MARSHALL


COUNTY


1.539


THE MARSHALL COUNTY FLAG was designed to fly below the stars and stripes of our country; therefore, contrasting colors were chosen. The central figures are artifacts taken from the Steuben Township site by Dan F. Morse, anthropologist. The bird in effigy of valuable blue-grey flint is a nearly perfect specimen as is the bowl, a prize find. The swan bone was used to punctate the bowl. These three artifacts represent a culture of our county from 500 B.C. to 580 A.D. The Hopewellian Indians had attained a very high culture of the fine arts. The arrowhosd tells nu of a period 500 years later. From this great ancient Arrival white of the Hopewellian Indians the State of Illinois which 1.ts sesquicentennial this year, came into being. Marshall County was formed in 1839.


In the flag; you see an outline of the boundaries of Marshall County superir :: d on ; n silhouette of Illinois. The living green color of the co ty background represents our many growing crops. The twelve white stars denate our twelve townships: Saratoga, La Prairie, Whitefield, Steuben and Henry, west of the Illinois River; Hopewell, Lacon, Rich land, Roberts, Bell Plain, Bennington and Evans, east of the river.


The design is well balanced due to the shape of our county and the fine work of art.ist. Wilda Russell of Wenona.

THE ZION LUTHERAN CEMETERY


The Zion Lutheran Cemetery is a plot of ground east of Wenona. It is one mile east and a half mile north of Route 17. This ground was donated to the church by Adolph Schwanke in 1902.


119


ST. MARY'S CEMETERY


The land for St. Mary's Cemetery was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Michael Martin with the understanding that they would be buried in the heart of the cemtery, and it is so recorded: "In memory of Michael Martin, born in Caven County, Ireland, 1825; and Bridget Martin, born in Caven County, Ireland in 1827 -- Died in 1914".


Buried in the "heart" of the cemetery are: Father M. J. Clarke, who first held services in Wenona; Tommie, an Irish immigrant, known only as Tommy, and as caretaker; Rev. Daniel O'Dwyer, pastor for thirty-one years; his sister and house-keeper Ellen O'Dwyer; and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Martin, donors of the land.


St. Mary's cemetery, although in LaSalle County, helps record the story of the people of Wenona, and Evans Township. It's land was secured in January of 1892 by Rev. J. J. Smith and surveyed and plotted by D. H. Davison, a surveyor from Minonk, on June 2, 1892. The cemetery was dedicated by the Rt. Rev. J. L. Spaulding, Bishop of Peoria on July 27, 1900 with pastors from Toluca, Mendota, Henry, Spring Valley, Shef- field, Geneseo, and Rutland attending the ceremony.


Burials began in St. Mary's by July 3, 1892 and many of the first burials were of those removed from Reilly's, Richland, Henry, and Black- stone cemeteries on request of families or friends.


Some interesting information can be gained from the records and the death certificates and are worth mentioning. T. J. Judd, grand son of the Sandy pioneer, Thomas Judd, was issued his permit as undertaker in Wenona on January 5, 1902, and his name is on the records of many of those buried in St. Mary's. A Dr. Fogg signed many of the early death certificates, so he must have been the attending physician for quite a period of time. This Dr. Fogg lived in the house now owned by John Deneen; his daughter was the wife of Walter Kemp, now deceased; and his son has become a commander in the U. S. Navy.


Consumption, pneumonia, heart failure, exposure and old age were the listed causes of many deaths. In one month of a winter in the nineties, eight people died of LaGrippe, seven of whom had been born in Ireland. In one month of a summer six children died of cholera morbus, now called an acute gastritis.


At least there were physicians in attendance and proper burials for these people in contrast to the conditions in the early years at Sandy .

WENONA CEMETERY


The Wenona Cemetery is located in La Salle County, a few miles northeast of Wenona but most of its burials and lot owners were or are residents of Marshall County. Burials date back to the 1800's. A deed dated May 15, 1865, Rawley E. Dent, grantor, conveyed land in the "town of Osage, county of LaSalle and State of Illinois ... con- taining, in road and cemetery lot, eight and one-fourth acres," to Bentley Gill, Thomas M. Gill, and Samuel I. Taylor, Esquires, Trus- tees of the Wenona Cemetery and to their successors in office. In 1925 more land was bought, south of the cemetery fence for parking space, and north for roadway. In 1927 four acres to the east were added and part of this has been landscaped and lots are being sold there as very few remain unsold in the older part.


On Sept. 25, 1920 a petition asking permission to form The We- nona Cemetery Association, Incorporated was signed by the following prominent citizens: Chas. Burgess, Sr .; Geo. 0. Hodge, Otis Mont- gomery, Ralph W. Vaughn, Flora J. Woolf, A. L. Turner, Mrs. M. McGill, Geo. S. Monser, Harry M. Taggart, Alfred Helander, Chas. A. Crone, D. H. Gregg, and Ella P. Stateler. It was approved by the State of Illinois and on Oct. 20, 1920 officers of the Board of Trustees were: President, Chas. Burgess, Sr .; vice president, Chas. Crone; secretary Geo. O. Hodge, and treasurer, Harry M. Taggart. Interested persons subscribed amounts up to $1000 each to get a fund started.


It is interesting to compare the present maintenance equipment in- cluding power mowers, trimmers, etc., with the inventory of tools Oct. 31, 1921: One ax $2.75, one hand saw $1.25; two hatchets $2.50, one mattock $2, two scythes and swaths complete $5, two sickles $2, one new lawn mower $12, one long handled shovel $2, two rakes $1.50, two spades $4.50, one fork $1.50, one wrench $1, one screw driver 25¢, two wheelbarrows $12, one heating stove $5, and one grindstone $5; all totaling $60.25 value.


Many improvements have been made since the acquisition of the original land. The devastating elm disease, widespread throughout the land, caused removal of many beautiful trees which have been re- placed by hardwoods. Evergreens add to the beauty of the landscape. These new trees were a gift from a trustee.


A long list of respected citizens gave money and time to put the cemetery on a sound financial basis and the grounds in good condition. Most of them are gone but Louis Colehower who served as secretary-treasurer for 30 years and has been a trustee since 1929, still devotes much time and effort to overseeing the business and maintenance of the cemetery. He is now president of the Board of Trustees, Alphonso Barrett is vice-president and other members are Cliff Stateler, Fred Kuehn, Neal Gregg, Harry Axline and Geo. C. Ball.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY Francis Miles Finch


By the flow of the inland river, Whence the fleets of iron have fled, Where the blades of the grave-grass quiver, Asleep are the ranks of the dead :- Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the Judgment Day :- Under the one, the Blue; Under the other, the Gray.


These in the robings of glory, Those in the gloom of defeat, All with the Battle-blood gory, In the dusk of eternity meet :- Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the Judgment Day :- Under the roses, the Blue; Under the lilies, the Gray.


So, with an equal splendor The morning sun-rays fall, With a touch impartially tender, On the blossoms blooming for all :- Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the Judgment Day : - Broidered with gold, the Blue; Mellowed with gold, the Gray.


So, when the summer calleth, On forest and field of grain, With and equal murmur falleth The cooling drip of the rain :- Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the Judgment Day :- Wet with the rain, the Blue; Wet with the rain, the Gray.


Sadly, but not with upbraiding, The generous deed was done. In the storm of the years that are fading, No braver battle was won :- Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the Judgment Day; Under the blossoms, the Blue; Under the garlands, the Gray.


No more shall the war cry sever, Or the winding rivers be red: They banish our anger forever When they laurel the graves of our dead! Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the Judgment Day :- Love and tears for the Blue; Tears and love for the Gray.
