f-the lire chief or chief of police and that all firemen be
eputized as police officers in time of fire.
The increasing demand for suburban property near
ihicago, especially along the north shore are factors in
ringing about added interest to the “North Shore West”
vrea. The completion of the new Union Station was ex
acted to bring better train service on the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul Railway.
i The proximity of Deerfield to Highland Park and Lake
"orest, and to Ravinia with its grand opera in the sum
mer, is greatly in favor of the development of a high
!rade community. For the women the easy access to
he Highland Park Woman’s Club, with its excellent culural programs, to the North Shore Chapter Daughters of
he American Revolution (for those who are eligible)
f.jth its fine patriotic and educational work, adds to
Deerfield's desirability as a residence place.

The Lake County Register of June IS, 1927, had the
following item:
BOARD WILL REDISTRICT TOWNSHIP
West Deerfield to Get New Precinct at Supervisors Meet
According to Schedule—Action on
Waukegan Delayed
Action was to be taken Thursday afternoon at the
board of supervisors’ meeting redistricting the Town of
West Deerfield, one new polling place to be added.
The resolution expected to be passed provides for
dividing the Town of West Deerfield as follows:
District 1—All that part of West Deerfield lying south
of the Half Day Road and the Milwaukee and St. Paul
Railroad tracks.
.
District 2—All that part of West Deerfield lying south
of the Half Day Road and west of the railroad tracks.
District 3—All that part of West Deerfield lying north
of the Half Day Road.
“UNDEKGROUND RAILROAD” ACTIVITIES
The first real information of Andrew Jackson, the run
away slave, Samuel Ott imparts to this generation. In the
winter of 1S5S a mulatto, about 28 years of age, came to the
home of Lyman Wilmot, the Abolitionist, at night, via the
“Underground Railway,” from Mississippi. The lake was
frozen, so the blackman could not be sent across to Canada,
therefore be had been taken to Deerfield. Mr. Wilmot
brought the slave to the Lorenz Ott home to do the chores,
so that the children could go to school.
Keeping a runaway slave was against the law, but the
Abolitionists felt that they were in the right by disobeying
an unjust law. Andrew Jackson’s father was a white man,
and he worked on his father’s plantation where he saw his
white sisters. The plantation owner was more lenient to
his son than to his other slaves, and Andrew learned more
than his companions, therefore the desire to be free so
overcame the lad 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 his journey
n°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 resquest was not heeded
by the thrifty farmer. When spring came, and the roads
were muddy, Andrew Jackson prepared to leave. Lorenz
Ott made him a new suit, and gave him money for boat
fare, and Lyman Wilmot took him to Chicago, where he
escaped to Canada. After reaching the slaves’ haven, An
drew 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 yeais of
age at the time, and he recalls much that the negro did
while here.
_
., ,
.
From another source it is learned that the slave, An
drew 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 that 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, I
decided to run away. I' was soon captured for my master
had discovered my absence soon after I left, and had sent
bloodhounds after me. When taking me back to the planta
tion 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 it
I were not trying to escape. Soon I noticed that my master
was sleeping', so I dropped the rope, and jumped into the
woods. Most of the time I hid during the day, and often
my pursuers were so close to my hiding place that I could
hear my master giving directions to them.
"Several times I was without food for a number of days.
Many times I ate raw corn taken from a field when I passed
through it. One time I fell in a barrel when I was looking
for food, and even though I hurt my hip severely, I man
aged to limp back into the woods. One day I 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 I grabbed a few loaves and ran, and when
safely hidden, ate them. These are but a few of my hard*

ships, 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 farm
ers were bringing their crops to town. Often many hot
debates took place on what is now known as Antes’ Corner.
A great many negroes passed'through Deerfield, but no
body remembers a direct route which they used when they
traveled through this part of the country, according to the
little history of Deerfield prepared by the pupils in the
grammar school in 1918, under the direction of Clifford
Huffmaster, the World War invalid principal.
PIONEER LIFE
C. A. Partridge in his History of Lake County says:
True history records the trials and the triumphs, the
failures and the successes of the men who make history.
The impulsive power which shapes the course of com
munities may be found in the molding influences which
form its citizens. The list of those to whose lot it falls
to play a conspicuous part in the great drama of life is
comparatively short; yet communities are made up of in
dividuals and the aggregate of achievements, no less than
the sum total of human happiness, is made up of the
deeds of those men and women whose primary aim
through life is faithfully to perform the duty that comes
nearest to hand. Individual influence upon human affairs
will be considered potent or significant according to the
standpoint from which it is viewed.”
In the record of each man and family may be traced
some feature which influenced or has been stamped upon
the community life, and these sketches show the strug
gles, the labor, and the successes, or the failures, that
engrossed their lives.
“A few yet remain, whose years have passed the al
lotted three score years and ten, who love to recount
among the cherished memories of their lives their remi
niscences of early days in Lake County.”
Clergymen, physicians, educators, home makers, farm
ers, lawyers, leave their influence upon the community
development in a way that it is difficult to estimate.
Their faith, energy, courage, self-sacrifice and devotion
attest the results which they have achieved in Deerfield
township.
N
Judge V. V. Barnes, a former Deerfield man, attorney
and counsellor at law in Zion City, said:
“Few things are as interesting as the annals of
states and communities and the time will come when
whatever may be written or preserved will be considered
as all too meager. From such events and records the
historian weaves his most edifying and absorbing tale.
Already Lake County has furnished many events of in
tense and peculiar interest and men and women have
been permitted to lapse into silence whose knowledge
and words should have been preserved for those to come.
In fact, Lake County has been and is still rich in the
possession of characters and events of untold value and
in so far as possible we should take heed to preserve so
rich a heritage. It strikes me it would be well to con
sider this subject deliberately with a view to preserve
for others the things so closely associated with the lives
and welfare of the people.”
Martin C. Decker, a former Deerfield teacher who
wrote the history of Fremont Township for Dr. Halsey’s
history, said: “The history of a community is to a large
extent embodied in the lives of its great men. There are
a few history making changes that are due to natural
causes, most of them being if not entirely at least greatly
influenced by human agency.”
Of the pioneer mother little is known except tradition,
but that she bore and reared children under incredible
conditions and hardships, that she was a- homemaker
and housekeeper with no labor saving devices, and few
conveniences, and that every step in garment making and
food production was her job, is well known. Large fami
lies were common before the days of Margaret Sanger’s
doctrine, and the ingenuity of the mother kept them
clothed and fed in spite of drouth, flood, army worm, and
hail that destroyed their crops. Cornmeal mush was the
daily diet. Milk was used for making cottage cheese
but the cream was reserved for butter making, and this
product so rich in vitamins, (not known before this gen
eration) was sold to buy sugar. One neighbor was
selected to go to Chicago to make purchases for the
entire community. Ox teams were used sometimes, and
at others the packsaddle of a horse was utilized. It is
told that the first James Duffy walked to Chicago to buy
a bog of flour and carried it home on Uis back. Buck11
HISTORY OF DEERFIELD
wheat cakes with sorghum were a luxury, and quaii
prairie chickens, and partridges were had so often that
they were not the luxury that they are to this generation
A cheese similar to Limburger was made by the Germans
by forming cottage cheese into little balls, placing them
in a crock and allowing them to ripen. The fluid that
formed around the balls was poured off frequently ami
the cheese washed with fresh milk. Fish, principally
suckers ll/z feet long were in all of the streams. Water
for household purposes was dipped out of the ponds on
the land with buckets. Flies and mosquitoes tormented
the people and spread disease, malaria, ague, and ty
phoid. Screens or netting on windows were unknown
Wells dug were six feet deep.
Candles made by the women from mutton tallow and
cotton picking dipped, and also made in molds, were the
lights used. Later a two wick lamp, without a chimney
in which raccoou and lard, or camphene oil was burned
made a two candle power light. These lamps were on
metal standards with glass bowls. The third era was
the kerosene lamp of tin, painted green, with a polished
tin movable reflector, which hung on the door frames.
Glass hanging lamps with glass prisms or gaily painted
decorations were later parlor luxuries. “Student lamps”
of metal with a tall slender chimney on each side, with
two bowls of oil and circular wicks were a great im
provement for the sight. A Chicago directory oi’ IS GO
advertises lard oil, lunar oil, kerosene binnacle oil, Mayville coal oil, alcohol, camphene, and burning fluid.
Clothes were made for the men by the women of the
family after they had been cut by the tailor, Lawrence
Ott. In this vicinity the cloth was not woven for the
men’s suits but was bought in Chicago, and sewed by
hand with a very heavy black thread. The women did
the sewing after the children were in bed. The spinning
wheels which the German and Alsatian settlers brought
from Germany and Alsace were used to make the yarn
for stockings, mittens, and large scarfs which took the
place of overcoats. Mr. George Rockenbach has one that
his mother knitted.
After the log house era frame houses were erected.
These were very simple structures, built on the ground
without cellars under them, but with board instead of
dirt floors. A few had vegetable cellars. The first frame
house at the west end of the township that was at all
pretentious was the one built by Christian Schwingel.
now owned by Mr. Kellogg, of the Kellogg Switchboard
Company, known as the Grove Farm, and occupied by
E. L. Vinyard. It had a pantry, a cistern, and a pump
on the porch, which was the height of luxury. Good
houses began to be built in 1850, and many are still
in use.
Courtship in the early days of our township was con
ducted under difficulties. In a one room log cabin that
contained the beds of the parents and seven or more
children, the stove and other household furniture, there
was little privacy, so courting days were short. The
young people usually took walks in the woods. The
amusements were few. Sliding on the ice in winter, at
tending spelling, writing and singing schools, and among
the young men engaging in feats to show strength such
as lifting barrels of flour, and wrestling were among
their pastimes. Fist fights sometimes decorated their
drab, dull lives, as when the boys of the east and of the
west prairies met in swimming in the Desplaines River
seventy years ago, and forty years ago when the Everett
gang met the Deerfield one.
One pioneer said, “When I was young we folk held
our dancing parties in any house that had three rooms,
and if there was but one room we moved the stove and
bed out of doors, brought our fiddler and had our dance.
When it was over we moved the stove and bed back in
place and returned home in one sleigh loaded with plenty
of straw.”
DEERFIELD FAMILIES
Genealogy is an interesting study, for when one con
siders how rapidly one’s ancestors multiply (as well as
one’s descendents) two parents, four grandparents, eight
great-grandparents, and so on, until one finds that at the
time of the discovery of America, about fourteen genera
tions back, the average American now living has 1G.384
ancestors in a single ancestral generation. A good geneology describes the historical roots of the family tree, it
gives names, dates, places and family connections, ac
cording to the Eugenical News of April, 1923.

Uie observance of the centennial under present than
under normal conditions. We must have knowledge of
the thrilling story of service, of high and lol'ty accom
plishment of the pioneer citizens of Illinois. They chal
lenge us to measure up to the responsibilities of our
forefathers. The torch guiding all liberty loving people
today is Abraham Lincoln. Of all the men the world
has produced he is the exemplification of democracy.
But the luster of his. life should not dim that of other
great lives, such as George Rogers Clark, U. S. Grant,
Nathaniel Pope and Shadrack Bond. An opportunity
will be given to revive the spirit of Illinois so that it
will be felt all over the state, working with war activities.
“Not without thy wondrous story, Illinois,
Can be writ the nation’s glory.”
The Lake County Register Correspondent reported:
The entire intellectual portion of the community Hocked
to the school Thursday evening to hear a big man talk
on a big subject at the P. T. A. meeting. Wallace Rice,
composer of several ballads and a number of pageants
for the Illinois centennial celebration, as well as designer
of the centennial banner, gave an interesting talk on
the wonderful history of the State of Illinois, which
challenges that of any of the other states in the Union.
A group of pupils of the upper grades, under the direc
tion of Miss Lela Glyncli, sang patriotic songs. The girls
of the penny lunch committee reported a profit of over
$9, which sum will be used to buy a service flag for
the school. Mrs. Supple appointed the committee.
Such stories as the following were written by the
pupils and combined in a book that contains photographs
of log cabins and schools and is in the Deerfield school.

DEERFIELD
Deerfield was so named after the numerous deer that
roamed in this locality, which was the highest place
between the Des Plaines river and Lake Michigan.
The early roads were located in about the same places
as they are now, with the exception of one which for
merly extended from Mr. Reay’s residence to Mr. Lidgerwood’s residence. These roads were very narrow and
crooked.
The bridges were built in an entirely different manner
than they are at present, the foundation being made
by laying saplings over a pile of brush. They were
commonly called “corduroy bridges” because of their
striking resemblance to that kind of material. The peo
ple traveled by land, in what were called “prairie
schooners” or by water in large “flat boats.” The nouses
were crudely built, many of them being log cabins, but
they served their purpose very well.
As early as 183 C almost all of the Indians had gone
to reservations, although a few of them still remained.
Some would travel in this vicinity often begging, and
others from northern Wisconsin would come to receive
payments on the land they had sold to the white settlers.
Many relics such as arrow heads and hatchets have been
found by some of our local citizens.
Our school district No. 109 was organized in IS60.
The first school was situated opposite Mr. Bert Easton’s
farm* it was very Crudely built of rough boards. The
first town school was built on Anderson’s corner. Con
veniences such as we have new were then unknown.
The furniture and other articles of these small schools
was very poor. The building that stood on the corner
was moved in 1903 to its present site; this school burned
down and a new one was erected in 1913.
In 1S60 a runaway slave, called “Andrew Jackson.”
came through Deerfield, where he stayed with Mr. Lorenz
nH. who lived where Mr. Orman Rockenbach now lives.
Tat'er he lived with Mr. Lyman Wilmot until the Civil
War was over. He had many hardships to endure while
hP was with cruel masters, but later he was taught to
rpad and write, and in return he showed the white
- npnnle how to tie com with a stalk of corn and many
other methods of farming. This is one incident of the
onii slavery activities.

TELEPHONE SERVICE
The first telephone call that went out of Deerfield was
made by Dr. T. L. Knaak from his drug store on Deer
field Road to his son, Theodore J. Knaak, who was in
Weinberger’s Drug Store on Chicago Avenue and Wells
Street in 189S. This
r_
was the first public or private telephone in the village.
Ten subscribers were necessary for the installation of
service.
The Chicago Telephone Company brought its lines into
Deerfield in January, 1903. The first office was in
Knaak’s old drug store on Deerfield Road. In 1911 it
was moved upstairs. Different members of that family
assisted in the service. Among others who were em
ployed were Ralph Peterson, Anna Petersen, Ella and
Ralph I-Iorenberger, Cora Cooksey, Nina Knigge, Ray
mond Goodman, Gertrude Gastfield, Martha Hagi, Peter
Perry Florence Goodman, Amelia Petersen, Helen
Schinleber.
In 1913 the exchange was moved to the Antes building
at the' corner of Deerfield and Waukegan Roads, and a
Mr. Smith had the exchange.
Raymond Goodman served as a night operator.
In 1914, Mrs. Frances Garrity took charge of the Deerfield exchange, and when one board was all that was
necessary for the needs of the village, with one operator,
a service second to no other was maintained.
So faithful was she in the discharge of her duties, and
so remarkable was her memory of calls made, that if an
attempt had been made by a subscirber to get a desired
party, and was unsuccessful, because of the absence of
the one called, that when the caller indicated her return
home by telephoning someone, Mrs. Garriety would say,
"Mrs. —-------- has been trying to get you,” and thus
complete the call hours afterwards.
The winter of 1917, when the snow was so deep that
not a wheel turned on the roads for three days, and it
was necessary to close the school because of the difficulty
to get children from the outskirts of the district to
school, the president of the school board called up each
family that had a telephone, on three successive evenings,
to announce that no school could be held because two
or the teachers had been unable to return from Wau• conda, and Mrs. Garrity on her own initiative, called
each family that had children in school, without waiting
for numbers to be requested, as each call was com
pleted, thus each family was notified without delay.
Many other such instances could be related of her
quick wit and keen sympathy in times of disasters and
accidents, when help was needed, in securing aid of
different kinds. Mrs. Garrity is still giving the same
amount of time to the service and has had as her main
assistants on the board her mother, Mrs. Anna Curley
Flood, and her daughter, Miss Marjorie Garrity. No
eight-hour day was observed by Mrs. Garrity. Her duties
frequently kept her at the board for twelve hours.
In 192 4 a second board was put in operation and a
regular assistant was hired.
In 19 27 a fourth switch board was installed in order
to take care of the increasing population. There are
now 4 80 subscribers.
Federal Tax Off Telephone Calls Removed After MidNight-, July 2, 1924, and An Increased Use
of Wires Expected.
“After midnight on Wednesday, July 2nd, and toll
on long distance telephone messages are free from the
federal tax, which has been in effect since April 1, 1919,”
states Commercial Manager Judd this morning, in an
announcement issued July 1.
“This tax of 5 cents on each message of from 15 to
50 cents, and 10 cents on each message of over 50 cents,
added materially to the cost of telephoning, especially
on toll messages over moderate distances,” said Manager
Judd, “and its removal will permit more liberal use of
the service without adding to the cost.”
Mr. Judd stated that the telephone company, anticipat
ing an increased use of the toll service, particularly
to nearby points, has provided additional equipment and
personnel to meet the demand.

The first real information of Andrew Jackson, the runaway slave, Samuel
Ott. imparts to this generation. 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.

"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.)

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

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.

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.

Message from the
Director
Bravo, Judy Hortin!
Our steadfast Head
of Reference, Judy
Hortin, is retiring
after nearly twenty
years of dedicated
service to our com
munity and library.
Never one to draw attention to herself,
Judy wants to slip quietly out the door
without fanfare. Nevertheless, we know
many of you will miss her nearly as
much as we will, so we pay special
tribute to her in our newsletter.
Thank you, Judy, for the strong
example you have set of excellent
service and professionalism.
“A person’s a person,
no matter how small. ”
— Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who!
r.
s4tx\
“There are no small questions. ”
— Judy Hortin
When Judy Hortin retires from her
position as Head of Reference at the
end of the summer, it’s the stories of
the people she’s worked with and helped,
not the ones printed in books, that will mean the most to her.
“What I’ll miss most is the mix of working with people and the intellectual
stimulation of the brain. I really eryoy being around people who care about
the same things that I do—cultural pursuits,” said Hortin.
Iron Chef Deerfield
Which teen’s cuisine
reigns supreme? Iron
f
Chef Deerfield, a
cooking competition
for high school stu
dents based on the
popular TV show, pre
mieres at 2 p.m. on October 18. Six teams of
teens (up to three per team) will show off
their improv cooking chops to a live audi
ence. After learning their surprise ingredi
ents, these budding chefs will have one
hour and access to the Library’s extensive
cookbook collection to plan and prepare a
meal to serve our discerning tasting panel.
This program is part of the American
Library Association’s Teen Read Week,
“Books with Bite.” All materials will be
provided by the Library. Space is limited,
so please call (847) 945-3311 ext. 19 to
reserve your place.
■>
Fortunately for Judy’s coworkers, her definition of culture is a broad one.
One of Judy’s most lasting contributions to Deerfield Public Library’s cultural
archive will be her fearless, and often funny, song stylings—a children’s
classic at the holidays, custom lyrics to a popular tune, some Civil War ditty
that she claims she dug up while answering a reference question.
Library Director Mary Pergander thanks Judy for “the strong example she has
set of excellent service and professionalism.” Judy’s patience, kindness, sense
of fun, and passion for helping others will remain models for all who had the
great joy of working with her.

soys and Girls Read
A concerned parent remarked that we
seemed to be favoring boys over girls in some
recent youth programming. Temporarily, that
was true. We received grant money to pro
mote reading among boys, based on evidence
that some boys need focused assistance to be
strong readers. The grant and additional local
funding allowed us to offer several boy-target
ed reading programs. We are delighted that
many girls have requested extra attention,
too, and we now offer reading clubs for girls,
as well. And of course, both boys and girls
ei\joy reading to our furry, four-legged K-9
Reading Buddies each month. For more infor
mation about reading programs for girls
and/or boys, see our fall book discussions!

Message from the

Spring is the time
.
when all things
;
come alive again,

Boys and Reading:
What’s the Problem? What’s the Solution?
Parents and teachers concerned with the question, “How can we get
boys to read?" will want to hear award-winning author Marc
Aronson’s answers. Aronson believes the key to helping boys succeed
at reading is to find out what interests them. He says, “But we do the
opposite. We treat reading as novel reading and tell boys who like
facts, battles, sports magazines, websites, or fantasy that they are not
readers.” In this presentation, Dr. Aronson shows how to build
bridges to reading by seeing boys for who they are.
Monday, March 10, 7 p.m. Space is limited.
Author Marc
Aronson
To make reservations, please call 847-945-3311.
We also take special pleasure in bring
ing the Library out into the community.
With “One Book, One Zip Code,” we are
doing just that! In cooperation with our
community partners (see accompanying
article), One Book programs will occur
in convenient locations throughout the
three-village area. Our Friends group
has been pursuing service outside the
Library, as well. Their popular paper
back bookrack at the train station
provides entertaining reading materials
even for those too busy to squeeze in a
visit to the Library.
Speaking of squeezing into the
Library...
Many of you have begun to ask if there
are plans for the building itself. As
reported in thz Deerfield Review, we
love our downtown location in the
heart of the community. We are cur
rently exploring ways to reconfigure
and refresh the space we have and
considering a possible addition that
would increase our ability to meet
changing community needs and
interests. What can we do for YOU?
This program is a part ofDeerfield Public Library’s Reading Warriors grant. Fundingfor this
grant was awarded by the Illinois Slate Library a division of the Office ofSecretary ofState\ using

One Book, One Zip Code
2008: Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
Community-wide reading programs like “One Book, One Chicago” are becoming popu
lar across the country and around the world. Last year, representatives from Deerfield,
Bannockburn, and Riverwoods began planning our first One Book program. The title
“One Book, One Zip Code” reflects our desire to make sure that everyone in the 60015
zip code feels equally invited to join this community of readers.
*
This spring we invite you to read Mountains Beyond
Mountains, by Tracy Kidder. This nonfiction bestseller
follows “the quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, the man who
would cure the world.” Kidder focuses on Farmer’s
work in Haiti and his dedication to providing preferen
tial health care options for the poor. Inspiring and
thought provoking, the book captivatingly explores the
issues of poverty, health care, and international aid.

Are You a Poet and You Don’t Know It?
Rosemaiy Sazonoff Third Annual Writing Contest
January 4- February 16.
This year the Rosemary Sazonoff Creative Writing Contest focuses
specifically on poetry. There will be one contest for adults and #
a separate contest for children, grades 2-8. Rosemary

public activist and lifetime library user. The contest is
held in her memory.
The poetry contest encourages your creativity: memories, present thoughts or future think

chance of winning. You can try haiku, narrative (story poem), song lyrics (ok to rhyme),
dramatic dialogue, or dedicate your poem to someone or something.
Need help with this poetry writing? We will have two workshops to jump start your cre
ativity! If you plan to attend, please reserve your space!
□ Saturday, January 9,9:30 a.m.to noon. Poetry writing workshop for adults, from
junior high age on up. This will be a hands-on exercise and exposition on lyric, narrative
and dramatic forms of poetry.
E3 Saturday, January 16,9:30 a.m. to noon. A poetry workshop for children, grades 2-5.
Hands-on exercises including image builders, five senses, colors, personal expression.
Workshop leader is Cynthia Gallaher, author of a new book of Chicago poems,
Swimmer’s Prayer. She has led workshops in schools, libraries and community centers.
There are monetary prizes for the top three winners of the childrens’ and the adults’ con
test. Winners will read from their work at the adult party at 2 p.m. Sunday, February 28
and the children’s party at 7 p.m. February 25. Pick up entry forms at Adult Reference or

□ Why do we we purchase more abridged
than unabridged books on tape? Many
patrons don’t want to carry 12 or more cas
settes when they ride the train or jog. Also,
fewer popular titles are available in
unabridged format and are costly. We are
increasing our unabridged collection but if
we do not own we can arrange an interli

Barns never fell down when I was a kid. Yet as
you drive across rural America today that is the com
mon denominator of all states-barns falling down. I
have been struck by this phenomenon for quite some
time and I am pretty sure about what it means. Is it
the rise of absentee landlords, loss of output, lack of
self respect, closing out of the smaller farms, or what
I suspect most: a continued depopulation of rural
America? Actually it is all of these things, and more.
This represents a real change for the heartland
of America. No longer the rock-ribbed center of our
society, rural America now is owned and managed
by large real estate conglomerates, populated during
desirable weather by rich urban rusticators Land not
given over to rustication by urban dudes in their pickup
trucks and useless four-wheel drives has been sec
onded into giant 3000 acre farms churning out a gross
national agricultural product big enough to feed China.
All overseen by banks more interested in the bottom
line than abstractions like rural life.
These events force more and more rural folks off
the lands, raise their taxes, close them out of land
ownership, and give the most choice parcels to city

continued from pagel
people. Of course they let their barns fall
down. But what is this doing to us as a
society? Seeing my grandparents’ home
town of Rockwell City. Iowa not as a cru
cible of commerce, or trumpet of trade, but
as a forlorn relic really hurts. Where are
all the rural Americans, why did they go.
and where do they live now?
The reasons are almost as simple as
the enclosure laws that preceded the In
dustrial Revolution. Farms expanded in
size as units of service, the 1970's and
1980's bankrupted what was left of the
family farm, herbicides, pesticides and a
liquid nitrogen changed the way anything
is raised in America. When I was a kid, a
large hog farm was 100 porkers. Today,
across America, a large hog operation is
a hundred thousand hogs fouling the air
and water for five hundred square miles.
Not only a change in farming, but a mas
sive incursion into the environment as well
as the social strata of rural America. In
urban Chicago welfare is a code word for
racism; in rural America welfare means
half the shrunken population of any given
county.
Why mourn these changes? I suppose
at the basic level it is a feeling for me of a
personal loss of identity. I knew and iden
tified with a way of life that is gone forever.
But I also mourn the loss of a value sys
tem that placed family first, hard work and
industry second, with education underlay
ing both ideas. Instead of a therapist, a tight
knit circle of relatives and friends provided
support and comfort. I look at my grand
parents' home and remember a college
professor, banker, a head of a Fortune 500
company who grew up there. Now it looks
like someone who married his sister lives
there.
Where they all went is a mystery to me.
Many went on to college and never looked
back, others disappeared into low-paying
industrial jobs in the rust belt. But so many
characters I knew as a kid could never sur
vive in the city—no skills, eccentric beyond
description, independent beyond taming.
A rough-hewn class of rough cobs, who
could shoot out a pheasant’s eye at a hun
dred yards, always willing to help eat a pie
or give a hand to a neighbor down on their
luck, they populated Faulkner's Missis
