In 1898, the various Woodman camps in Ogle county formed a picnic association, and each year since have held a grand picnic at some place in the county. The first picnic was held in Mount Morris in August, 1898, and was a grand success.


ODD FELLOWS.


Elysian Lodge, No. 56, I. O. O. F., is also an organization of consider- able age. It was organized under a charter granted by the Grand Lodge of Illinois, dated July 25, 1849, with the following charter members: George W. Fouke, John F. Grosh, James N. Martin, Daniel Highbarger, Walter Wilson and Emanuel W. Myers. They met in various rooms about town for a time, notably in the second story of the old house now occupied by Daniel Eversole, shown on page 119.


In 1850-52 many of the members of the lodge removed to California and elsewhere, weakening the society to such an extent that, in 1853, the charter was surrendered to the Grand Lodge. November 4, 1874, the lodge was re-organized, and the same charter and books were returned to it. The charter members and gentlemen who procured this re-organ- ization were Henry Sharer, B. G. Stephens, Elijah Lott, G. W. Fouke and W. J. Fouke.


After this second organization the lodge met for a number of years in the room over C. H. Sharer's grocery, later used as the INDEX office. They next rented the room over John Sprecher's store in the Masonic building, now known as Stanley hall. Later they came into possession of a hall of their own in the second story of W. A. Newcomer's residence, upon which they have a lease for ninety-nine years. This hall is spa- cious and is elaborately furnished. They rent it to a number of the other secret organizations of the town.

MOUNT MORRIS: PAST AND PRESENT.


The Odd Fellow lodge is probably in the best financial circumstances of any order in Mount Morris. Besides practically owning their hall they have in their treasury about $1500, accumulated in years past, which they have invested in government bonds and other property.


At present the lodge is not as large numerically as it has been in the past, owing to a number of circumstances, one of which is the forming of a new lodge at Leaf River in March, 1900, which drew away several members. Also many of the members have moved away and been trans- ferred to other lodges. The present officers and members are:


John Muller, Noble Grand Jacob Craley


H. G. Newcomer


Fred Fry, Vice Grand


J. D. Hays


Jonathan Shafstal


Fred Frederickson, Record- ing Secretary L. E. Lizer


H. B. Haney


C. N. Green


George Ziegler


Wm. Miller. Financial Sec- retary


W. E. McCready


J. M. Smith


A. M. Newcomer, Treasurer


Ernest Newcomer


The Odd Fellows meet on Wednesday night of each week. Like the Masons, they are organized not only as a social fraternity, but have pro- vision for financial assistance to their sick or afflicted members, to be drawn from their beneficiary fund.


REBECCAS.


Sandstone Rebecca Lodge, No. 538, was instituted February 14, 1899, by Deputy Grand Master Electo C. Reynolds, of Oregon, with a charter membership of twenty. This organization is the ladies' degree of Odd Fellowship, and like it, has for its object advancement of the social and fraternal spirit of its members. Gentlemen as well as ladies are admitted. The first officers elected were Julia S. Slater, Noble Grand; Laura S. Lizer, Vice Grand; Edna Newcomer, Treasurer; Maude Rowe, Financial Secre- tary; H. G. Newcomer, Recording Secretary.


The charter members of the Lodge who are yet in good standing are:


A. M. Newcomer


Mrs. Anna Rowe


W. E. McCready


Mrs. A. M. Newcomer


Miss Maude Rowe


Mrs. Lizzie McCready


Miss Edna Newcomer

Mrs. Fannie Frederickson


Edward Slater


Mrs. Wm. H. Miller


Mrs. Julia Slater


Mrs. Julia Jimmerson, Leaf River


Miss Lizzie Lizer


Mrs. Harry Knodle


Miss Alice Nale, Leaf River


Since the organization of the Lodge, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fry, John Muller, Mr. and Mrs. Henry B. Haney and Miss Nellie Smith have been initiated and taken in as new members.


The Rebeccas meet on the second and fourth Friday evenings of each month in the Odd Fellows' hall. The present officers are: Edna New- comer, Noble Grand; Lizzie Lizer, Vice Grand; Mrs. Wm. Miller, Treasur- er; Mrs. Sadie Fry, Recording Secretary; H. G. Newcomer, Financial Sec- retary.

SECRET ORGANIZATIONS.


MACCABEES.


Olympia Tent, No. 253, K. A. T. M., was organized May 11, 1899, with twenty-two members. The order very much resembles the Woodman, be- ing an insurance, fraternal and social organization. The Tent has no charter but is working under a dispensation. At present interest appears to be lagging among the members and probably not more than half of them are yet loyal. No meetings are being held, but a part of the mem- bers continue to keep up their insurance.


CHAPTER XIV.


MISCELLANEOUS HISTORY.


THE first settlers of Mount Morris township were not often favored with mail matter and the receipt of a letter, parcel or paper was consid- The ered quite an event. In Peter Knodle's diary, page 31, Mr. Knodle makes a special entry announcing the fact that he Postoffice had " received a pamphlet," which illustrates the import- ance of the receipt of mail matter at that early day. The first regular mails to arrive in Mount Morris were brought in 1839 and 1840 by a stage line run between Chicago and Galena by Frink & Walker. Hon. R. R. Hitt remembers that the stage driver always stopped at his father's house (the old house north of the farm residence now occupied by Gera Watts) to water his horses.


The mails were brought by stage from the eastward for probably nearly fifteen years, until finally the Illinois Central railroad was built through Polo in 1853 and a mail route established from that place. F. B. Brayton, who was postmaster from 1860 to 1881, acquired the stage line between Polo and Oregon in 1864, and carried both mail and pas- sengers from that time until the coming of the Chicago & Iowa railroad in 1871, when it was of course done away with. This stage operated by Mr. Brayton made daily trips between Polo and Oregon, thus affording the Mount Morris people a daily mail. At about the beginning or closing of the school years at Rock River Seminary this stage line had to be in- creased by several additional vehicles, and did a prosperous business.


After the coming of the Chicago & Iowa railroad and the commence- ment of the passage of numerous Illinois Central trains over the line to Chicago, the people of Mount Morris had a very good mail service for many years. Since the Illinois Central trains reach Chicago by another route, the mails have been somewhat less frequent, but sufficient for all purposes, nevertheless. Mails now arrive from the west at 10:28 A. M. and 6 P. M., and from the east at 12: 25 P. M. and 9: 45 P. M. Most of the mail comes in, however, on the 10: 28 A. M. passenger from the west.


A postoffice was first established in Mount Morris in 1841, and Rev. John Sharp appointed postmaster. Mr. Sharp was succeeded by his son- in-law, Frederick G. Petrie. After him, followed for a short time, Hiram Beard; then John Ankney for many years, who was succeeded by Benja- min G. Stephens, followed by Edward Davis, and then Frederick B. Bray- ton, who held that position for twenty-one years, as previously mentioned. Prior to this time the postoffice was usually kept in a store of which the postmaster was generally the owner, and consisted of nothing further

than a box with the necessary pigeon holes and which could, and usually was, moved from one place to another, when the postmastership changed, on a wheelbarrow. It is remembered that John Ankney kept it in his store which occupied an old grout addition to the house on Center street, between Wesley and McKendrie streets, now occupied by John Blecker as a residence. This old grout addition has long since been removed, but the remainder still stands. It is numbered 27 in the view on page 51 of this book. Mr. Brayton, who held the office for so long, was first ap- pointed postmaster by Abraham Lincoln in 1861. He kept the office in his store.


Following Mr. Brayton the succession of postmasters up to the pres- sent time has been as follows: O. H. Swingley, 1882 to 1886; Henry Sharer, 1886 to 1890; Frank Tice, 1890 to 1894; John E. McCoy, 1894 to 1898; Holly C. Clark, 1898 to the present time. In 1894, Mr. McCoy, upon coming into possession of the office, purchased the elegant new office fixtures which are now in use. The case is one of the finest in the county.


Mr. H. C. Clark, the present postmaster, took possession in March, 1898, and will continue in office until March, 1902. It is seen that each postmaster holds over about one and a half years after the presidential election, due to an irregularity made years ago.


Since the Civil War there have been but two Democratic postmasters in Mount Morris,-Messrs. Henry Sharer and John E. McCoy. The re- election of President Mckinley in November, 1900, assures another Re- publican postmaster following Mr. Clark, or Mr. Clark's re-appointment. The salary at present is 81,500, a reduction of $300 over 1899 and several years previous, due to the removal of the Brethren Publishing House. Postmaster Clark is at present ably assisted in the work by Mr. U. C. Nye.


GRAVEYARDS.


The village of Mount Morris has two graveyards, one known as the Mount Morris Cemetery or the " Old Cemetery," situated in the southwest corner of the corporation, and the other, the Oakwood Cemetery, nearly a mile west of the corporation limit.


The Old Cemetery grounds contain about 5 acres, and like most of the remainder of the land now covered by the village, was at one time property of Rock River Seminary. The Seminary authorities set it aside and donated the ground to the community for a public graveyard, and for about sixty years past the site has served as the "silent habitation of the dead."


This cemetery was consecrated on the 2d of February, 1842, when the first burial took place, - that of a little child, the daughter of Captain Nathaniel Swingley. The words of consecration were pronounced by Rev. Thomas S. Hitt, as follows: "Here is our Machpelah, the entrance gate through which we pass the subterraneous road to heaven. Here the rich and the poor meet on a level. Today Mary Eliza, sweet morning flower, retires from all the ills of life, and takes possession first. Fol- lowed by the aged and the young, soon shall we see the willow and the

epitaph tacitly saying: 'See where she sleeps.' Here in peace shall rest the teacher and the student, the minister and his hearers, relatives and their friends, whose graves shall be approached in after times by be- reaved, weeping friends, saying in the language of Scripture, (Where have they laid him?) Then from the polished marble erected where we now stand shall come the response: ‘Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.' 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.'"


This cemetery is situated on rather low ground, and for many years was not in a good condition. It is said that often men were stationed at a newly-made grave, to bail out the water, which flowed in from the sat- urated soil, so that when the funeral procession arrived at the grave, the interment would not seem so much like a burial at sea. This condition was remedied some ten years ago when the ground was thoroughly tiled and an excellent drainage system thereby effected.


The " Old Cemetery " is property of no individuals, stock company or corporation, but is what might be called property of the community. As before stated, it was at an early day property of the Seminary and set aside by the authorities of that institution for the use of the general pub- lic. It being public property in that sense there was, of course, no one in particular authority to attend to it, and as a consequence, when peo- ple died and were buried there, no record of any kind was kept of it other than what can now be obtained from inscriptions on the tomb stones. A great many are to be found marking graves of Mount Morris citizens who died during the fifties, but stones bearing dates earlier than 1850 are not very plentiful, those remaining being small and discolored by age.


The lack of a record of the burials in this cemetery makes it difficult to determine even an approximate estimate of the number of bodies now lying buried within the limits of the grounds, owing to the fact that many have been removed to Oakwood cemetery, and many graves are unmarked. It is thought, however, that a rough estimate would place the number of bodies buried in the cemetery, at the present time, at be- tween four and five hundred. Notable among those who found their last resting place there are Rev. Thomas S. Hitt, who is mentioned as having pronounced the words of consecration of the cemetery; his wife, Emily Hitt; Hon. John Wallace, a noted citizen of this community; James B. McCoy, who built "Old Sandstone"; Andrew Newcomer, and others.


Whenever improvements of any kind were found necessary about the grounds the funds had always to be raised by subscription. With no officers of any kind work of this sort was often sorely neglected. George Shank was for many years the moving spirit in all movements for the improvement of the grounds. Finally, a few years ago, however, a num- ber of people who had buried relatives there, came together and formed an association, elected officers and prepared to conduct the matter in the proper manner. A sum of money was gathered together, with which, besides other improvements, Mr. N. E. Buser was hired to proper-

ly survey and plat the cemetery. Since that time the letting of lots has been done systematically.


The cemetery is at present in very good condition. Probably about half of the persons who die in this vicinity in late years are interred there. The present trustees are W. A. Newcomer, president; S. C. Kinsey, secretary; A. E. Canode, S. R. Blair and O. S. Watts.


OAKWOOD CEMETERY.


Before the "Old Cemetery " was tiled many Mount Morris people were dissatisfied with it as a burying ground, and finally in the year 1875 a movement was set on foot for the establishment of a second cemetery. In December of that year John W. Hitt, David Newcomer, Samuel Look- abaugh, Oliver H. Swingley and John Sprecher applied to the Secretary of State for a license to form a corporation making the following state- ment of their purposes:


1. The name of such corporation is "The Mount Morris Cemetery Association."


2. The object for which it is formed is to purchase a suitable lot or tract of land in the township of Mount Morris, in the County of Ogle, and State of Illinois. and to use the same as a burial ground for the dead.


3. The capital stock shall be two thousand dollars ($2.000), with the privilege of increasing the same to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less.


4. The amount of each share shall be ten dollars ($10).


5. The number of shares two hundred (200) with the privilege of increasing to ten hundred (1,000) or less.


6. The location of the principal office is in Mount Morris. in the County of Ogle, and State of Illinois.


7. The duration of the corporation shall be ninety-nine (99) years.


Books of subscription were opened after the license had been se- cured and the stock all readily taken by thirty-nine of the most promi- nent people of Mount Morris. John W. Hitt took forty-eight shares; D. J. Pinckney, ten shares; and the majority of the remainder, five shares each. The directors elected were O. H. Swingley and John W. Hitt, one year; David Newcomer and John Sharer, two years; Samuel Lookabaugh and Francis W. Stonebraker, three years. The present site of Oakwood Cemetery was finally selected, it being a tract of timber land along the south side of the road, one mile west of Mount Morris, containing fifteen acres, for which was paid the sum of $150 per acre.


This new cemetery was surveyed into regular blocks and lots and put into fine shape. It has since been given the best of care by the as- sociation and is a credit to the community. The present officers of the Association are John E. McCoy, president; T. C. Williams, secretary; C. C. Miles, and S. P. Mumma.


The records of the Association show that there are now buried in the cemetery 239 bodies. The register printed here will no doubt be of in- terest. A number were removed from the Old Cemetery.
