In 1969 The Fulton County Board of Supervisors in cooperation with The Fulton County Historical Society published "A History of Fulton County Illinois in Spoon River Country". I could not find an entry in relation to your question in the Farmington Township section but found the following entry: "Coal mining became the most important industry in this locality near the turn of the century. There were many deep shafts sunk, and the families who came to work in these mines were Slavs, Italians, Poles and Lithuanians. Up until this time the settlers were mainly English, Irish and Scots."
