The first store opened in the township was about the year 1855, by a man named Walby. It was a frame building, and did not have a very long life. Rhodes' store was the first in the village, and was opened there for business in 1873.


Joshua F. Rhodes was the first acting Assessor for the township. He was elected to the office in 1850. He was also appointed the first Postmaster in the

HISTORY OF KANE COUNTY.


vicinity of Big Rock Village, in 1861. He kept the post office in his own house when first established. J. D. Denny was the first Supervisor of the township, and was appointed to the office in 1850.


A saw-mill was built in 1837, by Coon & Mussy, on Big Rock Creek, just below Rockville (then called Catsville), which continued in active operation for a number of years.


A very large grain elevator was built in 1875, by Maltby & Co., which has always done a very fair business. H. A. Denny, in 1871, put up a wagon shop, and two years later, a good substantial steam feed-mill, which is kept pretty steadily running to supply the demand. A number of other shops were put up in the Fall of 1875.


The road from Aurora to Sugar Grove was laid off by the following Com- missioners, years ago : Joshua F. Rhodes, Thomas Meredith and Ira Hodges. The road staked out at an early day ran directly through Big Rock Township. It passed Cook's house and entered the section of Little Rock.


THE RAILROAD.


The Chicago & Iowa Railroad was completed and commenced running trains through the township of Big Rock in 1871. Since that time, there has been a marked improvement in all the business and resources of that section. Lands have increased in value, the farming interest almost doubled, and a large amount of freights are annually shipped from Blunt Station.


Isaac Hatch was elected Justice of the Peace in 1842, and was probably the first to hold that office in the town. A house built for school purposes in 1844-5 was moved into the township in 1847. It was built of hewed logs, and stood on land now owned by E. Widding. But the first school house in the township was built in 1841, and the first school taught by Colin Ament. This primitive temple of learning was built of rough logs, with a log sawed out for a window, slab door, slab writing-desk, slab seats, slab floor, slab everything, and was raised by a bee of the neighbors, and stood on Rhodes' claim. The present school house in the village was built in 1859, and cost about $1,200. The school records in Big Rock Township, known as Township 38, north Range 6, east of the Third Principal Meridian, are preserved since 1842. In March of that year, the following men were School Trustees : Alexis Hall, Joseph Summers, James E. Smith, Samuel W. Lamson (resigned) and James W. Swan.


At a meeting held March 14, 1842, the township was divided into four school districts, and Directors appointed for each district. The school house in District No. 3 is mentioned in the record as early as 1843, at the July meeting. At that meeting, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted :


" WHEREAS, We, the Trustees of Township 38, North Range 6, East of Third Principal Merid- ian, and of the County of Kane, State of Illinois, deeming it necessary that there should be some by-laws adopted for our regulation, which authority for so doing is implied in the law of the State, therefore do resolve :


" Section 1, etc."

Here follow thirteen sections of iron clad by-laws for the government of this august body, which wind up as follows :


" We do solemnly agree to submit and bind ourselves by the above laws, and to which we do now affix our names and seals this 15th day of July, 1843. Signed,


JAMES SMITH [L. S.] J. W. SWAN [L. S. ] A. REED [L. S. ] A. HALL [L. s.] JOSEPH SUMMERS [L. s.]


A record of the schools in the townships :


For 1841, District No. 1, 29; No. 2, 34; No. 3,50; No.4, 24; total, 137. For 1843, District No. 1, 24; No. 2,35; No. 3, 49; No. 4,24; total, 132. For 1845, District No. 1, 24; No. 2, 39; No. 3, 61; No. 4, 32; total, 156. For 1848, District No. 1, 72; No. 2, 65; No. 3, 49; No. 4, 58; No. 5, 35; total, 279. L. LAMPSON, Treasurer.


The school section was divided into sixteen lots of forty acres each, and sold, the amount it brought being $1,191.20.


On the 5th of April, 1845, on account of the settlements of the vacant sec- tions, the entire township was divided into four equal districts, and were re- arranged in 1846.


Shepard Johnson was a man of intelligence, and a zealous patron of schools. The records kept by him are unusually correct.


In 1856, there were in the township seven school districts. And in 1864, there were in the town 383 children entitled to school privileges. In 1869, there were 400 children in the town under twenty-one years.


THE CHURCHES.


In the township of Big Rock are the Welsh Congregational and English, and the Baptist. The Welsh Congregational Church was dedicated in 1854, the Rev. John Daniel being the first Pastor. In 1842-3, George Lewis, who lived on land now owned by John Whiddon, preached for about two years there. The church had but 13 members, when first organized in Mr. Pierce's house, by the Rev. Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Morris, about the year 1853. Now it has about 30 members. In 1858, a division occurred in the church, and the Congrega- tional Church was formed in Big Rock ; the year afterward, built a church. The preacher and part of the society left the Welsh Church to form a new one. Rev. Mr. Evans was the minister at that time.


The Baptist Church was completed in Big Rock, in the Winter of 1874-5, having been previously moved from west of the village, where it had been stand- ing for many years. It is at present in a flourishing state. Services are held every two weeks and the attendance unusually large. There are 25 names on the roll of membership.


The war record of the township was not quite so good as some of the other townships in the county, but upon the whole, creditable at least. Charles Schryer enlisted as a private in Capt. James Hayden's Company of Zouaves. Re-enlisted in Company F, First Illinois Cavalry, in same year. He after- ward became Captain of Company F of the One Hundred and Twenty-Seventh Illinois Regiment. D. E. Schryer, David Vaughn, Henry Houghtaling, War-

ren, Dick and Henry Colson, all from Big Rock Township, were in same regi- ment. Many others also from this section were in the One Hundred and Twenty-Seventh. The Fifty-Second, Fifty-Seventh and Thirty-Sixth likewise had a few from Big Rock. Schryer commanded the One Hundred and Twenty- Seventh Regiment nearly a year during Sherman's campaign. He was in command at the battles of Jonesboro and Bentonville, and acquitted himself with honor, as well as the brave boys under his command.


BIG ROCK.


The name of Big Rock was the Indian name of the creek, and at the time of township organization in 1848, under Government survey, it was bestowed on the township, a name it has ever since borne. Politically, Big Rock, like the majority of townships in Kane County, is Republican, but was Whig in old times by almost as much of a majority as it is Republican at the present day.


As an agricultural region its soil is rich, well watered and productive. Corn is the principal crop, though other crops are cultivated to a considerable extent.

THIRTY-SIXTH INFANTRY. (Three Years.)


The Thirty sixth Infantry Illinois Volunteers was organized at Aurora, Illinois, in Septem- ber, 1861, by Col. Nicholas Greusel, and mus- tered into United States service by Capt. A. G. Brackett, U. S. A., September 23, 1861.


Sept. 24th, ordered to Quincy, Ill., by rail, and thence to St. Louis, where the regiment was armed. Twenty-ninth was moved to Rolla, where the regiment remained until Jan. 14, 1862. Marched to Lebanon. Remained until February 10th. Entered Springfield on the 13th. Proceeded to Bentonville, Ark., and were engaged in the fight there, March 6th. The regiment was engaged in the battle of Leetown, March 7th, and of Pea Ridge, 8th. Marched via Keitsville, Cassville, Cape Fear, Galena, Forsythe and West Plains, Missouri and Salem, Ark., to Batesville, Ark. Were then transferred to the Department of the Mississippi, and marched, under Gen. Asboth, to Cape Girardeau, Mo. Embarked for Ham- burg Landing, Tenn., and were, on arrival, assigned to Gen. Pope's command. On evac- uation of Corinth, marched to Booneville and back to Rienzi, remaining until Sept. 6th. Moved to Cincinnati, via Corinth, Columbus, Cairo, Odin and Seymour. Moved from Cov- ington, via Indianapolis, to Louisville, and remained until Oct. 1st, when it marched with Gen. Buell's Army, Gilbert's Corps, Sheridan's Division, Col. Greusel's Brigade, the regiment being commanded by Capt. Silas Miller, via Bardstown and Springfield to Perryville, where it met the enemy. In this action the Thirty- sixth lost seventy-five killed and wounded.


Moved thence, via Danville and Lancaster, to Crab Orchard ; thence, via Lancaster, Danville, Lebanon, New Market, Cave City and Bowling Green, to Nashville, near which place it en- camped. The Brigade Commanders have been Cols. Osterhaus, Greusel, Hansendifel and Kno- blesdorf. Division commanders, Gens. Sigel, Asboth, Jeff. C. Davis, Gordon Granger, and Sheridan. Corps commanders, Gens. Cur- tis, Pope, Granger, Gilbert and McCook. De- partment commanders, Gens. Fremont, Hun- ter, Haileck. Grant. Wright, Nelson, Buell and Rosecrans. The Thirty-sixth Illinois was en- gaged in the battle of Stone River, from Dec. 26, 1862, until Jan. 2, 1863, coming out of the action with only 200 men. Says Col. Greusel :


" At daylight on the 31st, the regiment was assaulted by a rebel brigade. under Gen. Weathers, and being supported by the Eighty- eighth Illinois, Col. Frank Sherman, on its left, they were soon driven back to the woods ; but again and again, they were rallied, every time meeting the same fate, until thirty-eight of that fine brigade were all that were left to tell where their rebel comrades had fallen. The Thirty-sixth charged them at the point of the bayonet twice in succession, driving them back. Forty-one of the poor boys lay dead on their faces on less than one acre of ground. The wounded is large, and, in fact, the killed and wounded are the largest in the whole division. At 8 o'clock A. M., 31st., received notice of the death of Gen. Sill, and the com- mand of the brigade devolved upon me. All our brigade commanders were killed. Here it was that Herrington fell. Only half of the division, Sheridan's Third, were left. My brigade went

into action 2,210 strong, and came out 1,008 rank and file. My officers, with one excep- tion, stood their ground. First Sergt. Orrison Smith, for bravery during the battle, maintain- ing his position in the company, although wounded in three places, I made him a Second Lieutenant in front of the whole regiment." " My regiment," continues Col. Greusel, "is in a crippled condition. Only ten officers are left. Nine wounded and taken prisoner by the enemy, one killed, and one mortally wounded."


The Thirty-sixth, as appears from the official report of Lient. Col. Porter C. Olson, bore an honorable part in the battle near Chicka- mauga Creek, on the 20th and 21st September, 1863. Sept. 19th, the regiment, Col. Miller commanding, marched from Pond Springs to Gordon's Mills, a distance of ten miles. At 2 P. MI., went into position, near Gordon's Mills, with one company thrown forward as skir- mishers. At 5 o'clock P. M., fell back to the timber, about 200 yords, and remained during the night. At 4 o'clock A. M., 20th, marched two miles and a quarter to the left, and formed in the second line. At 11 A. M., after some skirmishing, ordered forward to the support of the center. Formed on the brow of a hill un- der a most terrible fire, but in perfect good order, and engaged the enemy fiercely, check- ing his advance. At this juncture the enemy appeared on the left, and, turning the flank, subjected us to a murderous enfilading fire, against which we could offer but little resist- ance. The regiment was ordered to fall back. Gen. Lytle being killed, Col. Miller took com- mand of the brigade, and Lieut. Col. Olson of the regiment. The regiment made another stand, but was overwhelmed by numbers, and compelled to fall back. Marched to , Rossville, and encamped for the night. 21st, in position on the Chattanooga road. 22d, moved into Chattanooga. Mnstered out Oct. 8, 1865, at New Orleans, La., and arrived at Camp Butler, Ill., Oct. 17, 1865, for final payment and dis- charge.
