The first school building in the village of Winnebago was erected in 185S, at a cost of $1,325. The principal who was in command of the school at that time was James Goddard. That building in due time was outgrown and abandoned for school purposes. It was sold and removed "down town" and converted into a blacksmith shop. The building now occupied as a graded school was built in 186S, at a cost of $9,200. The high school furnishes a course of two years.
The first Homoeopathic physician in Winne- bago was Philander Copeland. He came to Winnebago County in 1853, settling in the town of Seward. Afterward he bought a farm in the town of Byron, now known as the Hunter farm. In 1858 he came to the village of Winnebago and built a home, later occupied as a barn by Cyrus Miller. He hung out his shingle and at once began the practice of medicine. He had an extensive circuit as a physician, going west-

ward as far as Forreston, south to Leaf River and north to Durand and Harrison. Dr. Cope- land gave two boys to the Union army. Both enlisted in Company G, Forty-fifth Illinois Vol- unteer Infantry.
Dr. I. O. Paul recently removed to Rockford. Dr. W. S. Howell is now practicing in Winne- bago. He has been succeeded by Dr. R. W. Markley, who removed from Rockford. There, are no dentists in the village.
Alworth, a station on the Illinois Central, receives its mail by rural free delivery from Winnebago. A postoffice was once established at that point, but has been discontinued.
The population of Winnebago Township in 1910 was 1,212. The population of the village was 415.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND SUPERVISORS.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
1836-1850.
From 1836 to 1850 Winnebago County in common with all the other counties in the state, was governed by three commissioners. The following named citizens served in that capacity during the period: Thomas B. Talcott, 1836- 1841; Simon P. Doty, 1836-1837; William E. Dunbar, 1836-1842; Herman B. Potter, 1837- 1838; Elijalı H. Brown, 1838-1840; Ezra S. Cable, 1840-1846; William Hulin, 1841-1844; Spencer Post, 1842-1848 ; Samuel Cunningham, 1844-1847 ; John M. Hulett, 1846-1849 ; Richmond L. Hudson, 1847-1849; Abraham I. Enoch, 1848- 1849.
SUPERVISORS BY TOWNSHIPS.
From 1850 to 1916.
Winnebago County availed itself of the pro- vision of the constitution of 1848, and adopted township organization. Since 1850 the county has been governed by a board of supervisors. By a special act of the legislature in 1865 each ward in the city of Rockford was allowed one
supervisor on the county board. These were formerly chosen at the city election. In 1892 two changes in the law became operative. One provided for the election of assistant super- visors from the city at large, on the basis of population. This largely increased the power of the city on the board. The second change was in the election of supervisors on the day of the annual town meeting, instead of the munici- pal election. In continuity of service Hon. Henry Andrus heads the list. He represented Cherry Valley nineteen years, from 1879 to 1898. The following is a complete list of the supervisors of Winnebago County from 1850 to 1915 :
