Woodstock Is A City Filled With Neighborliness and Cordiality of Social Activities
MUSIC HATH CHARMS; TALENT AND LEADERS MAKE FOR SUCCESS
A historical sketch of Woodstock would not be complete without mention of the musical talent and the musical organizations of the city that have existed since the earliest days.
Up to about the opening of the present century the principal and most conspicuous musical organization was the Spring City band, which had a rather fitful existence from 1885 until the opening of this century. For several years it was directed by Erastus E. Richards, without whose skillful and energetic services the musical life of the city would have been drear indeed, for his chief diversion and exhilaration was in fields musical as choir and band and orchestra leader and as a singer with an impressive tenor voice. He was the inspiration for many musical entertainments and dozens of singers and instrumentalists have felt the thrill of his dominant personality.
The Spring City band of 1895 was composed of E. E. Mead, Geo. W. Field, Fred H. Raymond, H. F. Schneider, Samuel Mills, Michael G. Eckert, Edward L. Hanaford, Alvin Austin, B. A. Wager, Geo. W. Frame, V. E. Jones and George Hyde. There were times when the personnel embraced as many as 26 members. The band of 1886 was under the leadership of Albert N. Soper, formerly of Elgin, and it was under his leadership that the writer of this article was serenaded by this band when he brought his bride to Woodstock in the fall of 1886.
Another band organization in vogue just near the end of the 19th century was called the Little Cyclone, which was organized in 1893, with the following named members: F. H. Raymond, B. A. Wager, Lynn F. Sherman, Del. Olmstead, M. Thomas, Clifford V. Sherman, Elmer L. Stone, Clarence Woodard, Adriel E. Cowlin, John M. Burbank, Willard H. Sherman, Delbert Dirrenberger, Clinton E. Jones, Bart C. Young, William F. Glazier, Robert McDowell and Winifield S. Leidig. Nearly all of these members were under 20 years of age at that time.
Oliver Typewriter Band
At about the opening of the 20th century Woodstock was enjoying the music provided by the Oliver Typewriter band, nearly all of whose members were employees of the typewriter factory, and they were led for some time by John L. Carroll, an efficient bandmaster. This band was so strong and artistic that it was frequently called to go to other cities, particularly to Chicago, to participate in parades and other public gatherings. Its first leader, however, was Burr W. Robbins, who recently passed away in California, where his home had been for many years. Its membership in 1901 embraced C. V. Sherman, P. K. Aldrich, Harry Brubaker, Edwin E. Mead, R. H. Aldrich, L. E. Hinds, Ben. B. Cronk, David Lonie, Luther E. Allen, Ole Simonson, Lynn F. Sherman, Charles H. Doll, Bennett Edmonds, Herman H. Bosshard, Calvin M. Curtis, Fred D. Wynkoop, Earl Ward, Bruce W. Lawrie, B. H. Robbins, Walter C. Besley, Howard Brubaker, Willard H. Sherman, Fred Luehring, Charles Collins, Bart C. Young, A. H. Osborn, Edward A. Rogers, R. Hoeller and Clinton E. Jones. It was a real misfortune to the people of Woodstock when circumstances forced the disorganization of this splendid band, which held its practices in the city hall and which gave concerts of great merit every summer in the city park, where delighted thousands listened to programs that embraced the best music of the greatest composers of band music in the world.
Community High Band
Present-day Woodstock enjoys splendid band music due to the skill of Clarence Olson, a home product, whose intense musical intuition has been given full play as leader and instructor of local school bands that are making their mark among the people of the community and of the state. Perhaps the most outstanding of these bands is that in connection with the local high school, whose summer concerts have been greatly enjoyed, and the Central school and other organizations are being led to the heights of musical accomplishment through his serene, intelligent and artistic leadership. Mr. Olson, who has grown up among us, is a born leader, and his love of the artistic in this line induces him to give of his best in the instruction of those who come under the movements of his baton. Naturally the personnel of these bands varies with changing conditions of residence and other incidents. The work they do and the pleasure they give are striking exemplifications of what can be accomplished with raw talent and unruffled nerve on the part of the leader.
Singers of Note But string and reed music are not the only noteworthy kinds of music that has been enjoyed since the earliest days by the people of Woodstock, for Ave have had vocalists whose fame has been county wide, many of whom now sleep in the fields where eternal melodies of unbroken harmony prevail. As leaders of choirs and choruses we recall Erastus E. Richards, for many years leader of the Congregational and other earlier choirs; Alois Dreyer, who conducted the Presbyterian choir for many years and whose sweet and vibrant tenor voice thrilled all who ever heard him sing, so that he came to be known as "the singing harnessmaker"; James H. Durfee, local express agent for years, who was leader of the Baptist choir for a half-century and whose tenor voice was one to be remembered; Alois Dreyer, Sr., who led the German Maennerchor and had a fine bass voice that was often used in music for the public and in St. Mary's church j choir; Agnes Et Quinlan, leader of St. Mary's choir during a long period, who came to be known as "the local Adelina Patti," whose beautiful soprano voice has been an inspiration to the people during all of her long life among us, and whose vocal excellence and pleasing character have brought to her the love of all music lovers and the people in general; Mrs. Belle Richards McEwan, a sister of Erastus E. Richards, whose melodious soprano; voice was often heard in the Baptist! and other choirs and to whom it was always a delight to listen when she appeared in public entertainment or in the quiet of cultured homes.
And there were Alice Chollar, an early day soprano, and many of later days whose voices have been loaned in the services of song at funerals, in church choirs and in other places, notably the quartet composed of P, B. Anderson, Clarence Coonrad, Thomas B. Merwin and John W. L. Fish, a group of singers who have been together for 27 years and whose melodious harmonies have cheered the bereaved, thrilled the lovers of harmony and delighted audiences by the quality of their productions. Their generosity and kindness have been appreciated by the general public, for their efforts have not been commercial in their nature or mercenary in their character, but they have sung for the (Continued on page two)
Benton Street Before the Civil War [photo]
The above is a picture of Benton street, on the east side of the park. The frame buildings in the picture stood from the present Joslyn block on the left side to the Murphy block on the right side. The stores in this stretch today are the Woodstock Pharmacy, the McHenry County Abstract Company, Stone's Drug store, Bob Miller's Jewelry store, the Thorne & Sons Clothing store. This picture was doubtless taken from Medlar's Gallery, then located on the third floor of the Hoy Block, almost opposite. This row of buildings, was destroyed by fire in 1872 and immediately after rebuilt with the present brick buildings erected, beginning from the bank corner on north in one, two, three order. We have no records which tell us what year this picture was taken, but from the pile of snow it is evident the people were experiencing a rather severe winter. Note the fact that in those days practically all the business houses had wooden awnings. Some of these awnings were none too secure and after a heavy fall of snow it was well to relieve them from the heavy weight.
"Rathole" Building Where State Bank Now Stands Received Its Name [photo]
Along in 1846, or thereabouts, the court house in the public park proved to be not fitted for the use of the county officers, and a building for their accommodation was erected on the corner of Deitz street and the public square, the present site of the State Bank of Woodstock, which was used for county offices until the new court house was constructed. It was built by Henry M. Wait, father of Mrs. E. E. Richards and Mrs. Emily Sherwood. This building was provided with a tin roof to make it fire-proof, according to the intentions of its builders. The year after it was built, so the story goes, along in the winter there came along a heavy wind, which suddenly lifted the roof from the structure and carried it some distance away. The county officers, who were in their ofiices at the time, thinking that the judgment day had arrived, rushed out into the street in great haste. As they came forth they were greeted with derisive shouts by the bystanders, and Henry Petrie, who was an ardent Whig, while the officers were Democrats, exclaimed in great glee: "See the d—d rats crawl out of their holes." Ever afterwards, whenever the building was mentioned on the county records or elsewhere, it was termed the "Rat-Hole," and so it remained until its destruction by fire.
EARLY HISTORY SENECA LADIES' LITERARY SOCIETY Founded To Aid In Saving Mt. Vernon
It is with a thrill of satisfaction to us (the members of the S. L. L. S.) that we discover, in looking back along the years for the beginning of our society, that it had its inception in a patriotic move then abroad in the land. In the early 1850s the old home of George Washington, Mount Vernon, was to be sold. A happy suggestion from a woman's mind, to the effect that it be purchased and held as a public trust, was at once acted upon, and all over the land sprang up Mount Vernon societies, the aim and end of which was to raise funds for the purchase, repair and maintenance of the old Washington home. The ladies of Seneca were not to be left out, and a Mount Vernon society was formed at Franklinville. A constitution and by-laws was formed and accepted, meetings were held semi-monthly, as now. The charter members have long since passed away. Among the names were those of Mrs. T. McD. Richards, Mrs. Lorenzo Parsons, Mrs. Amos Anderson and Mrs. G. W. Dietz. The early records have been lose or destroyed, but we know they were faithful, for in due time the end was accomplished, for in the year 1858 Mount Vernon was purchased, and has since been held in trust by the Mount Vernon association. In the meetings these Seneca ladies had held, there had been much of good cheer and sociability exchanged, and when there no longer existed the cause for which they had labored, they were lothe to discontinue the meetings. A society they were determined to have. Eighty years ago there was much to make such a society difficult to maintain, although the need was greater than today. But where there's a will there is always a way, and the society was continued, even if the ladies were obliged to walk to the meetings or ride in lumber wagons, or, at the best, in a "Democrat." The society was renamed and another object sought. So The Seneca Ladies' Literary Society, with the founding of a library its object, came into being. Libraries were not to be met with every day in those times, and they were well repaid for the effort it cost them, through the books that thus came into their homes. The little circle grew, and each year added a few books to the loved library, until another call for patriotic service came. Out from many quiet homes in Seneca, brave, precious boys in blue had gone, some to return in a few months in a vain hope that home and mother would recruit the failing strength, others to answer on the battlefield the last call to arms, still others heaving for weary months their burden in camp or prison. Mothers and sisters at home gladly put away all thought of added pleasure for themselves, if only they could do something for their suffering dear ones so far away from home and comfort. The present officers of the S.L.L.S. are: President—Mrs. Chas. Hobe. Vice-President—Mrs. Harry Silliman. Secretary—Mrs. Lester Perkins. Treasurer—Mrs. Henry Burmeister. Organist—Mrs. Cole Peterson. Ass't. Organist—Mrs. W. N. Sherwin.

And we must mention Mrs. Lizzie Quinlan Ennis, who sang beautifully with her sister, Agnes; Miss Lillian Schroeder and her beautiful soprano voice as she used it in the service of the bereaved and on other public occasions; Adele Medlar, whose resonant voice brought her the plaudits of many admiring audiences; Harry Abraham, principal of the high school, whose wide-range voice has often been given public expression to the pleasure of all hearers; William Hubbard, basso profundo, who often sang at public gatherings; and there are dozens of others whose voices have mingled in the service of song in the choirs of the city and at public entertainments and other gatherings and whose services have always been appreciated, among them being Mrs. Mary Murphy Thomas, Mrs. Augusta Bagley, Mrs. Anna McLaughlin, Miss Georgie Eckert, Mrs. Alice Losee Floyd, Frank Gates. Fremont Hoy, and dozens of others whom it is not possible to mention individually in this review. Among the instructors, conductors and accompanists in music who are remembered gratefully are Miss Agnes Quinlan, Mrs. Olive Owen Wright, Mrs. Sadie Dufield Murphy, Mrs. Lizzie Dufield Sanford, Mrs. Ella Loudenbeck Herman, Mrs. Ethel Greenleaf, Mrs. Jessie Murphey Charles, Miss Carrie B. Lawson, Mrs. Kathryn Diehl and Miss Louise Jung, one of the youngest in the line of artistic performers who have rendered incalcuable benefit to aspiring vocalists and instrumentalists in the city and vicinity. Throughout the years local musicians have participated in many notable musical treats, giving such operettas as "Queen Esther," "The Mikado," "La Pinafore" and many others including the recital of "The Reception," which was given by E. E. Richards, the author and producer, who wrote the words and the musical score and personally conducted the production before an interested and cultured audience, and there have been many others which time and space does not permit us to mention individually.
Symphonic Choir. Another musical organization, perhaps the youngest at the present time, is the Woodstock Symphonic Choir, made up of about sixty local singers. Compensation for their long hours of practice is the joy received under the inspiration of its outstanding leader, Carl Hendrickson, recognized director, violinist, and composer and head of the music department at Todd School for Boys. In addition to its concerts, this a cappella group, now in its fourth year, contributes to many public gatherings.

The lodge has always been in a flourishing condition, as its members have a constant incentive in the great institution at Mooseheart, near Aurora, where thousands of children and homeless mothers have been cared for since its establishment and where the children are not only given a home, but an education and a trade, so that when they leave the institution they are equipped for active work in trade and industries.

Mr. Wright was adjutant of the post during all of its history, which was a conspicuous one in the life history of the city, for no observance of Memorial day would have been complete without the members of the post having charge and marching to the cemeteries to decorate the graves of comrades until depletions by death caused the dissolution of the post, of which Mr. Wright is now the only surviving member. A. S. Wright and David Shales are the only surviving Civil War veterans in this community.

Corps No. 223 was organized in January, 1893, and has always been a very active organization to whom credit goes for the beautiful monument to the soldier dead that ornaments and embellishes the public park, the raising of the money for which required months, even years, of supreme effort on the part of every member, marking an accomplishment without a superior in the history of the city.

Please call on the printers And do not refuse To subscribe for their papers And get all the news. You never'll regret it, The price is so small, To call on the printers And subscribe for them all. Yes, study your interests And show yourselves wise, And say to the printers,
"I will advertise."
We must not forget Our new city band, On public occasions It's always on hand. Man made the lawyer, The clerk and physician, But none less than God Could make the musician. It's music's inspiring And is always grand So we'll give three cheers For our new city band.
And now, my good friends, I will close this ditty, As I expect soon
To leave your fine city. So I bid all farewell Until we meet again,
In that happy land Free from sin and pain.
JOHN F. BUNKER.
Mr. Bunker passed away on Jan. 16, 1892, aged 88 years.
Once Declined Decoration
Sainte-Beuve, the famous French writer of last century, was so conscientious as to once decline the Cross of the Legion of Honor because he felt that it was offered him not so much for his literary merit as because several of his personal friends were high in power and they had got it for him.
BEAUTIFUL CITY OF THE DEAD FAITHFULLY CARED FOR AND IMPROVED
Previous to the year 1859 the Woodstock village buring-ground was located on the land now occupied by the former residence of Mrs. Mary Avery on South street. In May of that year the village board appointed a committee of three to act with an additional six from the general public to select a new site for a cemetery, and this committee selected the present grounds, at the west end of Jackson street, which were originally purchased for $1,000, and most of the bodies in the old cemetery were moved thereto.
Organized in 1885
The new cemetery was allowed to remain without a great amount of care until 1885, when the Woodstock Cemetery association was organized, with the following named as the first directors: John S. Wheat, A. Bourne, George Eckert, E. E. Thomas, A. R. Murphey, G. S. Southworth, Geo. L. Sherwood, R. Diesel and D. Crumb.
The board held its first meeting at the Waverly House on Tuesday, Aug. 11, 1885, and organized by electing John S. Wheat president, Andrew Bourne vice-president, E. E. Thomas secretary and A. R. Murphey treasurer.
The association at once took charge of the cemetery and began work for its improvement and beautification. Twice since then the board has made additions to the grounds, city water has been supplied for keeping the grass and graves and flowers green, and later, through the efforts of a ladies' auxiliary, a beautiful iron fence was erected along the street line.
Since the year 1901 a sexton has been employed, at first only during the summer months, but later for the full year, under the direction of the superintendent. The first sexton thus employed was J. W. Matheny, who did very efficient work until 1918, when he resigned for the purpose of moving to California. His successors, as shown below, have been acceptable men and to them is largely due the beauty and well-kept appearance of the cemetery and its individual lots, especially those whose owners contribute yearly towards the support of the association.
Mausoleum Built
In 1915 an imposing mausoleum was constructed on the cemetery grounds for those who prefer interment in that manner. It is substantially built of cement and marble, with 200 crypts, of which about 150 are already occupied. The mausoleum was built by the International Mausoleum company, who made provision for $1,000 for the care and upkeep of the same.
The association has issued about 50 certificates providing for perpetual care for the lots of those who have paid the fee of $50 for a full lot or $25 for a half-lot, and the money thus received has been placed in a trust fund, only the interest being used in the care fund.
Since the organization of the association the following named persons have acted in official capacities in connection with the same, holding annual meetings each year in March to elect officers and transact the business of the organization: Presidents John Wheat, 85-6.

Calvary Cemetery
Not long after Oakland cemetery was located on the present site the members of St. Mary's organization secured land directly south of and across the street from Oakland, which they denominated Calvary. It is in the name of and in charge of the higher authorities of the church and the local priest, and has been developed to a fine state of beauty. Its handsome monuments and well-kept avenues and graves attract the attention of all who pass that way. A beautiful iron fence of artistic design was installed about 1900.

EARLY SETTLERS OF SOUTH HEBRON WERE STURDY FOLK
Stories of First Days on the Farm
By GEORGE A. HUNT From the earliest recollection of my boyhood there were many things that transpired that were of a great deal of importance from my youthful point of view. The old orchard of 30 acres was a favorite resort, particularly from early spring until late fall. It was a delightful place to hunt bird's nests and from time to time to test the many varieties of apples growing there.
The Red Astrachan, Early Harvest and Sweet Bough were the apples we delighted to munch during the harvest season. We used to bring quite a number from the orchard at a time and hide them in a convenient place in the straw stack or in the oat bin for future delectation. The Wagener, Northern Spy, Yellow Bellflower, Roxbury Russet and Seek-no-further were among the well known sorts of winter apples at that time.
My father, George W. Hunt, and grandfather, A. H. Parker, used to haul load after load of apples to the cider mill to be made into cider and the dooryard fence was lined with barrels of cider, which was made into vinegar to be sold at 25 cents per gallon.
Swimming In Cider
One fall my grandfather had a large tank or cask set up in the cellar for the cider. My father counseled having new hoops made for the tank, but grandfather insisted that some old hoops which he would have welded together would answer the purpose just as well and save expense. There must have been at least 25 barrels of cider put into that cask and everything seemed to be lovely, but the staves swelled, the hoops burst and everything in the cellar went swimming in cider.
It may easily be imagined that the strawberry patch often came under my close observation. The Wilson Warfield, Beder Wood and Crescent were the varieties planted most. It was my privilege also to help pick up the potatoes and I recall that the Early Rose, the Peachblow and the Blue Neshanic were as standard at that time, as the Early Ohio, Irish Cobbler and the Rurals are at the present time.
As to the birds' nests: I used to have contests with my brother, Carlton, to see who could find the greatest number and sometimes we would have a hundred or more that we could show to the folks on a Sunday afternoon. It would be an exceedingly, difficult task to accomplish such a feat now-a-days.
Passenger Pigeons Now Extinct
I have a feeling of deep regret when I realize that the Passenger Pigeons that used to fly so swiftly overhead, are now extinct. They used sometimes to fly in such immense flocks that they seemed to darken the sky. In the fall they would often light down in the oak grove and feed on the acorns and made a beautiful and lively appearance as they did so. I remember hearing my uncle tell of the hunters invading their roosting places in Michigan and slaughtering them by the hundreds with long poles. They would then be shipped to the big hotels in New York City and served on their tables as "quail on toast."
I often recall to mind when as a lad I used, occasionally, to trudge the two and a half miles west to Grandpa Boyds and sit on a bench watching him while he mended my shoes. I can see him now as he sat stolidly at work on his cobbler's bench. I can envision also Grandma Boyd, her body bent way over with rheumatism, a light wrap over her shoulders, a white cap on her head, a cane in her hand and a happy, welcoming smile on her face as she met me at the door. I can hear also her gentle, sweet voice as she opened the door and called to the old dog, "Carlo, Carlo, come in."
Rail Fences Then
I remember well the mile after mile of stake and rider rail fence in use in those days and when I was five or six years old my father began building the rail fences in a straight line, with two posts set close together and the ends of the rails placed one on top of the other between the posts with a wire around the posts near the top to keep them from spreading.
I remember too the old ox yokes, the old cradle for cutting grain and the many ox shoes found around the old granary; also the old ox breaking plow with a beam about ten inches through and ten feet long and capable of cutting and turning a furrow twenty-six inches wide through the tough prairie sod and drawn by six yoke of oxen in the still earlier days. My father kept a flock of about 50 sheep and fed a carload or so every season, and I literally grew up with the sheep. It was my job to watch and drive them in from impending rains and to gather them into the big sheep barn at night.
Bred Registered Sheep
My father started with grade Merinos, but soon began breeding registered stock. His breeding stock was purchased from E. N. Bissell of East Shoreham, Vermont. In the earlier years, before shearing time we used to drive the sheep two or three miles to the creak to wash them. After a few days the wool became perfectly dry and the shearing began. A great many of the early farmers kept flocks of sheep, but about 1866 many began selling their flocks and going into the dairy business.
We kept a few cows, but had no instructions from the health department in the fine art of sanitation and felt it to be very meet and proper that the milk bo kept in shallow pans on shelves in the cellar. Please note that I say "cellar." We had no basements in those days. The milk was skimmed every morning. The skim milk was fed to the calves and pigs and the cream was soured and made into butter. At first the old dash, crockery churn was used and later the square box churn that turned with a crank. The dairy industry continued to increase until by 1901 there were more creameries in operation in McHenry county than in any other county in the United States. Twenty years later there was not a creamery in active operation in the county.
The most extensive Poland China hog breeders in Hebron township were Charles M. Brigham, C. Street & Son and George W. Hunt. We continued the breeding of Merinos and Poland Chinas after father's death, in 1882, and at one time shipped four head of Poland Chinas to Gustav Kaper, Tange Bei Varel, in Oldenburg, Germany.
First School Board
My grandfather, Alvin H. Parker, was a member of the first school board in Hebron township, having for his colleagues Bela H. Tryon and Jacob Gilbert. They raised the money by subscription to build the first school house in the township. This was a frame building located on prairie land owned by A. H. Parker in Section 26, opposite the Parker homestead and one half mile west of Tryon's Corners.
This building was later moved about one mile east of Tryon's Corners and used for a time for school purposes and for lodge meetings. It was afterward fitted up as a residence and occupied by different families, including Perry Wodell. The last one to occupy it was Henry Hoffman, grandfather of the Waiters and Fisher families.
The first teacher who taught in this building was Sabina Parsons, who taught a summer school in 1842. Other teachers were a Mr. Filkins, Gardner Barrows and L. H. S., Barrows.
Among the early scholars in this school were Jeremiah Tuck, Milton Stewart, Thomas, Henry, Eliza and Cornelia Gilbert; Charles H. Tryon, George F. Tryon, Edwin Douglass and Elvira Douglass, who married Gardner Barrows; James F. Parker and Emily S. Parker, who married L. H. S. Barrows; Clarissa E. Parker, who married Edwin Douglass. Mary Louville Parker, who married Geo. W. Hunt, and Ellen Laura Parker,
who married A. G. Hibbard, undoubtedly also attended this school.
A school house was built at Tryon's Corners about 1850, which was attended by the next generation of scholars. I began attending this school in 1868, and Anna Sawyer, a sweet faced girl, was my teacher.
Among the scholars attending this school during my school days were George W. Brown, C. Fred Tryon, Ira B. Tryon, Hattie Tryon, Gus, Jennie, George, Lewis and Henry Vogel; Will, Fred and Betty Hohenstein; William, George, Lewis and Jeanie Burger; Fred, Emma, Linda, Gus and Edna Walters; Lewis, Henry, Fred, Minnie and Louise Fisher; Eva, Norma and Will Hendrickson; Ellen, Mary and Edwin Bigham; Frank and Luella Tryon; Minnie Martin, Will Couth, Anna Ercanbrack.
Boys Play Pranks
Naturally with such a wide-awake company of boys in school it is not to be wondered at that there were many pranks and much mischief divulged in. One summer, while Will Westerman, the teacher, was away at noon, some of the older boys fixed the bell so it would not ring.
We could see from behind the bushes when he came out to ring the bell. The clapper had been wound tightly with cloth and it would not make a sound. Shortly afterward however the bell did ring out with no uncertain sound.
The year prior to my first summer in school, according to very authentic reports, the boys asked the girls to go home and then all climbed up overhead in the school house, through the scuttle hole in the ceiling, using a long bench, which had not been fastened to the floor, for climbing purposes.
It was necessary for one of the boys to stay below to put the bench back in place. He had no way of climbing up and the first suggestion was that he get into the big sheet iron stove. They finally decided this would not do, so he got the broom and two or three of the boys hauled him up. Anna Sawyer was teacher that year also and when she came in she said, "I wonder where those boys are? - I'd like to wring their necks." Then she opened the big stove and looked in. Finally one of the boys who was in somewhat of a cramped position, moved a little and she heard him and of course they were summarily ordered to come down.
Old Time Games
The games played by the scholars in those days are seldom, if ever played by the scholars of this more scientific age. When school was dismissed or "let out" it would be "C'mon boys and girls, let's play Pom Pom Pullaway," or let's play Fox and Geese or, Bruce or I Spy the Wolf or Hela Over or Dixon Game, or C'mon boys let's play Duck Stone, or Crack the Whip, or Mumblety Peg, but woe unto the two or three at the tail end of the whip in Crack the Whip, as they were often thrown headlong; and woe unto him who had to pull the peg in Mumblety Peg as the peg was often driven practically out of sight, you were not allowed to use your knife or hands to dig away the dirt, but had to pull the peg with your teeth.
Among, the teachers remembered in this school were Charles Arkol, Albert Alexander, Anna Sawyer, Mattie Hunt, A. E. Baldwin, William Westerman, Henry Burger, Nettie Wright, Elizabeth Downs, Joe Garrison, Anna Moore.
Learned Morse Code
Along in the early seventies Rob Martin, a relative of the Tryons and whose father and mother lived a short distance north of the Tryon home, was employed as night telegraph operator at Woodstock.
He often visited in the Tryon homes and taught the boys the Morse Code. Ira B. Tryon, who was of an ingenious and mechanical turn of mind, made some wooden telegraph keys and some of us boys made keys also. We learned to telegraph with each other on these crude keys, until about 1874 when Ira Tryon was about eighteen years of age and being encouraged by his uncle, he built a telegraph line from the home of Fred and Ira to the home of their uncle, Charles H. Tryon.
This line was soon extended to the Burger farm and a year or so later my brother, Carlton, and myself, assisted by Ira Tryon, extended the line to our home on the old Parker homestead, christened by my father, Oak Grove Farm. This name was listed among the registered farm names in the office of the circuit clerk at Woodstock in 1908.
This telegraph line was extended about 1878 or '79 to the J. F. Parker farm, which was tenanted by H. E. Douglass and at the same time it was extended, on to the Edwin Douglass farm thus making a continuous line about four miles in length. This line was used for a number of years.
The building and use of this telegraph line did much to develop in us a stronger initiative and gave us a keener sense of the need of a quicker and easier means of communication among the farmers. It therefore undoubtedly had a very potent influence leading up to the organization and development of the farmers New Era Telephone company.
First Mail Carrier
The first mail carrier remembered was Tom Hagerty, who lived on section 33 in Hebron township, across the road north of the farm now owned by William F. Douglass. He carried the mail every Thursday between Greenwood and Woodstock. Mr. Hagerty was an eccentric character. He could neither read or write but would sometimes take a paper, perhaps upside down and read to us very interestingly and amusing items of news. When carrying the mail he would not turn out to let anyone pass but would say, "get out of the road for the United States mail."
At threshing time the farmers borrowed grain sacks from one another and Mr. Hagerty, who worked for Gardner Barrows, would always sort out Mr. Barrows' sacks. He would look at the stenciled name on a sack and say, "G. T. H. X. Y. Gardner Barrows."
The severe cold and deep snow of January and February, 1936, recalled to mind very vividly the unusually deep snows of 1881 and 1888 or '89. The storm of '81, began March 4 and lasted several days, keeping the farmers busy shoveling paths between houses and barns.
After the storm was over the snow became hard enough to walk on and finally became so hard that we could drive right over the fences in any direction.
After the Mail
The first morning after the storm cleared, my father went on foot to Greenwood, which was our post office at the time. On reaching Greenwood he organized a shoveling gang and broke a road through to Woodstock. Louis B. Peatt drove his team hitched to a long sleigh and Elder Young, the Baptist preacher rode with him on the sleigh.
After reaching Woodstock photographer John S. Medlar took their pictures. I can remember just how my father looked as he started out for Greenwood, his long overcoat, his black rabbit skin cap without a visor, and his long whiskers outlined against the snow. Those rabbit skin caps were all the go at that time.
Snow Until In May
The snow did not all disappear until in May. When plowing that spring a strip about two rods wide along the fences had to be left and plowed later. My brother, Carlton, found snow in a gravel pit and made a snow ball on the tenth of May.
After the next very deep snow which occurred about 1888 or '89, the train known as the K. D., running between Rockford and Kenosha, was blocked for two weeks or more.
The cyclone of 1883, which destroyed the house and barn and killed the hired man on the Levi Nichols farm, I do not remember much about, as I did not visit the scene of disaster.
There was a heavy storm of snow and sleet which destroyed the leaves and blossoms on the fruit trees April 23, 1910. I remember the date very distinctly as it was my brother's fiftieth birthday.
South Hebron Cemetery
At a very early date Robert W. Stewart set aside a plot of ground from his farm at the southeast corner of Section 27 to be used as a cemetery. A. H. Parker also set aside a plot of equal size at the southwest corner of section 26 and adjoining the Stewart cemetery. On the 4th of December he deeded this plot to his heirs. This deed was recorded October 12, 1877. This combined cemetery is now known as the South Hebron Cemetery. Perhaps thirty years ago a cemetery association was formed and known as the South Hebron Cemetery association. William Hohenstein was engaged and is still acting as caretaker of the cemetery. The sum of $337 was accumulated and placed in the State Bank of Woodstock under a trust agreement April 5, 1934. It is proposed that this fund be added to until it amounts to at least $1,500 in order to provide perpetual care. The present officers and trustees of the assocation are as follows: President, George A. Hunt; vice president, F. A. Walters; secretary-treasurer, Mary C. Perry; other trustees, Lyle Vanderkarr, W. C. Hohenstein, S. W. Brown, R. W. Stewart and Henry Vogel.
Early Pioneers
During my earlier years I became more, or less acquainted with fifty or sixty of the earlier settlers. Among those whom I remember in the South Hebron community were the Tryon families, Samuel W. Brown, Jonathan Brown, Seymour Whiston, Abner Martin, W. H. Hendrickson, William Fisher, Harley Benedict, August Walters, Peter Burger, Henry Vogel, Robert W. Stewart, John Stewart, William H. Stewart, Uncle John Vanderkarr, Esbon Vanderkarr, Grandpa Boyd, Edwin Douglass, W. S. Ercanbrack, Cranston or Crandall Thayer, Samuel Archibald, George Durkee, Peter Welbon, L. H. S. Barrows, Gardiner Barrows, Thomas Coffey, Lyman Glass, Josh Diamond, George Trow and others whom I do not now recall. A large majority of the pioneer settlers of Hebron township came from New York state, although some came from Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Connecticut and many from across the Atlantic. Many of them were English or of Scotch descent. A good sprinkling also of sturdy German families. While a majority of the early Irish Catholics settled in Hartland, many of them set their stakes in Hebron township. They were hard workers and good financiers and they and their families made good in the field of agriculture.
Many were noted for their wit and for their skill in repartee, as well as for their ingenuity in turning a difficult situation into one accruing to their advantage.
Wagons—Good and Bad
I recall that one, Johnny Spencer, was a great admirer of T. J. Dacy. At one time Mr. Dacy bought a lot of spring wagons that were not up to specifications. One day a representative of the wagon company was in the office and Mr. Dacy was complaining about the wagons when Mr. Spencer came in. "Here," said Mr. Dacy, "is a man who can tell you about the wagons, as he recently bought one."
"Well sir," said Mr. Spencer, I drove home and five of us got in and drove over the plowed ground and it never fazed it."
"Well, Mr. Dacy," said the man "this does not speak very badly for the wagons."
Mr. Spencer then understood the situation and said he, "Well, hold on, but lookit; the next day I throwed in a quarter of beef and the old woman got in and down she went."
Whenever Tom Coffey and Owen Marron met in Woodstock they usually engaged in a friendly tilt and I have marveled greatly at the quality as well as the quantity of expletives and sarcasm used by them in their endeavors to belittle one another.
The construction of railroads through the county from 1854 to 1864 brought many of the Catholic faith who made substantial contributions to the Pioneer life of the county.
We can never know the spirit and toil and hardship of the early pioneers of Hebron, but we do know that a great majority of them succeeded in their efforts to carve out a future for themselves and their families. Their children and grandchildren have been equally successful, whether in the pursuit of agriculture or in other fields of endeavor.
Those Bygone Days
It is interesting and enjoyable, if not really profitable, to join occasionally with old friends in harking back to the old times to relate experiences and swap stories of incidents and happenings of by-gone days. The celebrations of golden weddings, Washington, Lincoln and other birthdays celebration and numerous other commemorative events indicate clearly the interest manifested, not only by the older people, but by the younger ones as well, in the happenings of the old days.
LINDA ECKERT BURGER [photo] This is an old time picture of Mrs. George Burger taken when she was still unmarried. Mrs. Burger was a daughter of Henry Eckert, prominent farmer on Queen Ann Prairie. She was born January 12, 1859, and grew to womanhood on the surroundings by the old memories of the pioneers who came to that locality back in the early forties. She married George Burger and they came to Woodstock, where Mr. Burger was in business for many years. Mrs. Burger was a home loving mother, a kindly neighbor and friend, and her passing on Dec. 29, 1921, brought deep sorrow to her family and a wide circle of friends. Besides her husband she left two children, Mrs. Nettie Burger Baccus and Irwin L. Burger.
SCANLON HAT SHOP

HOME OIL COMPANY
In 1915 G. W. Frame and E. L. Hanaford organized the INDEPENDENT OIL COMPANY, then located in the Old Mill property, east of the Railroad tracks, between East Jackson and East Calhoun streets. In 1917 Frame and Hanaford purchased the interest of the Riecke Bros, in the Home Oil Company, local distributors of Deep Rock Oil and Gasoline Products. In 1919 the business was moved to the C. W. Hill property on Calhoun street, next to the City Hall. In 1921 the present location at the corner of Throop and Judd streets was purchased, and the Company erected one of the first modern "drive in" gas stations in this part of the state. In 1928 Mr. Frame purchased Mr. Hanaford's interest in the Home Oil Company. Mr. Frame died in December, 1929, at the climax of a successful and highly respected business career. Since the death of Mr. Frame the business has continued to grow in volume and in good will of the. community, conducted by Mrs. Alma Frame, owner, and A. R. Battern, manager.

LODGES AND SOCIETIES ARE ACTIVE
Woodstock Is A City Filled With Neighborliness and Cordiality of Social Activities
MUSIC HATH CHARMS; TALENT AND LEADERS MAKE FOR SUCCESS
A historical sketch of Woodstock would not be complete without mention of the musical talent and the musical organizations of the city that have existed since the earliest days.
Up to about the opening of the present century the principal and most conspicuous musical organization was the Spring City band, which had a rather fitful existence from 1885 until the opening of this century. For several years it was directed by Erastus E. Richards, without whose skillful and energetic services the musical life of the city would have been drear indeed, for his chief diversion and exhilaration was in fields musical as choir and band and orchestra leader and as a singer with an impressive tenor voice. He was the inspiration for many musical entertainments and dozens of singers and instrumentalists have felt the thrill of his dominant personality.
The Spring City band of 1895 was composed of E. E. Mead, Geo. W. Field, Fred H. Raymond, H. F. Schneider, Samuel Mills, Michael G. Eckert, Edward L. Hanaford, Alvin Austin, B. A. Wager, Geo. W. Frame, V. E. Jones and George Hyde. There were times when the personnel embraced as many as 26 members. The band of 1886 was under the leadership of Albert N. Soper, formerly of Elgin, and it was under his leadership that the writer of this article was serenaded by this band when he brought his bride to Woodstock in the fall of 1886.
Another band organization in vogue just near the end of the 19th century was called the Little Cyclone, which was organized in 1893, with the following named members: F. H. Raymond, B. A. Wager, Lynn F. Sherman, Del. Olmstead, M. Thomas, Clifford V. Sherman, Elmer L. Stone, Clarence Woodard, Adriel E. Cowlin, John M. Burbank, Willard H. Sherman, Delbert Dirrenberger, Clinton E. Jones, Bart C. Young, William F. Glazier, Robert McDowell and Winifield S. Leidig. Nearly all of these members were under 20 years of age at that time.
Oliver Typewriter Band
At about the opening of the 20th century Woodstock was enjoying the music provided by the Oliver Typewriter band, nearly all of whose members were employees of the typewriter factory, and they were led for some time by John L. Carroll, an efficient bandmaster. This band was so strong and artistic that it was frequently called to go to other cities, particularly to Chicago, to participate in parades and other public gatherings. Its first leader, however, was Burr W. Robbins, who recently passed away in California, where his home had been for many years. Its membership in 1901 embraced C. V. Sherman, P. K. Aldrich, Harry Brubaker, Edwin E. Mead, R. H. Aldrich, L. E. Hinds, Ben. B. Cronk, David Lonie, Luther E. Allen, Ole Simonson, Lynn F. Sherman, Charles H. Doll, Bennett Edmonds, Herman H. Bosshard, Calvin M. Curtis, Fred D. Wynkoop, Earl Ward, Bruce W. Lawrie, B. H. Robbins, Walter C. Besley, Howard Brubaker, Willard H. Sherman, Fred Luehring, Charles Collins, Bart C. Young, A. H. Osborn, Edward A. Rogers, R. Hoeller and Clinton E. Jones. It was a real misfortune to the people of Woodstock when circumstances forced the disorganization of this splendid band, which held its practices in the city hall and which gave concerts of great merit every summer in the city park, where delighted thousands listened to programs that embraced the best music of the greatest composers of band music in the world.
Community High Band
Present-day Woodstock enjoys splendid band music due to the skill of Clarence Olson, a home product, whose intense musical intuition has been given full play as leader and instructor of local school bands that are making their mark among the people of the community and of the state. Perhaps the most outstanding of these bands is that in connection with the local high school, whose summer concerts have been greatly enjoyed, and the Central school and other organizations are being led to the heights of musical accomplishment through his serene, intelligent and artistic leadership. Mr. Olson, who has grown up among us, is a born leader, and his love of the artistic in this line induces him to give of his best in the instruction of those who come under the movements of his baton. Naturally the personnel of these bands varies with changing conditions of residence and other incidents. The work they do and the pleasure they give are striking exemplifications of what can be accomplished with raw talent and unruffled nerve on the part of the leader.
Singers of Note But string and reed music are not the only noteworthy kinds of music that has been enjoyed since the earliest days by the people of Woodstock, for Ave have had vocalists whose fame has been county wide, many of whom now sleep in the fields where eternal melodies of unbroken harmony prevail. As leaders of choirs and choruses we recall Erastus E. Richards, for many years leader of the Congregational and other earlier choirs; Alois Dreyer, who conducted the Presbyterian choir for many years and whose sweet and vibrant tenor voice thrilled all who ever heard him sing, so that he came to be known as "the singing harnessmaker"; James H. Durfee, local express agent for years, who was leader of the Baptist choir for a half-century and whose tenor voice was one to be remembered; Alois Dreyer, Sr., who led the German Maennerchor and had a fine bass voice that was often used in music for the public and in St. Mary's church j choir; Agnes Et Quinlan, leader of St. Mary's choir during a long period, who came to be known as "the local Adelina Patti," whose beautiful soprano voice has been an inspiration to the people during all of her long life among us, and whose vocal excellence and pleasing character have brought to her the love of all music lovers and the people in general; Mrs. Belle Richards McEwan, a sister of Erastus E. Richards, whose melodious soprano; voice was often heard in the Baptist! and other choirs and to whom it was always a delight to listen when she appeared in public entertainment or in the quiet of cultured homes.
And there were Alice Chollar, an early day soprano, and many of later days whose voices have been loaned in the services of song at funerals, in church choirs and in other places, notably the quartet composed of P, B. Anderson, Clarence Coonrad, Thomas B. Merwin and John W. L. Fish, a group of singers who have been together for 27 years and whose melodious harmonies have cheered the bereaved, thrilled the lovers of harmony and delighted audiences by the quality of their productions.

The above is a picture of Benton street, on the east side of the park. The frame buildings in the picture stood from the present Joslyn block on the left side to the Murphy block on the right side. The stores in this stretch today are the Woodstock Pharmacy, the McHenry County Abstract Company, Stone's Drug store, Bob Miller's Jewelry store, the Thorne & Sons Clothing store. This picture was doubtless taken from Medlar's Gallery, then located on the third floor of the Hoy Block, almost opposite. This row of buildings, was destroyed by fire in 1872 and immediately after rebuilt with the present brick buildings erected, beginning from the bank corner on north in one, two, three order. We have no records which tell us what year this picture was taken, but from the pile of snow it is evident the people were experiencing a rather severe winter. Note the fact that in those days practically all the business houses had wooden awnings. Some of these awnings were none too secure and after a heavy fall of snow it was well to relieve them from the heavy weight.
"Rathole" Building Where State Bank Now Stands Received Its Name [photo]
Along in 1846, or thereabouts, the court house in the public park proved to be not fitted for the use of the county officers, and a building for their accommodation was erected on the corner of Deitz street and the public square, the present site of the State Bank of Woodstock, which was used for county offices until the new court house was constructed. It was built by Henry M. Wait, father of Mrs. E. E. Richards and Mrs. Emily Sherwood. This building was provided with a tin roof to make it fire-proof, according to the intentions of its builders. The year after it was built, so the story goes, along in the winter there came along a heavy wind, which suddenly lifted the roof from the structure and carried it some distance away. The county officers, who were in their ofiices at the time, thinking that the judgment day had arrived, rushed out into the street in great haste. As they came forth they were greeted with derisive shouts by the bystanders, and Henry Petrie, who was an ardent Whig, while the officers were Democrats, exclaimed in great glee: "See the d—d rats crawl out of their holes." Ever afterwards, whenever the building was mentioned on the county records or elsewhere, it was termed the "Rat-Hole," and so it remained until its destruction by fire.
EARLY HISTORY SENECA LADIES' LITERARY SOCIETY Founded To Aid In Saving Mt. Vernon
It is with a thrill of satisfaction to us (the members of the S. L. L. S.) that we discover, in looking back along the years for the beginning of our society, that it had its inception in a patriotic move then abroad in the land. In the early 1850s the old home of George Washington, Mount Vernon, was to be sold. A happy suggestion from a woman's mind, to the effect that it be purchased and held as a public trust, was at once acted upon, and all over the land sprang up Mount Vernon societies, the aim and end of which was to raise funds for the purchase, repair and maintenance of the old Washington home. The ladies of Seneca were not to be left out, and a Mount Vernon society was formed at Franklinville. A constitution and by-laws was formed and accepted, meetings were held semi-monthly, as now. The charter members have long since passed away. Among the names were those of Mrs. T. McD. Richards, Mrs. Lorenzo Parsons, Mrs. Amos Anderson and Mrs. G. W. Dietz. The early records have been lose or destroyed, but we know they were faithful, for in due time the end was accomplished, for in the year 1858 Mount Vernon was purchased, and has since been held in trust by the Mount Vernon association. In the meetings these Seneca ladies had held, there had been much of good cheer and sociability exchanged, and when there no longer existed the cause for which they had labored, they were lothe to discontinue the meetings. A society they were determined to have. Eighty years ago there was much to make such a society difficult to maintain, although the need was greater than today. But where there's a will there is always a way, and the society was continued, even if the ladies were obliged to walk to the meetings or ride in lumber wagons, or, at the best, in a "Democrat." The society was renamed and another object sought. So The Seneca Ladies' Literary Society, with the founding of a library its object, came into being. Libraries were not to be met with every day in those times, and they were well repaid for the effort it cost them, through the books that thus came into their homes. The little circle grew, and each year added a few books to the loved library, until another call for patriotic service came. Out from many quiet homes in Seneca, brave, precious boys in blue had gone, some to return in a few months in a vain hope that home and mother would recruit the failing strength, others to answer on the battlefield the last call to arms, still others heaving for weary months their burden in camp or prison. Mothers and sisters at home gladly put away all thought of added pleasure for themselves, if only they could do something for their suffering dear ones so far away from home and comfort. The present officers of the S.L.L.S. are: President—Mrs. Chas. Hobe. Vice-President—Mrs. Harry Silliman. Secretary—Mrs. Lester Perkins. Treasurer—Mrs. Henry Burmeister. Organist—Mrs. Cole Peterson. Ass't. Organist—Mrs. W. N. Sherwin.

And we must mention Mrs. Lizzie Quinlan Ennis, who sang beautifully with her sister, Agnes; Miss Lillian Schroeder and her beautiful soprano voice as she used it in the service of the bereaved and on other public occasions; Adele Medlar, whose resonant voice brought her the plaudits of many admiring audiences; Harry Abraham, principal of the high school, whose wide-range voice has often been given public expression to the pleasure of all hearers; William Hubbard, basso profundo, who often sang at public gatherings; and there are dozens of others whose voices have mingled in the service of song in the choirs of the city and at public entertainments and other gatherings and whose services have always been appreciated, among them being Mrs. Mary Murphy Thomas, Mrs. Augusta Bagley, Mrs. Anna McLaughlin, Miss Georgie Eckert, Mrs. Alice Losee Floyd, Frank Gates. Fremont Hoy, and dozens of others whom it is not possible to mention individually in this review. Among the instructors, conductors and accompanists in music who are remembered gratefully are Miss Agnes Quinlan, Mrs. Olive Owen Wright, Mrs. Sadie Dufield Murphy, Mrs. Lizzie Dufield Sanford, Mrs. Ella Loudenbeck Herman, Mrs. Ethel Greenleaf, Mrs. Jessie Murphey Charles, Miss Carrie B. Lawson, Mrs. Kathryn Diehl and Miss Louise Jung, one of the youngest in the line of artistic performers who have rendered incalcuable benefit to aspiring vocalists and instrumentalists in the city and vicinity. Throughout the years local musicians have participated in many notable musical treats, giving such operettas as "Queen Esther," "The Mikado," "La Pinafore" and many others including the recital of "The Reception," which was given by E. E. Richards, the author and producer, who wrote the words and the musical score and personally conducted the production before an interested and cultured audience, and there have been many others which time and space does not permit us to mention individually.
Symphonic Choir. Another musical organization, perhaps the youngest at the present time, is the Woodstock Symphonic Choir, made up of about sixty local singers. Compensation for their long hours of practice is the joy received under the inspiration of its outstanding leader, Carl Hendrickson, recognized director, violinist, and composer and head of the music department at Todd School for Boys. In addition to its concerts, this a cappella group, now in its fourth year, contributes to many public gatherings.

Mr. Wright was adjutant of the post during all of its history, which was a conspicuous one in the life history of the city, for no observance of Memorial day would have been complete without the members of the post having charge and marching to the cemeteries to decorate the graves of comrades until depletions by death caused the dissolution of the post, of which Mr. Wright is now the only surviving member. A. S. Wright and David Shales are the only surviving Civil War veterans in this community.

OLD TIMER LISTED BUSINESS MEN OF 1888 IN RHYME AND VERSE
In 1888, John F. Bunker, the venerable father of the late George K. and Amos K. Bunker, who for many years, was the treasurer of the town board of school trustees, penned the following lines, which give in detail the business and professional set-up of those who were the active business people at the city at that time:
We'll commence at the corner, Please walk up the stairs, You'll find Mrs. Quigley, She don't put on airs. But is fitting a dress And will make it up neat, Then when it is finished You'll find it complete.
The next place we'll call at Is the Donnelly girls, With bonnets and feathers And maybe false curls. Whatever you'll purchase You'll find it in style And when you've received it, Will leave with a smile.
The next place is Stafford's New furniture store, He's constantly selling Then purchasing more. If he's as good at collecting As he is making sale, There's no kind of danger He ever will fail.
The next, Albert Soper, In order you'll find, Has granite and marble,
The very best kind. He'll make you a monument And finish the same
By engraving thereon Your relative's name.
The next is Cap. Kelly, The south side of square, With tools all in order For any repair, An axel, a felly, And even a spoke, He's honest and upright, But don't like a joke.
The blacksmiths are plenty, I think four or five, And all are as busy
As bees in a hive, Among them is Andrews, Labors hard every day,
When farmers remember They all need their pay.
You please call at Perry's, A new music store Tis not on the corner, But at the next door. All musical instruments There can be seen, And also a splendid Nice sewing machine.
Next Bunker and Brother Are always on hand, Both groceries and hardware You'll find at their stand. Leander's the workerAnd he'll never tire Of handling the salt,The flour, and the wire.
Next east is the drug store Of Friend Delbert Wright, There Edward is pleasant And Delbert's polite. With all things in order And everything new, You're certain to purchase The very first View.
The next, I. T. Salisbury, You'll, find just and true, He'll deal with you fair And give you your due. He has a good clerk, 'Tis John Kennedy, He'll deal out the goods And then take the pay.
Please call into Murphy's, The second drug store, With paints and, with oils And many things more. He's also a jeweler With everything fine, He sells clocks and watches That keep perfect time.
And when you go east, There's Choate in his store, He keeps fancy dry goods And many things more. You'll find him on hand From morning till night, In dealing with friends He takes great delight.
The next one in order, With everything neat, Is Billy and partner
With plenty of meat. He's mutton and pork, And lard in the leaf,
With poultry that's good And sausage and beef.
The next place we come to The ladies know where, It is Mrs. Church's,
The east side of square. The ladies, they know All she keeps to sell,
Her bonnets and trimmings With me are pell mell.
Next, Leidig the barber, You all know his place, He'll open the door
With a smile on his face. "Now please take a chair, You are just in time," He'll shave you completely And charge you a dime.
Then next comes McFadden, A straight, honest man, He'll warrant his tinware From quart cup to can. His stoves, they are splendid For cooking and heat, You need not look further, They can not be beat.
Next Sanford, the tailor, He's been here so long That every one knows
His work is done strong. And as to his fitting, It's perfect and neat
And when it is finished Every part is complete.
Next place is the Market With plenty of meat, It's clean and in order,

Once Declined Decoration
Sainte-Beuve, the famous French writer of last century, was so conscientious as to once decline the Cross of the Legion of Honor because he felt that it was offered him not so much for his literary merit as because several of his personal friends were high in power and they had got it for him.
BEAUTIFUL CITY OF THE DEAD FAITHFULLY CARED FOR AND IMPROVED
Previous to the year 1859 the Woodstock village buring-ground was located on the land now occupied by the former residence of Mrs. Mary Avery on South street. In May of that year the village board appointed a committee of three to act with an additional six from the general public to select a new site for a cemetery, and this committee selected the present grounds, at the west end of Jackson street, which were originally purchased for $1,000, and most of the bodies in the old cemetery were moved thereto.
Organized in 1885
The new cemetery was allowed to remain without a great amount of care until 1885, when the Woodstock Cemetery association was organized, with the following named as the first directors: John S. Wheat, A. Bourne, George Eckert, E. E. Thomas, A. R. Murphey, G. S. Southworth, Geo. L. Sherwood, R. Diesel and D. Crumb.
The board held its first meeting at the Waverly House on Tuesday, Aug. 11, 1885, and organized by electing John S. Wheat president, Andrew Bourne vice-president, E. E. Thomas secretary and A. R. Murphey treasurer.
The association at once took charge of the cemetery and began work for its improvement and beautification. Twice since then the board has made additions to the grounds, city water has been supplied for keeping the grass and graves and flowers green, and later, through the efforts of a ladies' auxiliary, a beautiful iron fence was erected along the street line.
Since the year 1901 a sexton has been employed, at first only during the summer months, but later for the full year, under the direction of the superintendent. The first sexton thus employed was J. W. Matheny, who did very efficient work until 1918, when he resigned for the purpose of moving to California. His successors, as shown below, have been acceptable men and to them is largely due the beauty and well-kept appearance of the cemetery and its individual lots, especially those whose owners contribute yearly towards the support of the association.
Mausoleum Built
In 1915 an imposing mausoleum was constructed on the cemetery grounds for those who prefer interment in that manner. It is substantially built of cement and marble, with 200 crypts, of which about 150 are already occupied. The mausoleum was built by the International Mausoleum company, who made provision for $1,000 for the care and upkeep of the same.
The association has issued about 50 certificates providing for perpetual care for the lots of those who have paid the fee of $50 for a full lot or $25 for a half-lot, and the money thus received has been placed in a trust fund, only the interest being used in the care fund.

Calvary Cemetery
Not long after Oakland cemetery was located on the present site the members of St. Mary's organization secured land directly south of and across the street from Oakland, which they denominated Calvary. It is in the name of and in charge of the higher authorities of the church and the local priest, and has been developed to a fine state of beauty. Its handsome monuments and well-kept avenues and graves attract the attention of all who pass that way. A beautiful iron fence of artistic design was installed about 1900.

John C. Choate and Olive Baldwin were married January 11, 1854, at Joliet, Illinois. In 1857 Mr. Choate entered into the general merchandising business at Woodstock, in which he continued about half a century. This store was one of the leading trading places in McHenry county. The Choate store was located in what is now known as the Stafford building, and all three floors and basement were always well filled with merchandise. The hospitable Choate home was located on West Jackson street, just east of the Osborn home. Four children were born to this worthy couple: Susan Choate Streets, Frank Choate, Flora Choate Cannon and Emma Choate. All are now deceased.

Helen E. Sherwood, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. George L. Sherwood, was born Sept. 22, 1858; married J. C. James in 1880. In the days when the Sherwoods conducted the old Waverly House on Main street Nellie Sherwood was one of the active and prominent young women of Woodstock, leader and active participant in all local social affairs. In the latter days of her short life she conducted a restaurant in the basement below the present location of Evans' market. In this enterprise she was associated with her mother, Mrs. Sherwood, and by David F. McCauley, who continued the business after Mrs. James' death in 1896.

EARLY SETTLERS OF SOUTH HEBRON WERE STURDY FOLK
Stories of First Days on the Farm
By GEORGE A. HUNT From the earliest recollection of my boyhood there were many things that transpired that were of a great deal of importance from my youthful point of view. The old orchard of 30 acres was a favorite resort, particularly from early spring until late fall. It was a delightful place to hunt bird's nests and from time to time to test the many varieties of apples growing there.
The Red Astrachan, Early Harvest and Sweet Bough were the apples we delighted to munch during the harvest season. We used to bring quite a number from the orchard at a time and hide them in a convenient place in the straw stack or in the oat bin for future delectation. The Wagener, Northern Spy, Yellow Bellflower, Roxbury Russet and Seek-no-further were among the well known sorts of winter apples at that time.
My father, George W. Hunt, and grandfather, A. H. Parker, used to haul load after load of apples to the cider mill to be made into cider and the dooryard fence was lined with barrels of cider, which was made into vinegar to be sold at 25 cents per gallon.
Swimming In Cider
One fall my grandfather had a large tank or cask set up in the cellar for the cider. My father counseled having new hoops made for the tank, but grandfather insisted that some old hoops which he would have welded together would answer the purpose just as well and save expense. There must have been at least 25 barrels of cider put into that cask and everything seemed to be lovely, but the staves swelled, the hoops burst and everything in the cellar went swimming in cider.
It may easily be imagined that the strawberry patch often came under my close observation. The Wilson Warfield, Beder Wood and Crescent were the varieties planted most. It was my privilege also to help pick up the potatoes and I recall that the Early Rose, the Peachblow and the Blue Neshanic were as standard at that time, as the Early Ohio, Irish Cobbler and the Rurals are at the present time.
As to the birds' nests: I used to have contests with my brother, Carlton, to see who could find the greatest number and sometimes we would have a hundred or more that we could show to the folks on a Sunday afternoon. It would be an exceedingly, difficult task to accomplish such a feat now-a-days.
Passenger Pigeons Now Extinct
I have a feeling of deep regret when I realize that the Passenger Pigeons that used to fly so swiftly overhead, are now extinct. They used sometimes to fly in such immense flocks that they seemed to darken the sky. In the fall they would often light down in the oak grove and feed on the acorns and made a beautiful and lively appearance as they did so. I remember hearing my uncle tell of the hunters invading their roosting places in Michigan and slaughtering them by the hundreds with long poles. They would then be shipped to the big hotels in New York City and served on their tables as "quail on toast."
I often recall to mind when as a lad I used, occasionally, to trudge the two and a half miles west to Grandpa Boyds and sit on a bench watching him while he mended my shoes. I can see him now as he sat stolidly at work on his cobbler's bench. I can envision also Grandma Boyd, her body bent way over with rheumatism, a light wrap over her shoulders, a white cap on her head, a cane in her hand and a happy, welcoming smile on her face as she met me at the door. I can hear also her gentle, sweet voice as she opened the door and called to the old dog, "Carlo, Carlo, come in."
Rail Fences Then
I remember well the mile after mile of stake and rider rail fence in use in those days and when I was five or six years old my father began building the rail fences in a straight line, with two posts set close together and the ends of the rails placed one on top of the other between the posts with a wire around the posts near the top to keep them from spreading.
I remember too the old ox yokes, the old cradle for cutting grain and the many ox shoes found around the old granary; also the old ox breaking plow with a beam about ten inches through and ten feet long and capable of cutting and turning a furrow twenty-six inches wide through the tough prairie sod and drawn by six yoke of oxen in the still earlier days. My father kept a flock of about 50 sheep and fed a carload or so every season, and I literally grew up with the sheep. It was my job to watch and drive them in from impending rains and to gather them into the big sheep barn at night.
Bred Registered Sheep
My father started with grade Merinos, but soon began breeding registered stock. His breeding stock was purchased from E. N. Bissell of East Shoreham, Vermont. In the earlier years, before shearing time we used to drive the sheep two or three miles to the creak to wash them. After a few days the wool became perfectly dry and the shearing began. A great many of the early farmers kept flocks of sheep, but about 1866 many began selling their flocks and going into the dairy business.
We kept a few cows, but had no instructions from the health department in the fine art of sanitation and felt it to be very meet and proper that the milk bo kept in shallow pans on shelves in the cellar. Please note that I say "cellar." We had no basements in those days. The milk was skimmed every morning. The skim milk was fed to the calves and pigs and the cream was soured and made into butter. At first the old dash, crockery churn was used and later the square box churn that turned with a crank. The dairy industry continued to increase until by 1901 there were more creameries in operation in McHenry county than in any other county in the United States. Twenty years later there was not a creamery in active operation in the county.
The most extensive Poland China hog breeders in Hebron township were Charles M. Brigham, C. Street & Son and George W. Hunt. We continued the breeding of Merinos and Poland Chinas after father's death, in 1882, and at one time shipped four head of Poland Chinas to Gustav Kaper, Tange Bei Varel, in Oldenburg, Germany.
First School Board
My grandfather, Alvin H. Parker, was a member of the first school board in Hebron township, having for his colleagues Bela H. Tryon and Jacob Gilbert. They raised the money by subscription to build the first school house in the township. This was a frame building located on prairie land owned by A. H. Parker in Section 26, opposite the Parker homestead and one half mile west of Tryon's Corners.
This building was later moved about one mile east of Tryon's Corners and used for a time for school purposes and for lodge meetings. It was afterward fitted up as a residence and occupied by different families, including Perry Wodell. The last one to occupy it was Henry Hoffman, grandfather of the Waiters and Fisher families.
The first teacher who taught in this building was Sabina Parsons, who taught a summer school in 1842. Other teachers were a Mr. Filkins, Gardner Barrows and L. H. S., Barrows.
Among the early scholars in this school were Jeremiah Tuck, Milton Stewart, Thomas, Henry, Eliza and Cornelia Gilbert; Charles H. Tryon, George F. Tryon, Edwin Douglass and Elvira Douglass, who married Gardner Barrows; James F. Parker and Emily S. Parker, who married L. H. S. Barrows; Clarissa E. Parker, who married Edwin Douglass. Mary Louville Parker, who married Geo. W. Hunt, and Ellen Laura Parker,
who married A. G. Hibbard, undoubtedly also attended this school.
A school house was built at Tryon's Corners about 1850, which was attended by the next generation of scholars. I began attending this school in 1868, and Anna Sawyer, a sweet faced girl, was my teacher.
Among the scholars attending this school during my school days were George W. Brown, C. Fred Tryon, Ira B. Tryon, Hattie Tryon, Gus, Jennie, George, Lewis and Henry Vogel; Will, Fred and Betty Hohenstein; William, George, Lewis and Jeanie Burger; Fred, Emma, Linda, Gus and Edna Walters; Lewis, Henry, Fred, Minnie and Louise Fisher; Eva, Norma and Will Hendrickson; Ellen, Mary and Edwin Bigham; Frank and Luella Tryon; Minnie Martin, Will Couth, Anna Ercanbrack.
Boys Play Pranks
Naturally with such a wide-awake company of boys in school it is not to be wondered at that there were many pranks and much mischief divulged in. One summer, while Will Westerman, the teacher, was away at noon, some of the older boys fixed the bell so it would not ring.
We could see from behind the bushes when he came out to ring the bell. The clapper had been wound tightly with cloth and it would not make a sound. Shortly afterward however the bell did ring out with no uncertain sound.
The year prior to my first summer in school, according to very authentic reports, the boys asked the girls to go home and then all climbed up overhead in the school house, through the scuttle hole in the ceiling, using a long bench, which had not been fastened to the floor, for climbing purposes.
It was necessary for one of the boys to stay below to put the bench back in place. He had no way of climbing up and the first suggestion was that he get into the big sheet iron stove. They finally decided this would not do, so he got the broom and two or three of the boys hauled him up. Anna Sawyer was teacher that year also and when she came in she said, "I wonder where those boys are? - I'd like to wring their necks." Then she opened the big stove and looked in. Finally one of the boys who was in somewhat of a cramped position, moved a little and she heard him and of course they were summarily ordered to come down.
Old Time Games
The games played by the scholars in those days are seldom, if ever played by the scholars of this more scientific age. When school was dismissed or "let out" it would be "C'mon boys and girls, let's play Pom Pom Pullaway," or let's play Fox and Geese or, Bruce or I Spy the Wolf or Hela Over or Dixon Game, or C'mon boys let's play Duck Stone, or Crack the Whip, or Mumblety Peg, but woe unto the two or three at the tail end of the whip in Crack the Whip, as they were often thrown headlong; and woe unto him who had to pull the peg in Mumblety Peg as the peg was often driven practically out of sight, you were not allowed to use your knife or hands to dig away the dirt, but had to pull the peg with your teeth.
Among, the teachers remembered in this school were Charles Arkol, Albert Alexander, Anna Sawyer, Mattie Hunt, A. E. Baldwin, William Westerman, Henry Burger, Nettie Wright, Elizabeth Downs, Joe Garrison, Anna Moore.
Learned Morse Code
Along in the early seventies Rob Martin, a relative of the Tryons and whose father and mother lived a short distance north of the Tryon home, was employed as night telegraph operator at Woodstock.
He often visited in the Tryon homes and taught the boys the Morse Code. Ira B. Tryon, who was of an ingenious and mechanical turn of mind, made some wooden telegraph keys and some of us boys made keys also. We learned to telegraph with each other on these crude keys, until about 1874 when Ira Tryon was about eighteen years of age and being encouraged by his uncle, he built a telegraph line from the home of Fred and Ira to the home of their uncle, Charles H. Tryon.
This line was soon extended to the Burger farm and a year or so later my brother, Carlton, and myself, assisted by Ira Tryon, extended the line to our home on the old Parker homestead, christened by my father, Oak Grove Farm. This name was listed among the registered farm names in the office of the circuit clerk at Woodstock in 1908.
This telegraph line was extended about 1878 or '79 to the J. F. Parker farm, which was tenanted by H. E. Douglass and at the same time it was extended, on to the Edwin Douglass farm thus making a continuous line about four miles in length. This line was used for a number of years.
The building and use of this telegraph line did much to develop in us a stronger initiative and gave us a keener sense of the need of a quicker and easier means of communication among the farmers. It therefore undoubtedly had a very potent influence leading up to the organization and development of the farmers New Era Telephone company.
First Mail Carrier
The first mail carrier remembered was Tom Hagerty, who lived on section 33 in Hebron township, across the road north of the farm now owned by William F. Douglass. He carried the mail every Thursday between Greenwood and Woodstock. Mr. Hagerty was an eccentric character. He could neither read or write but would sometimes take a paper, perhaps upside down and read to us very interestingly and amusing items of news. When carrying the mail he would not turn out to let anyone pass but would say, "get out of the road for the United States mail."
At threshing time the farmers borrowed grain sacks from one another and Mr. Hagerty, who worked for Gardner Barrows, would always sort out Mr. Barrows' sacks. He would look at the stenciled name on a sack and say, "G. T. H. X. Y. Gardner Barrows."
The severe cold and deep snow of January and February, 1936, recalled to mind very vividly the unusually deep snows of 1881 and 1888 or '89. The storm of '81, began March 4 and lasted several days, keeping the farmers busy shoveling paths between houses and barns.
After the storm was over the snow became hard enough to walk on and finally became so hard that we could drive right over the fences in any direction.
After the Mail
The first morning after the storm cleared, my father went on foot to Greenwood, which was our post office at the time. On reaching Greenwood he organized a shoveling gang and broke a road through to Woodstock. Louis B. Peatt drove his team hitched to a long sleigh and Elder Young, the Baptist preacher rode with him on the sleigh.
After reaching Woodstock photographer John S. Medlar took their pictures. I can remember just how my father looked as he started out for Greenwood, his long overcoat, his black rabbit skin cap without a visor, and his long whiskers outlined against the snow. Those rabbit skin caps were all the go at that time.
Snow Until In May
The snow did not all disappear until in May. When plowing that spring a strip about two rods wide along the fences had to be left and plowed later. My brother, Carlton, found snow in a gravel pit and made a snow ball on the tenth of May.
After the next very deep snow which occurred about 1888 or '89, the train known as the K. D., running between Rockford and Kenosha, was blocked for two weeks or more.
The cyclone of 1883, which destroyed the house and barn and killed the hired man on the Levi Nichols farm, I do not remember much about, as I did not visit the scene of disaster.
There was a heavy storm of snow and sleet which destroyed the leaves and blossoms on the fruit trees April 23, 1910. I remember the date very distinctly as it was my brother's fiftieth birthday.
South Hebron Cemetery
At a very early date Robert W. Stewart set aside a plot of ground from his farm at the southeast corner of Section 27 to be used as a cemetery. A. H. Parker also set aside a plot of equal size at the southwest corner of section 26 and adjoining the Stewart cemetery. On the 4th of December he deeded this plot to his heirs. This deed was recorded October 12, 1877. This combined cemetery is now known as the South Hebron Cemetery. Perhaps thirty years ago a cemetery association was formed and known as the South Hebron Cemetery association. William Hohenstein was engaged and is still acting as caretaker of the cemetery. The sum of $337 was accumulated and placed in the State Bank of Woodstock under a trust agreement April 5, 1934. It is proposed that this fund be added to until it amounts to at least $1,500 in order to provide perpetual care. The present officers and trustees of the assocation are as follows: President, George A. Hunt; vice president, F. A. Walters; secretary-treasurer, Mary C. Perry; other trustees, Lyle Vanderkarr, W. C. Hohenstein, S. W. Brown, R. W. Stewart and Henry Vogel.
Early Pioneers
During my earlier years I became more, or less acquainted with fifty or sixty of the earlier settlers. Among those whom I remember in the South Hebron community were the Tryon families, Samuel W. Brown, Jonathan Brown, Seymour Whiston, Abner Martin, W. H. Hendrickson, William Fisher, Harley Benedict, August Walters, Peter Burger, Henry Vogel, Robert W. Stewart, John Stewart, William H. Stewart, Uncle John Vanderkarr, Esbon Vanderkarr, Grandpa Boyd, Edwin Douglass, W. S. Ercanbrack, Cranston or Crandall Thayer, Samuel Archibald, George Durkee, Peter Welbon, L. H. S. Barrows, Gardiner Barrows, Thomas Coffey, Lyman Glass, Josh Diamond, George Trow and others whom I do not now recall. A large majority of the pioneer settlers of Hebron township came from New York state, although some came from Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Connecticut and many from across the Atlantic. Many of them were English or of Scotch descent. A good sprinkling also of sturdy German families. While a majority of the early Irish Catholics settled in Hartland, many of them set their stakes in Hebron township. They were hard workers and good financiers and they and their families made good in the field of agriculture.
Many were noted for their wit and for their skill in repartee, as well as for their ingenuity in turning a difficult situation into one accruing to their advantage.
Wagons—Good and Bad
I recall that one, Johnny Spencer, was a great admirer of T. J. Dacy. At one time Mr. Dacy bought a lot of spring wagons that were not up to specifications. One day a representative of the wagon company was in the office and Mr. Dacy was complaining about the wagons when Mr. Spencer came in. "Here," said Mr. Dacy, "is a man who can tell you about the wagons, as he recently bought one."
"Well sir," said Mr. Spencer, I drove home and five of us got in and drove over the plowed ground and it never fazed it."
"Well, Mr. Dacy," said the man "this does not speak very badly for the wagons."
Mr. Spencer then understood the situation and said he, "Well, hold on, but lookit; the next day I throwed in a quarter of beef and the old woman got in and down she went."
Whenever Tom Coffey and Owen Marron met in Woodstock they usually engaged in a friendly tilt and I have marveled greatly at the quality as well as the quantity of expletives and sarcasm used by them in their endeavors to belittle one another.
The construction of railroads through the county from 1854 to 1864 brought many of the Catholic faith who made substantial contributions to the Pioneer life of the county.
We can never know the spirit and toil and hardship of the early pioneers of Hebron, but we do know that a great majority of them succeeded in their efforts to carve out a future for themselves and their families. Their children and grandchildren have been equally successful, whether in the pursuit of agriculture or in other fields of endeavor.
Those Bygone Days
It is interesting and enjoyable, if not really profitable, to join occasionally with old friends in harking back to the old times to relate experiences and swap stories of incidents and happenings of by-gone days. The celebrations of golden weddings, Washington, Lincoln and other birthdays celebration and numerous other commemorative events indicate clearly the interest manifested, not only by the older people, but by the younger ones as well, in the happenings of the old days.
LINDA ECKERT BURGER [photo] This is an old time picture of Mrs. George Burger taken when she was still unmarried. Mrs. Burger was a daughter of Henry Eckert, prominent farmer on Queen Ann Prairie. She was born January 12, 1859, and grew to womanhood on the surroundings by the old memories of the pioneers who came to that locality back in the early forties. She married George Burger and they came to Woodstock, where Mr. Burger was in business for many years. Mrs. Burger was a home loving mother, a kindly neighbor and friend, and her passing on Dec. 29, 1921, brought deep sorrow to her family and a wide circle of friends. Besides her husband she left two children, Mrs. Nettie Burger Baccus and Irwin L. Burger.

HOME OIL COMPANY
In 1915 G. W. Frame and E. L. Hanaford organized the INDEPENDENT OIL COMPANY, then located in the Old Mill property, east of the Railroad tracks, between East Jackson and East Calhoun streets. In 1917 Frame and Hanaford purchased the interest of the Riecke Bros, in the Home Oil Company, local distributors of Deep Rock Oil and Gasoline Products. In 1919 the business was moved to the C. W. Hill property on Calhoun street, next to the City Hall. In 1921 the present location at the corner of Throop and Judd streets was purchased, and the Company erected one of the first modern "drive in" gas stations in this part of the state. In 1928 Mr. Frame purchased Mr. Hanaford's interest in the Home Oil Company. Mr. Frame died in December, 1929, at the climax of a successful and highly respected business career. Since the death of Mr. Frame the business has continued to grow in volume and in good will of the. community, conducted by Mrs. Alma Frame, owner, and A. R. Battern, manager. Home Oil Company Will appreciate your patronage.
