1. Re: DeWitt County History [1]
I knew I'd heard that name before... >From Brink's "History of De Witt County, Illinois" (1882), page 294: One of the peculiar pioneers, infact such as one as we sometimes read about in "border life" novels, was Sylvanius Shurtleff, a native of Vermont. He was a peculiar composition of genius and romance. He was of a restless, roaming disposition, and had lived more of less with the Indians. Indeed, he was initiated and became one of the tribe of the Pottowatomies in 1823. He remained with them f
2. [ILDEWITT] 1830 census [1]
Does anyone have a copy of the 1830 census for Tazewell co. Illinois (which part of became Dewitt) handy? I'm looking for the numbers on the James Scott, Martin Scott, the John Scotts, William Scott, Thomas Glenn, and John Vinson families. I can't find my copy anymore and it's not online anywhere. Thanks! Matt Scott _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Yes, Thank you Bob for taking the time to put that on the list. That was very generous of you. The Samuel P. (Porter) Glenn is mine and also the 2 familes of Scotts.

4. Love thy neighbor? [0.988006]
Some things never change. April 22, 1887 Peggy BARTON is a holy terror in the neighborhood in which she lives, and she has made life so unpleasant for the Wapellicans that there would be a day of general thanksgiving if she would transfer herself and her earthly possessions to some remote locality. Peggy has a neighbor who is very nervous, and it is Peggy's delight to quietly surround the house and fire a volley of brickbats at it. On Wednesday she armed herself with a club almost as big as a fence rail

EARLY SETTLERS OF DE WITT COUNTY The biographies that follow were published in the Clinton Weekly Register, Clinton, Illinois, Friday, April 14, l876, as part of the national centennial celebration. Information was solicited from the subjects themselves. A copy of the paper was furnished by Phyllis Lynch. Sylvanus Shurtleff.

I want to thank all of you for the prayers and best wishes on the behalf of my sister. She has improved by leaps and bounds in the last two days. She may even be on the release list tomorrow. We all know that it was prayer that helped as twice we were told she would not make it through the night and she did. So I owe each and everyone of you. I will try to get going with my work on De Witt shortly. I have a lot of catch-up but will get it done asap. Earliene

My Grandparents, Marion W. GROVES and Louisa JONES, got married in the house of Samuel P. Glenn, in 1881. I don't know if they were related or why? It was signed by a J.P., but GLENN did sign as a witness. J. GROVES-HURT mailto:jhurt2@kc.rr.com
9. [ILDEWITT] Old Pictures [0.988006]
Some time ago, Earliene posted a message about sending old pictures of DeWitt County to the county. I have a new computer and have lost the message.

13. Some wisdom from 1887 [0.988006]
Clinton Public March 4, 1887 Don't be a grumbler. Some people contrive to get hold of the prickly side of everything. To run against all the sharp corners and disagreeable things. Half the strength spent in growling would often set things aright. You may as well make up your mind to begin with that no one ever found the world quite as he would like it; but you are to take your part of the trouble and bear it bravely.

15. Update on Earliene [0.988006]
Dear List; Thank all of you for your prayers. My Sister started waking up last night and spoke her first words. She isn't out of the woods yet but we were grateful for the progress yesterday. I was able to call her family in NH and they could talk to her. We are sure the prayers are helping as the Dr. gave us very little hope that she would ever survive. You have my eternal gratitude.

This is almost too hard to believe! June 17, 1887 An Inhuman Railway Conductor Conductor FINCH, who has charge of one of the passenger trains on the Illinois Central road, between Centralia and Amboy, was guilty last Tuesday afternoon of such inhuman conduct that he ought to be reduced from the responsible position he holds to that of section hand and compelled to use the pick and shovel for the remainder of his life at $1.10 a day. Mr. Andy LATIMER's six-year-old daughter was up at Wapella. On Tuesday
