Marti: The John Pritchard biographical sketch you typed was from the Portrait and Biographical Album of Livingston Co., IL, page 895 and 896, published 1888 by Chapman Brothers, Chicago. Susan Ulfers Campbell in GA

Is there a 1880 "History of Livingston County?" I have a transcript for John Pritchard which is supposedly in 1880 History of Livingston County Our subject was reared to manhood in his native country, where he was given a meager education in the schools of that day. In 1860 he concluded to transfer his place of residence from the country of his birth to the United States, and taking passage on the steamship "City of Washington", at Liverpool. He landed at Castle Garden, N.Y., after a stormy voyage of two weeks across the ocean. From New York he proceeded directly to Deleware County Ohio, and there remained for 7 years, being employed as a farm hand and performing such kinds of work as he was able to secure. Thence he came to Illinois where he came to Livingston County. His stay in this country was but temporary. And in 1868 he moved to the State of Missouri. On the 3rd of Oct 1872 while living in Missouri, Mr Pritchard was married to Mary M. Miller a native of Pennsylvania, who was born on the 21st of Nov 1851. To them was born 7 children. Shortly after marriage Mr. Pritchard came to Livingston Co and settled on the farm on which he now resides on the Vermillion River. He first purchased of land consisted of 80 acres, to which he subsequently added until he now has a farm of 160 acres which is model in all appointments and equipment. When he became possessed of this land there had practically never been any imporvements made upon it nor any cultivation attempted. On the 12th of Oct 1886 Mrs Pritchard died after a short illiness. She was a women, who had endeared herself by her many good qualities of head and heart to all who knew he and her loss both to the family and the community is sincerely morned. Mr Pritchard is a member of Baptist church in which he has served in the capacity of Decon and is also Superintentant of the Sunday School. He is a Republican in politics, although he does not take an active part in political matters. He has never been an office seeker, but on the contrary has declined political perferment when tendered by his friends. This history of John Pritchard was found by Mary Ellinger in her Mothers Livingston County Album of 1880. I have read the microfilche we have in our library in Carlsbad California and that "History of Livingston County has Abraham C. Winters bio in it but not John Pritchard. I would like to know what publication the John Pritchard bio was in and if any other relatives are in it. Thank you Marti Hause Vista Ca Marti3543@aol.com

The Reform School at Pontiac, though a State institution, was completed and ready for occupants in 1870. Geo. W. Perkins, former Warden of the IL Penitentiary was seleced as Superintendent. There is belonging to the institution in land 280 acres which is worked by the inmates. The inmates have a large play ground of several acres including a baseball ground. An additional bldg. called a Family Building has recently been erected where about 30 of the better class of boys will reside apart from the others. Five teachers are employed, also a farmer, engineer, baker, overseers of shops to a number of 18 employees. The school was opened for the reception of boys in June, 1871, and to this date there have been 756 admitted. There are at this time in the school 194. Between 70-80 are employed making shoes, 60 of the smaller boys are engaged in caning chairs, the rest of the inmates are employed on the farm, laundry, bakery and garden. All clothing worn is manufactured by the inmates. Besides the duties of 6 hrs of labor a day, all attend school for 4 hrs., 9 hrs. is allowed for sleep. Visitors are welcome at the school from 1 - 3:30 p.m., Monday, Wed. and Friday. (from 1888 History of Livingston Co., IL ) Susan Ulfers Campbell in GA

Looking at the ages on the reform school, many were quite young, 10 or so throught about 16. Was it a reform school as we think of one now, or for children without parents?

Good question. In the 1880 census, there is a heading at the top of the first page that has all of the inmates that says reform school and in the column that describes the relationship of the person it says prisoner. Those people who were teachers or support personell are listed as such. My hope is that there are records which would then help me find court records and possibly newspaper articles about this person.

I just found a relative that is listed as a prisoner in the reform school in the 1880 census. Are the records available for that time period for the inmates? Thank you. Bob Drennan

Do not believe all you see on the 'net. Please read and heed the following information received from one of the lists I'm on.

Do not believe everything you read--even in your own e-mail box. An e-mail message is making the rounds that suggests people should delete a vital Windows file to prevent a virus from attacking their PCs on Friday. It's a hoax! If you receive such an e-mail, do NOT delete the file, which is SULFNBK.EXE. This is not a virus waiting to be activated on June 1. Rather, this file helps Windows re-create long file names if they get corrupted. The e-mail message reads: "It was brought to my attention yesterday that a virus is in circulation via e-mail. I looked for it and to my surprise I found it on mine. Please follow the directions and remove it from yours TODAY!!!!!" The message continues to say that the file slips itself into the c:/Windows/Command folder where it remains dormant until Friday when it will suddenly activate and wipe out all files and folders. NOT TRUE! The e-mail message isn't being spread across the Internet by some insidious Microsoft Outlook virus; instead, it's being spread by well- meaning friends who think they're protecting one another.

...from the Saturday, November 29, 1913 issue of the Streator Daily Free Press. TOWN WAS MOVED Originally Planned Further North but Was Moved to Present Site Away back in 1870 a survey for a railroad was run through Amity township. Walter B. Cornell, a commissioner, W. D. Blake and Jeff Houston, the latter the supervisor, secured the right of way through the township and the railroad was known as the Fairbury, Pontiac and Northwestern railroad. It was then that Walter B. Cornell laid out a town, a few blocks north of the present town. His plat called for a public square, around which were to be grouped the business houses of the little village. Because of the land being owned by Mr. Cornell, the town was named after him. It was not long, however, until another site was picked for the business district, and the name applied to this offspring was Blake. Thus matters stood for a short time, but the proposition was finally put to a vote of the people, and the business district was changed to what was called Blake, but the name Cornell was given it. At Present fine residences occupy what was intended as the business district. All of the land within the corporate limits of Cornell was owned by Walter B. Cornell or Henry Cornell, the former owning the greater part. Joanie

PIONEERS DRIVE CATTLE TO CHICAGO In the earliest times the farmers hereabouts drove their cattle, and took their corn, clear to Chicago, and some who made the trip returned with lumber to replace their original log cabins. Before the McVean mill was opened in Streator, in the late sixties, the farmers hereabouts took there wheat to Ottawa to be ground. Before the railroads came, hogs first were driven to Grand Ridge and sold to dealers, who then drove them to Ottawa. Mail came to early settlers not oftener than once a week. The carrier, John Fulwyler, mounted on a horse, had a route which started at Ottawa, with stops successively at Farm Ridge postofice, then south to Alum Rock (northwest now of Streator on the old Ward King place); next southeast to Isaac Painter's farm (now Painter's Addition), then termed "Eagle" postoffice, and finally southeast to New Michigan (now Cornell) postoffice and Pontiac. Return on the west side of the Vermilion River the route touched Reading, McQuown's place, a little southwest of Streator, and then led northwest to La Salle.

go directly to http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/FamHist.html or, our home page http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/pbl.html I have just added a new webpage to assist genealogists who have roots in Livingston county connected with the Regular (Primitive) Baptists. This link is intended as a tool, or index, to information included in our library materials. Obituaries, writings, records, minutes, and other original source documents which may be of help are in our collection, and the web site with its listings of SURNAMES ties to our database which gives additional information, and also serves as an index to more detailed information, photos, etc. We are glad to help researchers within the limits of our time as volunteers (who also must work for a living), and glad to share a better understanding of the church of which these pioneers were members. Will be glad to hear what you all think. Happy hunting!!!! Robert Webb ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
