Foreword
THIS being the one hundredth anniversary of the organiza-
tion of La Salle county and Ottawa's centennial as the
county seat, it is natural that thoughts should turn to the
past, and to recollections of those who once were a part of the
community, but who now reside elsewhere.
Time makes great changes in the physical appearance of a
city, but even more noticeable to a person returning after a
lapse of years are the numerous new faces and the absence of
many old-time friends.
On an occasion such as this, we believe it is an appropriate
time to ascertain what has become of this city's former resi-
dents, so that chums of yore may be reunited, either through
the medium of correspondence or by personal contacts.
The original purpose had been to publish this directory as
a part of a regular issue of the Republican-Times, but in re-
sponse to many requests this special Centennial souvenir edi-
tion has been prepared.
Several months have been spent in compilation of the data
contained herein, and no effort has been spared to make it com-
plete and accurate. To the many who have rendered valuable
assistance in supplying information, the Republican-Times ae-
knovdedges its sincere gratitude.

193] Directory of Former Ottawans
Ottawa, Past and Present
OTTAWA, which now has the distinction of being the larg-
est city in La Salle county as well as the county seat, is
located in a spot of surpassing beauty, at the junction of
the Fox and Illinois rivers.
The city is operated under the commission form of govern-
ment by a mayor and four commissioners, the present city coun-
cil being comprised of Mayor H. J. Hilliard and Commissioners
John F. Bulger, John G. Schumacher, Henry F. Miller and
Walter B. Palmer.
Ottawa has a population of 15,094, according to the last
federal census.
This city was early chosen by the state authorities as an
eligible site for a town along the proposed line of the Illinois
and Michigan canal.
While the city later spread out on both banks of the two
rivers, the original town was laid out by the canal commis-
sioners on December 5, 1830, on the south side of the Illinois
river. This plat extended a short distance across the river to
the south line of the present court house square.
On January 15, 1831, La Salle county was organized and
Ottawa was made the county seat. There was no court house,
the first court being held under trees on the river bank. The
next court was held in a double log house on the south side of
the river. One side of this house was used by the court and the
other by Dr. David Walker and family.
In 1839 Ottawa was incorporated as a village. The records
of this proceeding were burned, thus the names of the first
trustees are not known. During a session of the state legis-
lature in 1852 and 1853 a charter for the ciljy of Ottawa was
obtained and approved by the governor on February 10, 1853.
On the succeeding 3d of May, the first city officers were elected,
William Hickling being chosen mayor.
Among those who became leading men in Ottawa before
1840 may be mentioned :
Dr. Jesse Walker, prominent in that group of itinerant
Methodist preachers and missioners, including Beggs, St. Clair
and Peter Cartwright, came to Ottawa from Virginia in 1825.
He established missions and schools among the Pottawattomie
Indians who, however, in spite of the earnest efforts of mission-
aries, both Catholic and Protestant, remained pagan.
Dr. David Walker, a practicing physician, came to Ottawa
from Virginia in 1826. He and his numerous family played an
8 1931 Directory of Former Ottawans
important part in the settlement and early business of Ottawa.
His son, Wilbur, brought the first keel -boat up the Illinois river
in 1825.
George E. Walker, son of Dr. David Walker, followed his
father to Ottawa in 1827. He was a captain of scouts in the
Black Hawk war and an Indian trader. Indeed his trading
house and the log house used jointly as a court house and resi-
dence were the only two houses in the new settlement in 1831.
Mr. Walker served as the first sheriff of La Salle county.
Col. Daniel F. Hitt came to Ottawa from Ohio in 1830 as
one of a corps of engineers and surveyors locating the route of
the Illinois & Michigan canal. He became county surveyor of
La Salle county. He served through the Black Hawk war and
was Lieut. Col. of the 53d Illinois regiment of volunteers in the
Civil war.
Col. T. Lyle Dicky came to Ottawa from Kentucky in 1831.
He was a veteran of the Mexican war. a colonel of cavalry in
the Civil war and was during one year on the staff of Gen.
Grant. He was U. S. assistant adjutant general from 1868 to
1870. He then removed to Chicago, where he served as corpora-
tion counsel until elected to the supreme bench of Illinois in
1875.
Col. William H. W. Cushman came to Ottawa from Massa-
chusetts in 1834. He was a banker and capitalist, was twice a
member of the legislature and he raised the 53d regiment of
volunteers in the Civil war and was commissioned its colonel.
William Hickling came from England to Ottawa in 1831.
He was Ottawa's first mayor and was the first president of the
First National bank of Ottawa.
Judge Edwin S. Leland came to Ottawa from Massachusetts
in LS35. He became judge of the ninth judicial circuit from
1852 to 1866, and of the sixth judicial circuit in 1873.
Burton C. Cook came to Ottawa from New York in 1835.
He was elected state's attorney for the ninth judicial circuit in
1846 and in 1848. In 1852 he was elected to the state senate
and re-elected in 1856. He was elected to congress in 1864-66-
68 and 1870.
MEMORIALS.
A boulder in Washington park erected by Illini chapter, D.
A. R., bears a bronze tablet commemorating the fact that in
that spot occurred the first Lincoln-Douglas debate August 21,
1858.
A bronze tablet erected by Illini chapter, D. A. R.. at the
north entrance of the La Salle county court house commemo-

nois at its sessions then held in the old court house on the site
of the present county court house.
A sun dial erected by Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Griggs on the
bank of the Fox river at its junction with the Illinois bears an
inscription commemorating the fact that at this point Abraham
Lincoln was mustered out of service as a captain in the Black
Hawk war on May 27, 1832, and that he enlisted on the follow-
ing day as a private in Capt. Elijah lies' company, Illinois
mounted volunteers, serving until June 16, 1832.
At the entrance to Ottawa on the west end of Ottawa ave-
nue parkway stands a white marble colonnade erected to the

descendants.

armory a caen stone fountain to the memory of Robert Cavalier

the memory of those members of the Union army who died of
wounds or were killed in battle in the Civil war.
John Stuart Ryburn Memorial hospital was erected by
his widow in memory of Dr. Ryburn. The King and City annex
to this hospital and King athletic field were both made possible
by the bequests of the late Solomon E. King.

Another memorial erected as part of the Centennial ob-
servance is a bronze marker, placed by the D. A. R., which
marks the site of old Fort Johnston, one of the earliest frontier
forts in this vicinity. This fort was situated on the south bank
of the Illinois river opposite the mouth of the Fox. On May
29, 1832, Gen. Atkinson crossed the river on Dixon's ferry, took
up his headquarters here and established Fort Johnston, named
for Lieut. A. S. Johnston, a member of Gen. Atkinson's staff.
Those who escaped the Indian Creek massacre in the Black
Hawk war made their way down the Fox river in canoes and
took refuge in Fort Johnston.
