THE TOWN OF CICERO. EARLY MERCHANTS.
The first stock of merchandise was exposed for sale at this point in the year 1835. This pioneer merchant was Duncan Hannaman, and his establish- ment was located on what is now the corner of Jackson and Van Buren streets. llis erade was lucrative, and he continued at this stand for about three years. At the end of that time he sold his stork to Ira Kingsbury, and emigrated to Illinois. After a short time, Mr. Kingsbury sold the stock, good-will and all, to Jesse and Ellis Evans, They moved the goods into a building on the next lot wet, where they continued for several years.
The firm of Baird & Beasley first began that competition which is reeng- nized as the "life of trade," by setting up a rival establishment to that of Han- namann, in 1837. They created a frame building at the corner of Main and Jackson streets, which stood the storms notil 1861, and was then destroyed by fire. After a brief mercantile experience, Haird & Beasley sold their stock to Jesse and Ellis Evans, and retired from the context. In 1843, the Evans firm went out of business with a competency. Ellis remained at Cicero until his decease, while desse removed to Illinois. Wooster & Locher bought the Evans stork, and continued the trade in the same building for abont three yours, then sold to Robert Forkner. Two years later, Forkner sold to John Threlkeld, who removed the goods to Acton, Ind. About the year 1846, John D. Cottingham opened a store on Buckeye street, aml subsequently removed to the corner of Jackson and Main streets In 1856, he sold to Neal & Thompson, who removed the establishment to the present site of C. E. Nelson's residence. In 1837, Mr. Neal purchased the interest of Mr. Thompson, and in 1859 sold to Thinmas Leonard Fosse Lutz, another pioneer merchant, opened a stock of goods about the year 1847. His store was situated in what is now known as the Urban property. This stock was sold to William II. Pick- erill, who erected the building now occupied by Good & Bro., and was next sold to Daniel Kemp. Mr. Pickerill then creeted the building occupied at present by the Kinder Brothers, and opened a stock of goods, which he after- ward sold to Hodkins & Samiers, from whom the establishment passed to the hands of G. W. Myers, then to William Neal, from him in Reeves & Sanders, nul from them to the present proprietors, Good & Bro.

In later years, voting precincts were established at Arcadia and Buena Vista as the number of voters in the township increased.
