The eventful day arrived and so did the crowd. The party mounted and again visited each and every place they had gone to the day previous, with the ex- ception of Genoa. The Commissioners said that Genoa was a nice place but too near the north line

of the county to be available. Then Commissioner Walker spoke and informed the crowd that with the concurrence of the other Commissioners (one of them was absent in St. Louis) he should designate the place selected by Major Wharry for the capital of the county. The other Commissioner, Mr. Thurston, who was in close confab with Madden at the time, re- fused to concur with Walker, and advised that the absent Commissioner be summoned. He was asked if he would be present providing the absent man could be got here, and replied that he would not- that he would never come there again. This exas- perated the Major and his friends, and they finally made him say as to which of the different sites vis- ited he preferred ; and, being considerably frightened by the demonstration made, said that if he must, he would say that Wharry's selection seemed the. most favorable. The matter was ended by Walker, who stuck a stake, painted red at the top, near where the court-house now stands, and the crowd drove it four feet into the ground. Afterwards a hickory pole about too feet high was raised on the spot by the Major and his friends, where it stood with colors fly- ing from the top.
Madden continued to fight against the location with all his might, but the people of the county came forth winners. The friends of the Major here were aided by the settlers at the southern extremity of the county on condition that the former should aid them in their desire to be set off and become a part of the county adjoining them on the south, which was agreed to. The support given to the Half-Shire bill some years ago by the people here is said by the Major to have been in consequence of the agreement spoken of, but how this may be we do not pretend to know or to say.
The land tract located by Major Wharry and Mr. Sharer in the interest of the Land Co., after the agreement first entered into by Madden and the Major, embraced two square miles of land with the boundaries as follows : Commencing about one-quar- ter of a mile north of the Roswell Dow place, the west line was run to the south two miles, thence to the east, taking in a portion of Ohio Grove, and which also included the old Indian village, on what is now known as the Tyler farm; thence north two miles, running to the north of Norwegian Grove, and taking in the same, and thence west two miles to the place
of beginning. It will thus be seen by those famil- iar with the section of country embraced within the lines, that the tract included the quarter section upon which the county-seat was to be located, and which is now the Thomas Wood farm. The Major tells us that the tract was marked out with a plow, four yoke of oxen being used and four days being consumed in the undertaking.
Of course the old town north of the river was soon abandoned after the site for the county seat was final- ly determined upon. We have already spoken of Captain Eli Barnes. The Captain is accredited with building the first house in Sycamore, the same being the present City Hotel, then known as the Mansion House. Although the first constructed, the Barnes tavern was not the first house on the ground. A lit- tle wooden building had been moved here from the old Hamlin place, south of here, and was occupied by a Dr. Bassett, the first physician of the place. John P. and Charles Waterman were the first mer- chants. This was in 1839. This year the old court- house was built, which stood nearly opposite the present one, and was a very primitive affair. The next year-1840-the village consisted of about a dozen houses. Among others resident at the time, and whose names are familiar to many of our readers, were E. S. Jewell, D. Banister, Jesse C. Kellogg, Carlos Lattin, L. D. Walrod, Jos. Sixbury, F. Love, and Marshall Stark, The Mayos and other early settlers did not come until a year or two later.
By the way, we asked the Major how he got his title. We supposed he had seen actual military ser- vice; participated, perhaps, in the Black Hawk or some other memorable war, and were anxious to hear him recount his military exploits. But in this we were disappointed. He was only Major of a company organized in the earliest days here for protection against the raids of the banditti of the prairies, who infested this portion of the West. In the same way Marshall Stark got to be Colonel and Eli Barnes Cap- tain. Many now living remember seeing Captain Barnes at the head of Fourth-of-July processions in Sycamore, dressed in uniform, with sword and pis- tols, and mounted on his clumsily caparisoned steed. We remember him well, and it was with a feeling of awe that we gazed upon his stern features, and heard the severe orders as they issued from his lips to those under his command. He has long since been dead.
