroy those in tin- fort. Captain

II d, however, took the precaution to open a port-hole displaying a

i directly upon the council, and by that means saved

his lib-.

Mi. FCinzie, who knew the Indians well, begged Captain Heald not

infide in their promises, nor distribute the arms and munitions amone

them, lor h would only pul power into their bands to destroy the wbites.

\ upon this advice, Heald resolved to withhold the munitions of

oei on the nighl of the 13th, after the distribution of the other

property had been made, the powder, ball and liquors were thrown into

tie- river, the muskets broken up and destroyed.

k Partridge, a friendly chief, came to Captain Heald, and said: " Linden birds have been singing in my ears to-day: be careful on the march you are going to take." On that dark night vigilant Indians had crepl near the ton and discovered tin' destruction of their promised booty going on within. The next morning the powder was seen floating on the surface of the river. The savages were exasperated and made loud com- plaint- and threats.

i >n the following day when preparations were making to leave the fort, and all tin- inmates were deeply impressed with a sense of impend- i in < i. Capt. Wells, an uncle of Mrs. Heald, was discovered upon ih.- Indian trail among the sand-hills on the border- of the lake, not far distant, with a band of mounted Miamis, of whose tribe be was chief, having been adopted bj the famous Miami warrior, Little Turtle. When news of Hull's surrender reached fori Wayne, he bad stalled with this force i" assisl Heald in defending Fort Dearborn. He was too late. Every means for its defense bad Keen destroyed the nighl before, and arrangements were made for leaving the fort on the morning of the loth. Ii wasa warm bright morning in the middle of August. Indications W( re positive thai the savages intended to murder the white people: and

when they moved .en of the southern gate of the fort, the march was Like a funeral pie- < The band, feeling the solemnity of the occa-

sion, tp In I lead March in Saul.

Capt. Wells, who had blackened his face with gun-powder in token of his fate, took the lead with his band of Miamis, followed bj Capt. II I. with bis wife by his side on horseback. Mr. Kinzie hoped by his personal influence to avert the impending blow, and therefore accompanied them, leaving hi- family in a boat in charge of a friendlj Indian, to be taken to his trading station ai the site of Nile,. Michigan, in the event of In- death.

HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 43

The procession moved slowly along the lake shore till they reached the sand-hills between the prairie and the beach, when the Pottawattamie escort, under the leadership of Blackbird, filed to the right, placing those hills between them and the white people. Wells, with his Miamis, had kept in the advance. They suddenly came rushing back, Wells exclaim- ing, " They are about to attack us ; form instantly." These words were quickly followed by a storm of bullets, which came whistling over the little hills which the treacherous savages had made the covert for their murderous attack. The white troops charged upon the Indians, drove them back to the prairie, and then the battle was waged between fifty- four soldiers, twelve civilians and three or four women (the cowardly Miamis having fled at the outset) against five hundred Indian warriors. The white people, hopeless, resolved to sell their lives as dearly as possible. Ensign Ronan wielded his weapon vigorously, even after falling upon his knees weak from the loss of blood. Capt. Wells, who was by -the side of his niece, Mis. Heald, when the conflict began, behaved with the greatest coolness and courage. He said to her, " We have not the slightest chance for life. We must part to meet no more in this world. God bless you." And then he dashed forward. Seeing a young warrior, painted like a demon, climb into a wagon in which were twelve children, and tomahawk them all, he cried out, unmindful of his personal danger, "If that is your game, butchering women and children, I will kill too.'" He spurred his horse towards the Indian camp, where they had left their squaws and papooses, hotly pursued by swift-footed young warriors, who sent bullets whistling after him. One of these killed his horse and wounded him severely in the leg. With a yell the young braves rushed to make him their prisoner and reserve him for torture. He resolved not to be made a captive, and by the use of the most provoking epithets tried to induce them to kill him instantly. He called a fiery young chief a squaw, when the enraged warrior killed Wells instantly with his tomahawk, jumped upon his body, cut out his heart, and ate a portion of the warm morsel with savage delight !

In this fearful combat women bore a conspicuous part. Mrs. Heald was an excellent equestrian and an expert in the use of the rifle. She fought the savages bravely, receiving several severe wounds. Though faint from the loss of blood, she managed to keep her saddle. A savage raised his tomahawk to kill her, when she looked him full in the face, and with a sweet smile and in a gentle voice said, in his own language, " Surely you will not kill a squaw ! " The arm of the savage fell, and the life of the heroic woman was saved.

Mrs. Helm, the step-daughter of Mr. Kinzie, had an encounter with a stout Indian, who attempted to tomahawk her. Springing to one side, she received the glancing blow on her shoulder, and at the same instant

round the ueck with ber arms and endeavored Lo get hold of his Bcalping knife, which hung in a sheath at his breast. While Bhe was thus struggling she was dragged from ber antagonist by another

rful Indian, who bore her, in spite of her struggles, to the margin of the lake and plunged her in. To her astonishment she was held by him so that Bhe would uot drown, and she soon perceived that she was in the hands of the friendly Black Partridge, who had saved her life.

The wife- of S it Holt, a large and powerful woman, behaved as

\\ as .m Amazon. She rode a fine, high-spirited horse, which the Indians coveted, and several of them attacked her with the butts of their guns, for the purpose of dismounting her; but she used the sword which she had snatclied from her disabled husband so skillfully that she foiled them; and. suddenly wheeling her horse, she dashed over the prairie, followed by the savages shouting, " The brave woman ! the brave woman ! Don't hurt her!' Thej finally overtook her, and while she was fighting them in front, a powerful savage came up behind her, seized her by the neck and dragged her to the ground. Horse and woman were made captives. Mrs. II"lt was a long time a captive among the Indians, but was afterwards ransomed.

In ihis sharp conflict two-thirds of the white people were slain and wounded j and all their horses, baggage and provision were lost. Only twenty-eight straggling men now remained to fighl five hundred Indians rendered furious by the sighl of blood. They succeeded in breaking through the ranks of the murderers and gaining a slight eminence on the prairie near the Oak Woods. The Indians did not pursue, but gathered on their flanks, while the chiefs held a consultation mi the sand-hills, and showed signs of willingness to parley. It would have been madness on lie- part of the whites to renew the fight : and so ('apt. Ileald went for- ward and me I Blackbird on the open prairie, where terms of surrender were soon agreed upon. It was arranged that the white people should give up their arms to Blackbird, and that the survivors should become prisoners of war. to be exchanged for ransoms as soon as practicable. With this understanding captives and captors started lor the Indian camp near the fort, to which Mrs. Helm had been taken bleeding and Buffering by Bla . Partridge, and hail met her step-father and learned and was safe.

A lew scene of horror was now opened at the Indian camp. The wounded, not being included in the terms of surrender, as it was inter- 1 b\ the Indian., and the British general, Proctor, having offered a liberal bounty for American scalps, delivered at Maiden, nearly all the wounded men were killed and scalped, and the price of the trophies was afterwards paid by the British government.

As all township and county officers are familiar with their duties, it is only intended to give the points of the law that the public should be familiar with. The manner of laying out, altering or vacating roads, etc., will not be here stated, as it would require more space than is contem- plated in a work of this kind. It is sufficient to slate that, the first step is by petition, addressed to the Commissioners, setting out what is prayed for, giving the names of the owners of lands if known, if not known so siate, over which the road is to pass, giving the general course, its place of beginning, and where it terminates. It requires not less than twelve freeholders residing within three miles of the road who shall sign the petition. Public roads must not be less than fifty feet wide, nor more than sixty feet wide. Roads not exceeding two miles in length, if peti- tioned for, may be laid out, not less than forty feet. Private roads for private and public use, may be laid out of the width of three rods, on petition of the person directly interested : the damage occasioned thereby shall be paid by the premises benefited thereby, and before the road is opened. If not opened in two years, the order shall be considered rescinded. Commissioners in their discretion may permit persons who live on or have private roads, to work out their road tax thereon. Public roads must be opened in five days from date of filing order of location, or be deemed vacated.

DRAINAGE.

Whenever one or more owners or occupants of land desire to construct a drain or ditch across the land of others for agricultural or sanitary pur- poses, the proceedings are as follows :

1st. File a petition with the clerk of the town board of auditors in counties where there is township organization, or in counties not so organized with the clerk of the County Court, stating the necessity of the

. n- starting point, route and terminus ; and if it shall be deemed . for successful drainage thai a levee or oi her work lie constructed, iption of the same shall be made.

_'•/. After filing, two weeks' notice must be given by posting notices in tine,- of tin- mosl public places iii such township through which the drain, ditch or other work is proposed to be constructed: and also, by publishing a copy iherenf in some newspaper published in the county in which petition is filed, al Least once each week for two successive weeks.

notice must Btate when and before what board such petition is tiled, ■il,' point, route, terminus and description of the proposed work. • •n receipt of the petition by the clerk of either hoard as heroic men- tioned, it is hi> dut\ to immediately give notice to the hoard of which he is clerk, of the fact, and that a meeting of the board will be held on a day to he fixed not later than sixty days after the filing of said petition, to consider the prayer of the same; and it is further the duty of the clerk, to publish a notice of the filing of the petition and the meeting of the hoard to consider it, by posting the same in the three most public places in the township or county. On the hearing, all parties may contest the maiier, and if it shall appear to the board that the work contemplated is necessary, or is useful for the drainage of the land for agricultural and sanitary purposes, they shall so find and shall lile their petition in the County Court, reciting the original petition and stating their finding, and pray that the costs of the improvement he assessed, and for that purpose

three c missioners he appointed to layout and construct the work. The

e.is's i.f the hearing before the town board is to he paid by the petitioners. After commissioners arc appointed, they organize and proceed to examine the wink ; and if they find the benefits greater than the cost and expense of the work, then ii is their duty to have the surveyor's plans and speci- ficatioilS made, and when done nport the same to t lie court, before which

parties can be heard prior in confirmation. The commissioners are not

confined to the route or plan of the petition, but may change the same. report of commissioners is confirmed, then a jury assess the damages ami benefits againsl tin- land damaged or benefited.

\. it is only contemplated in a work of this kind to give an abstract of the laws, and as the parties who have in charge the execution of the further proceedings are likely to In- familiar with the requirements of the ite, tin necessary details are not here inserted.

PAUPERS.

E ery | ■ person who shall be unable to earn a livelihood in conse-

quence of any bodily infirmity, idiocy, lunacy or unavoidable cause, shall

by the father, grand-father, mother, grand-mother, children,

grand-children, brothers or sisters of such poor person, if they or cither

ABSTRACT OF ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 59

of them be of sufficient ability ; but if any of such dependent class shall have become so from intemperance, or other bad conduct, they shall not be entitled to support from any relation except parent or child.

The children shall first be called on to support their parents, if they are able ; but if not, the parents of such poor person shall then be called on, if of sufficient ability; and if there be no parents or children able, then the brothers and sisters of such dependent person shall be called upon; and if there be no brothers or sisters of sufficient ability, the grand-children of such person shall next be called on ; and if they are not able, then the grand-parents. Married females, while their husbands live, shall not be liable to contribute for the support of their poor relations except out of their separate property. It is the duty of the state's (county) attorney, to make complaint to the County Court of his county against all the relatives of such paupers in this state liable to his support and prosecute the same. In case the state's attorney neglects, or refuses, to complain in such cases, then it is the duty of the overseer of the poor to do so. The person called upon to contribute shall have at least ten days' notice of such application by summons. The court has the power to determine the kind of support, depending upon the circumstances of the parties, and may also order two or more of the different degrees to main- tain such poor person, and prescribe the proportion of each, according to their ability. The court may specify the time for which the relative shall contribute — in fact has control over the entire subject matter, with power to enforce its orders. Every county (except those in which the poor are supported by the towns, and in such cases the towns are liable) is required to relieve and support all poor and indigent persons lawfully resident therein. Residence means the actual residence of the party, or the place where he was employed ; or in case he was in no employment, then it shall be the place where he made his home. When any person becomes chargeable as a pauper in any county or town who did not reside at the commencement of six months immediately preceding his becoming so, but did at that time reside in some other county or town in this state, then the county or town, as the case may be, becomes liable for the expense of taking care of such person until removed, and it is the duty of the overseer to notify the proper authorities of the fact. If any person shall bring and leave any pauper in any county in this state where such pauper had no legal residence, knowing him to be such, he is liable to a fine of $100. In counties under township organization, the supervisors in each town are ex-officio overseers of the poor. The overseers of the poor act under the directions of the County Board in taking care of the poor and granting of temporary relief; also, providing for non-resident persons not paupers who may he taken sick and not able to pay their way, and incase of death cause such person to be decently buried.

FENCES.

unties under township organization, tin- imrn ,i**fsx>>r and com- »ner of highways are the fence-viewers in their respective towns. ! her counties the County Board appoints three in cadi precinct annu- i is four and one-half feet high, in good repair, con-

sisting of rails, timber, boards, stone, hedges, or whatever the fence- viewers of the town or precinct where the same shall lie, shall consider equivalent i hereto, bill in counties under township organization the annual town nice i in- may establish any other kind oftfence as such, or the County B ii i counties may do the same. Division fences shall be made

and maintained in jusl proportion by the adjoining owners, except when the owner shall choose to lei his land lie open, In it after a division fence is' built by agreement or otherwise, neither party can remove his part of such ashe maj crop or use such land for farm purposes, or without giving the other party one year's notice in writing of his intention to remove his portion. When any person shall enclose his land upon the enclosure of another, he- shall refund the owner of the adjoining' lands a just pro-

porti f the value al that time of such fence. The value of fence and

the jusl proportion to be paid or built and maintained by each is to be ascertained by two fence-viewers in the town or precinct. Such fence- viewers have power to settle all disputes between different owners as to - built or to be built, as well as to repairs to be made. Each party chooses one of the viewers, hut if the other party neglects, after eight days' notice in writing, to make his choice, then the other party may select both. It is sufficient to notify the tenant or party in possession, when the owner is not a resident of the town or precinct. The two fence-viewers chosen, after viewing the premises, shall hear the state- parties, in case they can't agree, they shall select another to act with them, and the decision of any two of them is final. The decision must be reduced to writing, and should plainly set "Hi description of fence and all matters settled by them, and must be in the office of the town clerk in counties under township organiza- tion, and in other counties with the county clerk.

Where any person is liable to contribute to the erection or the

ring of a division fence, neglects or refuses so to do, the party

giving sixty days notice in writing when a fence is to be

1 ed, or ten days when it is onlj repairs, may proceed to have the

woi 1. done at the expense of the party whose duty it is to do it, to be

recovered from him with costs of suit, and the party so neglecting shall

a' ■ be liable to the party injured for all damages accruing from such

or refusal, to be determined bj any two fence-viewers selected

fore provided, the appraisement to be reduced to writing and signed.

ABSTRACT OF ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 61

Where a person shall conclude to remove his part of a division fence, and let his land lie open, and having given the year's notice required, the. adjoining owner may cause the value of said fence to be ascertained by fence-viewers as before provided, and on payment or tender of the amount of such valuation to the owner, it shall prevent the removal. A party removing a division fence without notice is liable for the damages accruing thereby.

Where a fence has been built on the land of another through mis- take, the owner may enter upon such premises and remove his fence and material within six months after the division line has been ascertained. Where the material to build such a fence has been taken from the land on which it was built, then before it can be removed, the person claiming must first pay for such material to the owner of the land from which it was taken, nor shall such a fence be removed at a time when the removal will throw open or expose the crops of the other party ; a reasonable time must be given beyond the six months to remove crops.

The compensation of fence-viewers is one dollar and fifty cents a day each, to be paid in the first instance by the party calling them, but in the end all expenses, including amount charged by the fence-viewers, must be paid equally by the parties, except in cases where a party neglects or refuses to make or maintain a just proportion of a division fence, when the party in default shall pay them.

DAMAGES FROM TRESPASS.

Where stock of any kind breaks into any person's enclosure, the fence being good and sufficient, the owner is liable for the damage done ; but where the damage is done by stock running at large, contrary to law, the owner is liable where there is not such a fence. Where stock is found trespassing on the enclosure of another as aforesaid, the owner oi- occupier of the premises may take possession of such stock and keep the same until damages, with reasonable charges for keeping and feeding and all costs of suit, are paid. Any person taking or rescuing such stock so held without his consent, shall be liable to a fine of not less than three nor more than five dollars for each animal rescued, to be recovered by suit before a justice of the peace for the use of the school fund. Within twenty-four hours after taking such animal into his possession, the per- son taking it up must give notice of the fact to the owner, if known, or if unknown, notices must be posted in some public place near the premises.

LANDLORD AND TENANT.

Whereas I, Charles Mansfield, did, on the fourth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-two, make my last will and testa- ment, I do now, by this writing, add this codicil to my said will, to be taken as a part thereof.

Whereas, by the dispensation of Providence, my daughter, Anna Louise, has deceased November fifth, eighteen hundred and seventy-three, and whereas, a son has been born to me, which son is now christened Richard Albert Mansfield, I give and bequeath unto him my gold watch. and all right, interest, and title in lands and bank stock and chattels bequeathed to my deceased daughter, Anna Louise, in the body of this will.

In witness whereof, I hereunto place my hand and seal, this tenth day of March, eighteen hundred and seventy-five.

Signed, sealed, published, and declared toN

us by the testator, Charles Mansfield, as

and for a codicil to be annexed to his

last will and testament. And we, at

his request, and in his presence, and in

the presence of each other, have sub- scribed our names as witnesses thereto,

at the date hereof. Frank E. Dent, Salem, Ills. John C. Shay, Salem, Ills.

But they are prohibited by law from encumbering or inter- fering with any property so as to destroy the effect of any gift, grant. oi- iii-qiiest to the corporation ; but such gifts, grants, devises or bequests, must in all cases be used so as to carry out the object intended by the persons making the same. Existing societies may organize in the manner herein set forth, and have all the advantages thereof.

SUGGESTIONS TO THOSE PURCHASING BOOKS BY SUBSCRIPTION.

The business of publishing hunk* by subscription having so often been brought into disrepute by agents making representations and declarations not authorizi I by >/'■ publisher : in order to prevent that as much as possi- ble, and that there may lie more general knowledge of the relation such bo their principal, and the law governing such cases, the fol- lowing statement i made :

I '' ription is in the nature of a contract of mutual promises, by which the subscriber agrees to pay a certain sum for the work described; the ■ • incurrent that the publisher shall publish the hook

dy and delivt ' ii. . for which the subscriber is to pay the price

named. Th md character of the work is described in the prospectus

imple shown. These should be carefully examined before sub- scribing, a& thej an- the basis and consideration of the promise to pay,

and not the too often exaggerated statements of the agent, who is- merely employed to solicit subscriptions, for which he is usually paid a commission for each subscriber, and has no authority to change or alter the conditions upon which the subscriptions are authorized to be made by the publisher. Should the agent assume to agree to make the subscription conditional or modify or change the agreement of the publisher, as set out by prospectus and sample, in order to bind the principal, the subscriber should see that such conditions or changes are stated over or in connection with his signa- ture, so that the publisher may have notice of the same.

All persons making contracts in reference to matters of this kind, or any other business, should remember that the law as to written contracts is, that they can not be varied, altered or rescinded verbally, but if done at all, must be done in ivriting. It is therefore important that all persons contem- plating subscribing should distinctly understand that all talk before or after the subscription is made, is not admissible as evidence, and is no part of the contract.

Persons employed to solicit subscriptions are known to the trade as canvassers. They are agents appointed to do a particular business in a prescribed mode, and have no authority to do it in any other way to the prejudice of their principal, nor can they bind their principal in any other matter. They can not collect money, or agree that payment may be made in anything' else but money. They can not extend the time of payment beyond the time of delivery, nor bind their principal for the payment of expenses incurred in their buisness.

It woidd save a great deal of trouble, and often serious loss, if persons, before signing their names to any subscription book, or any written instru- ment, would examine carefully what it is ; if they can not read themselves, should call on some one disinterested who can.

History of Bureau County

I. 3i than half a century ago the territory now embraced within the limits of this county was in a state of nature, being a wild, uninhabited region. Scarcely a white man — except hunters and traders — had ever crossed the prairies of Bureau county, and it was unknown to the early pioneer. Roving bands of Indians were the only occupants of the country, and their trails wen- found here and then- leading to and from the differ- ent villages. Hi rd of deer, and packs of wolves, roamed at will; and tin' gobbling of wild turkeys, and the shrill notes of the lynx and cata- mount, were heard in the groves. Although the buffalo were gone, still their bonea were found here and there scattered over the prairies, relics of the past.

A change has taken place ; these prairies which were covered with wild grass and flowers during the Summer, and swept over by fire each Fall, are now converted into corn and wheat tields. interspersed with fine dwellings and barns. No longer a wild, uninhabited region, where the howling of wolves and the j'elling of savages were heard, but the home of 35,000 people, where wealth, literature and refinement abound. Fine villages have sprung up here and there, with their tall church-spires g'lit- tering in the sunbeams, where the clattering of machinery and the musi- cal peals of the church-bells are heard, immense trains of cars hourly pa-- over its prairies, carrying the products of our own and foreign countries, making a scene strangely in contrast with that of former days, and showing tin' unprecedented growth and prosperity of this people.

EARLY SETTLEMENT.

\ early as 1825 there was quite a settlement, at the lead mines aboul Galena, the road connecting it with the settlements below by the way of Rock Island. In the Spring of 1827, Mr. Kellogg, with three

us and a drove of cattle, went direct from Peoria to Galena,

a distance of one hundred and sixty miles, through an unsettled country, saving thereby about sixty miles. Others followed this route, and it soon became a beaten road, known for some years as " Kellogg's Trail." That Summer — being the time of the Winnebago war — Col. Neale, with six hundred volunteers and many wagons, from the south part of the state, passed over this road. In a short time it became a great thorough- fare from north to south, over which ran a daily mail coach. People settling on this road to entertain traders and keep- stage teams ; J. B. Meredith located at Senachwine, John Dixon at Boyd's Grove, Henry Thomas on Bureau, DadJoe at Dad Joe Grove, Ogee at Rock River, Kel- logg at Kellogg's Grove, and Winter at Apple River.

At that time all the north part of the state was a wild, uninhabited region, except by Indians and fur traders. Two families had located near the present site of Lacon. Capt. Wm. Haws and James W. Willis had made claims on the Ox Bow prairie in Putnam county; James Walker and a few others had settled at Ottawa. The American Fur Company had a trading post opposite the mouth of Bureau creek, consisting of three log cabins, under the supervision of G. S. Hubbard. This eon*ti- tuted all the inhabitants in the adjoining counties when a settlement was commenced in Bureau.

On the 5th of May, 1828, Henry Thomas, with his family in a wagon drawn by three yoke of cattle, came to Bureau and built the first cabin within the limits of this county. This cabin stood near a small branch, by a spring, and by the side of the Galena road, being located on the northwest quarter of section thirty-three. Town of Bureau, and occupied at present by Thomas Vaughan. A few weeks afterwards, three young men, Edward, Justus and John L. Anient, built a cabin at the east end of Red Oak Grove, on section one, Town of Walnut, the farm now owied by W. Miles. In July of the same year Reason B. Hall built a cabin on the southeast quarter of section thirty-four, Town of Hall, where J. Wasson now lives. Hall, with his family, occupied his cabin but a few months, when he abandoned it for a claim south of the Illinois River, and for five years no other family lived in that vicinity. In the Fall of 1828 John Dixon settled at Boyd's Grove, and lived there about eighteen months, when he moved to Rock Risrer, and became the proprietor of Dixon's Ferry. In the Spring of 1829 Amos Leonard and Daniel Dimmick built cabins in the scattering timber, by the side of springs, and on the north half of section thirty-two, Selby, but occupied them only a short time. In the Spring of 1829, Timothy Perkins and Leonard Roth made claims in Leepertown, and Bulbona, a French Indian trader at Bulbona Grove, in the town of Wyanet.

In the Spring of 1830, Ezekiel Thomas and Abram Stratton settled on farms now occupied by them, and John M. Gay made a claim close by

Joseph Smith < Dad Joe) settled at Dad Joe Grove, and Elijah Epperson built a cabin on the south-east quarter of section five, Princeton, where I Stoner now lives. At the same time Sylvester Brigham, James For- ristall, Justus and John L. Anient, made claims on the east side of Main Bureau timber, in the town of Dover.

In the Spring of 1830, Daniel Dimmick built a cabin on section twenty-five, Lamoille, and occupied it with his family about two years, when he abandoned his claim and left the country. In the Fall of the same year William Hall located on the present site of Lamoille, and lived

until the Spring of 1832, when be sold bis claim to Aaron Gunn, and moved to Indian Creek, LaSalle county, where himself and part of his family were killed by the Indians a few weeks afterwards.

During the year ls:;i several claims. were made in the valley of .Main Bureau, above Tiskilwa ; among these claimants were Robert Clark. Dave Jones and Michael Kitterman. The latter still occupies his claim. In the Summer ,,!' 1831 but two claims had been made on the Princeton prairie — one by Curtis Williams, on section twenty-one, and one by John Williams, on section seventeen -when the Hampshire colony came here.

INDIANS OF BUREAU COUNTY.

Hunters and fur traders say that more Indians lived within the limits ol Bureau than any county in the state, estimating them from 1,500 to 2,000. According to Indian tradition, about the year 1769 an old chief named Wappe, with seven wives and four hundred followers, came from the Wabash, and established a village on the present site of Tiskilwa. Em- some years this village bore the name of its founder, but we find in 1812 it was called Comas village, after a chief of that name. At one time a chief named Tiskilwa lived here, but little is known of his history, except be had many wives and was a great hunter. It was at this village Black Partridge lined out an expedition to attack Fort Clark, in the Fall "' 1818. At one time this village was said to contain about three hun- dred lodges, and was known by the French fur traders as the big town. It was not so large in the early settlement, but nevertheless it was the largest one in the country, and bore the name of Indiantown. The prin- cipal chief of this village was Autuckee, and the one next in authority was Meommuse. Both of these chiefs were well known by the early ttlers : the latter spoke some English, and frequently visited the cabins ttler8- Here at this village lived for a number of years a half-breed - name of Mike Girty, who was a great thief and cut-throat, and headed a band of warriors to commit depredations on the settlers during

HISTORY OF BUREAU COUNTY. 89

the Black Hawk war. Girty was not a chief, and was but little known among the settlers, spending much of his time as interpreter among the fur traders. Wasseaw was a chief of some note, ai>d known by a few of the early settlers. He is said to have been a handsome Indian, tall and straight, with an intelligent face, and claimed to be a son of Senachwine. For many years he raised corn in Barren Grove, where he had a village of about forty lodges.

At one time there was a large village on Lake DePue, but most of its inhabitants had left before settlers came here.

The Indians of Bureau, like all Pottawatomies, wrere low and filth}- in their habits, possessing (with a few exceptions) none of those noble traits which elevate the savage character and make their history worthy of record. But they were peaceable and quiet, when not under the influence of liquor, living on friendly terms with the settlers, frequently visiting their cabins to exchange commodities. As settlers increased, the Indians became dissatisfied with their situation, and left the county at different times from 1832 to 1836, to occupy lands assigned them by the government in Western Kansas.

CIVIL JURISDICTION.

The territory within the limits of this county was first under the jurisdiction of St. Clair county : then Madison, then Pike, then Fulton, next Peoria, and lastly Putnam. In January, 1825, a bill passed the legislature dividing the military district into countips, and Putnam being the farthest north, was made to include all the north part of the state, which at that time was uninhabited, except a few trading posts. The bill provided that the county should be organized as soon as it contained a sufficient number of inhabitants. Five years afterwards it was found to have the required number, but they were scattered from the Indiana state line to the Mississippi, including Chicago and Galena, which made organization impracticable, and for live years all the legal business of Putnam county was transacted at Peoria.

In the Spring of 1831 Putnam county, having new boundaries made by the legislature, was organized in accordance with the act. The county was divided into four precincts, two on the east and two on the west side of the Illinois River. Those on the west side were called Bureau and Spoon River ; the former was made to include all of this county and a small portion of Putnam, Marshall and Stark counties. The first general election was held at the house of Elijah Epperson, one and a half miles north of Princeton, on the first Monday in August, at which nineteen votes were cast, whose names are as follows : Henry Thomas, Elijah Epperson, Leonard Roth, John M. Gay, Mason Dimmick,

SETTLERS DRIVEN FROM THEIR HOMES.

In the Spiinc: of 1831 there were only sixteen families in Bureau, while there were about fifteen hundred Indians. Although the Indians appeared friendly, frequently visiting the homes of settlers, and some- tine-- assisting them in raising their cabins, still they were apprehensive that all was not right. The Summer before. Black Hawk, with many of his warriors, attended a great least on Bureau, and report said that many of the Pottawatomies had agreed to assist him in retaining his village. Black Hawk had now returned to bis village at Rock Island, and Gov. Reynolds bad issued a call for volunteers to remove him and his band west of the Mississippi. An in the Sac and Fox trail reported that live hun-

dred warriors were collected at Barren Grove, and he believed they were going west to assist Black Hawk. 'While every thin"; was at fever heat the settlers heard the firing of cannons at Rock Island, and believed that fighting had commenced. It appears that on the approach of the army the Indians fled across the river, and in celebrating this bloodless victory Gen. Gaines had a salute fired from the heavy ordnance at Fort Arm- strong. The wind being favorable, tie' report of the cannons was heard on Bureau, and every person fled from the county, — some going to Peoiia, others to Hennepin. A number of families met on the present site ol I' ' 'on, where they halted for consultation, when it was agreed that a committee should go and consult with Shaubena, who at that time wa- encamped about two miles east. The old chief said he thought there might be trouble; that Black Hawk said the last time they met

lie would fighl for his village, and if they commenced fighting the settlers

would be in danger. lie said, however, the young men might stay and

■Miu, but the squaws and pappooses should leave immediately.

After this consultation the settler-, continued their flight, and made no stop until thi ed the Illinois river.

On the Ox Bow prairie, in Putnam county, a call was made for vol- unteers, when about fifty responded, who came to Bureau and assisted

the settlers in taking away their stock, with other valuables. This turned out to be a bloodless war, and when all the facts were known the settlers returned to their homes.

HISTORY OF BUREAU COUNTY. 91

BLACK HAWK WAR.

In the Spring of 1832 the settlement on Bureau had increased to about thirty families, and on the west side of the river, within the limits of this county, there were probably forty cabins. The settlers were apprised that Black Hawk, with his band, were ascending Rock River, and that the Governor had again issued a call for volunteers, but they believed it would pass off as the year before, without fighting. About the middle of May, while the settlers were busy with their crops, Shau- bena notified them that hostilities had commenced ; that Stillman's army was defeated, and they were liable to be attacked at any moment. These tidings were carried from cabin to cabin, and in a few hours all of the settlers had fled from their homes ; and it was well they did so, for a Tew hours' delay, as the sequel shows, would have been fatal to many of them. Some of the settlers went to Peoria and some to Springfield, but the most of them took refuge at Hennepin.

That night, after the settlers left, about seventy warriors, led by the half-breed Girty, came to Bureau, and in the darkness of the night visited almost every cabin, but found their intended victims had fled.

A fort was built at Hennepin, and here the most of the settlers remained during the war. Some of them volunteered as rangers, and spent the Summer in guarding the frontier settlements.

About two weeks after the settlers left, Major Baxter, with two com- panies of rangers from St. Clair County, came to Bureau and built a fort where Henry Thomas lived, calling it Fort Thomas, and it was occupied by them during the war.

The Indians visited Bureau a number of times during the absence of the settlers, killed chickens, pigs and cattle, robbed some of the cabins, and sometimes laid in ambush for days to kill the settlers as they would return to look after their stock. They killed Elijah Phillips, a mile and a half north of Dover, and burned the Rev. James Sample and wife, one- half mile west of Princeton.*

About the 1st of September, the war being over, and Black Hawk a prisoner, the settlers returned to their claims. On their return they found many of their cattle and hogs were missing, and their gardens and cornfields grown up to weeds ; their wheat and oats had matured, but not having been harvested in time, fell to the ground. Every thing appeared gloomy to the settlers on Bureau— Winter approaching and their crops a failure ; but, fortunately, there were good crops in Putnam county east of the river, where they obtained a supply for the coming Winter.

* A full account of these murders is given in the Bureau County Reminiscences.

THIRD INDIAN WAR.

\ ,iu in the Spring of 1- settlers on Bureau were alarmed at

the si onducl of the Indians, and rumors were afloat thai the Pot-

tawatomies and Winnebagos wen- about to unite and make war on the frontier settlements. It is said a \\ jo chief by tin- name of Naw-

wa-see, who had a village near the present site of Rockford, was wound- ed, and his squaw, with an infant in her arms, killed the year before by tie- troops in pursuit of Black Hawk, mistaking them for Sacs and Poxes. Tiiis chief, in order to avenge himself on the whites, vis many "!' the Pottawatomies' villages, to persuade them to make war on tin- settlers. A large body of Winnebagos were collected on Green I: §r, and it is said a council between them and the Pottawatomies was held near the present site of New Bedford. At Devil's Grove a large number of warriors had collected, where they held a feast and war dance. Indians were frequently seen riding at full gallop across the prairie, who were supposed to be carrying tidings from place to place. The Indians no longer visited tic cabins of settlers, but appeared shy and unfriendly, and avoided as much as possible meeting the whites. It was also noticed that the Indians did not return to their village after their winter hunt, and were planting no corn, as they formerly had done, and their furs ;ed for ammunition instead of clothing. The settlers became alarmed at these indications of war. and called a meeting to consult on what they had best do. At this meeting two persons were appointed tu visil some of the Winnebago villages on Rock River, to find out the intention of the Indians, but they returned without, making any discov- eries. White people were lunch alarmed, not knowing at what moment hostilities would commence. Mrs. Dixon, of Dixon's Ferry, with her chil- dren, tied to the South in great haste, telling the people on Bureau, as she ed, thai the Winnebagos were collecting their warriors together on Rock River, and in all probability would attack the settlement in a few days. < )n receiving this intelligence people fled from the country, leav- ingtheir farms to -row up in weeds, and their stock to run wild on the I - vears in succession the settlers were driven from their homes : some of them were sick of the country and never returned.

A number of settlers on the Princeton prairie joined together and built a fort at Joel I' i ilittle's residence, by erecting palisades around his cabin, using tin- latter for a block house.

For a number of months previous, Cap t. Brown, with a company of

re, had In ■ ii em araped on Bureau, and in the Hall settlement, to . Imt their time of service having expired, the com- pany was disbanded, leaving the settlement without protection.

More than forty years have passed since this affair took place, and nothing positive is known with regard to the intentions of the Indians. Some believe they intended to make war on the settlers, but people took the alarm before their plans were matured ; others think different, as they committed no depreciations.

There have been a number of speculative theories with regard to the action of the Indians, none of which appears to be conclusive. One is, a number of Indians were killed secretly by settlers, and consequently they meditated revenge. In the Spring of 1833 a dead Indian was found in Bureau Creek, a short distance above the Bureau Valley Mills, with a bullet-hole in his back, showing how he came to his death. The body was taken out by the Indians and buried, and to them the murder was a mystery. Dave Jones, a notorious character in the early settlement of the county, said while hunting deer in the creek bottoms he saw this Indian sitting on a log over the water, fishing, when all of a sudden he jumped up as though lie was about to draw out a big fish, and pitched head foremost into the creek, and was drowned when he came up to him. About that time the remains of an Indian, partly devoured by wolves, were found in the Illinois River timber, and his death could not be accounted for. A number of Indians disappeared very mysteriously about this time, and the Indians believed they were murdered by the whites.

Whatever the cause may have been, or whether or not the Indians meditated revenge, it caused the settlers much trouble ; and although it passed off without bloodshed, it prevented people from improving their claims or raising a good crop.

HAMPSHIRE COLONY.

In the Summer of 1831 a party of emigrants from Northampton, Mass., settled on the Princeton prairie. Before coming west they organ- ized a company and a religious society, with the understanding that they should settle together as a colony. On their arrival on Bureau they found the country deserted, the settlers having fled for fear of the Indians. At that time Mr. Epperson was the only one living in Prince- ton township, and he assisted the new-comers in selecting claims. Dr. N. Chamberlin made a chum south of Princeton, on a farm now belong- ing to Elijah Dee and Major Chamberlin, where E'. Douglas now lives. Eli and Elijah Smith built a double log cabin on Bureau Bluff, three miles north of Princeton. E. S. Phelps made a claim on what is now the north division of the City of Princeton. C. G. Cass made a claim on the nmth - west quarter of section twenty - six, and Aaron Gunn on land adjoining, known as tin: Doolittle farm, but afterwards went to Lamoille. George Hinsdale settled on West Bureau, where he now lives ; and John

7

'. Blake made a claim where Arthur Bryant now lives. Blake went east of the Illinois River, and taughl school at ten dollars per month ; after keeping his claim for three years, he sold it for twenty-five dollars. The settlemenl was failed Greenfield, and Elijah Smith was appointed postmaster, the mail being obtained from Thomas post-office, on

w - B an. once a week. A church was organized, consisting of six

members, which formed a nucleus of the Hampshire Colony Church of Princeton.

ORGANIZATION OF BUREAU COUNTY.

< hi the 28th of February, 1837, an acl passed the legislature setting off the County of Bureau, and fixing its boundaries as it now stands, except the towns 'of Milo and Wheatland, which were afterwards added mi the formation of Marshall and Stark Counties. This aet of the legis- lature was not to take effect, however, unless a majority of the whole count) favored it. In accordance with this aet an election was held on the firsl Monday in March, which was a very exciting one, and many illegal votes were said to have been cast on both sides. On the west side of the liver people voted almost en masse for the division, while on the east hi -\ voted againsl it. A few votes were cast in Indiantown pre- cincl againsl the division, and a (v\v in Sandy precinct for it. There were about thirty majority for the division, and when the result was known there was great rejoicing on the west side of the river. In Princeton houses were illuminated, bonfires built, guns lived, and various tokens of joy. Although the wesl side of the river had won the victory and were entitled to a new county, those on the east side, with the authorities at Hennepin, pronounced the election illegal, giving notice that they would contesl it — declaring no division — Putnam County still whole, etc. Notwithstanding this protest, Bureau claimed to bea county, and went on to comply with the provisions in the act of the legislature. Three commissioners, who had been appointed for that purpose, met in May, and Ideated the county seal at Princeton.

i in the firsl Monday in June, 1837, an election was held to elect

county officers, al which Roberl Masters, William Haskins and Arthur

ied Count) Commissioners; Cyrus Langworthy, Sheriff ;

Thomas Mercer, Clerk ; John II. Bryant, Recorder; Jacob Galer, Coroner,

and Roberl Stewart, Survej ^i .

Judge Stone, of the Fifth Judicial District, ordered court to be held in Princeton on the following August, and appointed Cyrus Bryant, Clerk.

Courts wi he Hampshire Colony Church until 1845, when a

court-house was built, and a jail, twelve feel square, with hewed logs,

; with she. i iron, together with a frame building for a jail, on a lot now occupied bj the re idence of 0. S. Phelps.

HISTORY OF BUREAU COUNTY. 97

The revenue of the county for 1838, including state, county and school taxes, amounted to the sum of three hundred and thirty-two dol- lars. But this amount, small as it was, proved sufficient to meet all demands for the fiscal year.

GEOGRAPHY OF THE COUNTY.

Bureau County has twenty-three whole townships and two fractional ones ; 868 square miles or sections, and about 655,520 acres of land — about one-ninth of which was originally timber. The face of the country is neither hilly nor flat, but undulating, and while in a state of nature had the appearance of a vast plain, interspersed with groves of timber, and drained by clear, running streams.

The eastern portion of the county is drained by Negro and Spring Creeks, the central by Main Bureau and its tributaries, and the west by Green and Spoon Rivers. These streams, except Spoon River, are skirted with timber, and along them — especially Main Bureau — are excellent mill privileges.

The face of the country is elevated above the water courses from one to two hundred feet. In the north part of the county, on the ridge which divides the waters of the Illinois and Mississippi, is an elevation of about three hundred and fifty feet above the Illinois vallej\

On Green River, and along the valley of the Illinois, is a large quan- tity of swamp or overflowed land, some of which has been reclaimed by ditching, and brought under cultivation. In some of the western towns are sand knolls, bowlder rocks and marshes, but the quality of the land throughout the county for farming purposes is equal if not superior to any county in the state.

GOVERNMENT SURVEYS.

In the Spring of 1819 John C. Sullivan, under the direction of Gra- ham and Phillips, commissioners appointed by the President of the United States for that purpose, surveyed the old Indian boundary line running from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi, at the mouth of Rock River. This runs a few degrees south of west, passing through the north- ern towns of this county. This was a standard line in the surveys of the county, causing fractional tracts north and south of it.

The surveys south of the Indian boundary were commenced in 1816 and completed in 1822 : the last were made in this county by Thos. C. and Stephen Rector ; their returns bear date November 6, 1822. The surveys north of the Indian boundary were commenced in ls:;i and completed in 1843. The land south of this boundary came into market in August, 1835, and north of it in 1844. The land office of this district was at Galena until 1841, when it was moved to Dixon.

III.- northern boundary of the military district is a line extending from the great bend in the Illinois River, at the mouth of Lake DePue, to the Mississippi, a short distance below New Boston. The towns of Wheatland, Milo, Macon and Neponset, were in part military or patent land, which for many years retarded the settlement. Indiantown, Aris- j.ie and Leepertown, although within the military district, contained no patent lands.

MINERALOGICAL.

In the central and southern portions of the county coal is found in various places, but none has yet been discovered in the northern towns. A large portion of .Mineral, Selby and Hall are underlaid with coal-beds,

which are found IV twenty to seventy feet below the surface. The

line that bounds the coal-beds on the north is said to be the south line of town seventeen, but coal has been found on Main Bureau north of that line. Coal was first discovered in this county in the Fall of 1834, out- cropping from the banks of Coal Creek, in section 24 Mineral; two years afterwards it was found on Negro Creek-, in the Town of Hall, and on Coal Run, in Indiantown.

In L866 mineral paint was discovered on the north-west quarter of section seven, Manlius ; but it is now found elsewhere in that vicinity. A large quantity of this paint has been prepared and shipped to other parts.

I', at beds are plenty in the west part of the county, but it has not been brought into use. ami probably never will, as coal is abundant.

There are a Dumber of stone quarries in the county, none of which have been worked to any great extent. The best of these quarries ai-e on R . Ruu, in Indiantown. and on Negro and Spring Creeks in the Town of Hall.

PROVIDENCE COLONY.

In the Spring of 1836 a colony was organized in Providence, It. I.,

for the purpose of making a settlement in the west. The agents of this

fter looking at manj localities in different parts of the state,

ed indiantown, in this county, for their future home. At that time

of the township was vacant, and they entered a large tract, to be

members of the colony. The town of Providence was

laid .mi. and the lots sold to the colonists. This colony, like all others

in tic- West, did not met the expectations of its projectors; but it

TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION.

At the general election of 1849 the vote was almost unanimous for township organization, and in the following Spring town officers were elected, when the Board of Supervisors took the place of County Commis- sioners. At that time the count}' was divided into nine precincts, named as follows : Princeton, Dover, Lamoille, French Grove, Brush Creek, Green River, Tiskilwa, Hazewood, and Hall.

On the adoption of township organization, some of the towns con- tained but few inhabitants, scarcely enough to fill the offices. Manlius, Gold and Wheatland were attached to other towns, and not organized until some years afterwards. The names of some of the towns have been changed by the Board of Supervisors since the organization.

PERILS OF EARLY SETTLEMENT.

The following graphic sketch is taken from the Reminiscences of Bu- reau County. People at the present time are not aware of the hardships of the early settlers of this county — deprived of almost every comfort of civilization, without schools, churches, and in some cases without society, having oidy the Indians for neighbors and associates. Their dwellings were rude cabins, with a puncheon floor, and a' clapboard door hanging on wooden hinges. Some were obliged to live in a tent until a cabin could be built ; others lived for months in a pole shanty, without a floor, chimney or door, a bed -quilt supplying the place of the latter. Their living was also plain, being deprived of even the necessaries of life — for weeks at a time without bread in their house, living on hominy and potatoes, while their supply of meat consisted of wild game. The nearest place for getting their grain ground was at a horse-mill near Peoria, where some of the early pioneers went, and waited for days at the mill to get their grist. Many of the settlers pounded their corn in a hominy- block and ground their wheat in a coffee-mill, taking out the bran with a common meal sieve.

Three years in succession the early settlers of Bureau were driven from their homes on account of Indian hostilities, leaving their farms to grow up in weeds, and their horses and cattle to run at large on the prairie. For weeks at a time they lived in constant fear of the Indians, not knowing at what moment they would be attacked and murdered by them. Sometimes they would carry their guns witli them while working in the field, and at night leave their cabins, and, with their blankets and quilts, sleep in the grove, in order that they might escape should their dwelling be attacked. \

More than forty years have now passed since the settlement of

companies were formed in different parts of the county : two went from Princeton, one under the command of ('apt. Farris, and the other commanded by Capt. Paddock : the latter, however, was not accepted.

On the 10th of August, 1861, Robert F. Winslow, of Princeton, a law-partner of M. T. !'■ : • - 1-~ _ received a commission from the Secretary of War to raise a regiment of infantry. Establishing himself on the fair-ground, be in a short time recruited about seven hundred men, and in a few days it was expected the regiment would be full, when they would leave for active service in the field. The county furnished money for recruiting purposes, and it was supposed that Bureau would furnish a full regiment for the war, but through the influence of designing men, these expectations were never realized. Emissaries from Missouri visited the camp and persuaded the volunteers to join Birge's brigade of sharp- shooters, then recruiting at St. Louis. From some cause, Winslow be- came unpopular with the volunteers, and in order to get away from his command, they secretly agreed to go to St. Louis.

The principal trouble in the camp was caused by the following cir- cumstance : James T. Stevens offered Colonel Winslow a horse for the

ion of sergeant - major in his regiment. The Colonel, having no of his own. set the example of selling position in service, which of

late has 1 n carried on to such great extent both in military and civil

depart incuts.

When Colonel Winslow found the troops were about to leave, lie tried to prevent it. but the lenders said they would l;h at all events, and. if lie would accompany them, he would still be their commander. The Colonel accepted this proposition and ordered the gate opened, when the troops marched out on the public square fronting the American House. They called a halt, speeches wen- made, a vote taken, when Colonel Winslow (without a court martial) was dis- charged from service. At this turn of affairs, the Colonel flew into a terrible rage, galloping his horse back and forth, slashing the air with his sword, ordering the troops back to camp, and pointing out to them the consequences of disobeying orders.

With the regiment was an emissary from'St. Louis, who called him- self Major Smith, who by proclamation was declared leader of the troops. This caused much dissatisfaction among the aspirants for the position. Captain Robins, who expected to be commander-in-chief, waved his sword over his head, and with a loud voice, sang out : " All that wish to go to glory, follow me! " He did not know that he would lead them into the Alton Penftentiary, as the sequel will show. The exciting parley having terminated, the troops commenced their march for Trenton, where a steamboat was waiting to convey them to St. Louis.

Colonel Winslow made an effort to apprise the authorities at Spring- field that his regiment had run off, but no communication could be ob- tained by telegraph. Report said the wires were cut.

tramping it under his feet, straightened down the brim of his hat, and putting "ii ;i sanctimonious face, caused him to look like a clergyman in- Btead of a soldier.

The troops were placed in the Alton penitentiary for safe keeping, to await an order from the Governor. With the troops were a number of persons who had accompanied them by invitation. These men applied I ,. neral Mathews for their liberty — one of whom said that he was a civilian, did not belong to the regiment, had committed no crime, and thought it unjust to be locked up in a place which had been the common thieves and cut-throats. The General told him that he was charged with grand larceny — of stealing a whole regiment— to which 1,,- replied thi was false; the regiment had stolen him.

The troops were taken to Camp Butler and kept under guard for sum,- time. 1. in afterward went into service, forming a part of the 57th I; ment of Illinois Volunteers. With this affair Colonel Winslow's mil- itarv career ended. He had spent his time ami money, ami ruined his law business, without receiving any pay for his services.

M MBER <)K SETTLERS AT DIFFERENT PERIODS.

In the year l^-s there were only live families living within the limits of Bureau County, whose names are as follows: Henry Thomas, m B. Hall. John Dixon, Bulbona, and the family of Aments. In 1830 Here were nine families: in 1831 sixteen families: in 1832, at the time of the Black Hawk war. there were thirty-one families, besides a number of single men who had mad.' claims, built cabins, and \\ ere li\ ing in them. The names and location of these thirty-one families, were as follows :

Town of Lamoille — Daniel Dimmick; Dover — John L. Anient ; in Princeton — Elijah Epperson, Dr. N. Chamberlin, Eli and Elijah Smith, John Musgrove, Roland Moseley, Mrs. E. Smith. Robert Clark, and Joel D e; in Arispii — Michael Kitterman, Curtiss Williams, and Dave

[n the Spring of 1833, there were onbj twenty-eight families within

the limit- of thi- county — the population having decreased on account Of the war. A number Of families Left the county and settled elsewhere.

and o there did not return to their claims for a year or two afterwards. D ner.the Summei ol 183-1 and 1835, a few families came to Bureau;

HISTORY OF BUKEATJ COUNTY. 103

but in 1836 there was a large emigration, and the population was more than doubled during the year, and formed an epoch in the settlement of Bureau County. The land came into market the Summer before, and most all the good timber fell into the hands of settlers who sold it out to new-comers at an exorbitant price. All kinds of products were high, and were bought by the emigrants, and for the first time the early pioneers appeared to have plenty of money. Wheat sold for two dollars and a half per bushel, corn one dollar, flour sixteen dollars per barrel, and provisions accordingly. All kinds of grain were bought up the river to supply the demand, and cattle, horses, sheep, etc., were driven from the southern parts of the state and sold to the settlers.

In 1837 and 1838, there was a surplus in tins count}-, and it found a ready market at good prices to the settlers on Rock River. In 1839 and 1840, produce was shipped down the river and sold at St. Louis at low rates. From 1840 to 1847, a large amount of produce was hauled to Chicago — the teams loading back with lumber and goods. Part of the time wheat was worth only twenty-live cents, and pork net one dollar and fifty cents, delivered at Hennepin or at the Lake.

In 1850 the prairies of Bureau county were mostly vacant, thesettle- menl extending but a short distance from the timber. People went on the prairie, made claims, took out a pre-emption, and when that expired, if they did not have means to enter the land, they would get it entered on time ami pay for it with products raised on their farm. Some of the most wealthy farmers of this county commenced in this way. In a few years after the settlement on the prairie, it was all made into farms, and in 1854 all the- land in this county was entered.

PROPOSED CANAL.

As •■ailv as the Summer of 1836, the project was agitated of con- structing a canal from the Illinois to the -Mississippi River. Dr. A. Lang- worthy, of Tiskilwa, was quite enthusiastic on this subject, and at his own expense employed R. R. Pearee to survey the route as far as Green River. At that time it was thought a feeder could be taken ont of Green River to supply the eastern part of the canal, and from a point near the west line of the county the river could with slight expense he made nav- igable to its mouth, thereby forming a water communication between the two great rivers.

In the Summer of 1866, another survey of this proposed canal was made, with a feeder to be taken out of Rock River and intersect the canal near Devil's Grove. Again in 1870 the government, in accordance with an act of Congress, made a survey of this route for the purpose of mak- ing it a ship canal.

K A II.IK »ADS.

In L839 the old Illinois Central Railroad was surveyed and located through this county. It entered the county in section twenty-five, West- Geld, and left it in section two. Lamoille, making a straight line through the county. After the grading was partly done, the enterprise was aban- doned.

In 1851, a railroad was projected from Chicago to Rock Island, by the way of Peru, and counties on the route \\ ere called on to take stock in it. Bureau < !ounty was asked to subscribe for •S.Vi.ooo of the stock. This re- quest caused great excitement among the people, and speeches for and against were made in almost every school-house in the county. Prince- ton favored it. but Ti8kilwa opposed it. and when the election came the proposition was lost ; but the road was built nevertheless. Jt was eom- pleted in 1853, its length in this count)' is thirty-eight miles.

The Chicago, Burlingtonand Quincy Railroad was built in 1854. Its

h in this county is forty-two miles. The Peoria and Bureau Valley Railroad was built in 1855, and its length in this county is about live miles. The Rushville and r>uda Railroad was built in 1870, and seven miles of it is in this county. The Mendota and Prophetstown Railroad was commenced in 1856, completed in 1870, and its length in this county is twenty-seven miles. The Kankakee and Pacific Railroad was graded in

I ^7 1. In it not completed. About three miles of it is in this county.

Bureau County having six railroads within its limits, and the Illinois ( Vntral Railroad running almost parallel with its eastern line, and with the • Illinois River and Michigan Canal on its borders, gives Bureau County great facilities for trade and commerce.

SWAMP LANDS.

A bill passed Congress in September, 1850, giving to Arkansas all the swamp and overflowed laud within the limits of the state, and after- wards this bill was so amended as to apply to all other states. In 1852

the State Legislature donated these lands to the counties in which they were located. It was found by making a survey that this county had

about 38, acres, mostly along the valley of Green River, and on the

overflowed bottoms of the Illinois River. This land the county adver-

I I ed and jold in September, 1856, and the proceeds, amounting to $115,- 000, was appropriated to the school fund. Some of the purchasers were

<ii lied to have the funds thus appropriated, contending that they should be used for draining. They refused to pay the back installments, and the county was involved in a law suit. About 'one half of the land

105

was paid for according to the conditions of sale, and deeds given, while the remainder reverted to the county.

Some years ago the county commenced draining these lands, espe- cially those along Green River, and have expended over $ 191, 000 in this work. The subsequent sales amounted to $112,000, making the total amount received by the county $227,761.

In this swamp district were many valuable tracts of land, and some of the lands that were subject to annual inundation have been reclaimed by ditching, and are now under cultivation.

POLITICS.

' During the existence of the old parties, the Whigs had a large major- ity in this count}-, and since the organization of the present political parties, the Republicans have a majority, ranging from 1,500 to 1,900. The following is the official vote of the county at the last election:

HISTORY OF BUREAU COUNTY. 10T

RELIGION.

Probably the first sermon preached within the limits of this county- was by a missionary by the name of Wigley. According to the statement of the Indians, he preached at Indiantown as early as the year 1814; made many converts among the Indians, baptizing them in Bureau Creek. Nothing is known of his religious creed, but it is supposed he was a Baptist.

The first religious service held among the settlers was at the house of John Hall, in August, 1830 ; preaching by Elijah Epperson. During the same year a young man from Putnam County, by the name of Sample, preached a number of times at John Hall's. In 1833, William Royal, a Methodist preacher, held service at Abram Stratton's, on West Bureau Creek, once in .four weeks. Royal's mission extended from Peoria to Ottawa, with twenty-two preaching places, some of which were thirty miles apart, making the circuit once a month.

In the Fall of 1833, the Rev. Lucien Farnham, a Congregational minister, came to Princeton, receiving part of his support from the Home Missionary Society.

The first camp-meeting was held in the grove west of Princeton, in September, 1834, it being a union meeting between the Congregationalists and Methodists. The second camp-meeting was held in the grove two miles west of Dover, in the Summer of 1836.

SETTLING OF DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTY.

In the Spring of 1836 there were two great thoroughfares passing through this county. One of these was the great Galena road, running north and south, over which passed a daily mail coach, and the other was the Sacs and Fox trail, running east and west, over which passed the Indians of the West on their annual trips to and from Chicago, to get their annuities. The Sacs and Fox trail for many years had been the great highway for Indians passing through the country, and over it the Black Hawk's band made annual trips to Canada, to draw their pay from the British government. It was no uncommon thing to see several hundred Indians at a time on this trail, and sometimes white people on foot or horseback, who were traveling from east to west. Many places on the prairie the trail was worn down a foot or more below the surface by the incessant tramp of the ponies' feet, The first obstruction of this trail between Rock Island and Chicago was caused by a fence built by Robert Murphy in fencing his farm in the Spring of 1837. The Indians having to pass around Murphy's farm, were very indignant, regarding it as a trespassing on their rights.

[08 HISTORV OF BDBBAtl COUNTY.

In the Spring of 1836 there was no one living in the towns of Pair- field, Manlius, Mineral, Neponset, Macon, Gold, Wheatland, Greenville, , VVestfield. There was bul one familyin Milo, one in Walnut, one in Ohio, four in Berlin, five in Bureau, five in Concord, and six in Clarion. The dwellings were log cabins, built mostly in the edge of the timber by the side of springs. There was but one meeting-house, two or three Bchool-houses, only two surveyed roads, and not a stream bridged. The land then under cultivation was a small field here and there adjoin-

,,,. timber, and the prairies of the county were in a state of nature, a pan of which had not been surveyed.

SETTLEMENT OF LAMOILLE AND PERKINS' GROVE.

In the Spring of 1830 Daniel Dimmick made a claim at the head of Dimmick's Grove, and in the fall of the same year Win. Hall made a claim near him, on the present site of Lamoille. In the Spring of 1834, Leonard Roth, G. Hall and Dave Jones, made claims in the Grove, and in Julj of

ill,, sa pear, .1. T. Holbrook, Moses and Horace Bowen, also settled in

the Grove. In the Fall of 1834, Enos Holbrook, Joseph Knox and Heman Downinv; came. In the Spring of 1835, Tracy Reeves and Dr. John Ken- dall came hen- and laid out the town of Lamoille.

In 1834 Timothy Perkins and his sons claimed all of Perkins' Grove, and sold claims to those coming in afterwards. The first cabin built in the Grove was on a farm now owned by John Iletzler, and occupied by S. Perkins and E. Bevens. The second house stood near the present resi- dence of A. <■. Porter, and occupied by Timothy Perkins. In 183ti and '.".7 a number --l' persons came here, among'whom were Joseph Screach, Stephen Perkins, J. and A. R. Kendall, J. and E. Fassett. In 1842 a post-office named Perkins' Grove was established, but was discontinued -nine fewjyears afterwards.

SETTLEMENT IN Till'. EAST PART OF THE COUNTY.

In the Summer of L828, Reason I!. Hall built a cabin on section 34, Town of Hall. In the Fall of 1829 a black man named Adams built a cabin at the mouth of Negro Creek, and from him the stream took its name. In the Summer of 1831, Win. Tompkins, Sampson and John ' [aims on the easl side of Spring Creek. In August, 1832,

il :. Miller. William and James G. Swan, made claims in the town of Hall. In 183 >, Roberl Scott, Martin Tompkins and A. Holbrook came. Other settlers came in soon after, among whom were Ranson and E. C. il . Mr. Wixam, Mr. Wilhite, N. A.pplegate, \h-. Whitehead, and C. W. I ombs.

WEST Bl BEAD \NH CENTER GROVE SETTLEMENT.

It has alreadj been stated that Henrj Thomas, Ezekiel Thomas,

HISTORY OF BUREAU COUNTY. 109

Abram Stratton and John M. Gay came in 1828 and '30. In 1831, Thos. Washburn made a claim adjoining the county farm on the west; Benj. Lamb afterward owned the claim, and in 1834 sold it to James Triplett. In 1833, John Phillips, E. Chilson and Thomas Finley came. In 1834, Isaac Spangler, Geo. Coleman. Edward and Acquilla Triplett, settled in Center Grove. VVm. Allen, C. C. Corss, Lemuel and Rufus Cary, Solo- mon Sapp, Jacob and Adam Galer, settled here ; George Bennett and Rees Heaton were among the early settlers.

EARLY SETTLEMENT IN THE WEST PART OF THE COUNTY.

In the Spring of 1834, Thornton Cummings made a claim on the north side of French Grove, and J. G. Reed at Coal Grove, and built a cabin on the present site of Sheffield. In 1835, Paid Riley, Caleb and Eli Moore, and James Laughrey, built cabins in French Grove. A. Fay settled at Menominee Grove, and Benj. Coal at Bulbona Grove.

In 1836, William Studley made a claim at the south end of Barren Grove, and in the following year William and George Norton, W. P. Batlerill and James Tibbetts came. In 1836, Curtis Williams, Thomas Grattidge, John Clark, Dr. Hall, George Squiers and E. D. Kemp settled in the north end of Barren Grove.

In 1850 a settlement was made in the towns of Gold and Manlius, and among the first settlers were Samuel Mather, S. Barber, T. Rine- hart, A. Lathrop, and James Martin.

In 1837 a settlement was commenced at Black Walnut Grove, in the town of Macon, and among the early settlers were Wm. Bates, T. Math- eral, James B. Akin, Lewis Holmes, and John and Charles Wood.

GREEN RIVER SETTLEMENT.

The country along Green River remained unoccupied for many years after settlements had been made in other parts of Bureau County, and was visited only by hunters and trappers. It was known at that time as Winnebago Swamp, but took the name of Green River about the year 1837, about the time a settlement was commenced here.

In the Spring of 1837, Cyrus Watson built a cabin near the present site of New Bedford, and occupied it a short time. Soon afterwards Francis and Wm. Adams, D. Brady, Milton Cain, Daniel Davis, Lewis Burroughs, Geo. W. Sprall, T. and N. Hill, settled here.

The land on Green River north of the Indian boundary did not come into market until 1844, and some of the settlers held, their land by pre- emption right. But when the land came into market they were not prepared to pay for it, and to prevent others from entering their farms they organized a " Settlers' League," with a constitution and by-laws,

1 in HISTORY <>r in 1:1: W rouNTY.

and > i •_: 1 1 « - ' 1 by all those interested. From this Settlers" League originated the common phrase, ■•State of Green River."

SKTTfa'.MKNT IN THE NORTH PART <>F THE COUNTY.

Notwithstanding two cabins were buill at an early day — one at Red ( >ak drove and the other at Dad Joe Grove — the settlement of the north part of the county dates about the year 1850. James Claypall occupied the Ament cabin in Red Oak Grove from 1833 to L836 ; Luther Denham moved here Boon after. A few families settled at Walnut Grove, among whom were A. II. Jones, <<■ Triplett, T. Culver, and Richard Brewer.

In 1841, F. G. ISuehan buill a cabin at East Grove, 'on the north line of Ohio township, and five years afterwards Win. Cleavland built a cabin on the prairie, near the middle of the township, but soon after- wards abandoned it. About I8o0 and 'o2 the prairie began to he settled and made into farms. Among the settlers were Squire Falvey, John Kas- beer, Wm. Cowen, S. Wilson, Daniel P. and Dwight Smith, John and Andrew Ross.

SETTLEMENT IN THE SOUTH PART OF THE COUNTY.

Although a family lived at Boyd's Grove since the Fall of 1828, the settlement around it is of a recent date. In 1841, a few families settled on the south side of Boyd's Grove, among whom were D. Bryant, B. Hagan, John A. Griswold and Isaac Sutherland. A short time after- wards a settlement was made at the Lone Tree in the town of Wheat- land, and among the settlers were John and T. Kirkpatrick, J. Larkins, J. Merrill. Henry and R. Rich and the large family of Andersons. At an early day a settlement was made on the Chenoweth prairie, in Arispie, and among the first comers were Elder J. B. Chenoweth, F. Dunn ami A. B i □ "ii.

SETTLEMENT AT LOST GROVE.

For many years aftera settlemenl had been made on Bureau County, ! Grove -and the country around it remained unoccupied. The Sac and Fox trail passed by the grove, and was traveled by whites as well as Indians. In L836 and 1837 two large wolves made a home in the grove, and frequentlj travelers on loot ami horseback were so badly frightened

eing them, that lor a long time the trail was avoided.

In August, L837, a man named Dunlap, from Knox County, Ohio, was murdered at Lost Grove by one Green. Dunlap was exploring the country with the object of selecting a home, and had money with him to purchase land. While on Fox Liver he employed Green i<> conduct him through the country to Princeton, there being no road af the time, and while a i the south end of the grove, Green drew his pistol and -hot Dunlap, w ho I'll from hi- horse. Dunlap, although badly wounded.

ran about one mile, but was overtaken and his brains beaten out with a club. The body was robbed of money and clothing and left on the prai- rie, where it was found some days afterwards partly devoured by wolves.

In the Spring of 1831, Mason Dimmick made a claim in Lost Grove, and commenced a cabin where Arlington now stands, but soon after abandoned it. In 1834, O. H. Hugh claimed the Grove, and completed the cabin which Dimmick had commenced, and lived in it a few months, when he abandoned his claim and left the county. The cabin went to decay, no one living here for six years after.

In the Fall of 183a, Lost Grove was claimed by two young men, Blodgett and Lindley, and while they were disputing about their rights, it was entered by Benj. Briggs, who sold it to Michael Kennedy in 1840, and he made a large farm here soms years afterwards, and laid off the village of Arlington.

In 1840, David Roth, having a contract for grading, on the Illinois Central Railroad, built a house east of the Grove, and sold it to Martin Corley, who made a farm here. Others settled around the Grove, among whom were Daniel Cahill, D. Lyon, James Waugh, Peter Cassady, Mr. Okely and others.

MEMORIES OF SHAUBENA OR SHABBOXA.

This celebrated Indian chief, whose portrait appears on the title page of this work, deserves more than a passing notice. Although Shaubena was not so conspicuous as Tecumseh or Black Hawk, yet in point of merit he was superior to either of them.

Shaubena was born at an Indian village on the Kankakee River, now in Will County, about the year 1775. While young he was made chief of the band, and went to Shaubena Grove, now DeKalb County, where they were found in the early settlement of the county.

In the War of 1812, Shaubena with his warriors joined Tecumseh, was aid to that great chief, and stood by his side when he fell at the bat- tle of the Thames. At the time of the Winnebago war. in 1827, he visited almost every village among the Pottawatomies, and by his persua- sive arguments prevented them from taking part in the war. By request of the citizens of Chicago, Shaubena, accompanied by Billy Caldwell (Sauganash ), visited Big Foot's village at Geneva Lake, in order to pacify the warriors, as fears were entertained that they were about to raise the tomahawk against the whites. Here Shaubena was taken prisoner by Big Foot, and his life threatened, but on the following day was set at liberty. From that i ime the Indians (through reproach) styled him the " white man's friend," and many times his life was endangered.

Before the Black Hawk War Shaubena met in council at two dif- ferent times, and by his influence prevented his people from taking part 8

1 1 I HISTORY <>f BUREAU COUNTY.

with the Sacs and Foxes. After the death of Black Partridge and Sen- achwine, no chief among the Pottawatomies exerted so much influence as Shaubena. Black Hawk, await- of tins influence, visited him at two different times, in order to enlist him in his cause, but was unsuccessful. While Black Hawk was a prisoner at Jefferson Barracks, he said, had it nut been for Shaubena, the whole Pottawatomie nation would have joined lii- standard, and he could have continued the war for years.

To Shaubena many of the earlj settlers of this county owe the pre- servation of their lives, for it is a well-known fact, had not the thirty-one families then in Bureau been notified of their danger, a large portion of them, like those on Indian Creek, would have fallen victims to the toma- hawk \'<) saving the lives of the whites he endangered his own, for the Sacs and Foxes threatened to kill him, and made two at- tempts to execute their threats. They killed \\ peogee, his son, and I\ ps, his nephew, and hunted him down as though he was a wild beast.

Shaubena had a reservati f two sections of land at his Grove,

but by leaving it and going west for a short time, the government de- clared the reservation forfeited, and sold it the same as other vacant land. On Shaubena's return, and finding his possessions gone, he was very sad and broken down in spirit, and Left the Grove for ever. The citizens of Ottawa raised money and bought him a tract of land on the Illinois River, above Seneca, in Grundj County, on which they built a house and sup- plied him with means to live on. He Lived here until his death, which occurred on the 17th of July, 1859, in the eighty-fourth year of his age, and was buried with great pomp in the cemeteryat Morris. His squaw, Pokanoka, was drowned in Mazen Creek, Grundj County, on the 30th of November, 1864, and was buried by Ins side.

In L861, subscriptions were taken up in many of the river towns, to i monument over the remains of Shaubena, but, the war breaking out, the enterprise was abandoned. Only a plain marble slab marks the resting-place of this friend of the white num.

Methodist Church, Milo Township, organized with sixteen members in Jan. 1854, by the Rev. M. Frasier.

For one year they held meetings at the house of Thomas Copper- rune, when they erected a church. This was used until 1868, when they liuilt their present house of worship. Its cost was about f 800, and stands on Sect ion -~ .

Tin- membership is now aboul fifty. The Sabbath-school has near forty pupils in attendance, the Superintendent of which is J. M. Tate.

The pi' ent pastor is Rev. II. N. Morse.

THE COUNTY FARM.

About twenty years ago, 160 acres were purchased and the neces- buildings erected to care for the poor of the county. From time to

HISTORY OF BUREAU COUNTY. 115

time additions have been made to these, until now the farm contains 240 acres, with capacious and comfortable buildings.

It is not entirely self-supporting, but the farm is turned to good account, the labor being performed by the inmates. The following re- port, made by the Farm Committee to the County Board of Supervisors for the year closing September 1, 1876, is given :

There is at present forty-eight inmates, classified as follows : In- sane 12, idiotic 8, cripples 2, homeless 26. Total days attendance for the year is 17,613, or 2,516 weeks. The greatest number any month was 58 in March ; the least 41 in September. The average per month for the year — 51.

The total expenses of the institution to the county for the year has been as follows :

Bills allowed and due, ------ $3,651 79

Cash including Superintendent's salary. ... 1,050 00

$4,701 79 Deduct cash on hand, ------ 400 00

Total, ------ . $4,301 79

This shows the entire expenses to the county for the year, and makes a cost of $1.70 per week for each person kept ; if we deduct $300 which lias been expended for improvements and betterments, as fencing, paint- ing, etc., we find a net cost of $1.59 per week for each person kept.

There has been raised on the farm, the present season, 14 acres of oats, 70 acres of corn, 8 acres of potatoes, and vegetables of various kinds ; 60 tons of hay, which was put up in good time and condition ; of potatoes and vegetables we shall have a large supply. The corn is good ; the oats are poor, but fortunately we have a part of our last year's crop still on hand, so we shall not want in that direction ; we also have about 600 bushels of old corn on hand.

Of stock we have six horses, 35 head of cattle, 50 hogs and 100 pigs, all of which are looking well, and show that they have proper care and attention.

The Superintendent is Mr. D. C. Cooper.

THE BUREAU COUNTY AGRICULTURAL BOARD

was constituted in 1856 by a few individuals desiring to promote the agri- cultural interests of the county. These purchased thirty acres of ground near Princeton, and laid it out in a convenient fair ground. To this ad- ditions have been made, until the grounds now comprise fifty-five acres, which, with the improvements thereon, are valued at $18,000. About 13,000 are annually offered in premiums— the effect being to fully meet the object set forth in article second of the Constitution, which reads as follows :

Its object shall be to improve the condition of Agriculture, Horticul- ture, and the Mechanics and Household Arts.

Article third refers to the membership, and reads:

This Board shall consist of such citizens of the county as shall signify their wish to become members, and shall pay on subscription one dollar and fifty cents, and one dollar and fifty cents annually, thereafter. The payment of ten dollars shall constitute a membership for life, and shall exempt the donor from annual contributions.

Article fourth relates to officers, and is as follows :

The officers of this Board shall consist of a President and three Vice Presidents, to be located in various parts of the county ; a Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer, and one Director from each township in the county, which officers shall constitute an Executive Committee, five of

whom shall constitute a quorum to do business. The last Ex-President and Secretary shall be memhers of the Executive Committee for the year following their services as such President and Secretary .

The officers for the ensuing year are :

President — lustus Stephens, of Princeton.

IV,-, Presidents — Robert Hunter, of Wheatland; Geo. Hammer, of Ohio : and B. K. Howell, of Dover.

S retary — I. II. Fawcet, of Princeton.

Assistant Secretary — I'.. It. Virden, of Princeton.

The time for holding the annual fair is designated in article first of the By-laws, which reads :

1. This Exhibition will be open on Tuesday, the l:!tli of September, and close on Saturday, the 16th. All entries of stock and oilier articles must lie made on or before Tuesday, the first day of the fair.

The fair is said to be one of the best in the state. This view is cer- tainly corroborated on viewing the entries made, or the farms and stock in the county.

PRINCETON.

Princeton is beautifully situated on the margin of a high rolling prairie, and skirted on the west by a large grove of timber, which forms a semicircle to the smith and east for miles in extent, giving to the place a picturesque appearance. When the town was laid off there were two claims made adjoining it, one on the west by John Williams, and another on the south by Curtiss Williams: the former buill a shanty, and lived in it a short time, then left the country; the latter commenced a cabin, but never completed ii, and it afterwards became the'property of Cyrus Bryant.

Princeton was laid off by Roland Moseley, John P. Blake and John Musgrove, acting as school trustces.it being located on section sixteen. The survey bears date September 1832, and Dr. N. Chamber-

lin, scl 1 commissioner, offered the lots for sale at Hennepin in May

L833. The lots were sold on credit, with six months interest payable in

ince, and tin- average price was about two dollars and fifty cents per acre. Only a small portion of the section was sold on the day of

. and the remainder was not disposed of until some years afterwards. On Main Si reel, in I he business part of the town, the lots were laid off in line acre each ; back of these were live and ten-acre hits: and the east half <>l the section was sold in forties, according to government sin \ ey.

Greenfield was the name proposed for the new town, as that was the name of the post-office for the settlement, but some thought Princeton more appropriate, as the town site was much like old Princeton in New • bi ej , being high and sightly.

The first building erected in Princeton was a small log cabin, built

HISTORY OF BUREAU COUNTY. 1-1

by S. D. Cartwright on ;i now vacant lot, immediately north of the Congregational church, in the Fall of 1833, and used by him as a blacksmith shop. The second building was a frame structure twelve feet square, erected by John M. Gay, on the present site of the Templeton store, and was afterwards occupied by William Wells as a dwelling. The third house was a log cabin, built by F. Haskill in the Spring of 1834, immediately south of the public square, and used by him as a store. This was the first dry goods store within the limits of this county, and the only one on the road between Peoria and Galena. In the Fall of 1834, Stephen Triplett built on the east side of Main Street, and on the present site of the Savings Bank, a one-story frame building sixteen by eighteen feet, witli an earthen fire-place, and stick chimney. Fronting this building was a huge sign, painted in Roman letters, " Princeton Hotel." Some time afterwards Mr. Triplett built a two-story addition fronting his house, and for many years this was the principal hotel of the town. In the Fall of 1834, John M. Gay built a one-story frame build- ing on the west side of Main Street, opposite Trijdett's tavern, occupying the front for a store and the rear for a dwelling. In the Summer of 1835, Elijah Wiswell built a one-story frame house on the corner now occupied by the Converse Block, and used it as a dwelling.

In the Spring of 1833, Dr. N. Chamberlin was appointed post-master of Princeton, and kept the office at his residence a mile and a. ball' south of town. Mails were obtained at Bureau post-office at Henry Thomas's, on West Bureau, mice a week, and I'm' some time were carried back and forth by Dr. Wm. (). Chamberlin. using his coat-pocket in place of a mail-bag. Sometimes Main Bureau was high, and could not be forded for weeks at a time, which was common in those days, the mail- carrier would make the trips on foot, crossing the stream on a log. a large tree having fallen across Main Bureau, and one across West Bureau Creek, over which people for years passed in time of high water in going to and from Princeton.

In the Fall of 1833 an effort was made to change the Galena road which passed west of the Bureaus, to go through Princeton, so as to supply it with mail. Mr. Winter, proprietor of the stage line, agreed to make the change, if a road was constructed across the Bureau bluffs. To accomplish this, people in the Princeton settlement, among whom were Dr. N. Chamberlin, Cyrus and John H. Bryant, turned out with spades and hoes, to make a road, and in a short time the work was completed. As soon as the road was completed, the stage route was changed, when the rattling of a coach and the sound of a stage-horn were heard in Princeton, supplying it with a tri-weekly mail. In the Fall of L834, John M. Gay, having opened a store, was appointed post-master, and the office was moved from Dr. Chamberlin's residence to town.

In those days the people of Princeton were almost a unit in religion and politics. Aristocracy was unknown, and tire usual gossips of towns were few and little noticed.

In the Fall of 1835 the Hampshire Colony Congregational church was built on the public square, where the court-house now stands. 'This was a two-story frame structure raised high above the ground on wooden blocks, painted white, and made a very imposing appearance. Deacon Elijah Wood built this church under a contract for six hundred and fifty

dollars, completing the outside only, and for two years it was not plastered. A rough board pulpil and slab scats were used. This building was a greal curiosity to Indians, who styled it the big wigwam, and it was equally so to travelers passing through the country, it being the only church "ii the road between Peoria and Chicago, and if we except a small one at Ottawa it was the only tint- west of Chicago. This building j, .iid a double diln. lint only being used for religious meetings, bul for a school, a town hall, a court-room and a place for holding abolition -lit.- conventions, etc. In 1848 this building was moved to the south side of the public square, now belonging to Justus Stevens, and used for a barn, and is, we believe the only relic now left of the original land marks of Princeton. In the Fall <>( 1837 the M. H. Church built a small frame ng-house on tie- corner of First and North Streets. In 1888, the Baptists built a small church on Third Street, now occupied by colored people. In Is II the Protestant Methodist erected a brick church on Third Street, now occupied as a dwelling.

Among the firsl mercantile firms of Princeton were those of Daniel K n and Justine II. Olds, I), (i. Salishun and l'». L. Smith : the latter tii in occupied a frame building where the First National Hank now stands. In the rear of the building li\ I d their two families, while the front was used as a dry goods ami grocery store, in which was the post-office, county clerk's and recorder's office, county judge and justice of t lie peace i iffice.

!!. T. Templeton came to Princeton with a stock of goods in the Spring of 1836, and for many years was a very successful merchant. II. ii. Newell opened a store in 1837 and did an extensive business, building the firsl brick store and dwelling in the town. The merchants of Princeton were also engaged in the grain and provision trade, receiv- ing their grain and packing their pork ai West Hennepin, or at Lake I). Pue.

Princeton was incorporated in 1838, and in 1n.">7 the charter was amended l,\ an act of the legislature, giving it all the privileges of a city,

minUS t he name.

The incorporation originally included section sixteen, hut the east half

of the east half. if section seventeen and the southwest quarter of nine

have been added.

There have been a number of additions made at different times to the mil plat, hut the most important one is North Addition, laid off by

I ii and Boyd in 1854. Union Addition, laid off a. few years ago in

the northeast put of town, is an extensive plat, and much of it is built

o\ el .

In 1845 a court house was built, and in I860 it was re-constructed, and is now a very imposing structure, with fire-proof vaults. The jail ami sheriff's residence were built in 1856, and the high-school building in

1866, at the cosl ol - ■

The growth of Princeton has been slow, differing from many of the new tow u- that get their growth in a year or two. for the first ten years ali. i the town was laid off, a large portion of the trade in this vicinity went to Hennepin, and the succeeding ten years Peru ami LaSalle had much of the trade. Smcc the building of railroads Princeton has been tic .cuter of trade for the coutitv, and is now in a nourishing condition.

THE BUSINESS INTERESTS.

Princeton has seven dry goods stores, thirteen grocery stores, four hardware stores, five drug stores, three shoe stores, four jewelry stores, three printing offices and two weekly papers, two flouring mills, two plow factories, thirteen churches, and between four and five thousand inhabitants.

The city sustains three good banks, viz: The First National, The Illinois Trust Company Savings Bank, and The Farmers' National. The first of these was established in March, 1865, by B. S. Ferris, who is still president. Its capital is now $105,000, with a surplus of $25,000. The cashier is H. C. Roberts. The second institution named was incor- porated in February, 18G5, and for some time was called the Princeton Loan and Trust Company. The capital stock is now $50,000. The officers are Henry C. Reed, President; William K. Reed, Vice-President, and F. W. Waller, Treasurer. The third bank was incorporated in 1874. The capital stock is $75,000, and the surplus $4,000. The officers are E. R. Virden, President, and W. W. Ferris, Cashier.

The city contains two manufacturing establishments — the Princeton Manufacturing Company and the Iron Pieam Plow Company. The former was established in the Winter of 1855-6 by Miller & Critzman, for the purpose of making agricultural implements. In 1868 it was changed to a stock company, and as such is still in operation. They em- ploy at present forty hands, and have an annual sale of near $100,000 per year. The latter estahlishment is the oldest manufactory of iron beam plows in the country, having been established in 1856. It is now under the control of B. S. Ferris, president of the First National Bank, who owns the main interest. They are at present working fifteen men, but have a capacity of 20,000 plows per annum.

Two large flouring mills are in successful operation, a good steam planing mill, a capacious elevator, and a large number of shops of all kinds keep alive the busy hum of industry "all the year round."

Among the many leading business firms may be noted that of Harris & Cattle, wholesale crackers and confectionery. It is one of the largest houses in this line of goods out of Chicago, and enjoys an ex- tensive trade. The bakery is on the corner of Main and Peru streets, and the store is near the Savings Bank. They have been established in trade about ten years.

In the line of watches, clocks and jewelry, the house of P. Fager- crans & Co. stands unexcelled. Many of their goods are from their own manufactory. Every day, at noon, the exact meridian time is taken, and by means of their fine ship-chronometer an almost perfect time is kept.

In addition to these are many whose yearly sales aggregate many thousands of dollars, and to whom the city is indebted for her vitality

and growth.

THE PRESS.

The oldest paper in the county is the Bureau County Republican^ which was started January 1, 1858, by Hewett and Bates, in folio form, eight columns to the page. A year later the paper changed its size to a seven-column folio, with Hewett and Robinson as proprietors — Mr. Bates

having sold his interest to the latter gentleman. In L862, John !■'. Rhue purchased Mr. Robinson's interest, and two years later became a silent partm I ■ following year, Mr. J. W. Bailey purchased the entire paper, and very materially enlarged and improved it— refitting the office with new material and presses. He published it in quarto form, which it still retains. In 1872, Mr. L. J. Colton purchased a half interest, and the paper was published under the name of Bailey & Colton. [n 1874, he sold lii- share to Mr. Charles P. Bascom, who is still connected with the office — the firm name being Bailey & Bascom. The former gentleman has been connected with the Republican continuously for fourteen years, and nas been an editor nearly twenty-seven years, and a printer since his boyhood. He erected the present office building expressly lor his paper, [t comprises four rooms in the second story, and is well-appointed throughoul — having two steam-power presses, -team engine and other

n machinery.

The Bureau County Tribune was established in August, 1872, by W. II. Mesenkop, who published until December, when it was purchased by Smith & Winship. They continued the publication until July, 1873, when Mr. Winship retired, selling Ins interest to Mi-. E. K. Mercer. The linn continued as Smith ,V Mercer until October, 1875, when Mr. Smith retired, and I-'.. !•'. Doran took his place. By this firm the Tribune was jhed until September, I87t>, when Mr. Doran sold his interest to Mr. C. L. Smith, who, with Mr. Mereer, under the firm name of Mercer A Smith, still conduct the paper. It is well fitted in all its departments, with steam presses, and enjoys a large circulation in the country and m Iowa. Nebraska and Kansas.

Mr. 1). II. Dean, in October, l*7n. established a Book and Job Printing Office, lie is now supplied with material, and executes excel- lent work in excellent style.

Tilt'. SCHOOLS.

The first place of learning in Princeton was the basement of the Hampshire Colonj Church. During the Winter of 1836-7, a school was

maintained here, and for many years this was the school-house of the primitive city. Private schools were opened by several individuals. Prominent among these institutions was that of A. I>. Church, who i., ii In in his own dwelling, situated a short distance south of town. In L851, .lame- Smith kept a private school in a building he erected for that

purpose. It is now used for a dwelling. Some of these schools grew to be large, and wen- only discontinued on the completion of the public school building, which brought more and better advantages. In 1852,

the South Union Scl l-house was elected by John II. Bryant and

James Everett, and P.W.Ferris was chosen principal. The School Hoard, until April, 18^2, consisted of three persons, one of whom retired each year. The first incumbents of this office were Arvis S. Chapman, president ; -I. V. Thompson, clerk: and Jo*hn Riale. These were elected in L857, and chose II. I'. Farwell principal for the ensuing year, at a sal- ary of |700. Miss Allen. Miss Dunbar and Victoria White were em- ployed as teachers, at a salary of six dollars per week. Shortly after two others were added. The following have been the principals since: Mr. and Mrs. Forrest, Job. A. Parker.'. I. H. Blodgett, G. W. Dickenson, Mr.

HISTORY OF BUREAU COUNTY. 125

and Mrs. Bangs, M. E. Ryan, T. M. Johnson, E. P. Burlingame, Samuel F. Hull. Albert Ethridge, D. L. Hurd, Charles Robinson, and Z. S. Hills. These were in charge of the separate buildings. In 1868, Mr. Maltby was elected principal, and was the first to have charge of both North and South schools. The next year he was succeeded by the present superin- tendent, C. P. Snow, a native of Boston, Mass., and for several years a teacher at Peoria, Illinois. His salary was #1,500 per annum.

Up to this time very little effort had been made towards a systematic grading of the schools, and Mr. Snow at once entered upon that work with a will and a determination to succeed. The result is eminently sat- isfactory, as the schools are now unusually well graded for a place of this size.

Since the Fall of 1869, the schools have increased from less than five hundred to more than six hundred pupils in daily attendance.

Owing to the systematic grading' and thorough work done, pupils are now received into the Township High School more than two years younger, and much farther advanced than formerly. He is assisted by eleven teachers, whose entire salaries (including that of Mr. Snow) will aggregate $600 monthly.

The Princeton High School was organized under a special act of the legislature, and was the first township high-school in the State. The Board of Education, named in the act of incorporation, consisted of John H. Bryant, Rev. Flavel Bascom, George O. Ide, Esq., Jacob Chritzman, and Matthew Trimble. Messrs. S. G. Paddock, Hart Rawson, J. V. Thompson, Ohas. Baldwin, anil many others, were active in securing the school. The people of the town were remarkably unanimous in favoring the enterprise.

The building, which is four stories and a half in height, was com- pleted in 1867, and the school was opened in the Fall of the same year. The cost of the building, ground and apparatus, was #63,000. Mr. Henry L. Boltwood, who still is in charge of the school, was the first principal. Three young ladies assisted him. One hundred and forty pupils were enrolled at first. This institution has prospered well since. The ordinary number in attendance is over three hundred. Nine teachers are regularly employed. One hundred and twelve pupils have graduated, a large num- ber of whom have gone to college, or to professional studies. Two hun- dred and forty-eight teachers have gone out from the school. A large number of foreign pupils attend it, paving an annual tuition amounting almost to #2,000.

The school fits pupils thoroughly for colleges of high standing. Its course of study is five years. It has a very valuable reference library, and also ample philosophical and chemical apparatus. Few schools in the State are better prepared to do thorough work, or sustain a better reputa- tion.

THE CHURCHES.

appointments, he established one al Mr. Abraham Jones', two miles

north of the present City of Princeton, making the fourth preaching

in this Conference. The following persons composed the class

Formed at this time: James and Betsj Haves, Abraham and Mary

Jones, Barton and Susanna Jones, Robert Clark and Mrs. Clark,

Joseph Smith and Mrs. Smith, and Eliza Epperson. Of these, only one is living, viz : Mrs. Marj Jones.

In the year 1833 the northern pari oi Peoria Mission was divided, and called < Ittawa. To this Rev. William Royal was sent, who remained ,,,,,. vear. [n 18-14 Ottawa Mission was divided, and the west part was called Bureau Mission, to which Rev. S. R. Beggs was appointed for that year. ||,. remained until the year 1836. At tins time the Mission com- prised six or eight preaching places. Until the year 1838 the congrega- tion continued to worship at the house of Mr. Jones, when it was removed to that of the class-leader, S. F. Denning. In the Summer of money was raised for a brick church. The material was, however, spoiled in the making, and the project was abandoned.

The pastor of Princeton Church at this time was Rev. W. C. Cum- mings. During the year ls:'>7 Rev. Zadoc Hall was re-appointed here, the place being known as the head of Princeton District. The following year the congregation erected their first church, a small frame building, 20 by 30 feet. This was occupied by January 1. L838, and was dedicated in thi Summer <<( the following year by Elder John Sinclair. In L840 Princeton was made a part of the Rock River Conference, and l!e\ . Jon- athan M. Snow was appointed. In 1*^11 he was assisted by the Rev. ey Bachelor. The following year Revs. Harvey Hawley and S. F. i > nning were here. The preachers for the next year were Revs. Hawley and Simon K. Simon. In 1844 the Rev. J. G. Whitcomb preached; in 1845 and Mil the Rev. Sanders Walker : and during his ministry the brick church (novi Union Hall) was built. Following him was the Rev. 0. A. Walker, during the years 1847-8; in 1849, Rev. Geo. Sovesee ; 1850, Rev. J. H- D Moon: K.l-i', Rev. Martin I'. Sweet: 1853, Rev. John W. Stagdill ; 1854, Rev. Joseph O. Gilbert.

Rev. Silas Sear! labored in 1856-7, and Rev. ('has. French in 18f>8-9. During the years \si\-2 ■',, the Rev. W. C. Willing preaehed here, and during his pastorage the present church building was creeled. The cor- ner-stone was laid July 24, 1863, the address being delivered by the Rev. Chas. H. Fowler, of Chicago. The house was dedicated Jan. 24, 1864, I. M. Eddy, D.D., Editor of the Northwestern Christian Advo- The church, when completed, cost nearlj $12,000. Rev. N.

On the 5th of July, 1868, a heavy gale prostrated the spire of this church; though the Sabbath-school was in session at the time.no was injured. This was not replaced until the year 1869. The Rev. S. tf. Griffith was appointed here for the year 1868, followed by the Rev. .1. N. Caldwell, who remained two years. He was succeeded by the Ri .. W. 1). Skelton, who was pastor three years. In 1S74 Rev. W. H. '. o Line, who ministered for this charge one year, when the present pastor, Rev. John Ellis, was appointed.

HISTORY OF BUREAU COUNTY. 127

From a membership of eleven persons the church has grown to one hundred and sixty, with a Sabbath-school whose average attendance is one hundred and thirty-five.

The Presbyterian Church was organized Oct. 26, 1837, at the house of Rev. A. B. Church. Twenty-four persons, originally members of the Hampshire Colony Congregationalist Society, formed this charge. Of these, three only' are living, viz. : Philinda Robinson, and Adaline and Henrietta R. Bryant. At the organization, Rev. Church presided, and Asher Dolittle acted as clerk. The church was formed as the "Second Congregationalist Church of Princeton." For the first year, they occu- pied the upper story of Epperson's store. At the expiration of that time, they erected a- frame building near where their present church stands. In this they met for divine worship until the year 1856, when the present commodious house was built. In the year 1844, by a unanimous vote of the people, this charge became Presbyterian, and as such was received under the care of the Presbytery of Schuyler at Rock Island. The first Board of Elders in this church was composed of the following persons : Daniel Ralinson, Austin Bryant, Isaac Brokaw. and Samuel Corey. Its first pastor, Rev. Church, remained seven years, while they were under the care of the Congregationalists. He was followed by Rev. John Stoker — a supply for one year. The next, the Rev. William Perkins, who occu- pied the pulpit two years and six months. After him, the Rev. Ithamer PelLbury came, and remained pastor seven years. At the expiration of his pastorate, Rev. Mr. Carson, a supply, preached a short time, when the Rev. I. C. Barr was called, who ministered to this church one year and six months. He was succeeded by Rev. I. Milligan, now a resident min- ister, whose ministry was the longest of any — fifteen years and six months. Rev. L_C.. Hill was here one year and six months, when the present pas- tor, Rev. David G. Bradford, was called. The church is now in a pros- perous condition. The membership is 164. with a Sunday-school of 175 scholars.

The Congregationalist Church is the oldest society of this denomina- tion in Illinois. It was organized March 23, 1831, in Northampton, Mass., and for many years was known as the Hampshire Colony Church. At the organization, eighteen members from various chinches in the Counties of Hampshire, Hampden, and Franklin, Mass., and Putney, Vt., were admitted. Dea. E. S. Phelps, Dr. N. Chamberlain, and A. Whitmarsh were elected deacons, and in June of the same year they came to this state, and settled in the town of Princeton. Soon after its organization, and before the colony moved, one of the members died, and two more shortly after its arrival lime. The original membership was as follows: Dea. Ebenezer S. and Anna Phelps, from Northampton : Amos C. and Lucinda Morse, Daniel Brown, Elisha and Abigail Wood, and Samuel Brown, from Belchertown, Mass. ; Dr. Nathaniel Chamberlain, Putney, Vt. ; Levi and Louisa Jones, Amherst. Mass. ; John Leonard, Warwick, Mass. ; A hah and Naomi Whitmarsh, Springfield, Mass. ; Maria Lyman, South Hadley, Mass. ; Elijah Smith, Clarissa Childs and Sylvia Childs, from Conway, Mass. Of these only ten ever settled in this county, who are now members. The Indian war of 1831-'2 had so scattered the colony, that at the beginning of 1834 only four members of the church remained. These were Dr. Chamberlain, Elijah Smith and wife, and Mrs.

Street was pastor. Again for three years and six months the pulpit was vacant, when Rev. Nash was recalled, and preached here one half his time, from 1864 to 1871. Rev. Phillip McKim came in 1871, and remained three months, when Rev. Robert Page was called, who preached until 1875, when he was succeeded by the present pastor, Rev. R. N. Avery.

In 186s, the congregation completed, ready for use, a very commo- dious house of worship, at an expense of nearly 86,000. They now have about thirty-five communicants, and, with the St. Jude's Church, consti- tute one charge, under the ministry of Rev. Avery.

The German Evangelical Society is of recent origin, having been organized in 1874. This was effected through the labors of the present pastor, Rev. William Meyer, and about thirty families were gathered into this church. They were organized in a school-house, where they con- tinued to meet for* six months, when the present house of worship was so far completed that it could be occupied. It was dedicated in Febru- ary, 1875. Rev. Meyer was absent during that year, when the pulpit was supplied by the Rev. E. Hantel.

Rev. Meyer returned in August, 1876, and still continues in charge. The number of families remain about the same. The Sunday-school numbers nearly twenty pupils, which number is generally augmented dur- ing the more clement seasons of the year. Services are conducted at all times in the German language, the members being of that nationality, and several but a few years from their native country.

The Swedish Lutherans. In 1850 a few families from Sweden located in Princeton, after a short stay at Chicago, St. Charles, and a few other places. No hopes of any devotional exercises were entertained, when unexpectedly they were visited by the Rev. Unonius, an Episcopal minister of Chicago, who came on a missionary tour to his countrymen. He was followed by others, among whom were Rev. P. Palmquist, a Baptist minister, from Stockholm, Sweden ; Rev. Challman, Methodist, from Galesburg, Illinois; Rev. Hedstrom, Methodist, from Victoria, Henry County, and by John Anderson and C. J. Valentine, Lutheran Mission- aries. The court-house and school-house were freely opened to them, and for some years, whenever they would be visited by a minister, and often when not, services were held in these buildings.

By the year 18.14, immigration from the Scandinavian countries had obtained a new impetus, and many of these coming to Princeton, a gen- eral desire of the settlers to organize a church of their forefathers' faith (Lutheran), became prevalent. The illustrious Rev. L. P. Esbjorn, of Andover, Henry County, was called to assist in this object. A meeting was called in the South Union School-house, on June 16, 1854, when the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Church was organized, with the expressed intention to join the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Northern Illinois, as an integral part of that body. This was signed that day, on behalf of the church, by P. Fagercrans, N. P. Linquist, E. Wester, Jacob Nyman, N. Linderblad, L. Frid, and Lars Anderson. At the end of two years they had so increased as to be able to erect a church. Rev. Esbjorn was again called to take charge of the congregation, and on the 27th of May of that year, at a regular business meeting, they elected their first Board of Trustees, composed of the following persons: Eric Wester, Swan Frid,

The Catholics have a small society here. Not being aide to sustain a priest, they are ministered to occasionally by one from a neighboring parish. There are hut i\-\v professing this faith in Princeton, and but little hopes are entertained of building up a large congregation. Their church was erected in the year 1865 or 1 x t ; t ; , and was mainly due to the efforts and aid of .Mr. (iosse and Mr. Griffith, the latter being one of the leading members.

The African M. E. Church organized bj Rev. Daniel Weber, -in December, 1868, with nine members. The increase has been good. They now occupy the old Baptist Church, which they purchased some years since, and refitted in a comfortable manner. The present pastor is Rev. Jones.

LAMOILLE,

Laid out in April. 1836, by Tracy Reeve and Dr. John Kendall, was then called Greenfield. It was afterwards changed to its present name by Dr. Kendall, who had passed his boyhood days on the Lamoille River, in La- moille County, Vermont. Six years before this time, William Hall had made a claim and built a cabin on the site of the village. Here he remained some eighteen months. In 1832 he sold to Aaron Gunn. and removed to Indian Creek, where he and his family were killed by Indians. At the commencement, of the Black Hawk War " Dimmick's" Grove was abandoned by its owner, and the farm grew up to weeds. It was again inhabited in 1834, and at the time mentioned the town plat was made — a short distance north of the Grove. Shortly after the town was laid off. Tracy Reeve erected a dwelling, the first house in the village, although three buildings stood on the village site when it was surveyed. Mr. Reeve, in 1837, erected the pioneer store. It was a frame structure, occupving the land now owned by Frank Anger. Here a general store was kept for some time, when he sold to a Mr. Fox, who kept the same line of goods. In 183!', Dr. Kendall built the hotel now known as the Bigelow House. Three years before, Mr. Holbrook opened a small tav- ern, sufficient to accommodate these seeking homes in this part of the county. He rented it in 1838 to two men named Bliss and Lloyd, who discontinued it as a hotel on the completion of Dr. Kendall's more commodious house.

Asaph N. Brown was the first blacksmith in Lamoille: his shop occupying the ground just south of Dr. Avery's residence. Here he remained two years, when Mr. Holbrook purchased it, followed the trade two years, and sold to James Burroff. A wagon-maker named John Marsh came in 1845, and remained until his death.

In 1837 the post-office was established, and Tracy Reeve appointed post-master. Owing to there being a post-office named Greenfield, the necessity arose for a new name for the village, and Dr. John Kendall sug- gesting Lamoille, it was adopted.

In 1868 occurred the only tragedy happening within the limits of the village. An Englishman, of a mosl jealous disposition, so mistreated his wife that she was compelled to leave him. As she was leaving his house he followed her into the street and shot her. He was at once arrested, and placed in jail to escape the populace, and for safe keeping. Being adjudged of unsound mind, he was sentenced to only a long term of years in the penitentiary. Here he was adjudged insane and sent to the lunatic asylum, from which he managed to escape. Coming again to Lamoille, he followed his old pursuit of hunting, from which he obtained a precarious existence, and which had tended to render his wife so unhappy. Returning on the railroad track one day from one of his long hunts, he, owing to his deafness, was run over by the cars and killed. In the year 1843 a man by the name of McMar- tin, a peddler from New York, was accidentally shot by a pistol in the hands of a comrade, with which they had been firing at a mark. He had disposed of his wares, ami at the time of the accident was stopping at the Biarelow House. This affair created considerable excitement,

186 HISTORY OF BUREAU 001 NTT.

as he had been some time in the community, and had gained a host of friends.

Lamoille was always possessed with a spirit of freedom, and being filled with men whose views were strong anti-slavery, it was often a harbor for Southern refugees. The village for many years maintained a slow, steady growth. Owingto the failure of some of the projected rail- roads, and the facl of the C. B. <\ Q. ll.lt. going four miles south, the growth was somewhat retarded. This was materially changed in 1S71, when a branch of the latter-named railroad passed through town, and at once a change for the better appeared. New buildings were erected, ami in a few Years the village grew from a few hundred inhabitants to nearly a thousand. Lamoille now contains twenty stores, seven shops, two elevators, one mill, one hay press, four physicians, a graded school, churches, and one newspaper. This latter, the Clipper, has just issued its first number, and is a very sprightly four-page sheet. The editor is II. P. Chadwick.

THE SCHOOLS.

\ hool was taught l>\ Mrs. Eliza Bo wen, now .Mrs. Walter

Porter. She taughl in her own residence, freely. In 1838 a small frame house was built for school purposes, the money necessary to build it being raised by subscription. Mere school was held for five years, when the

:it brick building was finished. It contains two rooms, is capable of immodating one hundred scholars. The attendance is good, under the superintendence of S. C. Whipple.

in I : CHURCHES.

The oldest religious organization in Lamoille is the Baptist Church, which was organized Ma\ 5, 183S, by its first pastor. Rev. Henry Head- ley, who remained in charge until 1841. Nine persons constituted this charge. Thej were: John Hetzler, Sr., Timothy Perkins, Adam and Mary Spaulding, Joseph and Mary Fassett, Moses and Eliza Bowen, and .1. .1. Holbrook. Mrs. Bowen — now Mis. Porter — and Mr. Holbrook art; the only ones of this number still members. Divine service was held in the old school-house. Here they met until April. 18.">0. when they erected a brick church at a cost of $2,000. They worshiped here until Febru- ary, 1867, when ii was sold — now being used as a blacksmith shop — and their present fine .-tincture completed. This is the finest church in town. It cosl 112,500, and will seat lot) persons. After Rev. Headley

left, the congregation were supplied with transient ministers three years, when the Rev. I'.. B. Carpenter was installed, who remained until 1st.,. He was followed by the Rev. S. S. Martin, from 1845 to IMS. Again they were supplied until 1850, when Rev. W. I>. Clark was called, and remained as pastor three years. In 1854, Rev. A. Angier came, ami the

year died. He was succeeded by the Rev. N. G. Collins, from 1854

to 1861; Rev. J. Winters from 1862 to L863 or '64 ; Rev. 1. Fargo, now

at Princeton, from 1864 to 1868; Rev. William Green, from lsyu to 1*74.

The Congregationalist Church was organized May 12, 1840, by the Rev. Owen Lovejoy, with fourteen members, viz: Zenas Church, Julian Church, Benj. Mather, Mrs. Francis Dodge, David Lloyd, Timothy Ed- wards, Mrs. Catharine Edwards, David Wells, Asajdi N. Brown, Lyman and Margaret Eastman, T. P. Rust, Hannah Dodge — now Mrs. Rust — and Mrs. Maria Clapp, who is the only one of this number now a mem- ber here. Their church was erected in 1849, at a cost of $1,500. It was a two-story building, and for some time the lower story was used for school purposes. At this time the membership was nearly forty. The pastor was Rev. Lewis E. Sykes. In 1863 this building was taken down to be replaced by a larger and more commodious structure, finished the following year, at a cost of near $5,000, and was a matter of some pride to the congregation. On the morning of Sunday, February 10, 1867, this fine building took fire, shortly before the assembling of the people, and lmincd to the foundation. It was a severe blow, but the people at once went to work, and by the generous aid of the inhabitants of the village, built their present church. The membership is now ninety-eight, the Sabbath-school fully as large, the Superintendent of which is John Clapp. The pastors of this congregation have been the following: Rev. Morrell, Rev. John Crep, Rev. Adams. Rev. L. E. Sykes, Rev. ('<. B. Hub- bard, Rev. George Colman, Rev. Fitch, Rev. Burns, Rev. L. Gort, who remained nine years, Rev. Lightbody, in 1871, who lost his life by being thrown from his carriage, by a runaway team and was buried at Bradford, Canada, Rev. M. Willett, and the present pastor, Rev. L. F. Bickford. Two young men, Cephas F. Clapp, preaching in Wisconsin, and William (t. Dickinson, at Creston, Ills., have been sent from this congregation.

The M. E. Church. Preaching was held in this locality by the ministers of this denomination as early as 1835. Meetings were held at this date in private houses; afterwards in the old school-house. Here they met for some ten years. This little old structure was made a sort of vade mecum for church, school, election, railroad, and various other meet- ings. About 1850, or 1851, they erected their present frame church. The membership is not large, and the charge is in connection with that at Arlington, in which account the names of the pastors are given. The church supports a very creditable Sabbath-school.

In Clarion Township, east and northeast of Lamoille, are three German churches. The oldest is the German Evangelical, which was organized about 1850. In 1843, Mr. John Fauble settled in this locality, and for many years his church was house and home, to those professing this faith, who desired to find new homes in the West. In 1846, services were held in his house by the Rev. S. A. Tobias, who remained a short time. In 1848, the place of meeting was changed to the house of Mr. Jacob Betz. where services were held for five years. A class was formed in 1850, of which Jacob Popp was leader, and Jtcob Betzexhorter. The next year, two (lasses were formed, to which Rev. J. C. Anthes preached. The following year, the Sunday-school was formed, and in 1853, the first church erected. It was dedicated in 1854, by the first Bishop of the Evangelical Association, John Seybert, D.D. In 1856, a great camp meeting was held in the grove adjoining the church, and three years after, the first revival occurred, when some fifty persons were

WALNUT

was laid out 1>\ Richard Brewer, in January, 1865, and by him culled Brewersville. Mr. Brewer owned the greater portion of the village site, and from him the town received its tirsl name. For many years liefore the completion of the railroad to this point, a post-office had been main- tained at the grove, a short distance south of the village plat, known by the name of the grove, •* Walnut." As the name of the village did not come into popular use. and as letters and packages continued to be sent to the old post-office — which, in fact, was never changed — in the year 1-7". the villagi assumed this name, and as such was incorporated in 1*7_'. Mr. Brewer still lives on his farm near the village. To the first

, an addition was laid out, comprising the southeast part of town. I Mr. I).i\i- Wolf, who was one of the first merchants. Dr. A. L. Bay- ard, John and Milton Savers. Josiah Jones, and Isaac k'elley. were among

early prominent settlers. In 1871, the depot was built, and about the same time the elevator of Simmons & Able, of Sandwich; another was added \,\ Conkej .V Towner, of Mendota. The first mill was built

-7-1, by Benj. .Moss: this was burned in 1875, and at once rebuilt by C. II. Adams & <'o. A lumber yard was opened in 1871, bj William Miles; it is now conducted by M. Mercer.

The growth of Walnut has Keen very prosperous. The population is now ncail\ 800, and has a good trade, supporting eleven stores, nine shop.-, one hank, three hotels, four attorneys, and four physicians. The town is sti'ong prohibitionary in taste, there being a large temperance society having three hundred and fifty members. A good graded school, two churches and one weeklj newspaper are sustained.

made the paper all its name signifies, being a moving power for good. It is strictly a first-class local independent paper, and is issued at ordinary rates.

THE SCHOOLS.

For man}- Winters school was held in a log-house in Walnut Grove. In 1859, this gave place to a more convenient frame structure of the modern pattern. This was used until 1869, when the first school-house in the village was built, composed of two rooms. It was afterwards enlarged to double that capacity, and now contains four rooms, each thirty feet square. The number of pupils enrolled is one hundred and twenty- two, of which one hundred and nine are in daily average attendance. Four teachers are employed, viz : G. P. Peddicord, Principal ; Miss Ella Swayne, grammar department : Mrs. Grace W. Peddicord, intermediate, and Miss Chloe Mitchell, primary.

THE CHURCHES.

The Baptist Church was organized in June, 1858, at the house of Mr. J. H. Savers, by the Rev. N. G. Collins. Sixteen members were received, prominent among whom were W. H. Mapes. J. II. Savers. E. F. Sayers, and their wives, also John Nelson and wife. For some time ser- vices were held at the Dodge school-house, and for two years in the Wal- nut school-house, when they again worshiped in private dwellings. About this time the Rev. C. First came and instituted a revival, which resulted in much good to the church, so they were enabled to build a church. It was dedicated in June, 1871, and was erected at a cost of $3,800.

The Rev. Sealy had ministered to this charge at different times

before Rev. First came. After the latter, Rev. J. B. Brown remained some time, and was followed by the present pastor. Rev. B. F. Colwell. The membership is now titty-two, with a Sabbath-school of nearly seventy in regular attendance, the superintendent of which is T. L. Philips.

The M. E. Church. After many attempts and much trouble, this church has established itself upon a firm foundation. It is now in a good, prosperous condition, and growing well. The class here dates back sev- eral years prior to the advent of the village. But the church is of com- paratively recent date, and within a few years has completed and now occupy a very commodious edifice. They number about fifty members, sustain a good Sabbath-school, and a regular succession of the ministry.

OHIO.

Prior to the completion of the branch of the C. B. & Q. R. R., run- ning through the northern portion of Bureau County, the land now covered by the village was the farm of Jacob Albrecht. Bi 1*71, he laid off the land into village lots, and began their sale. J. T. Walter and William YVillson erected a building and opened a store. Two or three saloons were also built, having been completed the January pre- ceding the laying out of the town. Mr. Walter and the Willson brothers built a much larger store soon after, which is still occupied. On the deeds given by Mr. Albrecht, the name of the village is that of the original owner, but that never came into common use, and a petition

now before the judge will in all probability Legalize the name now used. The post-offioe had been maintained here several years before the town came into existence, under the name of the township : lienee the desira- bility of continuing it. The town has. in live years' time, increased in a population of three hundred, ami supports a very creditable trade.

There are four drj g Is stores, two drug and grocery stores, one furni-

: ore. two shoe shops, three blacksmiths, two wagon shops, one hotel. two hardware stores, one agricultural store, one lumber and coal yard, three saloons, one carpenter shop, one barber shop, one harness shop, two milliners, two physicians, a good school, and three churches.

Previous to 1871, the school was maintained at district No. 2. From

there it was removed to the basement of the Methodisl Church, where it was taught until the completion of the present school building. This cosl some 17,000, contains four rooms, three of which are occupied. The

i] numbers nearlj one hundred and thirty pupils, requiring three teachers, under the charge of Supt. X. S. Hills.

\ . irK as L846, the members of the Christian Church had held meetings for devotional exercises, although no organization was effected until the 24th of January, 1852. These meetings had been held at resi- dences and in the scl 1-houses, principally in the south part of the

township. The organization was effected in school-house No. 2, and twenty-six members united in forming this charge. Joseph and John Ross were elected elders, and Andrew Ross and Rodolphus Cliilds, dea- cons. The congregation continued to meet in the school-house until the year 1854, when they erected the old church, costing nearly $1,800, and locating it on the farm of John Moss. Here they remained till 1871, when they huilt their present house of worship, at a cost of •>.">, 000. and located it in the village of Ohio. At the opening of this church, in June, L872, there were twenty-five members to unite at the new place, some few remaining to worship in tin' old church. There are now loo mem- bers, and a Sabbat h-school nearly as large, under the superintendence of Geo. R. Ross. Elder Andrew Ross has ministered to these people from the commencement of their organization until the present time.

The Catholics have the finest church edifice in the town. Before the year ls7l the members went to Amboy, Dixon, and Mendota, to attend service; but that year. Father McDermitt, of Dixon, gathered them into one fold, and organized the church. There were nearly one hundred members by this time in and about the village, who met tit a school-house not far from town, until their church, which cost $15,000, could he used. This was effected in September, 1874, and for one year they occupied the basement. The church was dedicated Nov. 11. ls7-~>. The present priest, Father 1'. J. Gormley, has had charge more than a \ i ai . The membership is 1 25, the Sabbat h-school numbering nearly 60. The windows of the church edifice were donated, the donors' names appearing in the '_;ia>s.

The Methodist ('hiireh, ai Ohio Village, was organized in 1871, with twenty members. This same year the church was built, the pastor being Rev. W. II. Jordan. lb' was succeeded by the Revs. C. Gray, W. H.

TISKILWA,

The second town in size in the county, contains about 1,600 inhabi- tants. On January 15, 18o6, Windsor was founded by Dr. A. Lang- worthy, including that part of Tiskilwa lying in Arispie township. Its surveys embraced all of the old Indian village, cornfields and dance- ground. It was a big thing. Of all paper towns, it exceeded any that came into existence during the wild speculations of 183(3. In March of this same year, a large addition was made to Windsor by J. W. Kinney, called West Windsor, which included that part of Tiskilwa lying in the township of Indiantown. This was also a large town on paper, its streets bearing the names of the Presidents. Its existence was short, as it was vacated September 17 of the same year. On its ruins the village of Indiantown sprung up. For four years the two towns were rivals. between which the best of feeling did not exist. They were "married" in 1840 and thenceforward bore the name of Tiskilwa, which, inter- preted, means " Gem of the Valley."

In 1856 the "new" town was incorporated, and the following coun- cil elected: Dr. William Kirkpatrick, Pres.; Hon. B. N. Stevens, Clerk ; William T. Swain, O. W. Battey, and James T. Cook, Trustees. Tin- officers of 1876 are C. N. Stephens, Pres.; J. H. Welsh, Clerk ; Daniel Inhof, John Wytre, and C. C. Slygh. In 184o, a mill called Simmon's Mill was erected. This is still in operation. Along the banks of Big Bureau Creek may be seen the ruins of many such structures. mementoes of days that are gone.

The town enjoys a good trade. There are fourteen stores, nine shops of all kinds, three saloons, one hotel, five physicians, two elevators, one bank, a good graded school and four churches.

THE PRESS.

Mr. D. B. Sherwood, September 2, 1876, issued the first number of the Tiskilwa Register, a four-page paper. It is devoted mainly to home interests; is a good advertising medium, and ranks second to none in the county.

THE SCHOOLS.

The pride of Tiskilwa is its graded school. The building is said In- competent judges to be the finest for any town in the state the size of this, out of Chicago. It was built in 1867 at a cost of $35,000, and will seat nearly 300 pupils. The average attendance is now 172 ; the enroll- ment 20'2. The principal is It. E. Culler, whose assistants are: Miss Jennie Butler, grammar department ; Miss Bertha Welsh, intermediate; Miss Emily Thompson, second primary, and Mrs. J. S. Hepperley, first primary.

The pioneer school of Tiskilwa was taught in 1838, when the town was divided. It was held in a small frame building which stood on the lot now occupied by the hardware store of H. D. Gibbs & Co. Here Miss Abbie Emerson, (now Mrs. Lyford, of Galesburg,) sister of Judge Emerson, instructed the youth of the village. The house was often church, town hall, and a place for holding elections and railroad meet- ings. This school was started by the settlers taking shares, most of

1 (•_' HISTORY OF BURE \l COUNTY,

which were bought by Am.iri.ili Watson, who, in after years, purchased all, and in 1843 sold the house and lot to the school trustees for educa- tional purposes. A petition, unanimously signed, was presented to these trustees, asking for the erection of a union school-house between the Tiskilwa House and the Indiantown line. This was granted, a union district formed, and the firsl brick school-house in Bureau County

ed. li was completed and occupied in 1850. Mr. AJanson Benson, still a resident, was the first principal in the building. It remained in use until 1867, when it gave way for the present structure, and is now the Catholic < 'lunch.

The Secretary of the Scl 1 Board, Mr. J. If. Welch, keeps the

neatest and most correct record of any in the county.

THE CHURCHES.

The Baptist Church organized April IS, 1858, in the M. E. Church ; twenty-three persons enrolled themselves as members, and were consti- tuted a church by the Rev. F. B. Ives. who. for eleven years, was pastor of the congregation. II" was followed by W. R. Webb, I). I)., who re- mained for three years, and was succeeded by Rev. C. F. Nicholson, who was pastor three months, when the present pastor, Rev. F. .lames, came. Of those received at the organization, the following are now members B. F. and Mrs. L. Allen. Mrs. M. A. Owe,,, Mrs. Joel Colby, Mrs. .1. M. Patt, E. A. Sawyer, W. W. Carpenter, Alex. Benson, J. E. and Mr-. .1. Williams. A. W. Blake, Mrs. .1. F. Blake, Isaac Tebow, Mrs. I), e, and Mr-. Sarah Tebow. The congregation occupied the M. E. Church a short lime when the\ tilled up a hall, where they worshiped one war. and removed to the old Union School-house — now the Cath- olic Church — here they remained until the completion of their house of worship. Ii was dedicated in 1859, its cost being about $2,800. The membership was then about seventy-live. The church was repaired in 1867 at an additional expense of $3,000. The roll of members has doubled in numbers, with a Sabbath-school nearly as large, the superin- tendent of which is .1. M. Gardner.

The Catholic Church. This denomination have had a society here for Borne time. It is not able to maintain a pastor, and receives the min- istrations of priests from other churches.

Tie- Episcopal Church. In 1843 Bishop Philander Chase visited this county. Near Princeton he found the family of Capt. Samuel Swift, whose wife was a communicant of thai body. In the vicinity were Dr. .1. Woodruff, Thomas Woodruff, and a few in the town of Arispie, whom he gathered together and organized as a church under the name of "Christ's Church of Arispie." Ii was admitted into convention in 1848 with thirty-six communicants. The same year he held a confirmation and admitted thirteen others. The Rev. Richard Radley made monthly visit- to this charge, coming from Jubilee College. The next year Rev. Stephen R. Childs was appointed, and a lot was purchased, but owing to

va is causes no building was erected. An organization was effected

Providence, called Providence, prior to that of Tiskilwa, and was in connection with the latter and Princeton — when organized — one charge. [n I -I ; i '.wni . acres and fifty dollars were offered Bishop Chase to build • i church, but then the society was not aide to give the necessary addi-

tional means. During Rev. Childs' ministry services were occasionally held at Princeton. In 1851 Rev. C. DeWolfe came and preached until 1853, when he was succeeded by the Rev. Geo. A. Porter, who remained until 1854. Tiskilwa Church was regularly admitted, under the name of " St. Jude's Church," November 25 of that year, while Rev. Porter was pas- tor. There were twelve communicants in Tiskilwa and twenty-four at Providence. In April, 1855, Rev. F. B. Nash was sent to these churches, and included within his pastorate these and the charge at Princeton. He remained until 1859, when he was succeeded by the Rev. Geo. C. Street, who became rector, and remained till 1862. These .churches were with- out a pastor until December, 1863, when Rev. Nash was again installed, and preached at Tiskilwa and Providence regularly, and occasionally at Princeton. During his ministry, the church at this latter place became self-sustaining, and that at Providence was discontinued, being merged into Tiskilwa. As this latter was the most central place, a lot was pur- chased there in 1*57, and a rectory erected at a cost of #1,000. Eight years after, a lot was bought for a church and work on that building commenced. It was completed the following year, and in 1870 was dedicated. The entire cost was $5,500. At this time the membership of the St. Jude's Church was only fifteen. Rev. Nash remained until 1871, being succeeded the same year by the Rev. Philip McKim, who officiated until 1874. After him Rev. James Cornell was rector one year, and was followed by the present rector. Rev. R. N. Avery. The con- gregation is now in a good condition, being connected with the Church of the Redeemer at Princeton as one charge.

SHEFFIELD.

In 1852, the Sheffield Mining and Transportation Company was formed. This company purchased of John G. Reed one thousand acres of land, and laid out the town — naming it in honor of Hon. Joseph E. Shef- field of New Haven, Conn., one of the original owners. The principal men in this enterprise were Charles Atkinson, Henry Farnam, and Ebenezer Cook. Their purpose being to develop the coal found in this locality, they erected the Sheffield Hotel, and sunk their main shaft in Mineral Township, about a half mile from the village. Their outlay in this enter- prise, for the land alone, was $10,000, but they have been abundantly repaid, as a superior quality of coal is mined here, and at a moderate depth. The shaft runs diagonally into the earth, and is now about thirty feet deep. The coal is hauled out by mules in small cars, and dumped in sheds, from which it is loaded on the cars. It is mainly used by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, who cany the surplus west. Fifty men are employed, and nearly one hundred tons per day mined. The secretary of this company is now Mr. A. YV. Hoyden.

At the same time the hotel was erected, Mr. E. Smith built a store; the building is now used by B. M. Howard. The first secretary of the Mining Company was Mr. Alex. Ruthven, who filled that office until 1856. In 1854, or 1855, the Railroad Company erected an elevator; Mr. A. G. Scott added another in 1860. Much of the prosperit}' of the town and coal interests — the latter having made the town — is due to Mr. H. C. Porter, successor of Mr. Alex. Ruthven, who remained until 1874 or

Ill HISTORY OF BUREAU COTJMTY.

l-T .. He was a very enterprising man. and did more than any one individual to promote its growth.

The first house erected in this locality was buill of logs, by Mr. J. <i. Reed, and used for some time by him for a residence. His son, Fitzhugh, was the tirst child born in Sheffield. The Mining Company erected a frame building near the coal bank almost as early as Mr. Reed bnilt his cabin. Tiny hauled the lumber for its const met ion from Chicago, 136 miles distant. The village site, the highest point of land on this railroad in the county, was, prior to its occupation by the while man, well supplied with game. Mr. Reed could supply his table with excellent

venison without going far from his door. Hut l>y the year IS08, a complete change had occurred. The village life was a reality ; two churches existed; several hundred people lived here: a good school was maintained, and a heavj trade in coal successfully conducted. The town has been incorporated, and the present town officers are : W. F. Law ton,

dent; B. F. Dewey. Clerk: A. G. Scott, A. Marple, and John Mo ran. II. P. Humphreys is Police Magistrate. Sheffield now contains

over thousand inhabitants, and has a good trade, supporting fourteen

stores; five or six shops, two hotels, two physicians, one bank, one graded scl 1. and six churches.

CHURCHES.

The Catholic- Church have held services here, from time to time, the commencement of the town. They had a membership of one hundred here and in the vicinity by the years 1861 or '62, when they were properly organized, and regular services were held from that time. At this same lime they built their present church. The membership — all in the Catholic family are counted — is now fully five hundred, many of whom live in the country. Previous to building their church, meet- ings were held in the public hall. The priest is Rev. II. O. Me- Shane. In connection with this church is the "St. Patrick's Total Ab- stinence and Benevolenl Society, No. 32." None but communicants are members. It was organized in May. 1869, and has now a large member- ship. The officers are Rev. H. < >. McShane, President, and J. B. Moran, Corresponding Secretary. The meetings of this society are held every Sunday, immediately after sen ice.

The Con malist Society was organized July 15, 1854, at the

I eld House. The sermon on this occasion was preached by the Rev. L. II. Parker, Moderator of the Council. Nine persons were admitted to membership, viz: Cyrus W. and .Mary R. Beach, Alexander and Almira Ruthven, Mai Gillespie, Eliza D. Conran, Mar\ Eastabrook, Avery

T. and Dorcas Farnham. The last two only of this number are now living in the bounds of this congregation. U<\ . A. I.\ man had. previous to the

Their first meetings were held in private houses, next in the railroad depot, where they continued one year, when the school-house being com- pleted, they occupied that till 1857, when they completed their church. The i ition now has seventy-five members, and a Sabbath-school of

one hundred scholars, of which A. W. Boyden is Superintendent.

HISTORY OF BUREAU COUNTY. 145

The Free Methodist Church was organized in the Winter of 186G, in the house of Mrs. Ellen Scott. Amos and Mrs. Bailey, Jesse and Maria Cain, and Mrs. E. V. Scott constituted the membership. The)- continued to worship at Mrs. Scott's a short time, then at the M. E. Church, in the public hall, and for several years they rented their present church edifice from a Mr. Smith, who held control of the building. In 1875, they were enabled to purchase this house (it had formerly been the school-house). The membership then had increased but very little ; but in March, 1876, a revival was held, which resulted in increasing their number to nearly sixty, the present membership. The Sabbath-school numbers forty, under charge of John Hill. The Rev. J. E. Whiting, pastor.

The Danish Lutheran Church was organized in 1869, at the school- house, about fifteen persons joining. The minister was Rev. C. L. Clauson. Meetings for religious exercises were held in the various churches in the village "until 1872, when they purchased the old M. E. Church, and refit- ting it, now occupy it. They have about one hundred members, with a good Sunday-school. Services are held monthly, being conducted in the Danish language.

The M. E^ Church has a membership of 115, under the ministry of Rev. A. Beeler. The Sabbath-school numbers 150 pupils. The church has been maintained here for many years, at first, as all others, as a cluss; then a regularly instituted society. It is now in a prosperous con- dition.

The Unitarian Society. The first meetings were held during the Summer of 1868 at Whipple Hall, by Rev. E. H. Danfourth. On Feb- ruary 7th of the following year the church was organized with thirty-six members. Of these three have died, fourteen have removed, and one withdrawn. Twenty-three have since joined, making a membership at present of forty-one. Rev. E. H. Danfourth remained one year, and was succeeded by Rev. Zera Maskers, who remained three years. He was followed by Rev. Chester Covell, whose term of pastorage is now three years and six months.

The church was built during the years 1869 and '70, and on Novem- ber 16, 1N70, was dedicated. The entire cost was $6,500.

THE SCHOOLS.

In a little building now occupied by Gunkle & Son, as a lime store- house, the first village school was taught. The teacher was Miss Jennie Beach, whose attendance of scholars was rather meager. Thereafter private schools were held, the principal one being conducted in what was afterwards called " Whipple's Hall." A Mr. Cooper was Principal here. In 1855 the first building for school purposes was erected. It is now the Free Methodist. Church. In this structure O. A. Davis. A. L. Stearne,

During the term of service of one of these gentlemen, the Board of Education purchased a small build- ing, now the residence of Mrs. Bowmaster, for a primary department. It was occupied as such during the Winter of 1864-'65. The latter year the schools were first thoroughly graded by the present Principal, J. A. Mercer, who has had charge since, except during the years 1869, '70, and

Before the completion of the railroad through this village, a post- office, known as French Grove, had been maintained for some time. James S. /ink owned the greater p irtion of the land comprising the vil- lage siie. and in 1854 laid out the town. At the same time, Judge Emerson platted an addition, including the lot occupied by his residence. \V. II. Bloom erected a store about the same time, and the railr 1 com- pany constructed their depot buildings. In the Spring of L855, Dr. Hoi ten, the lirsi physician, located. Judge Emerson, who was the pioneei store-keeper in this Ideality, hired blacksmiths to work in a shop u\\ 1 by him. A shoe-maker, named Peter J. Westervelt, and a wagon- maker, named Louis Stety, also located, [n 1869, the flouring mill was built. It has a capacitj of one hundred barrels per day. The owners, J. B. Stewart & Co., cany on an extensive business in grain. This same year, the branch railway, known as the Hilda and Rnshvillc Railroad', was completed, running between these points. One year afterwards, the Hilda Manufacturing Company was organized. The prime movers in this enterprise were ('apt. Ford and J. B. Stewart. Stock to the amount

i0,000 was taken, and the manufacture of reapers and mowers at once commenced. This was abandoned to a great extent in 1873, and the making of the " Tongueless " Walking Cultivator was begun. The sales will aggregate from $25,000 to $40,000 annually. The secretary of the company is A. II. Gunn. Buda — named in honor of Kossuth's town in Hungary- has grown in twenty-two years of its existence to a place of nine hundred inhabitants, enjoys a good trade, supporting fifteen tores, eight shops, two hotels, two banks, two elevators, one lumber yard, and no saloons. Within its limits is a good graded school, and five churches.

SCHOOLS.

Iii L855, school was held in a house now owned as a residence by Franklin Foster. The teacher was Jacob Miller, present County Super? intendent, Who had an attendance of over fifty pupils. Mere education was maintained for the youth of Hilda some four or five years, when the present fine structure was erected. It will accommodate two hundred and fifty pupils. The attendance is now one hundred and eighty-four. Mr. J. N. Wilkinson is Superintendent, having four assistants.

time. Services were held in the school-house until their church was erected. Its dedication took place in December following the organ- ization. The congregation has grown to a membership of nearly two hundred. It holds no ecclesiastical relation with any sect. The Sabbath- school numbers about eighty scholars, the superintendent of which is Dr. J. Richards.

The Congregationalist Church was organized October 17, 1856, at the house of Joseph Foster, with the following members : Franklin Foster, Joseph Foster, William F. and Mrs. M. F. Randall, and Mrs. Harriet Foster.

The Rev. F. Bascom preached the sermon at this time. Ser- vices were held after this until the year 1862, in the school-house. This latter date the church was erected at a cost of $1,700. The congre- gation has now a membership of fifty-two. and a Sabbath-school averag- ing nearly seventy scholars. This charge is connected with the Sheffield Church — the Rev. T. YV. Colman being the pastor.

The Baptist Church. By the year 1856, nearly forty persons profess- ing this faith had settled in and around Buda. This year the Rev. Wil- liam McDermond, the present pastor, gathered them together, and organ- ized a church in the old school-house. The same year they built their present church edifice. It cost $3,000, and has a capacity of two hun- dred. Some of the early members were William H. and Mary Patterson, J. W. and Mrs. Lewis, Thomas and Mrs. McMurry, and William and Mrs. Crisman. The membership is now nearly seventy, the Sabbath-school some larger, under the superintendence of B. F. Waite.

The M. E. Church was organized in the year 1851, at the school-house. Among its early members were Joseph Green, class-leader ; John Mason and wife, Thomas and Mrs. Stinson, Samuel and Mrs. Zink, George Kri- ger and wife, Elizabeth Stinson. Catharine Zink. and Emeline Herbert. The first meetings were held in the school-house. The church was com- pleted and dedicated March 2, 1865. The cost, including the lot, was about fL 000. For several years the growth of the congregation was very rapid. Of late years, however, through deaths, removals, and other causes, it has remained at the same point in regard to numbers. The present membership is ninety-five.

The following have been the pastors for this charge : Rev. William Smith, one year; Rev. C. M. Wright, one year; Rev. James Linthicum, two years ; Rev. Raphael Kinney, two years ; Rev. William Leber, two

years ; Rev. Elliott, six months ; Rev. A. A. Matthews, two vears and

six months; Rev. D. M. Hill, two years; Rev. J. E. Rutledge, one year and six months ; Rev. M. V. B. White, two years and six months ; Rev. H. Tiffany, one year ; Rev. J. J. Fleharty, two years ; Rev. A. Fisher, one year ; and Rev. B. E. Kaufman, one year. The present pastor, Rev. White, is serving his second term. The Church supports a Sabbath- school, the superintendent of which is J. J. Westervell.

The Winebrennarian Church, or Church of God. This denomina- tion was started at. Harrisburgh, Pa., in 1830, by the followers of John Winebrenner, formerly a German Reformed minister. They are Evan- gelical in belief, practice immersion, and believe in the literal washing of the feet. They have several newspapers and colleges, and, in 1873, had 30,000 members, 460 churches, and 410 ministers. The Church of God in Buda was first organized eight or ten years ago. The leading original

members were: Geo. Thomas and wife, David Diltz, Sr., and wife, and David Diltz, Jr., and wife. The first pastor was Elder Geo. W. Thomp- son, then J. M. Cassel, and latterly Elder J. E. Boyer. When sent on tin- field two years ago, the church had no place to worship in, and they set about the erection of a house. They succeeded in getting a lot oppo- site the hotels for four hundred dollars, on which we erected a well finished house, the entire cost of which was about three thousand dollars. The house was dedicated December 12. 1875, by Elder A. X. Shoemaker. of Chicago, 111. They then re-organized the church, which now consists of sixteen members. Geo.- Thomas and Mark Anderson are ruling Elders, and John Berkstresser, deacon of the society. The eon-Te-ations are usually large.

rs in tic- southwest part of the county, and contains about nine hundred inhabitants. Prior to the completion of the railway at this place, a post- was maintained at the Grove, north of the village. At that time this portion of Bureau county was an unbroken prairie. Mr. M. H. Lee, who, for eighteen years was station agent, built the first house on the village ground. The depot building was completed June 16, 1855, and on the same day. the proprietors of the town. Caleb J. and Henry G. Little and Clark M. Carr, filed the plat of Neponset for record. The Railroad Company at first thought to name the station Leeponset, as a compliment to the agent. But Mr. Lee suggested Neponset, the name of a place in Massachusetts, which was accepted.

Joseph Lyford and Joseph Howard built stores, and Benj. Drew a hotel. In the Spring of 1855 the Railroad Company built the Elevator, and the main trade commenced. The town now supports fourteen stores, two banks, two hotels, two elevators, eleven shops of various kinds, several stock dealer-, one lumber yard, ! wo secret societies, t wo physicians, four churches, and one graded school.

CHURCHES.

In L841, the M. E. Church organized a class a few miles north of the nl village. The members were John Norton, leader, Sarah, his wife, Norton, George Norton. Mary Hall — now Mrs. Hasard — and two or three others. The meetings were held in this locality for about four years, when thej were changed to Mr. Geo. Norton's house, then a log cabin, one half mile southwest of the town, a more central location. Here they remained until the year L855, when a church was built on the plat "; Neponset. The house is now the parsonage. It was used as a church until L864, when the present house of worship was erected.

HISTORY OF BUREAU COUNTY. 151

The congregation has grown from a small membership to near one hundred and fifteen, with a Sabbath-school of one hundred and fifty. The superintendent is Joseph Bates. The pastor of the church is Rev. J. J. Fleharty.

The Congregationalist Church was organized as early as 1851 or '52, at a place in the south part of the township, called Kentville, since ex- tinct. Soon after Neponset was laid out, the congregation removed their place of preaching to that locality, where they worshiped in the school- house until 1863, when they erected their present church-building. The congregation numbers about sixty members, and a Sabbath-school of near eighty pupils.

The presiding minister at the organization was Rev. Lucius Parker, who was pastor for some time here and at Buda. Rev. C. M. Burns, S. G. Wright, Samuel Ordway, and G. W. Colman have had, at different times, charge. Some of the early members of this congregation were H. G. Wright and wife, C. P. Blake and wife, I. B. Blake, Oren Hasard, Mrs. M. A. Blanchard, Chas. D. Wright and wife, and Miss Rebecca Goodrich. At present the congregation is without a pastor.

The Baptist Church was organized March 2G, 1864. For several years previous this denomination had held meetings in this locality; but not until this time was a church established, when the following persons signed the articles of faith and were admitted as members in full com- munion : C. A. Hewett, J. S. Pashley, J. B. Weed, Levi Lewis, Benj. Bogart, Martha Hewett, A. A. Pashley, Sarah Weed, Julia Shoop, Har- riett Barrett, S. P. Russell, R. M. Russell, and Hester Bogart. Meetings were held in the Congregationalist church, usually, until 1870, when the present brick church was finished, costing $6, 000, the finest building in town. It will seat 300 persons, has a membership of eighty, and a Sabbath-school of near the same number. The superintendent is J. Rus- sell. The pastors of this Church have been Rev. C. A. Hewett, from organization until 1868 ; from that time Rev. E. L. Moore, until 1872. From June, 1873, to June, 1875, the Rev. C. P. Bestor had charge, and in November following the Rev. B. F. Colwell came, who remained one year. The congregation is now without a settled minister.

In 1868 the Second Advent Church was established, with near thirty members. J. S. Heath, Samuel Bectel, Stephen Carpenter, Mr. Guile and Mr. Turner were chosen trustees. Services were held in the old school-house, and in Mr. Norton's granary, which they had repaired and seated. In the latter they remained three months, when their present house of worship >vas built. Elder Heath has been with the congrega- tion, as pastor, since its origin.

THE SCHOOLS.

The following account was furnished by Miss Emma J. Moore, a pupil in the high school :

"The first school, in 1855 and '56, was taught by Julia A. Bigelow, in a house owned by William Bryan. In the Summer she taught where William McFarland now resides. In 1857 Carrie Van Court taught in what is now Geo. Robinson's kitchen. In 1858 the first school-house was built, Miss Van Court remaining teacher. In 1861 this building was sold and removed, and a new one erected, containing two rooms and two

ARLINGTON,

Which received its name from Mr. James Waugh, the first post-master, is in the eastern part of the county, and was laid out in 1853 by Michael Kennedy. The same year Peter Cassadey laid off an addition joining the original plat on the southwest. In 1854 Mr. Gibson put his addition— : the northeast portion — on the market, and shortly after, Mr. Walls, a

The first building erected was a dwelling built on Mr. Wall's addi- tion, followed shortly by a hotel.

J. C. Gibson erected a store about the year 1854. The structure is now occupied as a dwelling-house. The same year Nathan Lincoln built ■ which stood near the present post-office. It was burned in 18C7 or '08. The growth of the town was. during its early existence, good. S. C. Gray built the brick store still used by him; in 1855 the first elevator was constructed, and the following" year a lumber-yard was operated quite successfully by Richard Bye. "John C. Gibson built a small warehouse just west of the railway elevator; other commodities of all kinds being added from time to time. The town and immediate country support now three dry goods stores, two hardware stores, one grocery and drug store, a good number of shops of various kinds, two . two physicians, a good school, and three churches. The popula- tion is about 500.

In 1856 a school was taught in a small frame building, now a part of the dwelling of (). M. Olmstead. The teacher was Miss Caroline Mor- ton, now Mrs. Hush, living ;n New York. School was held in that build- ing until the year 1868, when the present two-story frame edifice was erected. It contains four rooms, and will accommodate over two hundred pupil-. Three of the rooms are now occupied. The average attendance is near eighty, under the superintendency of Prof. William Robinson.

'• >"' earliest church organization in Arlington was that of the Methoisl Episcopal denomination. In 185G Rev". U. P. Golliday preach- ed toasmall class here. The mission was part of a circuit, including Arlington, Maiden, Dover, Lamoille, Sublett and North Prairie. Meet- held at various houses and in the school-house until 18o9, when tie' present church edifice was constructed. Rev. Golliday was followed by Rev. A. S. W. McCausland and P. Lott, who served these charges during the years 1858 ami '.'. During the next two years Rev. W. M. Foreman had charge, and Maiden, Dover, Sublett and North Prairie were parate circuit. In I860 and 'til. Rev. T. C. Young preached at Arlington and Lamoille. Dover and Midden being again "added to Ins circuit.

In 1861-2 and 3, Rev. Lepter Roberts was pastor, when Dover and Maiden were once more stricken off to another circuit, and from that

HISTORY OF BUREAU COUNTY. 153

time until now Arlington and Lamoille have constituted one charge. Rev. T. S. Pomerov was pastor during 1864-5; Rev. E. Smith, in 1806; Rev. William E. Haight during 1867-8 and 9; Rev. J. S. David, 1870-1 and 2 ; Rev. William A. Cross, 1873 and '74, when the present pastor, Rev. R. Congdon, took charge. The memhership is now — including Lamoille — ninety-three ; the Sabbath-school has an attendance of near fifty scholars. The superintendent is Mr. R. B. George.

The Presbyterian Church was organized February 21, 1850. with twenty members. The elders elected at that time were William Morrison and J. S. Carrick.

Divine service was held at first in the old school-house, afterwards in Joseph Vanlan's carpenter shop, until the Fall or Winter following (1859 or '60), when thev erected their present house of worship, at a cost of $4,000.

For six or eight years the congregation grew, after which many of the members moved to other localities and the remainder were not able to keep up the necessary expense. The congregation is now without regular services, the organization being discontinued in 1869.

WYANET

Was laid out in April, 1856, by Henry King, owner of the land. The first house was erected by William Moffatt ; it is now used by J. Peterson as a furniture store. Not long after, F. Crittendon built a store and dwelling combined, which is now the residence of A Hugo. John Stubbs erected a blacksmith shop, and was the first disciple of Vulcan here. About 1858, the Wyanet House was built by F. Crittendon. The town contains nearly one thousand inhabitants, its corporation being one and one-half mile square. There are ten stores, two elevators, one lumber and one coal yard, two saloons, eight shops, two physicians, one school and three churches. The trade is principally grain, although large numbers of cattle and hogs are annually shipped from this station ; a good quality of coal is obtained about three miles west. The first R.R. station was an old box-car. In 1855, the warehouse was erected, and two years later the present depot-building. Mr. William Moffatt, in 1854, shipped the first car of grain from Wyanet. The village was incorporated in 1857. The present town officers are: Andrew Sapp, President; F. A. Robinson, Clerk ; L. F. Houghton, Andrew Wolf, and Isaac Dysinger, Trustees. George Douglass, is Police Magistrate.

SCHOOLS.

As early as 1854, school was taught in a small house in the western part of the village. It was used until the completion of the present school-house, a fine two-story building, in 1867. It will accommodate three hundred pupils aside from the hall; contains four rooms, three of which are now used. The principal is Prof. Dean.

CHURCHES.

The Congregational Society was established here September 27, 1866. There Avere twenty-four persons admitted to membership then, nine of whom are now communicants iu this church. They are E. S.

Until that time this congregation had been a separate charge. It was then united with the church at Providence, Mr. Wilson supplying both places.

The Swedish Lutheran Church was organized in the M. E. Church, February \2, 1875, with about ninety members, the Rev. G. Wikstrant, pastor of the church at Princeton, presiding. Meetingsfor divine service were held in the other churches until .July. 1875, when their own house of worship was enclosed, and services have since been held there. It will cost, when completed, about $2,500. Services are conducted in the Swedish language. The number of members is the same as when

rnzed. The Sabbath-school, under the supeiintemlency of B. S. Streedain, numbers about twenty-five.

The M. E. Church. As early as 1838, a small organization was effected, who worshiped in a small house about two miles northeast of the village site. As time passed on. and the county began to fill with people, organizations were made in other localities more convenient to the resident members. The class grew smaller, and the house becoming old and weat her-worn, the remainder removed their places of divine worship to the old school-house in the village. Several attempts to erect a suitable edifice in which to hold sen ice were made, but not until I860 was this accomplished. It was aided much by Mr. Solomon Sapp, one of the early members. At that time, the membership numbered twenty, which has very materially increased. The pastor at present is the Rev. Yates.

support ceased, and for a few years past it has been discontinued. In 1 876. another story was added for a town hall, and the present principal, Prof, W. J.Cook, assumed control of the school. He is a graduate of the National Normal School of Lebanon, Ohio, and expects to make his school one of the permanent institutions of Bureau County. He has established it as a Normal and Business Institution, to meet the wants of that numerous class of young men and women whose time and means are limited, and who desire the most thoroughly practical education possible in a course of from two to four years. Book-keeping and Commercial Law are also taught ; and diplomas given at the completion of either course, students entering at any time. Prof. Cook, whose portrait is given, has called to his aid an ample corps of competent assistants.

For beauty of location, Dover has no superior in the county. Had the railroad passed through, instead of south of it, it would have been the second town in the county. The greater part of the local trade goes to Maiden, but Dover sustains three dry goods stores, several shops, one drug store, one physician, a district school, and three churches.

SCHOOLS.

Aside from the seminary the town has always sustained a commend- able school. Mrs. Abigail Nichols taught in the first building erected for thai purpose, which stood on the lot near the location of Mr. Steele's store. This small structure was used until the completion of the present more commodious and comfortable house, in which school has been regularly maintained since. The teacher is Miss Emma Harford.

CHURCHES.

The Baptist Church was organized April 28, 1841, at the school- house. The original members were John Durham, Silvester Brigham, George Puffer, Mary Bass, and Lucy Brigham. Elder Headley, from Lamoille (then called Greenfield), presided. Until 1847, they worshiped in the school-house, when they erected their church, and in the year following finished it, having used it one year while in an unfinished state. The first pastor was Elder Solomon Morton, who was succeeded by Elder G. VV. Benton in 1850. His pastorate lasted four years, and was followed by that of Elder Thomas Reese. The next was Rev. F. B. Ives, who remained till 1858, was re-called in 1859, and resigned in April, 1860. Rev. L. L. Lansing was the next. He resigned in April, 1865. Rev. J. C. Berkholder followed, and preached until 1870, when Rev. J. B. Brown succeeded him. He was followed by supplies till 1875, when the present pastor, Elder D. S. Donegan, was called. He has also charge of the Baptist Church in the lower part of Westfield Township, whose history is similar to that of the Dover Church, for many years both being under the care of and supporting one pastor. The membership of each is nearly seventy. Their Sabbath-schools, separately, number about forty pupils.

The M. E. Church was constituted at the house of Dabney Ellis, in 1834, with six members, viz: Dabney Ellis and wife, Peter Ellis and wife, and Joseph Brigham and wife ; of these one, Mrs. D. Ellis, ninety- eight years old, is now living. For seven years meetings were held in private houses, when, in 1841, they erected a frame church. This was

This small structure was used until the completion of the present more commodious and comfortable house, in which school has been regularly maintained since. The teacher is Miss Emma Harford.

CHURCHES.

The Baptist Church was organized April 28, 1841, at the school- house. The original members were John Durham, Silvester Brigham, George Puffer, Mary Bass, and Lucy Brigham. Elder Headley, from Lamoille (then called Greenfield), presided. Until 1817, they worshiped in the school-house, when they erected their church, and in the year following finished it, having used it one year while in an unfinished state. The first pastor was Elder Solomon Morton, who was succeeded by Elder G. W. Benton in 1850. His pastorate lasted four years, and was followed by that of Elder Thomas Reese. The next was Rev. F. B. Ives, who remained till 1858, was re-called in 185!:), and resigned in April, 1860. Rev. L. L. Lansing was the next. He resigned in April, 1865. Rev. J. C. Berkholder followed, and preached until 1870, when Rev. J. B. Brown succeeded him. He was followed by supplies till 1875, when the present pastor, Elder D. S. Donegan, was called. He has also charge of the Baptist Church in the lower part of Westfield Township, whose history is similar to that of the Dover Church, for many years both being under the care of and supporting one pastor. The membership of each is nearly seventy. Their Sabbath-schools, separately, number about forty pupils.

The M. E. Church was constituted at the house of Dabney Ellis, in 1834, with six members, viz: Dabney Ellis and wife, Peter Ellis and wife, and Joseph Brigham and wife ; of these one, Mrs. D. Ellis, ninety- eight years old, is now living. For seven years meetings were held in private houses, when, in 1841, they erected a frame church. This was

itute ■ charge. The church was improved greatly in 1874, about

one thousand dol ars being spent in refitting and repairing it. The con- gregation is self-sustaining, and from a small beginning, forty-six years

lias increased greatly, truly verifying the time-honored adage.

The Congregational Cliurch was organized March 24, 1838. Rev. Lucien Farnham, then of Princeton, was present, and presided at the organization.

Nine persons constituted the original members, who had taken letters from the church at Princeton, for the purpose of forming this church. Their names were as follows: Eli O. Thorp, Lydia Thorp, Lyman Stowell, Amanda Stowell, Sylvester Brigham, Eliza Brig-ham, Joseph II. Brigham, Wealthy Poole, Oramel A. Smith.

The first resident minister of the church was Rev. Asa Donaldson, who commenced his labors among them the year after their organization. From thai time their pulpit has been supplied as follows: Rev. Asa Donaldson, from 1839 to 1846 ; Rev. Ami Nichols, from 1846 to 1849; Rev. Allen Clark, one year, to 1850; Rev. E. G. Smith, from 1850 to 1857; Rev. F. Bascom, from April, 1857 to March, 1864; Rev. S. G. Wright, from LS64 to 1866; Rev. 0. F. Curtis, from 1867 to 1874, when the present pastor, Rev. W. T. Blenkarn, was installed. The deacons were: Sylvester Brigham, elected in 1838; Isaac Delano, in 1840; R. A. Leeper, same year; Geo. Wells, 1845; Ashael Wood, 1848: and T. W. Nichols, in I 85 I. The whole number of members received has been nearly three hundred. For more than ten years the society worshiped in a school-house, and were much incommoded for room. Their present house of worship was completed in 1850, and dedicated on the seventh day of November of that year.

During the years of 1841, 1851, and 1858, they enjoyed great seasons of revival, which added many to their number. There are at present one hundred and twenty-six members, and one hundred and seventeen Sabbath-school scholars.

MALDEN

Is about six miles northeast of Princeton. It was laid out in the year

I 855 by I?. L.Smith. His plat comprised more especially the portion

h of the railway tracks; that on the north being the plat of Enos

Smith and W. C. Stacy, who purchased B. L. Smith's interest. The vil-

was then called Wiona, but the name was shortly changed to secure a post-office. Joseph Hill erected the first store in the town. The build- ing is now used as a residence. The railway company built the elevator in 1854-5, which has led to the shipment of large quantities of grain from this point. Prior to the advent of the railroad, all trade in the imniedi-

icinity of Maiden went to the village of Dover. This was, however, changed, and, at first, it appeared as though this would be the station for the latter place. Yet a town soon appeared. Other stores were built, shops of various kinds were built, school and church privileges were added, and Me \ illage soon became a reality.

After an existence of twenty-one years, Maiden contains two gen-

eral stores, one grocery, one hardware store, one drug store, one harness shop, two blacksmiths* one wagon maker, a barber shop, one lumber yard, the elevator, one physician, a good village school and churches. The population is nearly two hundred.

SCHOOL

was started early in the life of the village. A small house was built for th it purpose in the eastern part of town, and instruction regularly sus- tained until the room becoming too small for the increase in school population, the present school-building was constructed. It provides accommodation for about one hundred pupils, and is well filled under the principalship of D. B. Bailey.

The oldest church in Maiden i> thai of the Congregationalist Society. It was organized March 3, 1857. A meeting had been held at the house of George I. Porter December 15, 1856, "to consider the expediency of an effort to establish divine service on the Sabbath." This meeting was attended by the following persons: Albert Ross, Henry D. Steele, Pascall P. Turner. Orasmus C. Belden, Edward N. Page, and George I. Porter. The result was the organization of the congregation at the time mentioned, when twenty-seven persons united to form this charge, and services were held for the first time ; the place of meeting being the basement of Mr. Benj. Smith's new warehouse. The sermon was preached by Edward Beecher, D.D., of Galesburg. In 1857 Rev. Owen Lovejoy ministered to this church. The congregation numbers 100 members under the pastorage of Rev. W. F. Howie. The Sunday-school has a large attendance.

The M. E. Church was organized here in tin- Summer of 1856, by the pastor. Rev. Forrest. Six persons united. Until the Summer of 1867 they met for divine worship in the school-house. This year they built their present house of worship, 34 by 40 feet, with a corner tower. This structure cost about $6, 000. The congregation has continued to increase in numbers, and since its origin lias never been without a pastor, and at present is connected with the charge at Dover, both being under the ministry of Rev. A. Cross.

MINERAL.

Mr. William Riley, who owned the land now occupied by this village, surveyed the plat in the year 1857. To this, two additions of ten acres each, have been made. Mr. Riley the same year erected a small building, and opened a store. A building for similar purposes was also constructed by a Mr. Lenhart. and at the same time Calvin Cooper built a dwelling. Houses were erected by William Smith, John Reynolds and others.

For some reason, about the year 1859, the village declined. But little trade could be induced to come here, and for four or five years no store was maintained. Edward Hodley and West Meks erected black- smith shops ; Gieason and Cooper, a shoemaker shop ; and two or three carpenters, comprised the tradespeople of Mineral.

In 1SG5 the outlook became better. A store was started by the Philips Brothers, which, in 1868, was purchased by Emmerson, Burnett

i . who remained one year, and sold to M. <!. Brainard and Brother, who remained till 1874, and sold to W. .M. Crandall, who is still in business.

Conibear & Son commem ed business in lstlt;, by keeping a general store. In L872 thej added the lumber trade, which is now controlled by Ahbotl and Scott. The village is supplied with one blacksmith, four carpenters, two general stores, one wagon-shop, one shoemaker, and one hotel. No liquor has been sold in the town for live years. The elevator was built in 1868. The trade (if the town consists in supplying the farm-

community immediately surrounding it. and in shipping their farm products. Coal is obtained in many places near the village, much of it being shipped to Iowa.

- ool was held in William Riley's house at first, there being about fifteen pupils to attend. A small frame building was constructed in 1857, and school held therein until 1 Stj'.t. when the present structure was completed, costing $3,600, and capable of accommodating two hundred scholars. But two rooms are occupied, the attendance being about ninety. The superintendent is It. H. Holroyd.

Tic Free Will Baptist Church was organized in the school-house in 1868. The following persons composed tin- organization: Thomas and Ann Conibear, Joseph and Minerva Johnson, Robert and Manda Price, James De Maranville, and Mrs. C. Oehler. Rev. William Bonar preached i lie organization sermon, and continued pastor until 1870. That year the\ purchased the school-house, and refuting it, made a very comfortable church. Rev. A. F. Taylor was pastor in 1871, Rev. S. J. Mendell 1872, ami Rev. E. E. Tibbott, 1873 and '74. The congregation are now without a minister. They report forty members, with a Sabbath-school of one hundred scholars.

( >n section 22, in tins township, stands the United Brethren Church. It was built for a Union Church in 1870, but the attempt being a failure, it stood uncompleted four years, when it was given to this body. This congregation is very small at present, but five or six members belonging

DP] PUE,

Originally called Trenton. In the Summer of 1835 John Hall built a warehouse, and steamboats commenced running on the small lake on which the village is situated. From there they would go to the Illi- nois river and down to St. Louis. The year following a company was formed and purchased a tract of land of John Clark, and erecting two large warehouses, commenced heavy operations in stock and grain.

For many years a brisk track' was carried on here, many farmers from all pai i- of the country bringing their produce to this place. In 1842 B New,. ll purchased the property, and in April, 1853, laid out the The post-office was then Selby, bul the majority of the letters and packages -cut were directed to Trenton, and would be carried to a town and post-office of that name near the Mississippi River. Much

vexatious delaj would thereby be occasioned, goods often being detained

a week or more before reaching their true destination. This led to a petition asking to change the name of the town and post-office to that of the lake. This was granted, and took effect some ten or twelve years ago.

HISTORY OF BUREAU COUNTY. 159

Trade continued good here until 1860 or '61. Railroads began to ramify the country in all directions, and to carry produce almost as cheaply as the river, and with much more dispatch. Coal was not then mined near De Pue, and had to be transported from Peru. Other causes combined with these aided the decline in trade here, and at the time mentioned it had ceased, save from the immediate vicinity.

The village contains about three hundred people, many of whom engage in fishing on the lake in the Summer, and in packing ice during the Winter. There is one store, two saloons, five shops of all kinds, one elevator, one hotel, one lumber-yard, and a graded school. The trade of the town mainly consists in grain, lumber and ice.

De Pue lake is a most beautiful sheet of clear water, some three miles long, and averaging one half-mile in width. The ice is remark- ably clear, and commands a ready sale throughout the Southern cities wherever it is shipped.

During the Summer months many happy parties of excursionists find amusement on its waters.

It is supposed this sheet of water was discovered by the early French missionaries, and by them given its name.

Early in the life of the village, school was held in an old house of the most primitive pattern, built for that purpose. It was re-fitted and re- paired from time to time, and used until 1874, when it was replaced by the present brick structure, containing two rooms capable of accommo- dating one hundred pupils. Ninety-five are now in attendance. The Principal is W. H. Hill.

The village contains no churches or secret societies.

BUREAU JUNCTION,

A small village containing about two hundred and fifty inhabitants, is

situated at the junction of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific and Bureau Valley Railroads, one hundred and fourteen miles from Chicago. It was laid out by William Shields, owner of the village plat, some years after the completion of the railroad. Several years before this time, Mr. John Leeper had located the village bearing his name, one mile northwest of this point. Here he had built a mill, and, until it was destroyed by fire, a good trade was sustained. But the destruction of the mill frustrated the hopes of the village, and practically ended the town. A few houses now remain — the trade being transferred to the Junction and other towns.

A short time after the plat of Bureau was recorded, James Hender- son opened a store here, and Mr. Shields an eating-house. The present hotel and depot buildings were erected in 1857, by Johnson and Nash. The former now lives in Tiskilwa. the latter in Chicago. Soon after the completion of the railroad in 1853, a round-house was built, capable of holding one engine. It has been enlarged to ten times that capacity. The village contains two general stores, two shoe shops, three saloons, the Junction Hotel, and one school.

For many years the only school in this township was held at Leeper- town. Some eighteen or twenty years ago, the second district was formed, and a brick school was built at Bureau Junction. It. is still used, contains one room, accommodating about eighty pupils. The teacher is E. O. Brown.

160 HISTORY OF BUREAU COUNTY.

No churches are sustained in the village. About three years since,

the Railroad Company, by boring a little over three hundred feet, obtained

■ : supply of water. This artesian well emits a steady stream of

. highlj impregnated with magnesia, iron and sulphur, is very soft,

and after one becomes accustomed to the taste, it is quite pleasant. It is

almost a sure cure for ague and dyspepsia.

VAN ORIN.

The land which this village occupies was, prior to the year 1871, a portion of the farms of Van < > 1 i u Cresap, John Cameron and James Min- erley. These persons laid out the village that year, and induced the

Railroad Company to ereel the sessary depot buildings. V. O. Cresap

and I). Shirk erected a store, and Josiah Henderson and Lou. Criswell dwellings. The school-house from District No. 6, was brought here; also ill,- Lutheran church. During the lew years of the existence of the town, it has gained an existence of two stores, three shops, one tavern, two elevators, one lumber yard, one physician, and contains about fifty inhabitants.

The United Brethren have the only church within the corporate limits of the village. It was organized in i860, with the following members : V. O. Cresap, John and Barbara Keel, Joel Shirk, Elizabeth Williams, Daniel and Maria Shirk, anil Mary Wiley.

The minister was Rev. J. K. M. Lucas. The organization was effected al the school-house in District No. 6, where the meetings were

held until the year 1866, when I he present church edifice was built at a COsI of $2,000. It stood about one-halt' mile northeast of the village Bite. In 1874, it was removed to the town. The membership is now aliout one hundred, under the pastoral care of Rev. Loyd Knight. The Sabbath-school numbers aliout the same, the superintendent of which is V. < >. < Iresap. The following have been the pastors of this Church from its Organization : Rev. J. M. K. Lucas, six months; Rev. Isaac Stearns, same time; Rev. Ezra Palmer, one year: Rev. G. B. Walker, two years; Rev. William Jackson, one year; Rev. R. L. Jameson, two years; Rev. John Dodson, three years: Rev. John Grim, two years; Rev. J. W. Bird, same time: Rev. C. W'ciidal. one year; Rev. Gardner, one year, when tie- present pastor came. The congregation raises annually, for all pur- poses, about $1,000.

The Ciutcr M. E. Church is located one mile northeast of Van Orin. Tibs and the North Prairie Church, about five miles southwest, comprise one charge. This latter church was organized in 1850. Some of its early members were George and Rebecca Hammer, William and Uphia Garton, Campbell and Mary Masters, George and Elizabeth Stephenson, and Mrs. Elizabeth Calico. The meetings were held alternately in the

es of George Hammer and William Garton, till the year 18">:i, when they were transferred to the school-house in that locality. They con- tinued to meet at this place live years, when they built their present house ot worship, costing $4,000. The membership is now about seventy, with a Sunday-school nearly as large. The pastor is Rev. M. R. Averill.

The Center Church was organized about the year 1866, or 1867. Before this time, a class had been meeting at various houses and in the

HISTORY OF BUREAU COUNTY. 161

school-house adjoining the village. The prominent members were : James Minerley and wife, and Charles Palmer and wife.

This church building cost nearly $4,000, and was built when the membership was only about twenty-five. These have been materially increased. The Church is connected Avith the North Prairie charge— both under the pastorate of Rev. M. R. Averill.

LIMERICK.

This is a small village in the north part of Dover Township. It was laid out on the farm of George Limerick, the founder of the town, from whom it takes its name, in the year 1857. The Methodists had a society in this portion of the township, and erected a church at the same time, and a short time previous a church-yard had been designated a little south of the village plat. Mr. Limerick thought a town could be sustained here, and made considerable effort to build one up. He erected a store, and William Townsend and Levi Hansel put up blacksmith shops. Some twenty or thirty dwellings have been built, and are now occupied. School has always been held in the district school-house, situated nearly a mile south of the village. The trade of the town consists in one store, one shoe shop, and one blacksmith shop. One physician resides here. The proximity of Princeton on the south, and Ohio village on the north, each on the railroad, deprives it of all advantageous trade.

The M. E. Church has a good society here. It is connected with the charge at Ohio, four and a half miles distant.

PROVIDENCE.

This is a small village in Indiantown, containing about one hundred inhabitants. It was laid out in July, 1836, by a colony from Rhode Island, the principal men of which were Asa Barney, Leonard Scott, S. G. Wilson, Edward Bailey, Caleb dishing, and Ilosea Barney. The two latter are all remaining of the original colony. The village contains hut two or three stores, a few shops, and one or two mechanics. The school has been maintained since the origin of the village; the building is also used for church purposes. The Episcopal Church sustained an organization for some time here, an account of which is given in the sketch of the church at Tiskilwa.

THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

was organized June 22, 1841, with fifteen members. During its existence there have been one hundred and forty- four members received into its fold. It now numbers thirtj'-five. There have been eight pastors here ; the longest term of service being that of Rev. D. Todd, who for a quarter of a century labored for this charge. They now occupy their second house of worship, which was dedicated October 23, 1870. The congregation is under the ministerial care of Rev. Henry Wilson, who is also pastor at Wyanet.

BOURBONNAIS,

a small place on the C.B. & Q.R.R., below Wyanet, was laid out by John Robinson in July, 1864. It is located in Bourbounais' Grove, where there

During Mr. Holloway's time there was considerable trade here, which has since declined.

NEW BEDFORD

was platted by Jacob Galer, June 30, 1835. It is a small town remote from the railroad, and consequently can not hope to grow to any size. It rum;, in, i w.i or three stores, a few shops, a school, and two churches.

The M. E. Church was organized in 1860 with a few members. It has increased somewhat, and is now in a creditable condition.

POND CREEK STATION.

There is no village here, as the land will not permit of a town plat. Ii is situated in tin- valley..!' Pond Creek, which is very narrow with high banks on either side. Aside from a small depot-building, a few houses and a mill are built here, the place only heint; used to ship produce.

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS OF BUREAU COUNTY.*

Aside from the various religious and educational societies already mentioned in the sketches of the villages, the country is well represented. Scattered throughout the county are many churches, while school-houses are in every locality. There are twelve or fifteen country churches, many of which have been mentioned in connection with the villages nearest them.,

A German Lutheran Church was organized at Red Oak Grove, in Walnut Township, in 1855. Like all others, its membership at first was small, but has increased to one hundred and thirty-two. During its time it has had thirteen pastors. The church was erected in 1862 at an expense of $1,100. The present pastor is Rev. Martin Elder.

The Bunker Hill Church was organized in 1856, and three years later erected their church. During this time they worshiped in the Bunker Hill School-house. The original members were Mr. and Mrs. Berkstresser, Elizabeth Berkstresser, John, Catharine and Elizabeth Carper, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Celover, Mrs. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Longnecker, and Mrs. David Fisher. The church cost $2,200, and is a commodious, comfortable house.

For some years the growth of the congregation was prosperous, but deaths and removals have tended to diminish the number, until now about sixty remain.

The Mount Pleasant M. E. Church was erected in 1866, the same year of its organization. About twenty persons united, which number has increased three-fold. The pastor is Rev. B. C. Kaufman.

The Presbyterian Church in Maiden was organized September 19, 1857, by a committee from the Rock River Presbytery, consisting o the Rev. J. C. Barr, and Rev. Josiali Milligan. Fourteen persons united, and James Mclntyre and Samuel Corbett were chosen elders. In 1858 they erected their first house of worship, which was used until 1866, when the present edifice was built ; the former cost $1,500 ; the latter $7,000. The congregation has raised for all purposes, since the building of the first church, nearly $23,000; has added one hundred and seventy- nine members to the original fourteen, and has baptized ninety-seventy persons.

The membership is now small, and at present do not sustain regular preaching.

1T1 BELIGI0U8 AND EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS.

I'.i REAi M. E. Church was organized in L832, near where Mr. Solomon Sapp then lived. It. was the germ of the Wyanet Church.

At that time there were nineteen members, some of whom went afterwards to the Wyanet Church, removed to other localities, and others have since died, so that but few of these now remain. They have worshiped for many years in the Newton's School-house ; have now a membership of nearly forty, and a Sunday-school of about fifty pupils. The pastor is Rev. Minty.

The Wesleyan Methodist Church was organized in 1843, in a

il-house in Bureau Township, where they met until the building of their church. In 1843 they enrolled sixteen members; now there are eighty-four, with a Sunday-school of sixty scholars. The pastor is Rev. R

The North Prairie Baptist Church was organized in 1859, in the Holliday School-house, in Dover Township, with about twenty mem- bers. Tln-v continued to worship here and in private houses until 1865, when thi ed a church which cost $1,200. Until the year 1870

their growth was rapid, and readied a maximum of one hundred and sixty-two. Since then, owing to removals, deaths, and other causes, the number is now only sixty. The ministers have been Revs. J. G. Johnson, S. Holroyd, J. Wilder, J. D. Pulis, H. C. First, and J. B. Brown. At

;it a regular minister is not sustained.

There are a feu oilier small organizations whose history, owing to a lack of records and other causes, we have been unable to obtain. They are, however, mentioned.

Tut; Common Schools.

During the winter of 1833-4, Elijah Smith taught the pioneer school of Bureau County. This same winter a school-house was erected on what is now the farm of Mr. Henry 1'addock. This was the first school-house in the county.

orl time after, the basement of the Hampshire Colony Church was used, and in it was held the first graded school. It could hardly be called that, yet it was a step higher than the common district school.

from these small beginnings, it is diflieull to realize the change and improvement ih.it have been made.

Bureau County now contains two hundred and twenty-one common

district schools, whose average daily attendance is a little over forty

uearlynine thousand in all. These require the services of nearly

three hundred teachers, whose average monthly wages are 143.60 each,

or an annual .1 gre ale of $21, 800.36.

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS. 175

But few poor houses will be found ; nearly all are comfortable frame structures, in many of which are the improved seats, and furnished with all modern improvements and conveniences. The total value of school property is $323,586.

There are thirteen graded schools whose attendance will aggregate about three thousand. In these nearly forty teachers are employed, whose yearly salaries amount to $12,000, exclusive of the Princeton High School.

The effect of all this expenditure is to provide a better class of houses, more efficient teachers, and a corresponding degree of intelli- gence, advancement and wealth among the citizens of the county.

To illustrate the degree of interest taken in the schools by the citi- zens, the following is appended :

At the last meeting of the officers of the Bureau County Agricul- tural Society, it was voted to offer the sum of $G0 in premiums for an educational exhibit, to be made at the next' county fair. Mr. Jacob Miller, the present efficient County Superintendent, Prof. H. L. Boltwood, Mr. S. G. Paddock, were appointed to prepare a premium list, which is presented here. The Princeton High School is excluded from competi- tion for any of the prizes offered to schools as a whole. Its pupils may, however, compete for any of the individual prizes.

School Prizes. — For the best general exhibit from any graded school,

$10.00.

For the best general exhibit from any non-graded school, $10.00.

For the best exhibit of maps, drawn by pupils from any graded school, $5.00.

For the best exhibit of maps, drawn by pupils from any non-graded school, $5.00.

Best exhibit of penmanship from any graded school, $3.00.

Best exhibit of penmanship from any non-graded school, $3.00.

Best collection of woods, plants and shells of Bureau county, $5.00.

Individual Prizes. — Best map in each prize collection, $2.00.

Best penmanship in each prize collection, $1.00.

Best plan or drawing of school-house occupied by the pupil, $1.00.

Best design for a country school-house, furnished with forty-eight single desks, designed by any pupil, $1.00.

Best programme for a non-graded school, from any pupil, $2.00.

The society also offers premiums for best collection of insects, ferns, birds, minerals of Bureau County, and a prize for pencil-drawing. These are all in some degree in this same direction, and will use the remaining $6.00.

FERRIS 15. S. was born October 1, 1831, at Ferrisburg, Vermont. He graduated at the old \ demy, then under the principalship of B. 1! Allen. A.M. After spending four years on his father's [arm, he concluded that the " Gnat West" offered a broader and more congenial field of labor for young men. He came to Princeton in the Spring of 1855, purchased and improved over two thousand acres of land near the village of Providence. In 1857, he engaged in the Real Estate business, locating, buying and selling lands in Illinois, Minnesota and Missouri, in connection with Insurance, which he conducted until the Spring of iSOt. He then entered into private banking with his brother, under the firm name of B. S. Ferris' iV Co. In 1863, he started a private bank in the north part of town, under the name of Ferris Brothers, which was changed in 1874 to the Farmers' National Bank. They controlled this institution until 1S76. In 1865, the bank, under the control of B. S. Ferris & Co. was changed to the First National Bank of Princeton, Mr. Ferris President; this position he still holds. In 1867, they erected a fine brick building on Main Street. The capital stock is $105,000, surplus $25,000. Mr. Ferris, April 4, 1871, was married to Miss Lizzie M. Baxter, of Castleton, Vermont. He has always been an earnest Republican, contributing liberally of his ample means during the late war. He brought from his New England home habit-, of temperance and industry, which have always been prominent traits in his character. I 1 years, Mr. Ferris has been a member in good standing in the Masonic and Odd Fellows Lodges.

WHITING LORENZO l>. by occupation a Farmer; lives on Sec. 14, in the township

land, worth $50 per acre; his home is somewhat known as r\." Republican in politics, and " Liberal" in religion. He was born Nov. 17, [819, on a farm among the hills ol Arcadia, Wayne Co. N. V., and received a good English and mathematical education al Lima Seminary, lie removed with his father's family to \ ... \ ork, in 1S33. In 1838 he was sent on business to Illinois, where he ri years, traveling nearly over the entire state in its then primitive condition.

lie returned to New York, and was married in 1846 to Miss Lucretia C. Clement, of i.i 1 "., .1 young lady of much ability and ambition; and who proved a worthy help- ol life. •

In his boyhood, Mr. Whiting served as clerk ami book-keeper in a village store, and while nan taught successfully many terms of school, and before leaving his native state Mi. ; of Justice of the Peace and Superintendent of Schools. But having a lllture and rural life, he removed to Illinois in 1S49, and soon

u the farm where he now resides, one mile west of Tiskilwa. This place he calls I Run." from the rocks along the little stream which meanders through the valley. this farm are beautiful natural grove . drives, walks, and many points of interest to the 1 nature; and these, quite as much as the intrinsic value, induced its purchase in H hi isively Supervisor of his town, and during these

active part in the great enterprise of draining the Winnebago Swamps, active pan in the Vnti-Monopoly and Fanner's movement, being the tempo- rary and making, by appointment, the opening address at their tir-t State Conven- 11. in [anuary, IS73; but he refused to go with it into a new political party, n with the Republicans. — a party he helped to form, and had always warmly !| rilh many conventions in the cause of cheap transportation, 1 the Wintei 1 1^67 and '68 was sent by the Board of Supervisors to labor with the nbly in behalf of this interest. In 1S68 he was elected a Representative in the ' ral A embly; was made Chairman of the Canal and River Committee, and 11 h. v. 111 improvements of Illinois, published in the volume ir thit cssion Fhis wa rei 'ived with so much favor, that 5,000 copies were 11 11 d r ;ecured the long-sought inauguration of the work of ie llliii' River ippropriation of $400,000 for a lock and dam at the city • ii I [em j 1 n 1 869 he was elected a member of the Constitutional Convention, which framed 1 litution. In this body he was the Inst to move by resolution, and by which was extensively published, to declare railroads " public corporations," sub- gulated and controlled by the law-making power, which provision was finally n the new Constitution. Under the new Constitution, Mr. Whiting has been lively elected to the Slate Senate, of which body he is now a member. In ody he has taken a leading part in all matters connected with cheap transportation, g the measures for canal and river improvement, and the regulation and control of

BUREAU COUNTY: INDIANTOWN TOWNSHIP. 261

railroads. He has also been active in all matters bearing upon education and temperance, and in such measures as relate to rural affairs.

During the darkest period of the war for secession, and embracing an exciting political canvass, at the solicitation of political friends, he edited for a year the Bureau County Repub- lican. Mr. Whiting takes a lively interest in local improvements. He was the projector of Mount Bloom Cemetery, and was President of the Association for many years. He led in the movement for building the Tiskilvva school-house, the most beautiful building of its kind in the county, and among the very best in the state; in locating and securing the grounds, planning the general features of the building, getting passed a special law to enable the dis- trict to levy sufficient tax to pay the debt, obtaining the loans for its erection, and was one of the Directors during its construction, and first inauguration of the school.

Mr. Whiting, having lost by death his estimable wife, was married Dec. 3, 1873, to Miss Eriphyle St. J. Robinson, daughter of the late Dr. Robinson, of New York city— honorary member of the New York Historical Society. She was tenderly reared, and carefully and accurately educated. She inherited a clear intellect and a love of art, which has been culti- vated; and from her mother, who was an amiable and highly accomplished lady of French extraction, she inherits, and was ttained in tact and grace, which fit her for a sphere very different from her present surroundings; but as she is also highly practical, she makes the best of her fortune, and seems to enjoy and make herself quite indispensible as mistress of a farmer's household.

Mr. Whiting has three living children: Emily Lilian, Clement Adelbert, and Herbert Lamont. The daughter, Lilian, has developed a strong love and considerable talent for literature; has already written much of prose and poetry, and is now connected with journal- ism in St. Louis.

The boys are juniors working on the farm, and will probably follow their father in this occupation.

Mr. Whiting having, what may be truly said, a well-balanced mind, and being perfectly temperate in all his habits — though not insisting on extremes — possesses vigorous health, and is generally judged many years younger. His foresight in all transactions, and wonder- ful memory, with perfect control, give him power in all proceedings. His strength lies in his clear understanding and forcible statement, as he never undertakes a question with ut understanding it. Hope is a prominent feature in Mr. Whiting's character, as in his philos- ophy he believes "all evils have their remedies," and for that remedy he actively seeks. In his simplicity of heart he bears no malice, and is willing to shake hands over any chasm.
