Succeeding Rev. Lyman, Rev. S. H. Waldo was in temporary charge of the institution for a few months. Then M. S. Croswell, fresh from Amherst College, was at the head of the school for a short time. He shortened his usefulness by heeding the call of his country, and enlisted in the army, where he served well four years, and when mustered out went to California and is preaching there. His suc- cessor was Mr. Bartlett, who was assisted by Miss Hume and Miss Sarah Andrews.

In the meantime Illinois had perfected her. grand system of free schools-furnishing every child in the State, without costs, schools and school buildings that in many modern comforts and advantages far sur- passed the oldest and wealthiest schools in the country. They were wholly non-sectarian (by some zealous in pious dogmas they were thought to be non-religious, and were sometimes called "Godless schools,') and in small places often the State schools abundantly supplied the public demands, and it was very diffi- cult to maintain private institutions.

The Geneseo Seminary found itself, even with the splendid record it had already made, laboring under great disadvantages in this respect. Its managers had anticipated the future, and a considerable debt was hanging over the institution. The Trustees wisely concluded to merge their school into the pub- lic-school system, and they sold the brick seminary and grounds to the city, to be used as the Public High School, and the Rev. Lyman's and his coadju- tor's labors were not in vain, as their loved institution has been and is still devoted exclusively to the cause of higher education.

The Central School-house was built in 1856, the year the State system of graded schools was put in operation. This building contained four rooms. The next year the Seminary was purchased, and the two buildings at that time gave ample school facil- ities for the village. Prof. Abbott was then the Su- perintendent.

Prof. G. G. Alvord was Superintendent in 1877, and he was followed by Prof. E. P. Burlingame. The last two, when they left Geneseo, by a singular coincidence each went to Cairo and became Superin-

793

HENRY COUNTY.

tendent of the schools there. Burlingame succeeded Alvord there as he had done here.

In response to the public necessity, in the year 1866, the school building, a commodious brick struc- ture, on the north side, was erected, containing four rooms. But the rapidly growing necessities required an addition of two more rooms, which were added in 1871. And it was found to be necessary to have still more room, and the basement of the Unitarian church was procured, at a rental of $200, and fitted up for school purposes.

Thus in 1876, there were three school buildings, and the school property was then valued at $20,000. That year the expenditure for school purposes were $8,191.03. Fifteen teachers were then regularly em- ployed : three in the High School, three in the Grammar Schools, four in the Intermediate and five in the Primary. The enrollment was 1,021; aver- age attendance, 711. Attendance in the High School, 121; Grammar School, 136; Intermediate, 346 ; Primary. 418.

The public schools of Geneseo are not surpassed in the country. There are four elegant school build- ings, furnished with all modern improvements and a corps of able teachers. The total school enrollment is Soo, and there is an average attendance of about 600. There are 15 teachers, distributed as follows : In the High School are Charles Riley, Miss Fanny L. Tee, Miss Abbie F. Steele. Attendance in High School rooms, 60. In grammar room is Miss S. E. Elwell; attendance 60. The other 12. teachers are in the following rooms: In the rooms south are Jennie M. Bliss, No. 6; Mary Entrikin, 5; Ella R. Hanna, 4; Alice R. Rosenstone, 3; Hattie M. Waite, 2; and Ida Whitney, I. In the north rooms are Nelly McCarthy, No. 6; Minnie Bradley, 5 ; Ethel Lambert, 4; Nora Blackiston, 3; Jennie Wells, 2; Tella Worrall, I.

A commendable feature of the public schools is the evident economy the present Board of Education has introduced, and that has not impaired the ef- ficiency of the schools. For instance, in 1882 the total expenses for teachers' hire was $7,840, and in 1885 that was reduced $1,000.

Geneseo Collegiate Institute was chartered by the Legislature as an institution of learning Nov. 21, 1883. The charter directors of the school were J. T. Atkinson, J. A. Sawyer, Thomas Liken, Josiah

Moore, C. T. Powell, J. W. Stewart, J. K. Rekard, S. S. Cryer, T. R. Johnson, J. W. Hosford, I. N. Wilson, W. F. Small, H. Biglow, D. F. Sargeant, Mead C. Williams, N. H. G. Fife, Alexander White, Payson Trask, W. C. Brown, J. B. Moderwell and E. L. Williams.

Incorporators-J. T. Atkinson, W. P. Cook, G. E. Waite, A. White, N. Gaines, Henry Youngs and E. C. Moderwell.

Officers of Board of Directors-Rev. E. L. Will- iams, President ; A. White, Vice-President ; J. B. Moderwell, Secretary; J. A. Sawyer, Treasurer.

B., Latin; Ferdinand Berger, German; Mrs. Gatha Swan, director conservatory of Music; Miss Sarah M. French, drawing and painting.

Although at present a young institution, yet so generously has it been provided for, so generally sup- ported and encouraged by all denominations of Christians and people, who appreciate the advantages of a higher education, that its success is already such that it is entitled to a permanent place among the oldest and best institutions in the State. Its organ- izers and contributors were from the various religious denominations of Geneseo and surrounding country. It is is no sense a sectarian school, but is in the broadest and fullest meaning a Christian school. As an explanation of the wholesonie influences exerted in the institution by the Presbyterian Church, we only deem it necessary to give the following explana- tion as a part of the early efforts to found the school: A petition for " The Board of Aid for Colleges and Academies in the Presbyterian Church of the Unit- ed States " to locate an academy in Geneseo was signed by representatives of different denominations in the city, and the locating of the academy in Ge- neseo was strongly endorsed by the Presbytery of Rock River. The expression of feeling was so unit- ed that the Board of Aid for Colleges and Academies responded by granting $1,500 to the aid of the insti- tution in its first year. The Geneseo Collegiate In- stitute is the first institution organized under the new Board of Aid which has manifested special interest in its continued success. The institute was formerly

794

HENRY COUNTY.

opened with an address on Higher Christian Educa- tion by Rev. H. D. Ganse, D. D., Secretary, Sept. 16, 1884.

It was thrown open to the public a only little more than one year ago, and its first annual catalogue is the complete assurance of the great success it has al- ready attained.

The catalogue shows the following : Complete en- rollment, 181; academic students, 117 ; art, 14; mu- sic, 84.

The Northwestern Normal .-- Foremost among the educational institutions of Henry County is the Northwestern Normal. It is beautifully situated in that part of Geneseo known as Park Villa. Early in the year 1883 the people of Geneseo became very much interested in the enterprise of securing and es- tablishing in their city an institution of learning, which should be at once practical, unsectarian and self-supporting. The project was urged by the lead- ing citizens, met with general favor, and a most lib- eral fund was soon secured for the futherance of the object. A board of trustees, consisting of Messrs. A. Lieberknecht, H. V. Fisher, P. Schnabele, I. R. Wells, W. P. Blackiston, R. Harrington and H. W. Moses was appointed to act in the matter, and opened negotiations with Profs. W. J. Cook and W. J. Stevens, the result of which was a contract be- tween the parties for the establishing of the North- western Normal, and its incorporation and opening on Sept. 4, 1883.

Delightfully situated in the northwestern part of the beautiful " Maple City," removed from the noise and dust of the business streets, surrounded by a large and shaded campus, which extends from Col- lege Avenue to Center Street, are situated the Nor- mal buildings : " The Mansion " and "The College." The former of them was built in 1876 by Maj. James M. Allan, one of the oldest and most respected citi- zens of Henry County. On this spot, his home for many years, he built for himself one of the finest and best appointed residences in Western Illinois, at a cost of $17,000. Here he lived until 1883, when he transferred his beautiful residence and grounds to the trustees as a nucleus for the Northwestern Normal. " The College " was built and furnished in 1884, at a cost above $7,500. The managers expect soon to erect another and a larger brick structure on Col- lege Avenue, to accommodate the needs of their rap- idly growing school.

The Northwestern Normal was incorporated by the State of Illinois in 1883, and during its first year had an attendance of nearly 300 students. Its sec- ond year brought to its doors above 400 students from Illinois and adjoining States. From 10 to 13 instructors are constantly employed, and from forty to fifty classes sustained each term. The school is constantly in session and graduates two classes each year, one in May and one in October. The Bachelor's and Master's degrees of Science is conferred upon all regular graduates. A specialty is made of educating for teaching, business or professional study. Each year, during July, the Annual Teachers' Institute is held and is largely attended by those who are pre- paring to teach. The Normal adds to the trade of Geneseo at least $50,000 per year, besides doing much to elevate the literary, social and moral tone of the city. It is most enthusiastically and heartily supported by all who have experienced its advan- tages.

CHURCHES.

Congregational Church .- As stated elsewhere, the oldest Church connected with the history of Geneseo, is the Congregationalist, as it was organized by the Colonists before they left New York-Sept. 13, 1836. The ecclesiastical council was in Bergen, Genesee County, Rev. Messrs. Wilcox, Hull and Bridgeman, acting. The two Cones, C. K. Bartlett, J. C. Ward and Harry Manville (the last the old survivor, now a venerated citizen of Genesec) and Mary E. and Amanda E. Bartlett, daughters of C. T. Bartlett, and Harriet Cone, constituted the original Church mem- bers. Elisha Cone and J. C. Ward were ordained deacons. The Church thus came with the first Colonists.

At first religious services were held in the differ- ent members, rude and small log cabins, but when the primitive school-house for Miss Stewart's school was erected on the public square, it was also used as a place of public worship.

The first communion was held in the house of Deacon Ward, April 18, 1838. It was a day wel! remembered, by a hail-storm, which broke nearly all the windows in the settlement. The officiating min- ister was Rev. Ithamar Pillsbury, of Andover. In 1838 another school building was erected, which was subsequently removed to the site of the present Congregational Church. This was used for Church

795

HENRY COUNTY.

purposes till 1848, when the seminary building was completed, and was thenceforward used as a house of worship till the erection of the church, in 1855. The church was dedicated May 28, 1856, the sermon being preached by the pastor, Rev. S. H. Waldo. The church was the one still occupied by the Con- gregational body of this city. At the time it was built it was considered the finest church building west of Chicago. The first regular pastor was Rev. Jairus Wilcox, who in May, 1838, came to the colony with his family, and in June was elected pastor, upon a salary of $400. In 1845 he closed his labors here and removed to Chicago, to take charge of the Sea- men's Bethel; in which service he was engaged until called to his reward. After him Rev. William T. Allan supplied the pulpit six or eight months. The next minister was Rev. Addison Lyman, from Con- necticut, who began Oct. 6, 1845. He served for two years, until he entered upon the principalship of the seminary. Rev. C. S. Cady served one year, from Oct. 1, 1848. Rev. A. J. Copeland then served from Dec. 1, 1849, to February, 1852. Rev. J. W. North occupied the pulpit for one year, from Novem- ber, 1852. The next pastor was Rev. S. H. Waldo, who labored three years, from January, 1855. Under his pastorate this house of worship was erected, form- ing a new era in the history of the Church. Next comes the pastorate of Rev. Milo N. Miles, during the two years of 1858 and 1859. Then that of Rev. B. C. Ward for one year and a half. Rev. J. T. Cook, two years, those of 1862-3. During the year 1864, Rev. M. N. Miles served as supply. In May, 1865, Rev. Harry Brickett began his labors and remained seven years. He resigned in 1872, and was succeeded by H. G. McArthur, who occupied the pulpit two years, and was followed by Rev. T. C. Jerome one year. At the expiration of that time Rev. O. W. Fay, was called.

The Sunday-school was begun in the rude build- ing upon the square, in 1837. Its first superintend- ent was Deacon Ward, who continued in this office until his removal from the place, in 1855, except that Rev. John T. Pierce held this office during 1852 and 1853. After him Mr. John G. Walker served two or three years. Then followed Deacon Huntington, Mr. A. M. Hubbard, and Mr. H. Thomas.

Baptist Church .- In March, 1860, Rev. W. G. Johnson visited this place on his way from Rock Island to Princeton. On the 20th of that month a

meeting was held at the Seminary Hall, which was the initial movement to the organization of the Baptist Church of Geneseo. April 14, the or- ganization was effected, the following 23 persons being present : Rev. and Mrs. W. G. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Topping, Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Mc- Cartney, Mr. and Mrs. D. N. Cole, Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Like, Mr. H. Like, Mr. R. V. Amsden, Miss Laura Ann Amsden, John and Matilda Vernon, Delia Frank, Emeline Goss, Sarah Lynch, F. McHose, C. L. Ainsworth, W. B. Johnson, Emma Taylor and Sarah Canlkins.

The pastor, Rev. W. G. Johnson, remained some time, and was succeeded by Rev. E. D. Dickerson. Others who have filled the pulpit are Rev. W. P. Pattison, Rev. A. R. Newton, Rev. Mr. Sharpe and Rev. L. J. Langridge.

The meeting for organization was held in the Methodist Episcopal Church ; afterwards they occu- pied the Seminary Hall till the present church was completed in 1864. The building cost $4,000.

The First Presbyterian Church, of Geneseo, was organized Nov. 2, 1863, by Rev. S. T. Wilson and Rev. David Kelly, both of the Rock River Presby- tery. The building in which the first meeting was held was on the corner of Pearl and Mechan- ic Streets, where the Baptist church now stands. This building is now on the opposite side of the street from the present church and is owned by the Swedish Methodists. These Churches, the Presby- terian, the Baptist and the Swedish Methodist have originated in this little chapel.

The membership of the First Presbyterian Church were Andrew McLain, Geo. W. and Elizabeth Gos- horn, M. S. Boice, R. M. Boice, James N. McCrack- en, Mary McCracken, Chas. W. and Freelove Long, Geo. Rekards, Ann C. Rekards, Mrs. Almira P. Morton, Mrs. Francis Gale, Mrs. C. Mccutcheon and Mrs. Bracken. Four of these are dead, viz. : Mrs. McCracken, Mrs. McLain, Mrs. Bracken and Mrs. Rekards. Six have moved away, leaving six / of the original members here, as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Goshorn, Mr. and Mrs. Long, Mrs. Morton and Mrs. Rekards.

I. W. McCracken was elected first Elder. There was no regular preaching until 1864, when Rev. I. C. Burr, of Malden, came, and he was called in 1865. At the first communion after his call six persons

796

joined, and the growth of the Church was then quite rapid. During his pastorate 126 were received into the Church. It was determined to build a new church in 1866, and the new church was dedicated Feb. 24, 1867, by Rev. S. T. Wilson. The most ef- ficient worker in the building of the new church was Geo. Rekards. This building was 38 x 60 feet and cost about $10,000. Rev. Burr closed his pastorate Sept. 2, 187 1, and went to Alexandria, Pa., where he resides at present. Rev. E. H. Curtis came in 1871, and continued until 1873, when he went to Wauke- gan; is now in Lincoln, Nebraska. After he left the Church was without a pastor for one year and six months, when Rev. A. J. Stead came. He con- tinued until September, 1878. There was then a loss of membership from removals, and gloomy pros- pects were before it. No regular pastor was with the Church again for a few months. Rev. C. H. Purmost was installed May 6, 1879, and at once the interests revived. The Art Loan Exhibition was held and was very successful, the receipts being over $500. With this fund to aid, the building was raised and a lecture room underneath provided. This was completed in 1880. The cost of this improvement was about $2,000.

Mr. Purmost resigned and went to Dakota March 12, 1882. After a few months' candidacy, on Aug. I, 1882, the present worthy Pastor, Rev. E. L. Wil- liams, was installed.

The six Elders elected at different times are,-A. White, J. B. Moderwell, N. F. Small, I. K. Re- kards, George Rekards, dead; and J. WcCracken resides in Colorado. The total membership is 245.

Present church officers-Elders, J. K. Rekards, Alex. White, J. B. Moderwell, Wm. F. Small ; Trus- trees, Wm F. Small, J. C. Entrikin, J. B. Moderwell ; Treasurer, Wm. F. Small ; Sunday-school Superin- tendent, Alex. White; Assistant, J. B. Moderwell.

The Sunday-school was organized in 1865, J. F. Carle, Superintendent.

Protestant Episcopal (Trinity) Church .- In 1856 meetings were held by persons embracing this faith, and in the following year the parish was organized. The first Wardens were : Perry Ransom and George Condish, and the Vestrymen John T. Young, Benj. Graham, William Saunders and John Huestes. Di- vine services were held in various places until the year 1863, when the present house of worship was

constructed after the English style of architecture, costing $2,500.

The following have served the Church as pastors : Revs. Alanson Welton, Samuel Goodale, William Green, P. B. Morrison, Geo. C. Griswold, Dr. Walker, F. B. Nash and T. N. Benedict.

The Unitarian Church .- The members compris- ing this religious society met at first for divine wor- ship in Sawyer's Hall, where in the month of November, 1868, they were organized into a Church. They continued to meet in this hall until 1874, when they erected their present house of worship, costing about $6,000. Rev. M. J. Miller presided at the organization, when 18 members were admitted.

German Methodist Episcopal Church .-- In January, 1860, the first meetings of the Germans belonging to the Methodist Episcopal Church were held in pri- vate houses. Shortly after they were organized into an ecclesiastical body by Rev. William Kammer- meyer, and 23 persons united. The same year the church and parsonage were erected. This church was used until 1874, when another edifice was erect- ed. Among those who served as pastors are, Revs. Kammermeyer, Charles Schneider, Henry Withorn, William Winter, W. Zappen, Gustav Zolman, Fred- erick Arensperger, William Bulke, William Schoerig and Louis Kunz. The number of members is now about 50, and the number of Sunday-school scholars about the same.

The Evangelical Lutheran German Church .-- This Church was organized in 1863, with the following named members: A. Eichhorn, W. Kittenzer, G. Wiegand, A. Wiele, J. Young, L. Hilmer, M. Schuh and J. Hitzer. The church building was erected in 1864, and cost $1,500. The following are among the pastors : E. Sunfstueck, C. W. Ernst, S. Hamm and P. Hanson.

Zion's Church of the Evangelical Association was organized in the spring of 1857. At that time about 15 persons united, and until the erection of their first church edifice, in 1860, held divine service in the houses of its members. That year they erected a house of worship, costing $1,ooo. This they occupied ten years, when, the growth of the congregation de- manding more room, the church was sold and the present larger and more commodious house was erected. The latter cost nearly $6,000.

The Rev. Conrad Speilmann presided at the or-

797

ganization and occasionally preached here, the charge being until 1870 a mission. Among those who have served as pastors are, Revs. John Dengel, Amos Gackley, Enoch V. Freeden, S. E. Heilmann, Conrad Speilmann, John Kurz, Michael Heyl and Martin Stamm. The services were held in the Ger- man language, almost the entire congregation being of that nationality.

The Swedish Lutheran Church was organized at the house of John Gustus, June 27, 1856, with 12 members. Meetings were held in the residences of its members until the church was erected, which was completed and occupied about the year 1859. It cost $700. In 1874 it was remodeled and enlarged, at an expense of $800. The first regular pastor was Rev. Nils Anderson, who came in 1865 and remained until 1869. The following year the Rev. C. J. Malmberg was called, who filled the pulpit six years.

The Swede Methodist Church .- This Church was organized in 1864, by Rev. V. Witting. Services were held at that time in the German Church, and the next year at Moderwell's Hall. After the Rev. Witting left, Rev. A. L. Erickson became pastor. The congregation built a church in 1866. Among the faithful pastors of this Church we find besides the above the names of Revs. O. Gunderson, John Lind, John Wigren and H. W. Ekland.

The Methodist Episcopal Church held its first meetings in the Seminary building. The first organ- ization was effected in 1854 (six members) by Rev. H. J. Humphrey. The first quarterly conference W.is at the house of the preacher in charge, Rev. Humphrey, Nov. 3, 1856 ; Rev. R. N. Morse, Pre- siding Elder; Caleb Ransom, Recording Steward ; Rev. G. C. Woodruff, Secretary. The Pastor's salary was fixed at $436. The original members were: Rev. H. Van Order, Levi Hamilton, G. A. Luvin, D. B. Brown, S. S. Throop and J. A. McConnell.

The first Methodist Episcopal church was on State Street, south, and became afterwards Teutonia Hall. The second and present church is on North State Street, was commenced in 1865, under Rev. H. Ritchie, and completed in 1872, under Rev. Worth- ington, and dedicated by Bishop Bowman in Septem- ber, 1872. It cost $22,000.

HANNA TOWNSHIP.

HE second train of immigrants to arrive in Henry County and "stick stakes " was known as the Hanna crowd. At the second annual meeting of the "Old Settlers," in 1876, a statement as to the details of their coming was made by those who were of the party and are, therefore, the most reliable that it is possible to obtain. The statement was prepared by J. A. Saw- yer, J. H. Sale and F. P. Olmsted from facts fur- nished them by George Brandenburg and P. K. Hanna and probably others of the company. The following is substantially their statement :

In June, 1835, a small party left Knoxville for the purpose of exploring the lands of the adjoining and unsettled portions of Illinois. They visited what is now Henry County. The party consisted of Rev. George A. Colbert, Rev. P. K. Hanna, J. P. Hanna, J. B. B. Tabor, Samuel and Neely With- row. They found the family of Dr. Baker living in a wagon on section 16, near the mouth of Green River-now Colona Township. From this point they followed the Black Hawk trail about 20 miles in a northeasterly direction, camping at what is now known as McHenry's Ditch, in Phenix Township. They then returned to Knoxville, where they re- mained about two weeks. Then P. K. and J. P. Hanna and Robert Land (Land was from Carmi, Ill.) returned to Henry Connty, camping the first night out at White Oak Grove, on Edwards River. From this grove they traveled north, and reached the banks of Rock River in the month of July, 1835. Here they unhitched their team and went into quarters on section 32, township 18, range 2. In their immediate neighborhood were the Winnebago

798

HENRY COUNTY.

Indians. Here they found Earl P. Aldrich and family, who bad come only a few days before. After remaining here in camp a few days and looking around at the country, the party again returned to Knoxville, and after a few days preparation P. K. Hanna, with his family, started for the new home he had selected, arriving at their destination August 13, 1835 (just 50 years ago). This was the first family to settle in what is now Hanna Township, and the fourth family in the county. On the 9th of Septem- ber of the same year came George Brandenburg, from Ohio. He located on section 6, in Hanna Township. Later in the year he removed to section I, in what is now Colona Township, and here, in October, 1836, in company with Mark M. Atkinson, laid out the town of Dayton. Here he erected a log house and moved into it on Christmas Day, and having a real log house he opened what soon became widely known as Brandenburg's Tavern, the first thing of the kind in the county. He was soon ap- pointed postmaster, and in the first tavern was kept the first postoffice, by the first postmaster in Henry County. This house was the first polling place at the first election, June 9, 1837, when the people voted on the question of county organization, and the first county officers were elected, namely : P. K. Hanna, Ithamar Pillsbury and John Browning, Coun- ty Commissioners ; R. Mccullough, Sheriff ; Roderick R. Stewart, Coroner ; Joshua Harper, Recorder; A. M. Seymour, County Surveyor. Here, too, June 27, 1837, was held the first term of the County Court, which appointed James M. Allan County Clerk, and Charles Atkinson Treasurer, and a license was granted to John P. Hanna and George Taylor to keep a ferry at Cleveland.
