STORY OF McLEAN COUNTY
STORY OF McLEAN COUNTY, ILLINOIS
Largest of Illinois counties in point of land area, McLean County, located in
almost the center of the state, is equally of note as a leading agricultural, manu-
facturing and educational locality and as the "home grounds" of an unusually large
number of prominent Americans of both the past and present. Situated midway be-
tween Chicago and St. Louis and traversed by US 66, main highway of the state,
McLean County contains two of the Prairie State's most renowned institutions of
higher learning, Illinois State Normal University and Illinois Wesleyan University.
One of the most distinguished Americans of today was reared and educated
in the county's principal city and seat of justice, Bloomington. He is Adlai E.
Stevenson. A former governor of Illinois, Stevenson, as all the world knows, was
the Democratic candidate for President of the United States in 1952. Not so well
known, however, is the fact that his grandfather, Adlai E. Stevenson I, was not
only a pioneer Bloomington lawyer but an Illinois congressman, an Assistant Post-
master General and Vice-President of the United States during the second admini-
stration of President Cleveland.
Another kinsman of the 1952 presidential candidate, his father, Lewis Green
Stevenson, was also an important public figure, having served as Secretary of State
for Illinois during World War I. Still another kinsman, his maternal great-grandfather,
Jesse W. Fell, is outstanding in history as a founder of numerous central Illinois
towns (including Normal), as Bloomington's first lawyer and first newspaper pub-
lisher and as one of the three McLean County men who had most to do with bringing
about the nomination of Abraham Lincoln as a presidential candidate in I860.
The other two men of this historic triumvirate were David Davis and Leonard
Swett, both pioneer Bloomington lawyers. Davis subsequently became judge of the
famous Eighth Judicial Circuit in Illinois — a circuit in which Abraham Lincoln,
Stephen A. Douglas, Leonard Swett and other celebrated lawyers of the day trav-
eled. And it was the "three musketeers," as Davis, Fell and Swett were often
called, who frequently brought Lincoln to Bloomington, the most memorable visit
of which was the day in 1856 when he delivered his famous "Lost Speech" in
Major's Hall. In this hall, on that day, the Republican party was first organized in
Illinois.
In the years since then, Bloomington produced numerous other political fig-
ures of note besides members of the Stevenson family. Among the most famous of
these was Joseph W. Fifer, elected Governor of Illinois in 1889 and who, during
the gubernatorial nominating campaign, became known throughout the nation as
"Private Joe" Fifer (most of his opponents were Civil War generals). Another was
John M. Hamilton, who also was a Governor of Illinois, having been elected to that
office in 1883-
But McLean County has produced, and continues to produce, many other cele-
brated Americans besides political leaders. In this county, for example, were born
and reared Elbert Hubbard, famous author, editor, philosopher and master crafts-
man; Melville E. Stone, one of the founders of the Chicago Daily News and "father"
of the Associated Press; Richard Hovey, popular poet of an earlier day; and Mar-
garet Illington, an actress of international renown. Today, McLean County is the
home of three distinguished educators with national reputations, one of them being
President Raymond Fairchild of Illinois State Normal University. The other two are
Chris A. De Young and Robert H. Moore, also of the Illinois State Normal Uni-
versity.
Not least interesting about McLean County, too, is that its principal city has
long been the locale of the American Passion Play, staged each year in the Scot-
tish Rite Temple. Also of interest is the fact that Bloomington had an almost
nationwide reputation in the late 1880's, due to the extensive circulation of Wake-
field's Almanac, a publication issued by a local patent medicine manufacturer.
More recently, Bloomington became the winter quarters of some of the most famous
circus trapeze artists in America. Among these were the Flying La Vans and the
Flying Concellos.
INDIAN OCCUPATION
When the first permanent settlers came to the region of present-day McLean
County in the spring of 1822, they found it occupied by a few scattered bands of
the Kickapoo and Pottawatomie tribes of Indians. Although at first the local chief
of these tribes, Ma-Shee-Na, objected to the coming of the white men, he finally
relented and both he and his tribesmen became friendly with the new palefaces in
their midst. One of the principal Indian villages then was at Old Town Timber, in
present-day Old Town Township; another was at Pleasant Hill, in present Lexing-
ton Township.
During the summer months, however, the Indians of these villages liked to
foregather among the trees of what was later called Blooming Grove— a wooded rise
of ground in the center of today's McLean County. This gentle hill is now the site
of Bloomington city. As a matter of fact, Blooming Grove, in earliest times, was
the focal point of a number of Indian trails; a kind of resting-place on the route
between the Wabash River and the Illinois River.
KEG GROVE
If Blooming Grove was an attractive name for the wooded rise of ground in
the center of the region, it was not so known when the first permanent settlers ar-
rived hereabouts. They learned that, among the early trappers and traders who oc-
casionally passed through the area, it was known as Keg Hill. It derived this name
from the legend of a party of trappers who one day cached a keg of liquor at the
site— a buried treasure that was afterwards found by some Kickapoos, who immedi-
ately staged a celebration. Thus the tract came to be known as Keg Grove, a name
that remained until Mrs. William Orendorff, wife of an early settler, suggested it be
changed to Blooming Grove because of the profusion of flowers on the site.
FIRST SETTLERS
Accepted as the first permanent settlers of present-day McLean County are
John Hendrix and John W. Dawson, both of who came with their families in the
spring of 1822 and staked out claims near the east end of what later came to be
known as Blooming Grove. Some local historians, however, claim that John Hendrix
should have the title of first settler exclusively for himself, stating that he arrived
a few weeks earlier than John W. Dawson. Both the Hendrix and Dawson families
came from Sangamon County.
At that time, of course, there was no McLean County; most of its present area
was in Fayette County, which then was much larger than it is today. We are told
that the first white female child born in the region that now is McLean County was
Elizabeth Ann Hendrix, whose birth occurred in the Hendrix log cabin on May 3,
1823- The first school was taught in the Dawson cabin in that same year, the
teacher having been Miss Delila Mullen.
EARLY ARRIVALS
One year after Hendrix and Dawson arrived, they were joined at Blooming
Grove by William and Thomas Orendorff, brothers, both of whom later played im-
portant parts in the early history of McLean County. A little later in 1823 there
came to the same place John Benson and his two sons, James and William — a family
that afterwards moved to White Oak Township.
In 1823, furthermore, came Gardner Randolph, said to have been a second
cousin of John Randolph of Roanoke. Instead of building a cabin at Blooming
Grove, however, Randolph settled at a grove just to the southward, and this became
known as Randolph's Grove (it was in the vicinity of the present hamlet of Ran-
dolph). With Gardner Randolph when he first came here was his brother-in-law,
Alfred M. Stringfield. A year later two others arrived at Randolph's Grove— James
Burleson and Thomas O. Rutledge.
In 1824 a new settlement was started, Funk's Grove. It was founded by Isaac
Funk, afterwards to become a prominent state senator. With Isaac Funk when he
arrived was his" brother, Absalom; his brother-in-law, Robert Stubblefield; and his
close friend, William Brock. Still in existence today is the hamlet of Funk's Grove,
with a present population of twenty-five.
In 1824, too, several newcomers arrived near the Hendrix and Dawson cabins
at Blooming Grove— now Bloomington city. The best-known of these was the Rev-
erend Ebenezer Rhodes, first minister on the site of Bloomington. He had earlier
been ordained into the Separate Baptists. With him were his two sons, John and
Jeremiah. Others who came to Blooming Grove that same year were William Walker,
William R. Goodheart and William H. Hodge.
PART OF FAYETTE COUNTY
As we have seen, when the first permanent settlers came to the region of
present McLean County in 1822, there was no such county and the area they occu-
pied was part of Fayette County. We have noted, also, that they first took root at a
wooded tract called Keg Grove, a name which the settlers disliked and which they
soon afterwards changed to the more appealing Blooming Grove (now Bloomington).
In regard to this change of name, a Bloomington citizen many years later voiced
due approval by saying: "Suppose Keg Grove had become transformed into Keg
Town. How do you suppose Joe Fifer could have ever been elected governor of
this State? Or how could Adlai Stevenson, of Keg Town, have been chosen Vice-
President of the United States?"
In Professor Merriman's historical narrative of the county, we find these
words: "During the period that elapsed between 1822 to 1827, Fayette County had
jurisdiction over all the territory now within the present limits of McLean County,
and on as far north as the Illinois River. Vandalia, the county seat, was over one
hundred miles distant. Blooming Grove could exert but little influence in so large
a district, and its inhabitants urged the formation of a new county. For many years,
the only official in all this region was Mr. William Orendorff, who was commissioned
in 1825, by Gov. Coles, as a Justice of the Peace of Fayette County. His juris-
diction extended almost indefinitely toward Wisconsin."
It is to be remembered, of course, that at this time there were very few settlers
in central and northern Illinois, and counties of the period were vast in extent and
mostly prairie or wilderness areas. When the McLean countryside was part of Fay-
ette County, that county's seat, Vandalia, located 125 miles south of Blooming
Grove, was also the capital of Illinois, a position it held until Springfield became
the capital in 1837.
As more and more settlers came to Blooming Grove in the middle 1820's,
there soon were enough to form it, and the country roundabout, into an election
precinct. This was ordered by the Fayette County commissioners in 1826 and the
new voting area was called the "Orendorff Precinct." It was ordered further that
the polling place was to be at the home of William Orendorff. In addition to Oren-
dorff, the other two judges of election named for the new precinct were James Latta
and John Benson — all three of whom were among the earliest settlers of future
McLean County. Two other early settlers, William H. Hodge and William See, were
named clerks of election.
In the meantime, one of the Fayette County commissioners, James Allin, was
observing with more than usual interest the steady growth of population in and
about Blooming Grove. As it afterwards developed, James Allin became the founder
of Bloomington, a town he laid out just north of Blooming Grove.
PART OF TAZEWELL COUNTY
When Tazewell County was organized in 1827, it acquired a large portion of
the upper part of Fayette County— a portion out of which was later carved McLean
County. Thus it happened that some of the earliest settlers of McLean County
were elected to public office in newly-formed Tazewell County. As a matter of
fact, the first meeting of the Tazewell County commissioners was held in the log
cabin home of William Orendorff at Blooming Grove.
One of the three Tazewell County commissioners then was James Latta, who
later helped to organize McLean County. Other Blooming Grove settlers who were
elected to Tazewell County public offices were Thomas Orendorff, coroner; John
Benson, treasurer; and William H. Hodge, sheriff. The second meeting of the Taze-
well County commissioners was held at the home of Ephraim Stout, at Stout's
Grove, which now is in McLean County.
FOUNDING OF McLEAN COUNTY
By the year 1830 there were enough settlers at Blooming Grove, Funk's
Grove, Randolph's Grove and other early communities of the area to justify the
formation of a new county. A movement was soon started with that object in view,
meetings were held, petitions were circulated, and in time James Latta and Thomas
Orendorff were on their way to the Illinois state legislature at Vandalia. In their
saddlebags were the petitions of their neighbors asking for the formation of a new
county.
It seems the state legislature was quick to grant the "prayer" of the peti-
tioners. A bill authorizing the new county was passed by the lower house of the
legislature in the morning, and by the upper house in the afternoon of the same
day. When this bill was signed by Governor John Reynolds, there was born McLean
County. By an interesting coincidence, the natal day of the county is the same as
the traditional natal day of Jesus Christ— December 25th. The law creating McLean
County was signed by Governor Reynolds on December 25, 1830.
Among other early settlers who were active in helping to organize the new
county were Thomas Orendorff's older brother, William; John Benson, who had
earlier been treasurer of Tazewell County; and William H. Hodge, subsequently to
become the first teacher in the new town of Bloomington. Perhaps more active than
any of these, however, was James Allin, the former Fayette County commissioner.
Seeing the future possibilities of the Blooming Grove neighborhood, he had moved
northward to it in 1829 and opened a general store.
Professor Merriman, in his historical narrative, has this to say regarding
James Allin: "During the following session of the Legislature, Mr. Thomas Oren-
dorff and Rev. James Latta went to Vandalia with a petition for a new county.
Before they started, Mr. Allin rendered them valuable assistance by suggestions
as to how they should operate for the passage of the bill for the new county. He
had lived several years at the capital, and understood how these matters were
managed in legislative halls. When the act passed, it named three men to locate
the county seat, who were the parties Mr. Allin desired; and when they met here
they approved of the site, and reported in favor of locating the county seat 'at the
north side of the Blooming Grove.' "
JOHN McLEAN
When McLean County was given a name, it honored the memory of John Mc-
Lean, a prominent personage of early Illinois history. In the beginning a pioneer
Illinois lawyer, John McLean later became a judge during territorial days. When
Illinois was admitted to statehood in 1818, he was elected the new state's first
representative to Congress. Then, in 1824, he was elected to the United States
Senate from Illinois. Senator John McLean died in 1830 — the same year in which
McLean County was organized.
BLOOMINGTON IS BORN
In another part of his historical account, Professor Merriman states: "Mr.
James Allin had opened his store at his new location in 1829, and made a purchase
of land where the city of Bloomington now stands. Before the law organizing Mc-
Lean County was passed, Mr. Allin formed his plans to secure the county seat,
though we cannot say just how much mention he made of his designs."
In any case, James Allin was in possession of 160 acres of land "at the
north side of the Blooming Grove" when the county was organized on December 25,
1830. After the three legislative site commissioners selected the Allin tract as the
location for the new county's seat of justice, James Allin immediately proceeded
to lay out a town, lots were sold on July 4, 1831, and thus was born the present
city of Bloomington.
Again referring to the Merriman county history, we find these words: "Mr.
James Allin donated twenty-two and one-half acres of land, to be divided into lots
and sold for the benefit of McLean County. Of course he owned land adjoining that
would be advanced in value, and he also intended to go on with his store and gen-
eral business. In advancing his own interests he also benefited the public, and he
has always justly taken rank as a benefactor of the community, having been very
popular to the day of his death."
The Merriman account continues: "Mr. Allin was a far-seeing, shrewd busi-
ness man, and was, in fact, a model speculator. He selected the prettiest location
for a town that could possibly be found in the county. Blooming Grove and the prai-
rie were adjoining each other; his donated land, or the 'original town,' was just on
the northern edge of the grove, bounded by North, East and West streets, with Front
Street on its southern border."
FIRST COUNTY OFFICERS
After the ballots were counted at McLean County's first election in March,
1831> it was found that the following had been elected the county's first commis-
sioners: Jonathan Cheney (of Cheney's Grove), Timothy B. Hoblitt (of Big Grove),
and Jesse Havens (of Haven's Grove). Elected to the office of county treasurer
was Thomas Orendorff. It was not until a year later that Thomas Cheney was
elected the county's first sheriff and collector.
At its first official meeting, held in the home of James Allin at the new town
of Bloomington, the Board of County Commissioners appointed James Latta as
commissioner of school lands, Dr. Isaac Baker as county surveyor, and Samuel
Durley as assessor and recorder. It was not until 1836 that Elijah Rockhold was
elected the county's first coroner.
BLACK HAWK WAR
The new county of McLean had no sooner settled down to business when the
Black Hawk War opened in 1832 and caused great alarm among the early settlers
of the county. A militia company of mounted volunteers was immediately formed in
McLean County with Meritt L. Covell as captain, Asahel Gridley as first lieuten-
ant, and Moses Baldwin as second lieutenant. This company soon afterwards took
part in the Battle of Stillman's Run, near Dixon, Illinois.
Writing of the battle afterwards, Asahel Gridley (later a prominent Blooming-
ton banker) said: "The men were very anxious to go and clean out the Indians, and
not wait for the regulars. So we went on and came up with the Indians, six or seven
hundred strong, a little way on the other side of what is now called Stillman's Run.
I cannot say much about the fight but this— that we got most beautifully whipped
by the Indians. However, we only lost one man from this county and his name was
Joseph Draper . . . Soon after the battle, we were sent back to this county and
mustered out of service."
JESSE FELL ARRIVES
Just after the close of the Black Hawk War of 1832 there came to the new coun-
ty seat town of Bloomington a young lawyer who was destined to play an important
role in the later history of McLean County. This young man was Jesse W. Fell,
who not only became Bloomington's first professional lawyer, first newspaper pub-
lisher and founder of the town of Normal, but who also became the maternal great-
grandfather of Adlai E. Stevenson II, candidate for President of the United States
in 1952. Not least interesting about Jesse Fell, also, is that he and two other
8
Bloomington lawyers, David Davis and Leonard Swett, had most to do with bringing
about the nomination of Abraham Lincoln as a presidential candidate in 1860.
FIRST COURTHOUSE
It was just after the Black Hawk War, also, that McLean County built its first
courthouse in Bloomington. It was completed in December, 1832, the contract for
building it having been let to Asahel Gridley, later to become a leading Blooming-
ton banker. The cost of the structure was 1339.75- It was described as being one
story high, eighteen by thirty feet in size, and "finished off in the then prevailing
style." About the same time, William Dimmitt built a jail for the county at a cost
of $321.
The county's first courthouse, however, was only used until 1836 when it
was replaced by a two-story brick edifice which cost about $6,000 to build. This
second courthouse remained standing until 1868 at which time a third courthouse
was erected— a much larger, and more ornate, edifice than the previous one and
costing about $400,000 to build. It served the county until the great Bloomington
fire of 1900 when it and many other downtown buildings were destroyed. Soon
thereafter, the county's fourth, and present, courthouse was completed.
BLOOMINGTON PANTAGRAPH
One of the oldest, and one of the most richly historical, newspapers in Illinois
today is the Bloomington Pantagraph. Although on record as having been founded
in 1846, the Bloomington Pantagraph (meaning "Write everything") is actually an
outgrowth of The Bloomington Observer and McLean County Advocate, first news-
paper in the county. The Observer was established in 1837 by Jesse Fell, who had
as his associates James Allin and Asahel Gridley.
In the early 1850's Jesse Fell sold his newspaper to Charles P. Merriman,
who changed its name to the Bloomington Pantagraph (Merriman afterwards wrote
the best and most comprehensive history of McLean County). A supporter of Abra-
ham Lincoln from almost the beginning of his public career, the Pantagraph was
the first newspaper in America to offer his name as a presidential possibility.
After the Civil War, the Pantagraph was acquired by William O. Davis, son-in-
law of Jesse Fell. One of the Davis daughters, Helen, later married Lewis Green
Stevenson, son of Adlai E. Stevenson I. And thus it was that Adlai E.Stevenson II,
candidate for President in 1952, became a part owner, by inheritance, of the Bloom-
ington Pantagraph. In his younger years, the presidential candidate served as as-
sistant managing editor of the Pantagraph. Today, the Pantagraph has a daily cir-
culation of nearly 38,000 and is published by Loring C. Merwin, cousin of Adlai
Stevenson II.
MEXICAN WAR
At the outbreak of the Mexican War in 1846, a company of volunteers was
organized in McLean County and this became Company B of the 4th Regiment of
Illinois Volunteers. The regiment was commanded by Colonel Edward D. Baker, of
Springfield, who afterwards became a celebrated orator and United States senator
and who was killed in the Civil War. Serving under Baker in the Mexican campaign
was Lieutenant Colonel John Moore, of McLean County, who also achieved later
fame, both as state treasurer of Illinois and lieutenant governor of the state.
In direct command of the McLean County volunteers were Dr. J. Elkin, cap-
tain; James Withers, first lieutenant; and William Duncan, second lieutenant. The
McLean company took part in the battles at Vera Cruz and Cerro Gordo. Only two
deaths, however, occurred in the company— Andrew Hodge and John Misner. After
the two battles mentioned, the McLean volunteers returned to Illinois and were
mustered out of service.
ILLINOIS WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY
It was in 1853 that Illinois Wesleyan University, located in Bloomington and
now a leading Illinois institution of higher learning, received its charter from the
state legislature. Although supported by the Illinois Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, the university is non-denominational and has a present enroll-
ment of some 800 students. In 1930 this institution absorbed Hedding College,
which had been conducted for many years at Abingdon, Illinois. Among early trus-
tees of the university were Judge David Davis, of Bloomington, and the Reverend
Peter Cartwright, most famous of pioneer circuit-riding preachers in Illinois.
FIRST RAILROAD
It was in 1853, also, that the citizens of McLean County saw their first rail-
road—a form of transportation that was of the greatest importance in the economic
development of the county. This first "steam road" was the Illinois Central, which
ran its first train from La Salle to Bloomington on May 23, 1853- The county's
second railroad, now part of the Chicago & Alton system, was completed from
Springfield to Bloomington on October 16, 1853- The Alton road later built its
shops in Bloomington.
LINCOLN'S "LOST SPEECH"
One of the most significant events in the life of Abraham Lincoln took place
in Bloomington on May 29, 1856. This was the day on which he delivered his
famous "Lost Speech" at a meeting of Republicans in Major's Hall-the first state
convention of Republicans to be held in Illinois. Although no record was made of
Lincoln's speech here, it was remembered as a challenging rebuke to the pro-
slavery element of the nation and as a precursor of the Civil War. The speech
10
made Lincoln a national figure, starting him on the road towards the White House.
Two years after this speech, Lincoln again visited Bloomington, this time as
a candidate against Stephen A. Douglas for the office of United States senator. It
was during this campaign of 1858 that the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates were
staged, but Bloomington was not included among the seven Illinois towns where the
debates were held. On September 4, 1858, however, Lincoln delivered a campaign
speech in Bloomington before some 6,000 persons in Courthouse Square. On that
day he was the house guest of his intimate friend, Judge David Davis.
ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY
Oldest teachers' college iff Illinois, and the tenth oldest in the United States,
is Illinois State Normal University in the town of Normal, adjacent to Bloomington
city. With a present enrollment of 2,250 students, the university occupies a 68-acre
landscaped campus on which stand 25 major buildings. In addition, the university
operates University Farm, comprising 192 acres on which stand 12 buildings. Total
value of the university's physical plant— land, buildings, equipment— is $ 10,000,000.
This first teachers' college in Illinois was established in North Bloomington
—as Normal was then called— in 1857, largely through the efforts of Jesse W. Fell,
Judge David Davis and other leading citizens of Bloomington. These citizens
offered a bid of $100,000 for the location of the university here, and $70,000 of
this bid was underwritten by a guarantee drafted by Abraham Lincoln and signed
by eighty-five Bloomington residents.
One year after the university was chartered, Jesse Fell laid out the town of
Normal and planted the trees which are now such an outstanding sight of the town.
The first head of the university was Charles E. Hovey, father of the famous Ameri-
can poet, Richard Hovey. A one-time student at Normal High School, which then
was a "practice school" for the teachers of the university, was Adlai E. Steven-
son II, great-grandson of Jesse W. Fell and Democratic candidate for President in
1952.
At the main entrance to the campus of Illinois State Normal University there
stands today an attractive memorial gate bearing the inscription: "To the founder
of Normal, Jesse W. Fell, friend of education, lover and planter of trees and philan-
thropist of mighty vision, this gate is dedicated by The Women's Improvement
League and his many friends."
DAVIS, FELL AND SWETT
As we have already noted, it was three Bloomington lawyers, David Davis,
Jesse Fell and Leonard Swett, who had most to do with bringing about the nomi-
nation of Abraham Lincoln as a candidate for President of the United States in
i860. They accomplished this great and historic task both before and during the
11
momentous Republican convention at the Wigwam, in Chicago, which opened on
May 16, 1860.
Practically all Lincoln biographies give detailed accounts of the manner in
which these three Bloomington men achieved their goal of elevating Lincoln to the
Presidency. Before the campaign, Davis had long been judge of the celebrated
Eighth JudicialCircuit in Illinois; the circuit traveled by Lincoln, Stephen A.
Douglas and other famous lawyers of the day. After the Civil War, Davis served as
an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court and as a United States
senator from Illinois. He died at Bloomington in 1886.
A year later, Jesse Fell came to the end of his days at the age of seventy-
nine. One of his most prized possessions was a three-page autobiography of
Lincoln— the only autobiography Lincoln ever wrote. It was penned in Lincoln's
own hand at the suggestion of Jesse Fell (the document is now in the Library of
Congress).
The third member of the "Lincoln nominators," Leonard Swett, became a
resident of Chicago after the Republican convention of I860 and there, during the
post-Civil War years, attained national renown as a civil and criminal lawyer. He
died in Chicago in 1889.
THE CIVIL WAR
When President Lincoln urgently called for 75,000 volunteers at the outbreak
of the Civil War in 1861, McLean County quickly responded with more than its
quotas of men and money for the Union cause. It has been estimated that the coun-
ty, during the full course of the conflict, furnished more than 4,000 men to the
Union armies— practically one-half of its able-bodied male population. Among the
county's most outstanding officers in the Civil War were Generals William W. Orme,
Asahel Gridley, and Giles A. Smith and Colonels John McNulta, Harvey Hogg, Wil-
liam McCullough and Charles E. Hovey. Several years after the close of the war
McLean County honored the memory of its fallen soldiers by erecting an impressive
Soldiers' Monument in Franklin Park.
SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS' CHILDREN'S HOME
Another noted institution of McLean County is the Soldiers' and Sailors'
Children's Home in the university town of Normal. It was established here in 1867
on land donated by manv leading citizens of Normal and Bloomington, among them
Jesse Fell and Judge David Davis. The home was built at an initial cost of
$125,000. Today, it occupies 160 acres of landscaped grounds on which stand
more than 30 buildings. The institution provides a home and education for an
average of 600 children.
12
WAKEFIELD'S ALMANAC
During the late 1880's one of the best-known products of Bloomington was
Wakefield's Almanac. It was circulated annually in all parts of the United States
by a local medicine company founded by Dr. C. Wakefield, pioneer physician of
Bloomington. We are told that Wakefield's Almanac, besides an English version,
was printed in three other languages, Swedish, German and Norwegian.
"PRIVATE JOE" FIFER
When Joseph W. Fifer, a prominent Bloomington lawyer, was a contestant in
the Republican primaries for Governor of Illinois in 1888, he became widely known
as "Private Joe" Fifer— a name that remained with him even after he was elected
chief executive of the state. It arose from the fact that all of his opponents in the
nominating contest that year were generals and other high officers of the Civil
War. "Private Joe" Fifer died in Bloomington in 1938 at an advanced age.
In addition to Fifer and Adlai E. Stevenson II, another prominent resident of
Bloomington who became Governor was John M. Hamilton. He was elected the
state's chief executive in 1883- He first came to Bloomington in 1869 as a young
lawyer. In the beginning, however, Hamilton served as a tutor in Illinois Wesleyan
University. After taking up the practice of law, he was early elected to the Illinois
state senate.
GREAT FIRE OF 1900
About midnight on June 18, 1900, a fire broke out in the Model Laundry in
Bloomington's central business district. It spread quickly to other business build-
ings, and, eight hours later, most of the city's downtown district was a mass of
smoking ruins. It was the most disastrous fire in the history of McLean County.
The conflagration destroyed many commercial buildings as well as the ornate
McLean County Courthouse. Damage was estimated at more than $2,000,000. The
business district was re-built soon afterwards, and, in the years following, there
appeared here such outstanding structures as the State Farm Insurance building,
the McBarnes building and the Scottish Rite Temple.
A POPULAR POET
When Richard Hovey died in 1900, the nation lost one of its most popular
poets. He was best known for his Songs Prom V agabondia, which he wrote in col-
laboration with Bliss Carmen. His father was Charles F. Hovey, first president of
Illinois State Normal University. The future poet was born in the Hovey home at
202 West Mulberry Avenue, in Normal, on May 4, 1864- A few years after the Civil
War, the Hoveys moved to Washington, D.C., and it was there young Richard was
educated.
13
"SAGE OF EAST AURORA"
Another noted literary figure who was born and early reared in McLean County
was Elbert Hubbard, writer, editor, master craftsman, philosopher and famous at
the turn of the century as the "Sage of East Aurora." It was at East Aurora, New
York, that his craftsmen turned out furniture and other household articles. He died
on the Lusitania when it was sunk during World War I.
TRAPEZE TERRACE
For some strange reason, Bloomington has nurtured almost as many famous
trapeze artists as it has noted lawyers, political leaders, educators, journalists
and literary figures. As a result, there appeared in the city a place called Trapeze
Terrace, a kind of winter training ground for many of the aerial artists of the
country. Among famous circus performers who practiced here in the past were the
Flying La Vans and the Flying Concellos.
MELVILLE E. STONE
One of America's great editors, Melville E. Stone, was born and early reared
in the small village of Hudson, just north of Bloomington. His birth occurred here
on August 22, 1848. In his mature years, Melville E. Stone became co-founder, with
Victor Lawson, of the Chicago Daily News. Later, he became the "father" of the
Associated Press, now the largest news-gathering agency in the world. Stone died
in 1929. The Hudson house in which he was born afterwards became the home of
Thomas W. Stevenson, granduncle of the present Adlai E. Stevenson of Chicago.
LAKE BLOOMINGTON
Near the village of Hudson, in the northern part of the county, lies Lake
Bloomington, a 500-acre body of water created by damming up Money Creek. It is
not only the source of Bloomington' s water supply but is a recreational area of
great popularity in this part of the state. The lake is surrounded by a wooded tract
totalling nearly 1,500 acres and containing many summer cottages and permanent
homes. Swimming, fishing and boating are afforded by the lake.
At the northern end of the lake stands the Pumping Station, designed in the
Italian Renaissance style of architecture. A stone gateway near the station has
imbedded in it a plaque in memory of Dr. Silas Hubbard, beloved pioneer physician
of the area and father of the famous author and master craftsman, Elbert Hubbard.
The latter, together with Melville E. Stone, noted editor, are honored in the Stone-
Hubbard Memorial, a granite bench which overlooks Lake Bloomington.
GOVERNOR ADLAI F. STEVENSON
When Adlai E. Stevenson, who then was Governor of Illinois, was chosen by
14
the Democratic party to oppose General Dwight D. Eisenhower in the presidential
race of 1952, national attention was almost immediately centered on Governor
Stevenson's family seat— McLean County, Illinois. Although he was born in Los
Angeles, California (on February 5, 1900), where his parents happened to be living
at the time, Stevenson, while still an infant, was brought back to Bloomington and
there he was reared, educated and started out on the career that led him to the
presidential contest of 1952 and to world renown.
If many details of pioneer Bloomington days, of pioneer Bloomington char-
acters, appear in most biographies of that earlier presidential personage, Abraham
Lincoln, so also appear many details of the city's later period and later personali-
ties in the several biographies of Adlai Stevenson that have been published in
recent years. One of the best of these works is Adlai E. Stevenson oj Illinois,
written by Noel F. Busch and published in 1952.
In this volume we are given the full story of Stevenson's forbears in McLean
County, starting with Jesse W. Fell, who first arrived in 1832. We are told further
of Stevenson's grandfather, Adlai E. Stevenson I, a pioneer Bloomington lawyer
who became Vice-President of the United States. And we are given details, too, of
the former Illinois governor's father, Lewis Green Stevenson, a Bloomington farm
manager who in 1914 was elected Secretary of State for Illinois.
Although the 1952 presidential candidate now lives on a farm at Liberty ville,
Illinois, just outside Chicago, he still retains the deepest attachment, we are told,
for his ancestral county, McLean, in the center of Illinois, in the heartland of
America. And this devotion, say his biographers, is entirely aside from any material
connections he still has with Bloomington, such as his one-fourth ownership of the
Bloomington Pantagraph, his interest in the old Stevenson home on Washington
Street (which his sister, Mrs. Ernest L. Ives, and her husband often visit), and his
possession of several farms in McLean and adjoining counties.
"WHO'S WHO" IN McLEAN COUNTY
■X In the latest (1955) edition of that standard reference work, Yibo's W/bo in
America, we find biographies-in-brief of three McLean County men. All are educa-
tors with national reputations and all are connected with Illinois State Normal
University.
One of them is President Raymond Wilber Fairchild of the university. After
serving as administrative head of various high schools and colleges in other parts
of Illinois and in Wisconsin, Dr. Fairchild became a professor in the School of
Education at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, in 1930. Three years
later he was named president of Illinois State Normal University.
Now serving as director of integration for that university is Dr. Chris Anthony
De Young. Before coming to Normal in 1934, Dr. De Young had served as a private
and governmental educator in various parts of India, and, after World War II, as a
15
United States government educator in Germany. He has written numerous books and
magazine articles in the field of education.
Another authority in education, as well as in semantics, is Professor Robert
Herman Moore, also of Illinois State Normal University. He first came to Blooming-
ton in 1944 when he was appointed assistant professor of education at Illinois
Wesleyan University. In 1952 he was appointed associate professor of education
at Illinois State Normal. His book, General Semantics, is regarded as an authori-
tative work in the field of word meanings.
Mclean county today
On the basis of the latest published census returns, a statistical profile may
be drawn of McLean County as it was in 1950, or in mid-twentieth century. These
returns show that the county then had a total population of 76,577— an increase of
3.6 per cent over its 1940 population. Thus, the county stood 325th in population
rank among the 3,103 counties of the United States. A little over 1 per cent of its
population was classified as non-white.
As we have already noted, McLean is the largest of Illinois counties in point
of land area, occupying a locality of 1,173 square miles. Its density of population
was given as 65 inhabitants per square mile.
Whereas 43,935 of its inhabitants were classified as urban dwellers, 15,325
were classified as rural farm dwellers. Between these two groups were 17,317
classified as rural non-farm residents. In 1950 the county had 7,487 infants under
five years of age, 8,260 persons sixty-five years old and over, and the median age
was given as 3L4 years. At that time there were 4,140 residents living in another
county of the United States, or abroad. The county then had a total of 50,118 po-
tential voters.
Under the heading of vital statistics, McLean County in 1950 had 1,656 live
births, 865 deaths (including 54 infant deaths), and 814 marriages.
At that time, also, the county had 19,570 families (two or more persons re-
lated by marriage or blood). The median income of all of these families was given
as $3,198. More than 23 per cent had incomes of less than $2,000, while 21.7 per
cent had incomes of $5,000 or more.
In the field of education, the county then had a total of 12,345 young persons
between the ages of seven and seventeen years (school age). Of this total, 7,795
were between the ages of seven and thirteen years (primary school age), and 94.3
per cent of these were enrolled in primary schools. There were 3,520 between the
ages of fourteen and seventeen years (high school age), and 86.4 per cent of these
were enrolled in high schools. Of all persons in the county twenty-five years old
and over, it was found that the median number of school years they completed
16
was 10. A little more than 4 per cent completed less than 5 grades, while 4D per
cent completed high school or more.
With reference to labor, the county in 1950 had a potential labor force (per-
sons fourteen years old and over) of 58,631. Actually employed, however, were
30,526, of which 77.9 per cent were males and 28.7 per cent females. There were
6,271 employed in retail and wholesale trade, 5,631 in agriculture, 3,920 in manu-
facturing, 3,341 in professional and related services, 2,451 in transportation, com-
munication and other public utilities, 2,163 in finance, insurance and real estate,
1,744 in business and personal services, 1,660 in construction, and 26 in mining.
The labor figures were summed up by showing that 18.9 per cent ofthe county's
total employed were engaged in agriculture, while 13-2 per cent were engaged in
manufacturing.
As for housing, the county in 1950 had a total of 23,668 housing units— in
1940 it had 21,564. The median number of rooms per unit was given as 5. More
than 76 per cent were one-dwelling unit detached structures (including occupied
trailers), 7.9 per cent were built in 1940 or later, and 60.4 per cent had hot running
water with private toilet and bath. Furthermore, 56.5 per cent were owner-occupied,
1 per cent were occupied by non-white households, 67.5 per cent had central heat-
ing, 88.5 per cent had mechanical refrigerators, and 98.3 per cent had radios. There
were 19,250 houses classified as non-farm dwelling units, and the median value of
these was given as $7,059. The median gross monthly rental of renter-occupied
houses was given as $47.31-
In 1948, when the last business census was taken, McLean County had a total
of 932 retail stores which employed 4,346 persons and which grossed $78,937,000
in sales. The largest number of these were food stores, which totaled 205 and
which grossed $16,206,000 in sales. The next largest were eating and drinking
places, which totaled 189 and which grossed $5,864,000 in sales. In that same
year, there were 173 wholesale establishments which employed 895 persons and
which grossed $64,526,000 in sales.
In the field of manufacturing, the county in 1947 had 76 manufacturing plants
which employed 4,520 persons and which produced goods, articles, merchandise,
etc., in the amount of $26,335,000.
It is in the field of agriculture, however, that the county derives its greatest
wealth. In 1950 it had a total of 3,773 farms, of which 3,472 were classified as
commercial farms. More than 53 per cent of all its farms were operated by tenants.
The average value of land and buildings per farm for all farms was given as $54,210.
In 1949, when such totals were last obtained, the value of all farm products sold —
crops, livestock, poultry, dairy products— was placed at $40,317,000. In that same
year farm expenditures amounted to $3,246,000 for livestock and poultry feed and
$1,854,000 for hired labor.
The county's principal crop is corn. In 1954 it produced 17,440,100 bushels
of corn valued at $26,356,300. In that same year the county had a total of 101,900
17
head of cattle of all ages, valued at $9,895,900. It also had 159,500 hogs of all
ages, valued at $5,070,200.
As of December 30, 1950, total bank deposits in McLean County amounted to
$81,757,000. Total savings capital of the county's four savings and loan associa-
tions, on the same date, amounted to $9,638,000, with $10,281,000 in first mortgage
loans outstanding.

BLOOMINGTON
Now known throughout the nation as the ancestral seat of Adlai E. Stevenson,
candidate for President in 1952, Bloomington is the largest city in McLean County
as well as the county's seat of justice. As the story of Bloomington is largely the
story of McLean County, details of the city's past may be found in the opening
historical narrative of the present work.
In 1950 the city had a population of 34,163— an increase of 3. 9 per cent over
its 1940 figure. In the same year it had a city zone population (including adjacent
Normal town) of 43,935- An unofficial survey showed that Bloomington, in 1950,
was the center of a retail trading area embracing McLean and parts of other coun-
ties with a total population estimated at 176,715- Although the population of
Bloomington increased 3-9 per cent between 1940 and 1950, yet a much sharper
rise occurred in Normal during the same period— its 1950 population was 39-9 per
cent higher than its 1940 figure.
Located on US 66, main highway between Chicago and St. Louis, Bloomington
is a leading educational and manufacturing center of central Illinois. Here are
located Illinois State Normal University and Illinois Wesleyan University, two out-
standing institutions of higher learning.
Bloomington also contains the Soldiers' and Sailors' Children's Home, estab-
lished in 1867. An annual event of widespread interest here is the American Pas-
sion Play, staged at the Scottish Rite Temple, which has one of the largest stages
in the Midwest. In the McBarnes Building are shown exhibits of the McLean County
Historical Society. The city's principal recreation place is Miller Park, featuring
a zoo and aquarium.
Among leading manufacturing plants in Bloomington, and the number of their
employees, are the Eureka-Williams Corporation (1,000), Meadow Division of the
Thor Corporation (375), Paul F. Beich Candy Company (250), Admiral Corporation
(350), General Electric Company (1,200), American Foundry Company (175), Port-
able Elevator Company (90), Washburn Canning Company (75), Ralston-Purina
Company (180), Funk Brothers Seed Company (216), and McGill Foundry Com-
pany (65).
One of the oldest newspapers in Illinois is the Bloomington Pantagraph. It
was founded in 1846 and was the first newspaper in America to offer Abraham
Lincoln as a candidate for President. Today, the Pantagraph has a daily circula-
tion of 37,815. It is edited by H. Clay Tate and published by Loring C. Merwin.
The last-named is a cousin of Adlai E. Stevenson. Another publication of Bloom-
ington is the McLean County Farm and Home Bureau News, a monthly with a circu-
lation of 6,000.
21
NORMAL
Adjacent to Bloomington city, on the north, is the town of Normal, known
throughout the state as the seat of Illinois State Normal University. Many details
of the town's past may be found in the opening historical narrative of this book. In
1953 the town had a population of 9,772— an increase of 39-9 per cent over its 1940
figure.
First teacher's college in Illinois and the tenth oldest in the nation, Normal
University today occupies a 68-acre landscaped campus on which stand 25 build-
ings. Besides, the university operates University Farm, comprising 192 acres on
which stand 12 buildings. The total value of the institution's physical plant— land,
buildings, equipment— is $10,000,003.
Normal is mainly a residential town, although it contains a number of canning
factories and nurseries. Published here is the Normalite, a weekly newspaper with
a circulation of 2,000. It was established in 1898 and at present is published by
R. H. and E. B. Craig. Another publication is the Normal Vidette, issued by uni-
versity students.

STANFORD
In the western part of the county lies the incorporated village of Stanford,
which in 1950 had a population of 457. It has a number of retail stores, service
establishments, a postoffice and banking facilities. The village is situated on the
Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad and contains a spacious grain elevator for the use of
local farmers. Stanford was laid out in 1867 by John Armstrong, early settler.
Today, Stanford is the only community in Allin Township, which has a total
population of 967. The township was named after James Allin, founder of Bloom-
ington city. First settler of the township was Miles Brooks, who arrived in 1830
and built a log cabin at a place afterwards known as Brooks Grove.

ARROWSMITH
Marked by several white grain elevators above its green trees, the incorpor-
ated village of Arrowsmith serves as a trading center for a portion of the farming
community in the eastern part of the county. It has a present population of 316.
Through the village runs the New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad. Arrowsmith
was surveyed and platted in 1871, one year before the railroad was built through
the area. It was named after Ezekiel Arrowsmith, early settler and first supervisor
of Arrowsmith Township. Today, the township has a total population of 798. Be-
lieved to have been the first settlers of the township were several sons of Jona-
than Cheney, an early pioneer of the county. One of them was Thomas Cheney, who
arrived about 1833- A later arrival was David Hall, who came in 1837.

BELLFLOWER
In the southeast corner of the county lies the incorporated village of Bell-
flower, with a present population of 413- It is a tree-shaded community of comfort-
able white homes and alongside the Illinois Central Railroad, which runs through
the village, rise two commodious grain elevators. Also through the village passes
US 54. Bellflower was surveyed and platted in 1871 by George N. Black. Today,
this village is the principal community of Bellflower Township, which has a total
population of 964. The township was given its name by Jesse Richards, early
settler and first Justice of the Peace, who "had a great admiration for the Belle-
flower apple."
87
■ ■
OSMAN
Only other community of Bellflower Township is the small village of Osman,
with a population of sixty. It is located on the Wabash Railroad and contains num-
erous grain storage bins of the government's Commodity Credit Corporation. The
village was laid out by Moses Osman, a pioneer railroad builder of the area.

BLOOMINGTON CITY
(see "Bloomington and Normal")
115
HENDRIX
Just south of Bloomington city lies the small hamlet of Hendrix, consisting
of a few houses near the Illinois Central and the Illinois Terminal railroads. It is
served by the postoffice at Bloomington. The hamlet was named after John Hend-
rix, one of the earliest settlers of McLean County, who arrived in 1822. Hendrix is
located in Bloomington Township, which has a total population of 2,582. This
township originally contained Bloomington city. Some years ago, however, Bloom-
ington city was made into a separate township. In the northeast corner of Bloom-
ington Township is located the Bloomington Municipal Airport.
116
BURNS
Another small settlement in Bloomington Township is Burns, located just
south of Hendrix. Near it passes the Illinois Central and the Illinois Terminal rail-
roads as well as US 51.

SAYBROOK
Marked by a water tank above its central business district, the incorporated
village of Saybrook serves as a trading center for the farming community in the
eastern portion of the county. Around it are dairy, stock, poultry and grain farms.
The village has a population of 758. Through it passes the New York, Chicago &
St. Louis Railroad.
Saybrook had its origin in a steam sawmill built here in 1846 by Eli Blakes-
ley. Later came a blacksmith shop and a general store, the latter opened by J. B.
Beckwith in 1854. Today, Saybrook is the only community in Cheney Grove Town-
ship, which has a total population of 1,314. First settler of the township was Jona-
than Cheney, who came in 1825 with his wife and eight children. A few years later
Robert Cunningham arrived with his family and staked out a claim.

CHENOA
A manufacturing as well as trading center, the incorporated city of Chenoa
has a present population of 1,452. Here are a number of canning factories and
machine shops as well as a shuffleboard plant. The city is located twenty-five
miles north of Bloomington on US 66, main highway of Illinois. It is also on the
Illinois Central and Toledo, Peoria & Western railroads.
Chenoa was surveyed and platted in 1856 by Matthew T. Scott, who came from
Kentucky and who named it after an Indian chieftain of his native state. A year
before Scott came, however, a general emporium, long known as the Farmers' Store,
was built here by J. B. Lenney and his brother-in-law, John Bush, Jr. Today,
Chenoa city is the principal community of Chenoa Township, which has a total
population of 2,032. One of the earliest settlers of the township was Joseph Graham.
201
MEADOWS
Only other community of Chenoa Township is the small village of Meadows,
located west of Chenoa on US 24 and the Toledo, Peoria & Western Railroad. The
village was platted in 1877 by Charles Parker, original owner of the site.

CROPSEY
At the eastern edge of McLean County lies the incorporated village of Crop-
sey, with a population of 200. Through it runs the Illinois Central Railroad. A spa-
cious grain elevator and numerous grain storage bins of the government's Commod-
ity Credit Corporation are located here. The village was laid out in 1858 by Colo-
nel A. J. Cropsey, who received his military title in the Civil War. He was also
the first settler of Cropsey Township, which today has a total population of 424.
In later years Colonel Cropsey moved to Lincoln, Nebraska, and became a promi-
nent political leader of that state.

SHIRLEY
Founded more than a hundred years ago, the small village of Shirley today
has a population of 129. It is located southwest of Bloomington on US 66 and the
Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad. On the outskirts of the village are placed numerous
grain storage bins of the Commodity Credit Corporation. Shirley began as a railroad
station in 1854; it was platted as a town in 1859 by John Foster. Today, this vil-
lage is the largest community of Dale Township, which has a total population of
778. Earliest settlers of the township were Stephen Webb and William McCord, both
of whom came from Tennessee in 1827.
235
COVELL
Only other community of Dale Township is the small hamlet of Covell, with a
population of thirty. It is located northwest of Shirley on the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio
Railroad. Covell was platted in 1867 by John L. Rowell.

DOWNS
In the fertile farming country southeast of Bloomington lies the incorporated
village of Downs, which today has a population of 299- It has a number of retail
stores, automobile and other service establishments, a postoffice and several com-
modious grain elevators. The village is located on the New York Central Railroad
and on US 153. Downs was surveyed and platted in 1870 on the site of an earlier
village called Priceville, laid out by P. B. Price, son of an early settler. Today,
this village is the only community of Downs Township, with a total population of
998. First settler of the township was Lawson Downs, who came in 1829 and took
up a claim at what later was known as Diamond Grove.

LE ROY
One of the oldest communities of McLean County is the incorporated city of
Le Roy, located seventeen miles southeast of Bloomington. At present it has a
population of 1,820. Here are a number of canning factories, hatcheries and cream-
eries, as well as numerous retail stores, automobile and other service establish-
ments, a postoffice and banking facilities. The city is located on the New York
Central Railroad and on US 150.
Two of Bloomington's most prominent early citizens, Generals Ashael Gridley
and Merritt Covell, laid out the city of Le Roy in 1835- Some years later a race
track was established here and horse races were staged each Saturday. Today,
Le Roy city is the only community of Empire Township, which has a total popula-
tion of 2,437. First settler of the township was John Buckles, who arrived with
his family from Virginia in 1827. His family consisted of his wife and thirteen
children.

FUNKS GROVE
About ten miles southwest of Bloomington, on US 66, lies Funks Grove,
nucleus of the famous and extensive seed farms operated here by the Funk Brothers
Seed Company. The land holdings of the company total 22,000 acres, most of which
are devoted to seed experiments and developments and to livestock breeding. Seed
from these acres is shipped to most corn-growing states in America and to many
foreign countries.
Funks Grove is the only community of Funks Grove Township, which in 1950
had a total population of 558. First settlers of the township were Isaac Funk and
his brother Absalom, together with a close friend of the two, William Brock. All
three arrived in the spring of 1824. In the fall of that same year came Isaac and
Absalom Funk's brother-in-law, Robert Stubblefield. At a later period Isaac Funk
was elected to the Illinois state legislature.

HUDSON
Just north of Bloomington is located the quiet, elm-shaded village of Hudson
in which stand two attractive old frame houses associated with two nationally
known men. In one of the houses was born Melville E. Stone, co-founder of the Chi-
cago Daily News and "father" of the Associated Press, and in the other lived, as
a boy, Elbert Hubbard, author, editor and master craftsman.
Having a present population of 339, Hudson village was founded in 1836 by a
group of pioneers from New York known as the Hudson Colony. The first house in
the colony was built by James T. Gildersleeve, and it was in this dwelling that
Melville E. Stone was later born. An early physician of Hudson was Dr. Silas Hub-
bard, father of Elbert Hubbard. Today, Hudson is the only community in Hudson
Township, which has a total population of 910. First settlers of the township were
Bailey Harbert, his son-in-law Richard Gross, and Mosby Harbert.

LEXINGTON
In the Mackinaw River country, northeast of Bloomington, the city of Lexing-
ton serves as a leading trading center of the surrounding farm area. It has a popu-
lation of 1,181. A number of nurseries and corn-processing plants are located here,
as well as numerous retail stores, automobile and other service establishments, a
postoffice and banking facilities. The city is situated on the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio
Railroad and on US 66.
Named after the famous Massachusetts battleground, Lexington was surveyed
and platted in 1836 by General Ashael Gridley and James Brown. The town did not
fully develop, however, until after the building of the first railroad through the area
in 1854. Today, Lexington city is the principal community of Lexington Township,
which has a total population of 1,789- First to settle in the township were Conrad
Flesher, John Haner and Isaac and Joseph Brumhead, together with their families.
All arrived in 1828. Several Kickapoo Indian villages were here when these settlers
came.

PLEASANT HILL
Also in Lexington Township is the scattered settlement of Pleasant Hill,
located near the Mackinaw River. The settlement began as a townsite laid out in
1840 by Isaac Smalley, who had arrived here in 1838. The Presbyterian Church
was built at Pleasant Hill in 1852 and the United Brethren Church in 1858.

CLARKSVILLE
A few miles east of Lake Bloomington lies the scattered settlement of Clarks-
ville. Originally, a town was planned herein the late 1830's by James Clark, but
the town failed to materialize. Clarksville is located in Money Creek Township,
which has a total population of 590. First to settle in the township was Louis
Soward, who later became familiarly known as "Uncle Louie." He and his family
are believed to have arrived in 1825- He was joined afterwards by his brother-in-
law, Jacob Harness. Another who came here early was Jacob Spawr, the year of
his arrival having been 1826.

Mclean
In the southwest corner of the county is located the incorporated village of
McLean, with a population of 667. The village is situated on the Gulf, Mobile &
Ohio Railroad and on US 66. It contains a number of retail stores, automobile and
other service establishments, a postoffice and a large grain elevator. McLean was
surveyed and platted in 1855 by Franklin Price. Today, this village is the only
community of Mount Hope Township, which has a total population of 1,313- The
township was organized in 1858 and its first supervisor was Daniel Winsor. The
name of the township was derived from a settlement project known as the Mount
Hope Colony, which failed to materialize in the township. It was organized in
Rhode Island in 1835-

NORMAL
For details on the past and present of the town of Normal, see the opening
historical narrative of the present work and the chapter on "Bloomington and
Normal." The township in which the town is located, bearing the same name, in
1950 had a total population of 10,444. First to settle in the township area was
Achilles Deatherage, believed to have arrived in 1831- Later that year came Robert
Guthrie. After 1835 the area became known as Major's Grove, a large portion of it
having been acquired by the Reverend W. T. Major. He later established a school
here known as Major's College. Subsequently, a village was laid out here called
North Bloomington. After the Illinois State Normal University was located here in
1857, the name of North Bloomington was changed to Normal.

HOLDER
Founded eighty-four years ago, the village of Holder today has a population
of 100. It is located east of Bloomington on the New York, Chicago & St. Louis
Railroad. In addition to several retail stores and service establishments, the vil-
lage contains a large grain elevator and rows of grain storage bins of the Commodi-
ty Credit Corporation. Holder was surveyed and platted in 1871 by Charles W. Hol-
der. Today, it is the principal community of Oldtown Township, which has a total
population of 730. First to arrive in the township area was William Evans, who
came in the spring of 1826. Several years later William Maxwell arrived from North
Carolina.

TOWANDA
Just northeast of Bloomington is located the tree-shaded village of Towanda,
with a population of 400. It is one of the numerous towns laid out by Jesse W. Fell,
founder of Normal and pioneer Illinois land developer. When Fell platted Towanda
in 1854, he was associated with Charles W. Holder, who founded the village of
Holder. Located on the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad and on US 66, Towanda today
is the principal community of Towanda Township, which has a total population of
959. First to settle in the township was John Trimmer, who came with his family
in 1826.
667
■
BARNES
Also in Towanda Township is the small hamlet of Barnes, with a population
of ten. It is served by the postoffice at nearby Normal. Just southwest of the ham-
let is located the Bloomington Municipal Airport.

The "Illinois — Land of Lincoln" insignia used on many publications
and exhibits of the Secretary of State's office was designed by Secretary
Carpentier within a few days after he took office in January, 1953. Mr.
Carpentier wanted a distinctive original marking to identify material issued
by his office, but also one which would be a brief, appropriate description of
and tribute to the State.
The insignia became popular immediately, and in the 1953 session of
the General Assembly, Senator Fred J. Hart of Streator introduced a bill in
the Senate which would require that it be reproduced on Illinois motor
vehicle license plates.
When investigation revealed that this would materially increase the
cost of the license plates, Senator Hart was consulted and asked to amend
his bill to make placing of the insignia on the plates discretionary with the
Secretary. Senator Hart agreed to make the amendment, and since then
Illinois license plates have carried the words, fattd ' of > [inCOm

STATE SYMBOLS
The Great Seal of Illinois
""The present great seal of Illinois was authorized by the Assembly on March
7, 1867, but was not used until October 26, 1868, and an unusual situation is
involved in the history of the seal.
According to Brand Whitlock, famous author, the first of all the seals used
for official documents in what is now Illinois, was that of 1788. It was known as
"The Seal of the Territory of the U. S. N. W. of the Ohio River." The words were
within two concentric circles. The center of the seal showed a river, on which rode
two canoes, with woodland showing beyond the river.
In 1800, when Indiana Territory, which included Illinois, was created, a new
seal was needed. This situation was met by duplicating the seal of the Northwest
Territory, the only change being the substitution of the words "Indiana Territory"
within the circles.
When Illinois Territory came into existence in 1809, still another seal was
required. So the fathers made an almost exact copy of the Great Seal of the United
States, merely eliminating the "E Pluribus Unum." This seal was first used on
February 4, 1810.
When Illinois gained Statehood in 1818, the second session of the First
General Assembly decreed on February 19, 1819, that it was the duty of the
Secretary of State to procure a permanent State seal, as was to be agreed upon
by the Governor — Shadrach Bond — and the Justices of the Supreme Court —
Thomas C. Browne, William P. Foster, Joseph Phillips, John Reynolds and William
Wilson. The new seal was another duplicate of the United States seal, but differed
from the preceding seal of the Territory in that the Eagle held a scroll in its beak
on which were the words of the State motto, "State Sovereignty — National Union."
As previously, the eagle held a bunch of arrows in one talon, an olive branch in
the other, with the escutcheon on its chest.

late Mr. Brand Whitlock and reproduced in
the Journal of the Illinois Historical Society.

duced from the Illinois Historical Society's
Journal.
*»»•••••••••*
This seal remained in use until late October, 1868 when inexplicable activities
by Sharon Tyndale, Secretary of State, brought about the creation of the seal
which exists today.
Tyndale, in January 1867, told Senator Allen 'C. Fuller that the old seal had
outlived its usefulness, that a new one was necessary, and asked Fuller to sponsor a
bill to change it. The bill was presented to the Senate January 7, 1867, and passed
without comment. It went to the House and when read there on January 10th,
Assemblyman Dinsmore from Whiteside County suggested an amendment to read
that the new seal was to be "an exact facsimile of the present seal."
The amendment was defeated 31 to 46.
Dinsmore's beaten amendment created immediate suspicion of the" bill. It was
recalled to the Senate. The vote that approved the bill was reconsidered. It was
discovered that Tyndale planned in the new seal to reverse the wording on the
scroll, changing it from "State Sovereignty, National Union" to "National Union,
State Sovereignty." The recent Civil War, he believed, put national union above
state sovereignty. But the change that he contemplated was thwarted by a Senate
amendment which ruled that the words on the scroll of the renewed seal were to
correspond with the old seal in every particular.
The bill was passed March 7, 1867 in its amended form.
The old seal continued in use until its last official imprint on October 24,
1868, and the final impressions were sharp and clear, indicating it was not "badly
out of order" as had been claimed by Tyndale.
The new seal, which is the present one and which was designed by Tyndale,
is a radical departure from the old. When it first appeared, and all through the
years since, the reasons for the inside design, made at Tyndale's direction, have
puzzled many beholders.
The shield no longer adorns the eagle's breast, but is in a titled position on
the ground; the arrows are gone; the branch bears little resemblance to an olive
branch; the eagle is sitting on a boulder in a prairie, and a rising sun shines on
a distant Eastern horizon. Strangest of all, the wording on the seal ignores the
amendment and "National Union" appears above "State Sovereignty."
Second Great Seal of the State of Illinois.
While this design differed from the first Seal,
it remained unchanged in a heraldic sense.
Present Great Seal bearing altered design in-
troduced in 1868. This design is far removed in
meaning from that of the original State Seal.
STATE FLAG OF ILLINOIS
6
State Flag of Illinois
Illinois State Flag was officially adopted on July 6, 1915, after a vigorous cam-
paign by Mrs. Ella Park Lawrence, State Regent of the Daughters of the
American Revolution.
Early in 1912, Mrs. Lawrence began visiting local D. A. R. chapters through-
out Illinois seeking cooperation in promoting selection of an official State banner
to place in the Continental Memorial Hall in Washington, D. C In 1913, Mrs.
Lawrence offered a prize of $25.00 to the Illinois D. A. R. chapter submitting the
best design for the banner. She also wrote to members of the General Assembly
seeking their cooperation.
Four judges were then selected to choose the winning design. Thirty-five de-
signs were submitted and the Rockford Chapter entry was chosen as Illinois' future
emblem.
State Senator Raymond D. Meeker introduced the bill which was to legalize
the flag. After passage in the Senate it was pushed through the House of Represen-
tatives, despite an overcrowded calendar.
The measure automatically became a law July 6, 1915, when the Governor
failed to affix his signature to the bill.
The first official flag, made in Washington, D. C, was three by five feet in
size, of white silk. Flags were given by Mrs. Lawrence to Secretary of State;
Daughters of the American Revolution in Illinois; National Society Daughters of
the American Revolution in Illinois; National Society Daughters of the American
Revolution (to hang in Memorial Continental Hall, Washington, D. C); Rebecca
Parks Chapter, Galesburg and the Illinois State Historical Society.
Visitors to Springfield cannot fail to notice the State Banner flanking the
Stars and Stripes in the Rotunda at the State House. In the same juxtaposition it
appears in the office of the Secretary of State. It is flown on ceremonial days by
numerous patriotic bodies throughout the State. For officials and the public alike
it stands as a reminder of our greatness as a State and our pride in our membership
in the United States of America.
State's Official Tree, Flower and Bird
Qhosen by School Children
TThe mighty oak is the State tree of Illinois.
The shrinking violet is the State flower.
And the vivid red cardinal, with its lilting song, is the State bird of Illinois.
All three were chosen through ballot by school children, with the selections
made official by acts of the Assembly.
In 1907, Mrs. James C. Fessler, of Rochelle, suggested that school children be
permitted to vote on the State tree and the State flower. The ballots were dis-
tributed in November 1907, and the results were as follows:
State Tree
Oak 21,897
Maple - 16,517
Elm 5,082
State Flower
Violet __ 16,583
Wild Rose 12,628
Golden Rod -- 4,315
In January 1908, Senator Andrew J. Jackson, of Rockford, introduced a bill
making the Oak the official tree of Illinois, and the Violet the State flower. The
measure was adopted in February, 1908.
There are 19 species of Oak trees in Illinois, eleven belonging to the black
Oak group, the others to the white.
The Violet grows in practically every section of Illinois, and, in Springtime
blankets the landscapes as far as eye can see.
In 1928 the Macomb branch of the National Federation of Professional
Women's Club decided that there should be an official State bird. The idea was
submitted to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, who approved, and a list of
five birds, conspicuous in Illinois, was submitted to the school children that year,
for balloting. A blank space was included in the event the children wished to vote
for birds other than the five named.
A total of 128,664 ballots were cast in 96 counties, and the result was as
follows:
Cardinal _ 39,226
Blue Bird ._ 30,306
Meadow Lark 16,237
Ouail 1 5,843
Oriole 15,449
A bill authorizing the Cardinal as the official State bird was introduced in the
56th Assembly by Representative James Foster, and adopted June 4, 1929.
The Cardinal, officially' known as Cardinalis Cardinalis, sometimes is called
the redbird and also the Cardinal grosbeck. The adult bird is about eight inches
long. It has a head with a conspicuous crest, but it is only the male whose coloring
is a brilliant red. The female shade is olive gray.

Official State Song "Illinois
n
Sn Act establishing a state song.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois represented in the General
Assembly:
Section 1. The song "Illinois" having words written by C. H. Chamberlain*
and music composed by Archibald Johnston, is established as the official State
Song of Illinois.
[* Correspondence, dating back more than forty years, recently acquired by the
State Historical Library, indicates several mistakes that have become almost as well
established as the song itself, according to Dr. Harry E. Pratt, State Historian.
One has to do with spelling of the name of the author of the song, Charles H.
Chamberlin. Usually it is spelled Chamberlain, which is incorrect. Two of the
letters are from Oscar B. Knight, a friend of Chamberlin, for whom the song was
written and who first sang it. Previously, the date it was written has been given
as between 1890 and 1894. Knight says, in one of these letters, that he suggested
the material for the fourth and final verse and that Chamberlin finished the song
in his office in the summer of 1892.
This differs from the usual version that the song was written earlier and first
used in the campaign to have the World's Columbian Exposition awarded to
Chicago. The Knight letter also states that in the spring of 1892 Chamberlin had
written a campaign song with the refrain, "April fool, April fool," (the election
was on April 1), to be sung to the tune of "Baby Mine." He said he knew of no
other inspiration" for "Illinois."]
Words of the song follow:
ILLINOIS
By the rivers gently flowing, Illinois, Illinois,
O'er thy prairies verdant growing, Illinois, Illinois,
Comes an echo on the breeze,
Rustling through the leafy trees, and its mellow tones are these,
Illinois, Illinois,
And its mellow tones are these, Illinois.
From a wilderness of prairies, Illinois, Illinois,
Straight thy way and never varies, Illinois, Illinois,
Till upon the inland sea,
Stands thy great commercial tree, turning all the world to thee,
Illinois, Illinois,
Turning all the world to thee, Illinois.
When you heard your country calling, Illinois, Illinois
Where the shot and shell were falling, Illinois, Illinois,
When the Southern host with-drew,
Pitting Gray against the Blue, There were none more brave than you,
Illinois, Illinois
There were none more brave than you, Illinois.
Not without thy wondrous story, Illinois, Illinois,
Can be writ the nation's glory, Illinois, Illinois,
On the record of thy years,
Abraham Lincoln's name appears, Grant and Logan, and our tears,
Illinois, Illinois,
Grant and Logan, and our tears, Illinois.

Old Battle Flags of Illinois
The Illinois regimental flags which flew through four wars — Mexican, Civil,
Spanish-American and World War I — have hallowed places in Memorial Hall,
on the first floor of the Centennial Building in Springfield.
There are two from the Mexican War, of 1846-1848; 346 from the Civil
War, 1861-1865; 22 from the Spanish-American War, 1S98, and 93 from the
World War I in which Illinois' men played such gallant roles.
The Mexican, Civil, and Spanish War flags, torn and faded in combat, have
been quilted between sheets of black netting to prevent further deterioration. The
delicate task necessitated the efforts of 20 women, who worked almost five years on
the project. These flags have lost almost all their color, but the World War flags,
which were not carried into battle, retain much of their original rich shades.
In addition to the flags, Memorial Hall contains the head-dress of the soldiers
in the four wars.
Spaced around the architrave beneath the gold-leafed ceiling of the hall are
the names of 28 of Illinois' war heroes: Smith D. Atkins, Edward Dickinson Baker.
William H. Bissel, Napoleon Bonaparte Buford, William Passmore Carlin, Elon
John Farnsworth, Ulysses S. Grant, Benjamin H. Grierson, Martin D. Hardin,
James D. Henry, Stephen A. Hurlbut, John Basil Turchin, John A. Logan, Wesley
Merritt, James Dady Morgan, James A. Mulligan, John Alexander McClernand,
Richard J. Oglesby, John McCauley Palmer, John Pope, Benjamin Mayberrv Prjn-
tiss, John A. Rawlins, Richard Rowett, John McAllister Schofield, James Shields,
George W. Smith, William Henry Lamb Wallace, and James Harrison Wilson.

inois' State Capitols
V/Tany years ago, in 1703, a group of Jesuits transferred their Illinois Indian Mis-
sion from Des Peres (present St. Louis) to the juncture of the Kaskaskia and
Mississippi Rivers in what later was to be known as Randolph County.
This little settlement became Kaskaskia and on December 3, 1818, when Illi-
nois was admitted to the Federal Union, it became the commonwealth's first
Capital. Since that historic day, Illinois has had three governmental seats (Kas-
kaskia, Vandalia and Springfield) and six Capitols.
For more than a century, before becoming Illinois' fount of government, Kas-
kaskia played an important role in Illinois history, Kaskaskia was the scene of one of
George Rogers Clark's early triumphs when he and a little army of Virginians .
captured it from the British in 1778. In 1809, when Illinois Territory was cre-
ated by an Act of Congress, Kaskaskia was chosen as the territorial capital and it
was the center of population when Nathaniel Pope petitioned Congress for state-
hood for his adopted territory on January 16, 1818. The Congressional Enabling
Act was passed and Illinois became the 21st state on December 3, 1818.
The first Capitol, or State House, was rented. It was a two story brick build-
ing. The House of Representatives occupied the lower floor and on the floor above
was the Senate Chambers. Meeting in this unimpressive setting, the first General
Assembly composed of 13 Senators and 27 Representatives petitioned the Congress
for a grant of land to serve as a new State Capital. The request was granted and
First State House of Illinois at
Kaskaskia. The building was
rented and served as a Cap-
itol from 1818 until 1820. Due
to the encroachments of the
Mississippi River the building
was destroyed in 1900.
Kaskaskia in 1895. The original
site of the capital city lies
beneath the murky Mississippi.
40
a committee of five was named to choose the site. They decided upon "Reeves
Bluff," later to be known as Vandalia, which was about 80 miles northeast on the
Kaskaskia River from Kaskaskia.
The removal of the Capital from Kaskaskia to Vandalia grew out of a mania
for speculation on the part of some of the State's early citizens who thought that
money could be made by starting a land boom in a new location.
The origin of the name "Vandalia" is not known. For many years credence
was given to the story that some wag managed to convince the founders that the
spot had been inhabited by an extinct tribe of savages known as "Vandals." The
most plausible suggested origin is that of Vandalia, Ohio. In 1775, forty-five years
before the establishment of the new Illinois town, the Ohio Land Company's name
had been changed to the Vandalia Land Company. From this sprang the name
Vandalia, Ohio. Regardless of where the name originated the "city planners" pro-
ceeded to justify the story of vandalism by uprooting all the trees which might have
shaded the public square and streets.
Kaskaskia Destroyed by River
After Vandalia became the Capital in 1820, Kaskaskia deteriorated, gradually
disappearing under the waters of the Mississippi River which lapped its shores. In
1881, the river went on one of its many rampages, changed its course, moving east-
ward and then southwest to find its old channel. When the turbulent water had
subsided an island had been created and a considerable portion of the ancient
capital city had been washed away. Each recurring spring flood encroached further
upon the site until the last vestige of historic Kaskaskia slipped into the Mississippi.
On the remaining portion of the present island is a farming community of
around 150 persons and the island still bears the name Kaskaskia, perhaps to per-
petuate in memory the little Capital which lies beneath the muddy Mississippi.
Original Capitol at Vandalia
A plain two story frame structure was erected in Vandalia. The lower floor was
devoted to one room for the House of Representatives. A passage and stairway led
to the second floor which consisted of two rooms, the larger for the Senate Chamber
and the smaller for the Council of Revision. The Secretary of State, Auditor and
Treasurer occupied rented offices detached from the Capitol.
The State's Archives, consisting of a small wagonload, were removed from Kas-
kaskia to Vandalia by Sidney Breese, then clerk to the Secretary of State who later
became a Supreme Court Justice and U. S. Senator. Breese was paid $25.00 for
his labor.
The first session of the Second General Assembly met in the first State-owned
Capitol on December 4, 1820 and during its sitting passed an act making Vandalia
the seat of government for the next twenty years.
On December 9, 1823 fire destroyed this first State-owned Capitol. During
the summer of 1824 a new building was constructed of brick at a cost of $15,000.
Soon thereafter agitation was started for the removal of the Capital to a site nearer
the geographical center of the State. This sentiment caused the General Assembly
to pass an act in 1833 whereby the voters at "the following general election could
decide the location for a new capital city.
The sites on which the vote was to be taken were Vandalia, Jacksonville,
Springfield, Peoria, Alton, and the State's geographical center. ^Alton received the
greatest number of votes but the margin was so small as to be inconclusive, and
the vote was not announced officially as it would undoubtedly 'have been rejected

by the next General Assembly. So the suggested removal from Vandalia was dropped
until the 1836-37 session revived the question.
Lincoln Suggests Springfield
Residents of Vandalia were determined that they should retain the Capital
so in the summer of 1836, without authorization, and while the legislature was
recessed, they tore down the old Capitol. In its stead they erected a State House
costing $16,000. This gesture, however, was in vain for with the return of the
General Assembly Lincoln was successful in having Springfield named as Illinois'
new Capital.
Matters then took a very different turn for the proposal was interesting a ris-
ing young lawyer known as Abraham Lincoln who represented Sangamon County.
Lincoln introduced a bill providing for removal of the Capital of Illinois to Spring-
field, and he was backed by eight fellow members who with him were known as
the Long Nine because their aggregate height was 54 feet.
On February 25, 1837, the Assembly passed a bill providing that the Capital
be moved from Vandalia to some place nearer the center of the State and three
days later Springfield was chosen as the new Capital City. Because the Act of
Assembly in 1820, Vandalia was to continue as the Capital until December 1,
1840, but on June 20, 1839, Governor Thomas Carlin issued a proclamation that
all State records be removed to Springfield by July 4, 1839.
The Eleventh General Assembly returned the Vandalia Capitol to the county
of Fayette and the city of Vandalia, and the old State House still stands, though
now again is State property.
The cornerstone of the State's fourth Capitol was laid at Springfield on July 4,
1837. After many delays the building finally was completed in 1853 at a total cost
of $260,000 double its original estimate.
The building occupied the center of the square nearly three acres in extent,
and was constructed of cut stone brought from a quarry six miles away. The build-
ing was considered one of the architectural wonders of the State.
This building is rich in Lincoln associations. After Lincoln became a resident
of Springfield in 1837 he was, of course, one of the regular frequenters of the
State House. In addition to serving in the legislature he appeared and argued nearly
250 cases before the Supreme Court, located in the edifice, and made frequent use
of the State and Supreme Court libraries. In this building he often took public
issue with Douglas, here he made his famous "House divided against itself" speech,
here were his headquarters during his 1860 campaign for the Presidency, and here
finally his remains rested on May 3-4, 1865, before burial at Oak Ridge.
Present State House Planned in 1867
Illinois continued to prosper and gain in population and soon it was apparent
that a much larger Capitol would be needed. The enabling act was passed by the
25th General Assembly on February 24, 1867. This was the fifth of the buildings
owned by the' State and the one in use today.
The old Capitol at Springfield was sold to Sangamon County for $200,000.
The deed was executed October 23, 1869, nearly seven years before the present
Capitol was used. Certain alterations were made to this old building, the most re-
markable one being that of raising the massive two-story structure high off the
ground and while suspended, the present ground floor of the Sangamon County
Court House was built.
43

Ground was broken for the present Capitol, March 11, 1868. Formal laying
of the cornerstone took place October 5th of the same year. Still unfinished,' the
building was first occupied in 1876. Twenty-one years after the Legislature first
authorized its construction, the building finally was completed. Originally construc-
tion costs were limited to $3,000,000, but before completion expenditures amounted
to more than $4,500,000.
The present Capitol, situated on a nine acre plot, is in the form of a Latin
Cross. The circular foundation, 92 Vz feet in diameter, upon which the vast dome
rests, is 25 Vi feet below the grade line, set on solid rock. It is interesting to know
that many feet below runs one of the richest veins of Illinois coal.
The walls supporting the dome are 17 feet thick from the foundation to the
first story. They are built of granular magnesian limestone from quarries of Han-
cock County.
The outer walls of the superstructure are of Niagara limestone, that of the
lower stories from the quarries of Joliet, and that of the upper stories from Lemont.
The extreme length of the building from north to south is 379 feet, and from
east to west 268 feet. The height from the ground line to the top of the dome
is 361 feet, and to the tip of the flagstaff 405 feet, the highest building in central
Illinois. This led to the choice of the State House dome for the installation of the
red beacon which glows through the night as a guidance for pilots. In 1949 the
beacon was equipped with an electronic "eye" which turns the light on when
visibility reaches a certain low — day or night. It used to operate on a clock device
which turned the lights on in the evening and off in the morning, making no pro-
vision for foggy or overcast days.
Capitol Group of Buildings
Since the turn of the century, additional buildings have been erected on or
near the capitol grounds as follows:
CENTENNIAL BUILDING— Cornerstone laid in 1918, completed in 1923.
It was constructed to commemorate the 100th birthday of Illinois as a state of
the Union. Costs were approximately $3,000,000. In this building are located the
State Library, State Historical Library, the Museum, Memorial Hall (where flags
of Illinois regiments are encased), and some state offices.
ARCHIVES BUILDING— Completed in 1938 at a cost of more than $800,-
000. It was designed and constructed to house the valuable historic and semi-cur-
rent record of the State. Its architecture is unique and although it is seven stories,
it contains no windows above the third floor. The building is air-conditioned and is
as nearly fireproof as modern science can make it. At the time of construction,
only two buildings of similar design were in the United States.
ARMORY BUILDING — Situated north of the State House across Monroe
Street stands the Armory building. Here are housed the military branches of the
State. Some offices under the Governor's administration are also located here.
SUPREME COURT BUILDING— Just east of the Capitol. A magnificent
edifice of classic design. It was dedicated in 1908 and cost $500,000. In the build-
ing are the chambers of the State's Supreme Court, Office of the Attorney General
and offices of the Appellate Court.
A network of tunnels connects all buildings.
45
ILLINOIS NEW OFFICE BUILDING— In a ceremony attended by high
ranking state officials, Governor William G. Stratton, on February 15, 1954 broke
ground for a new state office building.
To alleviate crowded working conditions and centralize s^tc offices, the 68th
General Assembly appropriated a total of $12,500,000 or so much thereof as may
be needed, for construction and equipping of an office building for state purposes.
The new building and its adjacent parking area will be situated on a site two
blocks long and one block wide. The building's dimensions will be 381 feet bv
252 feet. The center of the H-shaped building will be eight stories high and the
north and south wings will be seven stories. Basement space will include a cafeteria,
mechanical equipment, storage space and a truck service dock.
A limestone exterior, with granite base and aluminum windows and trim, is
planned. Completely air-conditioned, the building will have 445,020 square feet
of gross floor space with 82 per cent of the space usable; only 18 per cent of the
floor space will be taken up by service facilities such as storage, corridors and
elevators. The imposing new structure will enable the state to consolidate its agencies,
some of which now are scattered in 19 various locations in downtown Springfield
because of crowded conditions in present state buildings.
The General Assembly approved the measure March 25, 1953. This building
also will be connected to the Capitol by an underground tunnel.
Construction of Illinois' new office building officially, began February 15, 1954. Among
those pictured with Governor Stratton (at microphone) are: Mayor John MacWherter
of Springfield; Charles F. Carpentier, Secretary of State; Earl Searcy, Clerk of the
Supreme Court; State Senator Roland V. Libonati; Vernon L. Nickell, State Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction; Latham Castle, Attorney General; Orville Hodge, State
Auditor; State Senator Merritt Little and Edwin A. Rosenstone, Director of Public
Works and Buildings.
