Cynthia, Thank you for the possible namesake ideas of the Waller Road, Route 84. I will try to look into them, Henry, Frank and James Waller, to see if any of them were famous enough to have a state wide road named for them. We had assumed that somebody there in Whiteside Co was the namesake for the road, but it is for the full length, north to south of the county. As soon as it hits another county, the road is no longer Waller Road. I also wondered about the possibility of a famous Illinois state person the road was named after. My Waller friends lived in Rock Island Co, around Moline, and this has been a curiosity to them for years. Julie
