Are you perhaps thinking of Newton Bateman's "Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois & History of DuPage County" 2 Vols. (1088 p). which was published in 1882 & 1913. My book shows 18 librariesthat have Bateman's book. >> Would any of those libraries by in DuPage County? I tried the Wheaton Library webcat and can't find it there, either by author or title. I would like to see that book. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, Anne
