The success of the Rugg sickle was so marked that the year following its invention, 1847, own- ers of the Hussey and McCormick reapers brought them in to him from all directions to have his sickle put into the Hussey and McCor-

mick machines. This replacement went on from year to year until all the neighboring machines were equipped with the serrated sickle and open guard.

As stated, Mr. Rugg made his first machine in 1845, and two more in 1846. His success with these and the increasing work of putting his sickle and guards into other reapers, induced him to build a shop in Ottawa and to go into the man- ufacture of reapers. In 1847 he brought out a ten-foot push machine, which did so well that in 1848 he built twenty-five of them; but in 1849 he reduced the size to a six-foot two-horse ma- chine. During the '50s he put out several hun- dred a year, and established an excellent reputa- tion for the Rugg reaper, which took several premiums at state fairs and trials, notably the one at Urbana, Illinois, July 22, 1857, but the panic of 1857, the hard times that followed into the breaking out of the war, and his losses south in consequence, caused him to abandon his busi- ness in 1861.

Mr. Rugg was one of the most energetic and enterprising men in this community. He was well posted on all the leading topics of the day, and while not engaged in manual work he would engage himself with his books and papers. It was a source of much regret to Mr. Rugg that he was denied the rights to his inventions, as he always contended, but the proof of his work is unquestionably authentic.

The McCormicks and Deerings being able to weather the storm of 1857, got control of the trade. Mr. Rugg's excellent business failed and because of poor work on the part of his attorney, he failed to secure the patents which he should have had.

RINALDO WILLIAMS.

Rinaldo Williams was the first professional teacher to become county superintendent of schools. Previous to his time business men, law- yers and preachers filled the office. He was first appointed to fill a vacancy caused by the removal of Mr. Wedgwood, a lawyer, who em- bezzled about $10,000. He served from 1871 to 1882. He did much to build up the schools and increase their efficiency.

A complete sketch of his life is given else- where in this history.

HON. ELMER BALDWIN.

PIONEERS FROM 1824-1840.

The facts about the pioneers were gathered by Hon. Elmer Baldwin and published in his History of La Salle County, 1877.

This information is of such value and interest that it should be preserved.
