In the winter of 1858 a mulatto, about 28 years of age, came to the home of Lyman Wiimot, the Abolitionist, at night, via the "Underground Railway," from Mississippi. The lake was frozen, so the black man could not be sent across to Canada, therefore he had been taken to Deerfield. Mr. Wiimot brought the stave to the Lorenz Ott home to do the chores, so that the children could go to school. Andrew Jackson's father was a white man, and he worked on his father’s plantation where he saw liis white sisters. The plantation owner was more lenient to his son than to his other slaves, arid Andrew learned more than his companions, therefore the desire to be free so overcame the bd that it led him to attempt to escape but bloodhounds tracked him, and he was brought back. In his second attempt at freedom he was successful, and he crossed the Ohio River, where he was sent on fits journey north. The man was a good worker, kept the horses clean (he had been a yardman on the plantation) and "made a nice gate of stout wood" which he said would last till the slaves were freed. When that occurred he requested Mr. Ott to destroy the gate, which sentimental request was not heeded by the thrifty fanner. After reaching the slaves' haven, Andrew wrote to his benefactors who had taught him to read and write, of his safe arrival, and that was the last that they ever heard of him. Samuel Ott was fourteen years of age at that time, and he recalls much that the Negro did while here. From another source it is learned that die slave, Andrew Jackson's escape was planned because he had been sold. "My kind master found it necessary to sell me. None of the slaves were given any education as our masters thought that we would rebel or outwit them. But a friend told me tliat the sun rises in the east and sets in the west and that as one goes further south it gets warmer, and going north it gets colder. With this information only, l decided to run away. I was soon captured for my master had discovered my absence soon after 1 left, and had sent blood­ hounds after me. When taking me back to the plantation my captor tied my arms with a rope, which was fastened to the horse, and made me walk in front of him, while he rode. I loosened the rope and walked along as if I were not trying to escape. Soon 1 noticed that mv master was sleeping, so J dropped the rope, and jumped into the woods. Most of the time I hid during the day, and often pursuers were so close to my hiding place tiiat I could hear my master giving directions to them. U - YIul tLruCc r cun^i fads'f-j-J!; d/Jx/ws y £6U%SU~J0&V+* LAJlSCenS/n (c.,3.000) "Several times I was without food for a number of days. Many times I ate raw com taken from a field when I passed through it. One time I fell in a barrel when I was looking for food, and even thought I hurt my hip severely, I managed to limp back into the woods. One day 1 came to a hut and asked a girl, who was alone, for some bread, which I could see was freshly baked. The child refused to give it to me so 1 grabbed a few loaves and ran, and when safely hidden, ate them. These are but a few of my hardships, but I am glad to be with friends now. "A group of Abolitionists lived in Highland Park, and would often come to Deerfield if they knew that the farmers were bringing their crops to town. Often many hot debates took place on what is now known as Autes' comer. Slaves were also seen in Deerfield, but it is not known in which direction they went. (Source: Marie Ward Reichelt for Deerfield Post 738, American Legion H33. 081 Glermew Press, August 1928, p. 107-8.) DEERFIELD In 1860 a runaway slave, called "Andrew Jackson," came through Deerfield, where he stayed with Mr. Lorenz Ott, who lived where Mr. Orman Rockenhach now lives. Later he lived with Mr. Lyman Wiimot until the Civil War was over. He had many hardships to endure while he was with cruel masters, but later he was taught to read and write, and in return he showed the white people how to tie com with a stalk of corn and many other methods of farming. This is one incident of the anti­ slavery activities. (Source: Marie Ward Reichelt for Deerfield Post 738. American I.egion #33, 081 Glenview Press, August 1928, p. 83.)

Hie original house consisted of n kitchen and living room with a "ladder" stairway to the space above them—the sleeping loft.

CD O Ci> <C o JO Garrison and McKim especially faced the problem of slavery head-on in the manner of New England Puritan preachers of old, something the more moderate Lake Forest founders—concerned at the prospect of dis­ ruptive social upheaval—tended to avoid. Indeed, the Lake Foresters' moderate position on slavery against it in Cite western territories where they wanted to expand Chicago business interests, but willing to wait for it to die out in the south may have contributed to their seeking such an enclosed, maze-like street plan with entry to the town confined for all practical purposes to the streets around the depot. Several dues suggest that African-Americans and perhaps fugitive slaves were on hand here in the late 1850s and early 1860s—before Emancipation. Covertly too. Sylvester Lind and the Lake Forest founders took risks—Danforth reports Lind himself traveled down the lakes with Underground Railroad "pas­ sengers” to cue them when, literally, the "the coast was clear" -and worked hard, short of John Brown- like revolutionary acts, to gain free­ dom for African-Americans and to work toward the election of Lincoln in 1660. JO or O tit SYLVESTER LIND, THE NORTON'S GRANDFATHER, AND THE ANTISLAVERY MOVEMENT John J Halsey's 1912 History of 1-ake County, Illinois provides a biogra­ phical sketch of Sylvester Lind, a censor figure in the founding of lake forest. Lind was bom in Scotland in 1808, arriving in Chicago in 1837 tc work as a carpenter, in 1842 he entered the lumber business and in 1S4S organized the Lind & Dunlap firm with mills at Cedar River, Michigan on the western shore directly west of Door County's Washington Island. Arpee reports that he was also in the banking and insurance businesses making and losing at least three fortunes as the economic health of earl) Chicago came and went. Before the railroad wen! through, his banking business in Milwaukee and Chicago led him up and down the old Greer Bay Trail by Lake Forest. An article on "The Under-Ground Railway" in the May 1890 Stentor the College newspaper (pp. 165-88), highlighted Lind's importance tr the anti-slavery movement of the days when Lake Forest was founded The article was written by an enterprising member of the class of 1891 William E. Danforth, who also conducted interviews with explorers George Konnan and Sir Henry Stanley who visited the town and a bed­ side February 1890 interview with the legendary ex-slave and local driver Samuel Dent, who died in June of 1890, and is buried in the Lake Forest Cemetery'. Lind was an active "conductor” on the Underground Railroad and a leader in the Chicago movement, with his Chicago river lumber yard there a staging point for smuggling fugitive slaves down the lakes. The Fugitive Slave Act was harsh, and a captain risked losing his ship iJ caught. Danforth s article, though, details how Ltnd and others would arrange for the captain to look the other way for "deniabilitv" while ex­ slaves scrambled on board and stowed away. They then jumped off at the Island-refueling stop at Death's Door between the Door County mainland and the Washington Island to wait for another ship heading for Detroit. This ship, in turn, would drift dose enough to the Ontario shore in the narrow St. Clair River to permit the African-Americans to leap to freedom. Lind's concern for the plight of the African-Americans, some of whom probably were present in I ake Forest before the Civil War, was shared by others in town and carried over into the close, warm ties between the races fhoco rcorresv ct through the rest of the nineteenth century. tjfcC Foryi* It s interesting that the next owners of Historical Socuiy the property after Mrs. (Eliza O.) find, who lived & �http://nsls-iol2.auto-grapliics.com/wp2000/Fulldsp.asp7niyses 9291 &cr 4 Deerfield Public Library / Full Display > V CLICK HERE 0©] impact -0 5ssa1 ON LIME j^ISON .
