U'niversalist .- As early as 1874 a few families who are now counted among the oldest members of this Church, were in the habit of meeting for religious serv- ices in the old brick school-house, now known as the Champlin School. Among the number so mentioned were the Chamberlain, Sawyer, Eddy, Carson and Leach families. At that time there was neither Church nor parish organization, and what preaching was had was given by different ministers, who simply volunteered their services in a field which even then gave abundant promise of soon becoming a well-organized and self-sus- taining parish. On the 22d of November of that year, the first Universalist Sunday-school was organized. There were present on that occasion, Rev. W. H. Ryder, D. D) .; Rev. W. S. Ralph, J. H. Swan, Mrs. G. B. Marsh, Mrs. H. B. Manford, of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Carson, Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Perry, Mr. and Mrs. I. J. Rice, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Stocum, Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Lewis, C. B. Wendell. Mr. and Mrs. Reuben H. Ryder, Miss Farnsworth, Mrs. Mayo, Charles H. Cham- berlain, Mrs. Lucinda Chamberlain, Mr. and Mrs. George 1 .. Eddy, Mrs. C. S. Jennings, and Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Leech. The officers chosen were: G. W. Carson, super- intendent; J. A. Stocum, assistant; C. H. Chamberlain. secretary and treasurer; and George S. Eddy, librarian. On the 29th of the month the first meeting of the Sun- day-schoul was hekl, Rev. W. S. Ralph, of Chicago, preaching his first sermon to the congregation on the same day. In May, 1875. Rev. J. W. Hanson was en- gaged as regular pastor and so continued until in July,

1877, when he was succeeded by Rev. Miss A. J. Chapin, who preached until February of the following year, At that time a union was effected with the Unitarian So- ciety and the place of meeting changed from the school- house to Tillotson's Hall, on Fifty-first Street, During the continuance of this union alternate services were held-that is, Miss Chapin preached one Sunday and Rev. Mr. Sunderland, the Unitarian pastor, the next, and so on. In July, 1878, the "Christian Union," as it was called, ceased to exist, and until September of the following year the Universalists had no regular preach- ing. On the 28th of that month Rev. Miss Florence Kollock, who was then pastor of a church in Blue Island, preached her first sermon to the Englewood So- ciety, and shortly afterward a church organization was formed under the name of the First Universalist Church of Englewood. With the beginning of Miss Kollock's pastorship meetings were held in Masonic Hall until the new church building was completed. In the winter of 1880 the erection of the new house was begun and pushed with such vigor that it was completed by June of the following year, the dedicatory services being held on the 26th of that month. Thus has been traced the growth of this society, from its inception as a sinall body, without organization or pastor, until it has reached its present condition, that of a strong and prosperous insti- tation. It has to-day one of the neatest and prettiest little church edifices in Englewood, a membership of nearly two hundred, and a large and well attended Sun- day-school. The officers of the school are: George W. Carson, superintendent; Mrs. Helen Kreeland and Mrs. Eva Perry, assistants; Charles Chamberlain, George Eddy, librarians; and A. C Hallowell, treasurer. Church officers are: George W. Carson, C. H. Chamberlain, John Vreeland, H. D. Smith, trustees; James Stoddard, treasurer.

St Bartholomewe's Mission of the Protestant Episco- pal Church grew out of St. Andrew's Mission, which was organized by Rev. John Wilkinson in the spring of 1872, and continued to the period of his appointment to the rectorship of a Church at Madison, Wis. Rev. H. C. Kinney succeeded Mr. Wilkinson, and remained in charge until the withdrawal of a majority of the members to the Reformed Episcopal Society. The serv- ices of the Church were resumed Jannary 8, 1882, by Rev. C. Fay. D. D., and Bishop MeLaren reorganized the mission on the 28th of February following, under the title of St. Bartholomew's, with William Kelley and Charles D. Colson, wardens; Engene Fellows, secretary; and William Spinks, treasurer. Rev. Henry C. Kinney took charge of the mission on the first Sunday in De- cember, 1882, at which time the congregation comprised forty-five families. On Easter Day, 1883, the society moved into their new hall on Sixty-fifth Street. The Ladies' Guild of the mission was organized in October, 1882, and has done much toward buikling up and strengthening the society.

The Reformed Episcopal Society was organized Octo- ber 22, 1875, with twenty members, and Rev. N. T. Mc- Cormack pastor. The society's church buikling, located on Cedar Street, was erected in 1881-82, and dedicated April 2 of the latter year. The house, which is a neat and handsome frame structure, is of the popular Eliza- bethan school of architecture, and is as much an orna- ment to the vicinity in which it stands, as it is alike creditable to those by whose efforts it was built. The society has at present a membership of one hundred and sixty persons, and the Sunday-school an attendance of nearly two hundred. Rev. R. H. Bosworth, the present pastor, succeeded Mr. McCormack May 1, 1876.

The Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Church of Engle- wood was organized June 5, 1875, with fourteen mem- bers; Rev. C. O. Lindell pastor from this dateto 1881. The school attached to the Church was established in 1879, with Mr. Johnson, from the Central Swedish School at Rock Island, as teacher. In 1881 Rev. Trid- rick Nebelius became pastor of the Church, succeeding Mr. Lindell, and is to-day in charge. A comfortable church was erected in 1876-77, and the society has since enjoyed a season of uninterrupted growth and pros- perity.

St. Anne's Catholic Church was organized in 1869, at which time Rev. Thomas Kelley, of St. James' Church, Chicago, was appointed priest of this mission. Prior to this time, however, the Catholics of this district had received the attention of the missionaries of the Church. and occasional services were held in Englewood as early as 1860. In 186g the old Jewish synagogue was re- moved from Harrison Street and Third Avenue, in the city, to the corner of Wentworth Avenue and Fifty-fifth Street, in Englewood. It was here dedicated as a Cath- olic church. The following year it was blown down, but under the administration of Father Leyden was shortly afterward rebuilt, and continued to he used as a house of worship until, July 4, 1880, the present house was dedicated. The foundations of this beautiful edi- fice were laid in 1875, but the work of building pro- gressed hut slowly until, 1877, Rev. P. M. Flannigan was appointed pastor of St. Anne's. This worthy gen- theman, with his characteristic carnestness, undertook to complete the work and to build a house which would be a credit to the suhurb, the Church, and the progress of the times. How well he succeeded is best told by the stately Gothic structure which now stands on the notli- ern limits of Englewood, Fifty-fifth Street and Went- worth Avenue, and which was erected at a cost of $30- ooo. The Church has now a large and growing mem- bership, is comparatively free from debt, and under the management of Father Flannigan, and his assistant, Father Gallagher, is one of the foremost religious insti- tutions of Englewood. Rev. P. M. Flannigan, through whose energetic instrumentality the Churchof St. Anne's has made such steady and rapid progress toward a strong and well organized body, is a native of Wayne County, Mich. He came to Chicago in 1865, and was for two years the assistant clergyman at St. Patrick's Church. He was then stationed at the Church of the Holy Name until, 1873. he was given charge of the par- ish of Hyde Park, where he remained until 1877, when he was assigned to his present field of labor.

SCHOOLS,-The first schools were primitive affairs. In 1859 the brick building now standing near the high school was erected. It appears that Ira J Nichols, in disposing of the school section, wisely made such pro- visions as enabled the building of this house; and it is due to his efforts that the nucleus of a building fund was obtained. E. W. Jarrett is said to have been the first teacher.

The school-house on State Street at Sixty-fifth was built at an early day, and was moved to its present site in 1860. Schools taught in it were conducted on the old-time methods ; unceasing study was exacted and corporal punishment was not infrequently inflicted on the pupils for wanton infringement of the rules. It con- tinaed in existence until 1871, when the trustees abolished it, leaving the children who had formerly attended here the alternative of attending the Engle- wood schools or of remaining at home. This action of the board was, at the time, thought by many to have been in a degree unwarranted, but years have proved it

not so, and any bitterness of feeling then engendered has long since died out. Paul Cornell, John Kelly and P'rentiss Law were among the first school directors.

ENGLEWOOD FEMALE COLLEGE .- In 1868 M. M. Tooke came to Chicago, as president of the Rack River College Association, for the purpose of founding a col- lege near the city. He claimed to control a sum of $75,000, and before a meeting held at Englewood he laid down very elaborate plans for building a college at that point under certain conditions. At that time Young. Rawley & C'o. were the owners of the Judd half of Judd & Skinner's plat, and consequently Mr. Rawley favored the enterprise, as well as Lewis, Bronks, War- ner, Nichols, Condit, Bassett, Byrne and other settlers of the district. The college was chartered April 14. 1869, with the following incorporators: J. Y. Scam- mon, B. Lombard, H. O. Stone, -J. B. Sherman, S. A. Briggs, G. S. Bowen, J. V. Farwell, I. W. Beck, J. I .. Gerber, W. E. Phelps. J. F. Eberhart, Z. Coleman, H. B. Lewis, N. T. Wright, Ira J. Nichols, A. G. Warner, W. H. Brooke, Jr., John K. Rawley, D. Burcky, M. M. Tooke and J. F. Keeney Owners of real estate in Englewood were liberal in their donations of hoth land and moneys in aiding the enterprise; but as Mr. Tooke failed to bring to the support of the school the sum he hail promised, the matter was dropped and no further steps taken to secure the much desired institution.

The Englewood High School was built in 1873 under the direction of the trastees-F. W. Springer, Zenas Coleman and H. B. Lewis, with the three extra members elected that year under the new school law. The school cost $30,000, and was opened in the fall of 1873 with W. W. Carter principal.

SociETis, -Englewood Lodge, No. 690, A. F. & A. M., was first organized under dispensation granted from the M. W. G. M. December 17, 1871, and the first meeting was held on the 6th of January, 1872.

The C'hap- ter holds its meetings in Masonie Hall on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month.

Normal Lodge, No. 509. 1. O. O. F., was organized October 14. 1873, with the following named charter members: Benjamin J. Bartlett, George W. Carson, E. M. Jarrett, James M. Ephlin, George W. Sutherland, William Costelon, William May, Myron Imas, P. W. George, George H. Chase, A. G. Warner, E. E. Shedd. The first officers were: B. J. Barrett, N. G .: J. W. Ephlin, V. G .; George H. Chase, R. S .; George W. Carson, P. S .; and E. N. Jarrett, treasurer. From its inception this Lodge has been a thriving and growing institution, amil embraces among its members nearly, if not quite, all of the leading men of Englewood. As a social organization, aside from its value as a charitable association, the Lodge is an important factor in promot- ing the best interests of good society; and for these reasons, its members are justly proud of its character, so fairly won, and are to be congratulated that they have succeeded in building up an institution which commands the admiration and respect of the entire community. The present officers of Normal Lodge are: 1 .. C. Hogan, N. G .; H. W. Cromwell, V. G .; Joseph Moss, secretary; E. C. Gibbs, treasurer; J. W. Betts, warden, and C. S. Thornton, O. G.

B. Wendell, scribe; and C. F. Fair- banks, assistant seribe. Like the subordinate Lodge of the same order, Alexander Encampinent has ever been a growing organization, and from its strength in num- bers and its increasing popularity, is to be placed among the leading organizations of the village. The present officers are: S. A. Danforth, C. P .; Martin Skerrett, S. W .: Joseph Moss, J. W .; E. C. Gibbs, treasurer: W. C. Shaw, deputy: and M. Imas, H. P.

Smith, Charles A. Frank, George Willets, Charles S. ance, and one of the Independent Order of Good Tem- Tewksbury, D. L. Loud, W. A. Sutherland, A. B. Had- plars. The latter institution was organized on the 15th of May, 1883, by Mrs. E. B. Brown, in the parlors of the Temperance Hotel, kept by B. E. Bach. The mem- bers at the organization were J. D), Stone, A. A. Bach, J. Mchain Brown, F. O. Hubert, B. F. Bach, C. E. Condit, J. G. Taylor, W. N. Throop, H. W. Tiemer, and Charles Williams. During the first quarter the following persons were initiated: Mrs. J. D. Stone, Helen Bowen, G. L. Maynard, S. A. Miline, J. M. Robinson, S. A. Robinson, M. E. Robinson, Lizzie V. Dodd, Daniel Gibson, Elfred C. Peterson, and A. Johnson. The offi- cers of the society, which is now known as Pioneer Lodge, No. 268, 1. O.G. T., are J. D. Stone, W. C. T .; J. G. Taylor, W. V. T .; J. McLain Brown, W. S .; C. E. Condit, W. F. S .; B. E. Bach, W. M .; Charles Will- iams, W. G .; F. O. Hubert, W. S .; W. N. Throop, W. C .; and B. E. Bach, lodge deputy. The Lodge is meeting with good success, and has now thirty-five members in good standing. don, Philip Bertines, Myron Imas, Walter De La Matter, Scott Stevens. F. L. Sherman, H. B. Morxon, C. H. Lanyon, 11. W. Thompson, W. H. Underdown, and I'. C. Huntington. The first officers were: C. 11. Love- well, P. M. W .; George Middendorf, M. W .; Edwin Baily, F .; S. C. Marston, O .; W. H. Whalen, F .; J. H. Barlow, R .; and L. C. Hogan, R. This organization, which, as has already been seen, started out with a large membership, has enjoyed a steady and uninterrupted growth from the date of its institution to the present. It now has nearly one hundred and fifty members, and is constantly receiving additions to its ranks from among the very best classes. A prominent feature of this Order, aside from its social and benevolent attractions, is its system of mutual insurance, by which its members can, at a nominal cost, secure for themselves the advan- tages to be derived from a safe and adequate life policy. The present officers of the Lodge are: George Willets, M. W .; W. H. Whalen, P. M. W .; J. A. Cook, F .; A. B. Hadden, O .; J. B. Lanyon, R .; M. Imas, F .; L. C. Hogan, R.

Englewood Council, No. 565, Royal Arcuinum, was organized April 30, 1881. Like A. O. U. W. the Arca- num is a social and benevolent order, and has for its leading feature co-operative or mutual insurance for its members. The charter members of Englewood Coun- cil were D. C. Chase. A. J. Fisher, H. B. Smith, H. W. Thompson, J. E. White, B. B. Redfield, E. Ingalls, James A. Blainie, George Muirhead, F. M. Smith, J. C. Denison. A. H. Champlin, J. B. Henkel, C. H. Love- well, 1 .. C. Hogan, F. N. Barney, 11. W. Fitch and C. S. Redneld. The first officers were L. C. Hlogan, P. R., D. C. Chase and J. E. White, V. R. The present offi- cers are D. C. Chase, P. R., Fletcher Barney, R., J. D. Marston, V. R. All of the above mentioned societies hold their meetings in Masonic Hall, which is situated in Maroney's Block on Wentworth Avenue.

Court Englewood, No. 47, Independent Order For- esters, was instituted November 14, 1883, with the fol- lowing named persons as charter members : H. D. Gal- braith, Ed. D). White, Ernest Pierpoint, C. D. Fairbanks. James H. Willis, John Simmeth, George H. Holding, Thomas Mallory, Richard Cockebeen, James Dolan, Andrew McDermott, Albert Thiernan and W. H. Tous- ley. At the first meeting of this Lodge the following persons were initiated : Don. A. Palmer, Harry Strang, John Dixon, Charles G. Peterson, George R. Scott, A. Shaw, F. G. Dahlgreen, I .. E. V. Pringle, Fred Tiernan, Sr., and F'red Tiernan, Jr. The officers of the society are W. Il. Tousley, C. R .; . E. D. White, V. C. R .; H. D). Galbraith, R. S .; James l'ittaway, F. S .; E. Pierpoint, treasurer and medical examiner; F. Tiernan, S. W .; H. Strang. J. W .; F. G. Dahlgreen, S. B .; L. E. V. Pringle, J. B .; C. D. Fairbanks, chaplain. The society holds its meetings in the hall over the office of the Eye. Al- though a young organization, it is prospering finely, and bids fair to rival in strength and numbers many of its sister societies which have been much longer established.

Temperance Organizations,-Under this head it is certainly fitting to observe that Englewood is to a com- mendable degree a temperance locality. Owing to the opposition of the people against the liquor traffic, and to the fact that a State law forbids the establishinent of a saloon within the radius of a mile of the County Nor- mal School, Englewood is happily freed from the pres- ence of those institutions which are at best only a curse to the community. Englewood has now two temper- ance organizations, one Lodge of the Sons of Temper-

The first mentioned organization, known as Engle- wood Division, No. 62, Sons of Temperence, is also a growing and prosperous body. Officers at present are F. O. Hubert, W. P .; and H. S. Blanchard, R. S.

The Union Veteran Club .- As to the part taken by the township of Lake in the war of the Rebellion, it can only be said that, owing to its being so sparsely settled as compared with its present population, those of its citizens who enlisted in the service were credited to Chicago. Since the close of the war, however, many of the soldier boys from various parts of the country have located permanently within some of its pleasant little vil- lages, and are to-day numbered among its worthiest cit- izens. At Englewood is the Union Veteran Club, made up of ex-sokliers who, taking their places of residence at the date of enlistment, represent half a score of States. This Club was organized February 16, 1880, and had at that time twenty-five members. The 'first officers elected were J. T. Foster, president ; Edward Cecil, vice-president : C. E. Husted, secretary ; Alonzo Miller, treasurer ; C. W. Stinson, marshal ; and C. A. Ensign, Peter Carpenter and C. S. Hunt, trustees.

Early in the year 188t the subject of building a Sol- diers' Memorial Hall was agitated, and after some dis- cussion it was decided that of itself the Club was una- able to untertake the enterprise. Accordingly the Sol- diers' Memorial Association, composed of both citizens and ex-soldiers, was organized, and articles of incor- poration obtained in June of that year. The objects of the association, as set forth in the articles of incorpo- ration, are "the preservation of the memory of the sol- diers and sailors who gave their lives for their country in the late Civil War, the strengthening of the social ties that bind together the veteran survivors of that struggle, and the keeping alive the spirit of patriotism in the community."

Immediately on obtaining a charter, books were opened for subscriptions to its capital stock, which consisted of four hundred shares of Sio each, a total of $4,000. On the 4th of July, 1881, the corner stone of the new building was laid with approved ceremonies, and the edi- fice was completed by the following summer.

The stock is owned mostly by members of the Union Veteran Club; which is also a chartered body, though many public spirited and patriotic citizens of Chicago and Englewood subscribed liberally; some of whom have since donated their stock to the Club.

At the first meeting of the stockholders the follow- ing named gentlemen were chosen directors : H. A. Parker, John E. Vreeland, Robert J. Colburn, Clarence

D. Perry, A. H. Champlin, John W. Rumsey, Jay Inger- soll, Fletcher N. Barney and Jacob T. Foster. These directors then selected the following officers : H. A Parker, president ; John E. Vreeland, vice-president; Robert J. Colburn, secretary ; and C. D. Perry, treas- urer. The present officers of the association are John E. Vreeland, president; Jacob T. Foster, vice-president; Robert J. Calburn, secretary; Fletcher N. Barney, treas- urer.

The present officers of the Veteran Club are Robert J. Colburn, president; W. H. Christian, vice-president; Joseph Hardacre, treasurer; C. E. Ilusted, secretary; W. C. Shaw, corresponding secretary; C. H. Pierce, marshal, and C. E. Callegan, assistant marshal. The society, which now has a membership of nearly one hundred, is in a prosperous condition, which is doubt- less clue to the fact that it is neither political nor sec- tarian in its character, but purely a social organization. Following is the roster giving the names of the mem- bers, also the State of which each man was a resident at the time of his enlistment, together with the name and number of his specific regiment: J.
