Note that the Kewanee history web-site gives 1924 as the date of annexation. I don't know which is right. The Polson book, CORN, COMMERCE, AND COUNTRY LIVING was published in 1968 by the Henry County Board of Supervisors, written by a series of unidentified authors and edited by Terry Ellen Polson. I found my copy at a Galesburg, IL bookseller by using an internet used-book search.
