GROVELAND.

Township 29, range 2, constitutes the town of Groveland. It is the southernmost town in the county, and the last settled. With the town of Osage, it lies between the counties of Marshall and Livingston, and when those counties were organized from territory taken partly from La Salle, both of them refused to take the territory included in those towns. So La Salle from neces- sity had to keep it. With the present population and wealth they constitute no insignificant por- tion of the county. In 1855 the town was an unbroken prairie, without an inhabitant. The first house in the town was moved on to the present site of Rutland, and made a section- house on the Illinois Central Railroad. It was made a liquor saloon, and destroyed by a mob in 1865. The railroad was built through the town before it was settled, and doubtless was the agency that developed its resources. Abner Shinn built the first house and Oscar Jacobson occupied it in March, 1855, being the first resi- dent in the town. He left in 1862. The second resident was Elias Frink, and wife, Emily Whit- man, from Onondaga County, New York; he set- tled on S. 22. His only child, W. E., married Orvilla Kenyon, and had seven children. He was a good soldier. The third was Lewis W. Martin, from Indiana; he made an improvement on section 10; sold to Alva Winans and went to Nebraska. George W. Gray located on S. II in 1855, and raised a large family. The fifth settler was William Martin; he pre-empted the northeast quarter section 25. An Englishman by birth, he enlisted in the Thirty-third Regi- ment, and died on his way home from the army ; a bachelor, he left no relatives but a sister, Mrs. Anna Swift, of Bloomington. Nelson Cooper, from Maryland, a carpenter by trade, settled on S. 17. He enlisted in the One Hundred and Fourth Regiment. His wife was Sarah M. Jacobson, daughter of John Jacobson. He was

the Supervisor of the town. John Jacobson, from Germany to Ohio, was a magistrate there; was Supervisor here for several years, and moved to Nebraska in 1869.

An emigration association was formed in Jan- uary, 1855, of about two hundred members, re- siding in the vicinity of Rutland, Vermont. Each member paid ten dollars, and was to have a lot in an embryo city to be located somewhere in the far west. Dr. Allen and W. B. Burns were the locating committee. The present site of Rut- land was selected, being the northwest forty acres on S. 18, and southwest forty on S. 7. The railroad gave the members a preference in the selection of their lands at twenty per cent. discount. W. B. Burns came on the ground in August, 1855; built a house and occupied it in 1856; he was the master spirit of the enterprise and insured its success; bad health induced him to remove to California, where he died in 1875. Willard Proctor and Rufus Weston were the first to select lands under the arrangement with the railroad. John Wadleigh came to the town in the fall of 1855; settled in the village in 1856; was Captain Company I, One Hundred and Fourth Regiment, and had the care of the regiment for awhile; was Postmaster at Rut- land.

John Grove and son, J. M. Grove, came and settled on the west half of section 15, in the spring of 1856. John Grove was the oldest man in the town. J. M. studied law, and was ad- mitted to the bar in Ohio. He held the offices of Assessor and Justice of the Peace and Supervisor.

Esquire Barney O'Neal on the Vermillion, twenty miles away, was the nearest Justice of the Peace; there was no law, yet all was orderly. At the Presi- dential election in 1856, the political excitement reached the infant settlement, and all went twen- ty miles to the house of Alif Goff, near the Ver- million, to vote-all but one voting for Fremont. Groveland was made a town in the fall of 1856. First election was held in April, 1857; W. B. Burns, Supervisor ; John Wadleigh, Clerk; and J. M. Grove, Assessor.

216

PAST AND PRESENT OF LA SALLE COUNTY.

the N. 12 of section 4. The pioneer practice of making claims on Government land had about become obsolete, and a legal title was considered the only valuable one.

The next was Michael Kepner, from Perry County, Pennsylvania, in the spring of 1851 ; he made a claim on S. 16, where he remained five or six years, and removed to Minnesota.

Allen Stevens, from Canada to Du Page Coun- ty, and thence here in 1857.

MENDOTA.

The building of the Illinois Central and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroads inaug- urated the germs of the city of Mendota-and soon filled the town with a busy population. It was known as early as the spring of 1853 where the junction of the two roads would be, and D. D. Giles erected a store, and others followed in quick succession. T. B. Blackstone, resi- dent engineer on the railroad, laid off the the original town of Mendota. The place was fa- miliarly called the Junction, but as the railroad stations located on new territory that were nameless were given Indian names, this name was changed to Mendota, which is the Indian name for junction-meaning meeting, or' com- ing together. O. N. Adams suggested the name, perhaps from his being the owner of the Men- dota Furnace, near- Galena. The Central road was completed to this place in the summer of 1853, and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy in November following. The latter road was built in sections; first, the Military Tract and Galesburg, Galesburg to Mendota, and then the Aurora Extension, connecting with the North- western at Turner Junction.

The increase of population and building up of the town was very rapid, so that in 1855, less than two years from the completion of the rail- road, Town Trustees were chosen and a munici- pal government organized. The village limits were the lines of S. 33. There have been sev-

eral additions since. March 4, 1867, a city government was organized, and city officers chosen on the 9th of April following. The growth of Mendota has been constant and rapid, and it is destined to be a city of no mean proportions. The enterprise and intelligence of the people is shown by their admirable schools and institu- tions of learning, churches, manufactures and trade shown elsewhere.
