Digital Deerfield:
DHS Yearbooks and more!
Story on page 2
�From the Director
In past columns, I’ve alluded to the
planned renovation of our Media area.
As this newsletter goes to press, we are
about ready to begin construction of
our new MakerSpace, a collaborative
workspace. First, the shelves will be
rotated, and the Media desk will be
moved. Later in August, we anticipate
full construction to begin, which should last approximately
4-6 weeks. Watch our social media channels and website
(deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace) for information about
the opening of the new space.
The Library is committed to meeting the needs of our
community. We undertook this project as part of the Library’s
current Strategic Plan. From our research and planning in 2016,
we knew there was an interest in increased STEAM-related
offerings. The STEAM acronym stands for Science, Technology,
Engineering, Art, and Math. Since 2017, we have continued to
add new STEAM programs. These have included our popular
3D printing programs, as well as Tech Drop-ins, that provide
a casual opportunity to see new technologies in action.
We have also added non-traditional items, like our Discovery
Kits, to the library’s collection. The Discovery Kits focus on
STEAM and other creative concepts with hands-on making.
A kit is a curated collection of items available around a theme.
The new MakerSpace is going to house STEAM-related equipment and provide additional table seating for people to use all
hours the Library is open. When the construction is completed,
we will have a new, larger service desk across from the book
return, which will serve Media and additional patron needs.
There is more to share! Turn to page 11 for a rendering of the
new space, as well as a list of some of the equipment that we
will have available.

�LYMAN WILMOT I-JOUSE
601 WilmoL Road
Deerfield, Illinois
The origi^31 pioneer house, probably a cabin, was built ca. 1840, with
additions and revisions over the years. It is, I believe, the oldest
occupied building in Lake County, an opinion confirmed by the Director of
Archives of Lake County Museum, Wauconda, Illinois. The only older
standing structure being a log cabin erected, three years earlier which has
been moved and is a part of a historical village in a Deerfield,park.
At a later date, but still early, a coach house was added to the property
and used for the Wilmots' wagons, carriages, and horses.
The structures still show early detail, especially hand-hewn beams and a
stone'foundation in the house cellar.
A unique feature of the coach house is a tower section which once contained
an inside water tank. And in the house, still to be seen after more than a
hundred years, are the initials scratched in a windowpane of Roswell
Wilmot, one of Lyman Wilmot's sons.
After the deaths of Lyman and Clarissa Wilmot in the 1890s (they are buried
m Deerfield Cemetery), the property passed into the hands of various
members of the family and others to the present day. Although changes have
been made m the.property - to be expected in 155 years - it still retains
integrity as a pioneer home. Much of Wilmot1s original acreage has been
sold off over the years, but the remaining property, the size of three
normal house lots, is very impressive and is unique in the community on a
street bearing the historic Wilmot name.
Lyman Wilmot was.a seventh generation descendant of immigrants from England
who came to America m 1637 and were among the earliest settlers of
Connecticut. He was born in Boone County, New York, in 1806.
In 1834 Lyman's brother Jesse Wilmot journeyed to what is now the Deerfield
another on the western edge of the present village.

�-2its superintendent and his wife taught. The school bears their name to
this day. My children attended this school at one time and my grandchildren
do now, where they are "celebrities" to their friends because they live in
"Mr. Wilmot's house."
The Wilmot family were ardent supporters of the North's cause during the
Civil War. They were dedicated abolitionists and their home became a stop
on the Underground Railroad where slaves were harbored on their way to
Canada. One escaped slave was sheltered by them throughout the war.
The Lyman Wilmot family was significant in the founding and early develop
ment of the community of Deerfield, and their still-standing historic
residence - evolved as it may be - is probably the oldest occupied building
in Lake County.
This record of the pioneer Lyman Wilmot family was presented to the
Deerfield Historical Society by Richard Hart of Riverwoods, Illinois, an
owner of the property in June, 1995
(
�The Wilmot homestead is located at 601 Wilmot Road. The original
house consisted of a kitchen and living room with a "ladder" stairway
to the space above them - the sleeping loft. One of the stories perpetuated
about the home is that it once was an underground station for runaway
slaves during the Civil War. Lyman Wilmot was known to have been an
abolitionist.
Several additions have been made through the years. In the 1920's
the sun porch shown below was added. This became the main entry to
the house.
The other structure on the property is the coach house, built to
house the coaches, or horse-drawn carriages, owned by the Wilmots. Three
garages are now on the ground level. The second floor was originally
a hay loft; it is now an apartment.
Attached to the coach house is a
shop, and an office that was formerly a greenhouse.
�SETTLING IN
The title of "disputed" first settler in Deerfield is held by
Jesse Wilmot. He came by flatboat up the north branch of the Chicago
River (that's the trickle under the bridge on Deerfield Road by the
Garden Apartments) and spent the winter of 1834 here alone, As he was
just scouting the area, he was not considered a settler.
Meehans and Lambs are listed as early settlers, but one historian
gives credit for first permanent residency to the Cadwells.
Jacob
Cadwe11 and his family came from Vermont and settled here in 1835.
As they settled around what is now the corner of Waukegan and Deerfield
Roads, the town became known as Cadwell Corners, That name, remained
until 1849-50 when there was a vote to rename the town. Many German
and Irish settlers had arrived by then. Irish people wanted another
Erin. John Millen (who was from Deerfield, Massachusetts) suggested
Deerfield as it seemed to fit the area with its abundance of wild deer.
When the vote was taken, Deerfield won by four votes.
Meanwhile Jesse Wilmot returned with his family and settled on land
that is now around Greenwood Avenue. He convinced his brother to
investigate the area, and Lyman did just that in 1837. He then returned
to New York for his family and finally settled in the fall of 1840 on
240 acres of wild land around what is now Wilmot School. Here Lyman
and Clarissa Wilmot raised six sons and three daughters.

HISTORY OF LAKE COUNTY.
Bartlett, followed him west in 1836, locating
near Libcrtyvillc.
Richard and Ransom Steele came to the
county in 1S34, made claims and erected a house
about two and one-half miles south of Libcr
tyvillc. Returning cast for their families in the
early winter, they occupied the new home in
February, 1835. In this house, June 20, 1835,
Albert B. Steele was born. He was the son of
•Mr. and Mrs. Richard Steele, and was the first
white child born within the limits of what is
Sclllcrs Increase—River Claims Preferred—First
Census Taken—Partial List of Pioneers—
Trappers Who Departed When Permanent
Settlers Came—Stories of the Early Residents
—How They Came and Where They Located
—Wynkoop's Deer Park.
Richard and Ransom Steele, came to Lake
o
~
.
,
County in 1835. Moses Putney also made a
....
,
claim in the same neighborhood in 183.1, as did
Andrew S. Wells.
Jacob Miller came out from Chicago in 1834
and built a sawmill near the mouth of Mill
Creek, not far from the town line now separating
Warren from Newport; went back to the city
for the winter, and returned to the mill early
in 1835. He also erected a flouring mill, the first
in the county, as far as can be ascertained.
William Green prospected on the east side
of the river, in Libcrtyvillc, in 1834, but did
not permanently locate there until 1837.
Jesse Wilmot built a home in Deerfield in
1834, and) “bached" it for a year. Lyman, his
brother, spent the summer with him, then re
turning cast, where he remained until 1840, after
which, until his death,_ he resided in this county.
Joseph Flint located a claim in Cuba town
ship, probably in 1834, which was occupied by
his bachelor son, Amos Flint, who died in 1837
or 1838. The log house, whioh was jointly oc
cupied by an aunt, Mrs. Grace Flint, and V. H.
Freeman and family, burned during their first
winter,' leaving them in a pitiable condition.
Timber was plenty, however, and but little time
elapsed before a temporary shelter replaced the
burned structure. Flint Creek, in Cuba, still
bears the name of the pioneer of .that township.
Joseph Flint is understood to have returned cast
immediacy after locating the claim. Thomas
Ballard, who came to Vernon in 1835, also lost
a house by fire, but before his family or furniture
had been moved in.
It is probably true that Captain Wright’s was
the only family to spend the entire winter of
1834-5 in Lake County, although it is claimed
by William E. Sundcrlin that his uncle, Pclcg
Sunderhn, and family spent that season in their
log home tin the York House neighborhood north
west of Waukegan.
, .
, ,
......
claims taken up were almost entirely along the
?
,
Dcs Plaines River. The early settlers signed
agreements that when the land was surveyed and
sold they would deed to each other any that
might be within the lines staked out as "claims."
These agreements were usually carried out, al
though some litigation resulted,
The river
claims were quickly taken and those bordering
the lakes or small streams, especially when it
happened that there was a grove located near,
were usually the next ones to be secured. Those
living along the river suffered most with chills
and fever—those banes of pioneer life— and the .
prairie settlers found some compensation for
being compelled to at once dig wells because of
at least partial exemption from the ague. The
agreements to deed back and forth any land
embraced in a claim, regardless of section lines,
accounts for the irregular shape of many farms
in various parts of the county, and explains the
long, narrow subdivisions so common along the
Des Plaines.
• *
It is not easy at this late day to make a
complete and accurate list of all who came in
1835. to separate them from those who came
a year or two later, or to state just the locali
ties where they settled. A few remained but
a short time, although a majority made this
their permanent home. The following list prob
ably embraces most of those who came in 1835:
In Vernon there were James Chambers, Clark
Knights, Alonzo Cook, Moody Rowd, Henry
Walton. Jonathan Rice. William Easton. B. F.
Washburn. J. M. Washburn*, Mathias Mason.
Asahcl Talcott, Roswell Rose, Andrew S. Wells,
Henry Wells, William Whigam. John Gridlcy
and his sons. Elisha. George and John T. Gridley. William Easton and his sons. Robert and
John Easton. John A. Mills. Erastus Bailey,
Matthew Hoffman and Moses Putney.
In Libcrtyvillc there were Richard Steele.

iVsn \m.C, 3 not known t0 kcr descendants. She died about
Nnrih M
or elghtjr-eight. and was buried in tho first
ivoitli Northficld Cemetery.
Another member of the Gutzler household was old Grctel.
V. i huousekceper, who came to America with them. Grctel
cued about March. 18G0. She had some money "out," und
oy the will of Philip Gutzler (who died January 7. 185G)
as to be given a home with his.son, or have another found
.r her. A small house was built for Gretel across the
road, and after she died It became the property of Mr. Hess.
The will also provided that the eldest son (or one of the
two elder sons) should care for the younger Gutzlcr chil
dren, and pay to each one thousand dollars, when lie or she
became of age. Philip Gutzler, the eldest son, fulfilled these
requirements and acquired the homestead, eighty acres of
woodland, also sonic money invested.
Philip Jacob Gutzler, his wife, who was Margaret Eliza
beth Hetzcl, and their daughter, Salome (born in Gertshelm, July 9, 1837, and died In Deerfield in December, 1S50),
were burled in the old Evangelical Association Churchyard
In North Northficld. 111. About, fifty years later (about
’.905) under the supervision of Philip Jacob Gutzler’s daughter, Mrs. Lydia Himmel, the three caskets wero disinterred
intact and removed to the newer cemetery half a milcT'east
of the church.
Philip Gutzler was born In Gcrsthcim, April 2, 1830. and
camo to Deerfield with his parents In 1841. He attended
the Wilmot School, and lived the usual life of a boy on the
.farm. When he was nineteen the whole United States was
electrified by the rumor of astounding gold discoveries In
our newly acquired territory of California. It was almost
without inhabitants, and the field was open to all who could
get there. The wildest excitement and activity prevailed
throughout the country, and every city and village throbbed
with feverish Impulse to rush to the "diggings." The
boys on the farm "out west," as Illinois was then called,
did not escape-the contagion.
Tho maps then published showed all of the territory west
of the state of Missouri as a blank across which was printed
the words "Great American Desert." The difilculty of
reaching this unknown country restrained thousands from
the attempt, so that those only who possessed natural
courage or adventurous proclivities actually made the great
plunge.
In 1851, Philip Gutzler could no longer resist the golden
lure, and being then or age, felt that he was free to go,
and, in company with several other young men or the neigh
borhood (among whom were Jacob Ott and Ills nephew.
Jacob Ott. Philip Ott. Andrew Meier, George Arnold, Philip
Lehman and one of the Luther boys), started bn the Jour
ney. The "Argonauts” had several routes from which to
choose: A tedious sea journey around Cape Horn, a partly '
sea and partly land route across the Isthmus of Panama,
or Nicaragua, or Mexico, or following westward the buf
falo trails which were already outlined by the bleaching
bones of beasts and men who had succumbed to the hard
ships of the desert, or had been killed by tho Indians. Tho

The ocean voyages, with the poor accommodations of tho
uotnrlnuiily lundoqunln vnminln. worn a much drnadod part
*»f llio JournXsy; but ail ho ulwayu wau n good a uullor, Philip
Gutzlcr was In better health and spirits than tho majority
or the paaoengoro when they came to anchor In tho Harbor
of Chagreo.
Travel ucroiiii the liilhimm wan by cniiouu, or buugon, up
tho Chagres River, following about tlio samo lino as the
Panama Canal, was dug- sixty years later. Part of the
distance tho men walked and over some of the way they
wero carried In chairs strapped on the backs of the natives.
These natives, who beforo the "Gold Rush" were exception
ally honest people, by two years' contact with American
radians, had been changed to thieves and murderers, and
the whole route across tho Isthmus was Infested with Amer. lean, English and Spanish highwaymen, who pounced upon
defenseless travellers at every opportunity. After crossing
the Isthmus there was another sea journey (which some
times took three months) beforo they passed through the
Golden Gate, and stepped ashore upon the "Promised Land.”
Philip Gutzler’s next five years were spent In the vicinity
of San Francisco, Sacramento, Monterey, and Santa Cruz.
For five years tho "rush" continued. Some of the dis
coveries were wonderful, but the greater number of people,
wrought to a pitch of nervous frenzy by the myriad reports
flying about, were too easily Influenced to leave a locality
of moderate wealth to plunge into the unknown beyond the
mountains.
After months of fruitless searching for the proclaimed
‘Inexhaustible focus of gold," they would return those who
had not succumbed to privation—poverty stricken and rag
ged, to find the claims they had left already occupied.by
fresh arrivals.
This sort of work was too uncertain to suit Philip Gutzler,
so after two years of Indifferent success at placer mining,
lie started-to grow wheat. Some of the time that he was In.
California flour was as high as one dollar a pound, and
many a man mined half a day to pay the price of a loaf
of bread.
Sugar cost a dollar a pound, and butter two dollars and
a half.
The producer’s profits were certain and though not large
compared to that of the most fortunate gold seeker’s, at any
rnto Inrgo onougli to prove tho wisdom of his choice.
Philip Gutzler prospered until ho had a severe attack of
typhoid fever. With .this, and its attendant ills, he was
sick for a year. A man nurse was employed when the
most ordinary labor cost ten dollars a day. Eggs >vere
ono dollar each, and milk seventy-five cents a quart. This
year’s sickness cost Philip Gutzler a small fortune, but,
even with such* great expense, the years spent in Californfa
pyi>—l profitable.
The first letter to reach him from his Illinois home told
of his mother’s death, and after being away five years, he
was called home by the death of Ills father. By that time
a railroad had been built so the Journey was not attended
with so many hardships.
?
On his return It was arranged that Philip should tako his
father’s farm, care for the younger children of the family,
and as his six brothers and sisters became of age, to pay
each one thousand dollars.
On July 29, 1857, Philip Gutzler married Adclla Wilmot
daughter of Lyman and Clarissa Dwight Wilmot. The re
mainder of his life was spent on the old homestead where
ho led tho active life of a successful farmer. Plls last six
years were marred by falling health, and on. June 30, 18S2,
he died at the age of fifty-two, respected as a man of the
highest honor. After his death the farm was sold to George
Stryker.
Michael was tlje second son or Philip Jacob Gutzler and
his wire, Margaret Elizabeth I-Ictzcl. Michael was born
June 15, 1833,, In Gcrsthcim. Alsace. He married Mary

The first post office in Deerfield Township was in the Median settlement, under
the name of Emmett, in 1846. The second was established on January 13, 1849, in St.Johns,
A’hich name was changed to Port Clinton on March 19, 1850. Both were forerunners of the
; first post office in Highland Park, on December 14, 1861. St. Johns was located on a
r' bluff on both sides of the first ravine to be crossed on entering Fort Sheridan reservaat the main south gate. It was named by John Peterman and John'Hettinger, of German
extraction, who laid out the town, and incorporated it under their Christian names.

first post office in the village of Deerfield was established May 4, 1850.
Deerfield was a settlement of buildings at the crossing of Waukegan Road and Deerfield
Road, but in those days, the roads were muddy except where planks were laid for wagon
wheels, and there were farms on both sides of the rutty road west thru the Wilmot farm to
the Des Plaines River. Caleb Cadwell was appointed post master, and the first office was
in his home. He owned buildings on both sides of Waukegan Road. Assisted by his daughter,
Rosclla, Cadwell served until 1854. A list of the postmasters in Deerfield since Cadwell:

For seventeen years there was a post office serving the area north of

Abolition
Tho abolitionist sentiment existed in Deerfield
and Its adjacent areas. A “station" on the
Underground Railroad was operated by Lyman
Wilmot, and a runaway slave was received here
and given quarters for the v/lnter of 1058 at the
home of Lorenz OIL’ Abolitionists from Highland
Park would come to Deerfield to debate the Issuo
at the corner of Deerfield and Waukegan Roads.1
The runaway slave, Andrew Jackson, was 20
years old and came from a Mississippi plantation.
His father was the plantation owner, a white man,
and because of this, the slavo received greater
liberty than other slaves, providing /him with an
opportunity to escape. His flight from Mississippi
was an ordeal which included temporary capture
by his pursuers.*
i
Jackson lived with the Ott family, and did
chores while there. He built a while picket fence
and gale, but asked that it be taken down when
tho slaves were freed-German thrift could not ac
cede to this request. In the spring, Jackson was
taken to Chicago from where ho sailed to Canada.
He corresponded with the Ott family from there.4
The abolitionist sentiment was not universally
embraced, however, and many men were unable
to acknowledge a personal involvement in the
abolition Issuc-parlicuiarly In the resulting war.*
Antiv/ar sentiment was so strong that a bounty
was required to induce enlistments. The bounty
was $40 per man at tho beginning of the war, but It
was 51 COO by the end.*
There were a few “copperhead” and "a lodge or
two ol Knights of the Golden Circle,"* which wore
southern sympalhiziers, but “never constituted an
effective fifth column."' A strong Union League
existed to counteract any disloyalty that may
have disgraced the County.*

CIVIL WAR
Doorflold Grand Army of tho Republic
Captain McCaul’s Shield Guards were ap
parently the first volunteers. Their formation was
announced on April 20, 1061, and Ihcy Joined an
I
Irish regiment In Chicago.'* On April 29, 1061,
nlnoly volunteers from southern Lake County art
rived at Waukegan." On May 4,1061, the Union RIv
fie Guards were formed. On June 6, the County
Board of Supervisors appropriated 55,000 for
bounties to encourage enlistments."
During the summer of 1061, Companies C and F
of the 37lh Illinois Infantry were organized. Cap
tain Eugcno B. Payne and Captain Erwin B.
Messer were tho officers of these Companies.
During the winter of 1061-1062, half of Company I,
45th Illinois Infantry, and half of Company F of the
C5th Infantry were organized; Company G of the
51st Illinois Infantry was organized, and all went
to Camp Douglas.w it Is not certain whether Virgil
Wilmot, the son of Lyman Wllmot who operated
the underground railroad, served In the 45th" or
the 55lh" Illinois Infantry.
Thomas Mooney of Deerfield had the unique
service record of serving on both sides. He was In
ducted Into the Confederate Army while working
as an engineer on a Mississippi River steamboat,
but escaped after two years and Joined the Union
Army."

Wright’s daughter, Caroline, married William
Whlgham in 1036. It was the first marriage In Lake
Counly, and Hiram Kennlcott, first Justice of the
Peace, performed the ceremony at the •'Mill" on
the Dos Plaines River.”
The Wright farm spanned the Des Plaines River,
and port ol it is now the Rycrson Conservation
Area in Rivorwoods. Wright died December 30.
1073 at the age of 95. His farm was In the name of'
William Whlgham on the 191G Plat Map. Ho had
married Rachel Millard in 1045.”
The first soltler In Deerfield Township was
Michael Meehan. Ho arrived in a covered wagon
drawn by two oxen and settled on Section 10 on
Telegraph Road in 1035, between Half Day Road
and Wilmol Road.” Meehan was born In 1000 at
Meath, Ireland. He married Drldgel Monahan In
1032, and emigrated to the United Slates that
same year. Ho went first to Salina, New York, and
later to Michigan, but in tho aulumn of 1035 he
came finally to Deerfield. The Indians hod not loft
the area yet, and the township was still in its
natural state. Meehan plowed the first furrow in
the township.”
Ho was relatively well slocked with provisions
when he arrived in Deerfield, for he had several
barrels of flour and a barrel of beef and pork. He
also had the cash to purchase seed, oats and
potatoes in the following spring, and he bought
the first piglet and first pair of kittens as well. He
erected a log cabin on the 225 acres that pre
empted, and the land hod not yet been surveyed
(therefore it was still government land obtained
from the Indian Treaty). Ho loft the farm for a brief
attempt at gold mining in California in 1052 but
realized the futility and quickly returned. ”
Meehan continued to work his farm until 1076
when, at the age of 60. he retired, sold his farm to
James O’Connor, a neighbor and rclatlvo and
moved to Highland Park.”
The first settler In what Is now the Village of
Deerfield was Jacob Cadwcll (or perhaps Horace
103*" »• Cadwcl1 ond Laml) arrived |n Deerfield in
Jacob Cadwcll and his wife, Ruble Rich
Cadwcll, had five sons and' two daughters: .
Madison, Philemon. Caleb, Hiram, Edwin, Rubio
Roseth and Jcrusha Rosina.” They all settled on
what is now Waukegan Road near Deerfield Road
For a time this was called ’’Cadwell Corners” but
later it was changed to ’’Deerfield Corners ” The
approximate locations of their homos Is given In
the History ol Dccrliold. by Roichelt. but those
locations are no longer contemporary. The •
7
Cadwell lands were pre-empted under one of the
pro-emptlonblllspassedafter1030(butboforolhe
Distribution Pre-emption act).”
Caleb Cadwell was appointed the first
postmaster In Deerfield In 1050.” The Cadwells
built tho first school — Cadwell School — and
Rosella was tho first teacher. The Cadv/ell School
was opened In 1840, but the Wilmol School - tho
first In the township — was opened In 1847.”
Horace Lamb came to Deerfield In 1835, tho
same year as the Cadwells. It Is not clear, actual*
ly. who was tho first to settle here. Tho Lamb property was located between what Is now
Waukegan road and tho east slough north from
the county lino Into what 13 presently tho country
club. These were later the Vetter and Parsons proparties.”
K
The Wllmols, too, wero among the first settlers
Josso Wllrinot came up tho North Branch In 1034
and landed at what Is now Greenwood Avenue ”
Having stayed In Deerfield through tho winter, ho
returned In 1837 to tho east to bring his own fami*
ly and his brother, Lyman, and his family. Both
families settled west of the village along Wilmol
Road In the Deerfield Road area (none of which
existed at tho time, of course). Tho farm tho
Wilmols built was considered one of tho best and '
most productive In tho area.”
Lyman Wilmol had cloven children, six sons
and five daughters. Ho built the first school In tho
township; tho Wilmots were patrons of education.
They were also abolitionists, and operated a sta
tion on the "underground railroad” which aided
runaway slaves to escape Into Canada.” Mrs.
Clarissa Wilmol, Lyman's v/Ife, was a practical
nurse and midwife who administered to the Infirm
In the absence of the physician, and performed
some diagnostics with tho aid of a medical
manual.”

Ihe Deerfield area. He was the classic bucksklnn*
ed frontiersman. His mother, a Virginian, had
been captured and raised by the Shawnee and
married an English officer at Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Clark's uncle, John Klnzle, was a noted Chicago
pioneer, and his stepfather, Jonas Clybourn, was
also numbered among Chicago’s first settlers.
John Klnzie Clark was raised with the Indians.
He had acquired their ways and was called "In
dian" Clark by settlers, but the Indians named him
"Nannlmoa," the prairie wolf. He was a skilled
hunter and a man of great endurance. He was an
express rider between Fort Wayne, Chicago and
Milwaukee, and brought supplies to Deerfield by
pack saddle. For two years, 1031-33, ho oven serv
ed as the Chicago coroner.
Clark had an Indian wife and a number of
children In Wisconsin, but lator In life married a
whllo woman. Pormclla Scott of DcKalb, and settl
ed In Deerfield. This marriage produced two
daughters, Elizabeth and Haddassah, who marrled Hobart and Walter Millen respectively.
His attempts to farm In Northflcld met with
failure. Clark was a hunter, not a farmer, and his
friends, the Indians, came to hunt and camp with
him on his farm. After he served In the Civil War,
he bought a home In Deerfield In 10G5. Ho is
buried in the Deerfield Cemetery.
Clark was the true frontiersman, apparently not
very adaptable to the agrarian transition that took
place during his lifetime. Those frontier skills
were best suited for survival In the hostile pre
settlement environment which so devastated
those lirst settlors, but they proved to have little
value In post settlement Deerfield.5'

Deerfield Town Named
In 1040 the township was called "Lo Clair.””
The Selection of a permanent name for tho
township — as distinguished from the vlllago
which was not Incorporated or named until
1903—occurred In 1849. A township meeting was
held at the home of Michael Meehan on Tc-legraph
Road. The Irish Immigrants suggested the name"Erin" for Ireland, but John Millen from Deerfield,
Massachusetts, suggested the namo "Deer
field"—noting, a3 the Indians had.observed, that
deer In abundance was a characteristic of tho
area. Tho voto was 17 lo 13 In favor of Doorflold.”

�WILMOT SCHOOL HISTORY

On March 3,
1845 Lyman and Clarissa
Wilmot deeded one quarter acre of land
at the northwest corner (corner of
Wilmot and Deerfield Roads today)
of their farm for .a school,
first Wilmot School
The
(a township,
not a village school) opened in
1847 with Rosella Cadwell as the
firs.t teacher.
According to the deed (which, by
the way,
tg
is still in the possession
of the district,
^
kept in a bank vault),
the land for Wilmot School reverts back
■SIP

to the heirs if it is used for any
purpose other than a school or if the
land remains vacant for three years.
The first schoolhouse was built by Lyman Wilmot of logs.
It is said that tHe school had to face south so that Mrs. Wilmot
could see the children enter the building.
Does the door that the fourth graders use today face
south?
A second schoolhouse was made of rough boards and had a
dirt floor.
The third building, built in 1858, burnt to the
ground before it could be used.
A fourth structure was built
immediately using the same foundation,
This building still
exists today

(It was first moved to the corner of Pine Street and
Deerfield Road and later moved to Kenmore.)
In 1904,
the fifth building was completed,

�LYMAN WILMOT HOUSE
And Why It Will Not Be On The National Register
In the summer of 1994 my wife and I, together with our daughter and her husband, bought
die Lyman Wilmot House at 601 Wilmot Road in Deerfield.
From die beginning I was intrigued with the unique property because of its age and the
historic importance of the Wilmot family, who were very prominent in the early
development of Deerfield.
It was my hope to gain acceptance of the house and coach house on the National Register
of Historic Places. To that end I researched the history of the property and the Wilmot
family. Unfortunately, there was little about the house available except numerous
references to the fact that the original structure—still inside the present house somewheredated from 1840, making it, I believe, the oldest occupied building in Lake County. I
hoped some old photos of die buildings might become available, but none did.
I had much more success in developing information about the Wilmot family. Because of
my interest and experience in genealogy I was able to trace die Wilmot family back seven
generations to the year 1637 when the first Wilmot came to America from England.
I also located and corresponded with a number of Wilmots around the country, several
closely connected to die Deerfield family, who sent me interesting information and
encouraged my National Register quest.
But, alas, it is not to be! I was done in by siding—that and two extensions added to the
house at unknown times in the past. These revisions, it was judged, changed the character
of the structure too much to meet the National Register criteria (despite some early touches
to be seen—a field stone foundation, several hand-hewn beams in the cellar, and the initials
of one of Lyman Wilmot’s sons scratched in on an old window pane over a hundred years
ago). The later siding was the biggest problem. The National Register, it seems, takes a
dim view of modem siding.
One of die criteria taken into account in assessing a property’s qualifications for listing in
the National Register is the historic importance of the occupants. Lyman Wilmot and his
wife were significant in the early development of Deerfield. He was a community leader
and an office holder. They were ardent supporters of the Union and opened their home as
a station on the Underground Railway, harboring escaped slaves. In addition, they
donated the land at Wilmot Road and Deerfield Road for Deerfield’s first school, which
bears their name and where they both served, he as superintendent and she as a teacher.
It was my hope that the historic importance of the Wilmots would be enough to overcome
whatever problems the house presented, and I believe I would have been successful had
not previous owners of the property “modernized” so much.
But in 155 years what else could one reasonable expect?
I have given the Society a copy of the information I developed on the property.

This guide to the Deerfield Cemetery was prepared for the Deerfield
Area Historical Society in the summer of 1996 with the help of Audra
Zobus (cover), Laura Kempf (document preparation), Barbara Thomas
(proof reading), Jean Spagnoli (proof reading), Larry Dondonville (field
information) and John Willman (field information).

PREFACE
A GUIDE TO THE DEERFIELD HISTORICAL CEMETERY
A Cemetery is a wonderful source to study history and to learn about one’s
ancestors and the people who helped determine the community.
The information in this guide was taken from the monuments and headstones
in the cemetery - as well as from the book History Of Deerfield Illinois by
Marie Ward Reichelt, published in 1928.
We would very much like to have our cemetery records accurate to preserve
the history that is represented here. If you should discover any errors, please
let us know! Please keep in mind that a lot without a marker does not
necessarily mean that no one is buried there. Many head stones have not
withstood the tests of time.
We hope you find this piece of Deerfield History as interesting as we have
found it.

DEAR FRIENDS:
I HOPE THAT YOU WILL ENJOY THE BICENTENNIAL HISTORY
PLUS THREE. CERTAINLY IT HAS BEEN A LABOR OF LOVE
TO WHICH MANY HAVE CONTRIBUTED OVER THE PAST THREE
YEARS.
SOME OF THE DELAY IN PUBLISHING THE HISTORY HAS BEEN
DUE TO THE WEALTH OF MATERIAL WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN
INCLUDED IN THE BOOK. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO
DECIDE WHAT SHOULD BE RECORDED WITHOUT CREATING A
DAY-BY-DAY REVIEW OF THE HISTORY OF DEERFIELD.
I AM MOST GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED TO MAKE
EVEN THOUGH IT IS A LITTLE
THIS BOOK A REALITY
LATER THAN WE HAD ORIGINALLY PLANNED!
SINCERELY,
BERNARD
MAYOR

�During that first year in Lake County, his young
son Daniel, Jr. died on September 7,1834, and his
wife, Ruth, died on September 10.20 Another son
died a year later. No cause of death is suggested
in the materials available, but the prevalence of
epidemic diseases in late summer has been
documented.
A prairie fire destroyed Wright’s winter hay sup
ply and the Indians helped him to survive the first
winter.21
Wright’s daughter, Caroline, married William
Whigham in 1836. It was the first marriage in Lake
County, and Hiram Kennicott, first Justice of the
Peace, performed the ceremony at the “Mill” on
the Des Plaines River.22
The Wright farm spanned the Des Plaines River,
and part of it is now the Ryerson Conservation
Area in Riverwoods. Wright died December 30,
1873 at the age of 95. His farm was in the name of
William Whigham on the 1916 Plat Map. He had
married Rachel Millard in 1845.23
The first settler in Deerfield Township was
Michael Meehan. He arrived in a covered wagon
drawn by two oxen and settled on Section 18 on
Telegraph Road in 1835, between Half Day Road
and Wilmot Road.24 Meehan was born in 1808 at
Meath, Ireland. He married Bridget Monahan in
1832, and emigrated to the United States that
same year. He went first to Salina, New York, and
later to Michigan, but in the autumn of 1835 he
came finally to Deerfield. The Indians had not left
the area yet, and the township was still in its
natural state. Meehan plowed the first furrow in
the township.25
He was relatively well stocked with provisions
when he arrived in Deerfield, for he had several
barrels of flour and a barrel of beef and pork. He
also had the cash to purchase seed, oats and
potatoes in the following spring, and he bought
the first piglet and first pair of kittens as well. He
erected a log cabin on the 225 acres that pre
empted, and the land had not yet been surveyed
(therefore it was still government land obtained
from the Indian Treaty). He left the farm for a brief
attempt at gold mining in California in 1852, but
realized the futility and quickly returned. 26
Meehan continued to work his farm until 1876,
when, at the age of 68, he retired, sold his farm to
James O’Connor, a neighbor and relative, and
moved to Highland Park.27
The first settler in what is now the Village of
Deerfield was Jacob Cadwell (or perhaps Horace
Lamb). Cadwell and Lamb arrived in Deerfield in
1835.28
Jacob Cadwell and his wife, Rubie Rich
Cadwell, had five sons and two daughters:
Madison, Philemon, Caleb, Hiram, Edwin, Rubie
Rosella and Jerusha Rosina.29 They all settled on
what is now Waukegan Road near Deerfield Road.
For a time this was called “Cadwell Corners” but
later it was changed to “Deerfield Corners.” The
locations of their homes is given in
a DDroximate
H History of Deerfield, by Reichelt, but those
the
locations are no longer contemporary. The
7
Cadwell lands were pre-empted under one of the
pre-emption bills passed after 1830 (but before the
Distribution Pre-emption act).30
Caleb Cadwell was appointed the first
postmaster in Deerfield in 1850.31 The Cadwells
built the first school — Cadwell School — and
Rosella was the first teacher. The Cadwell School
was opened in 1848, but the Wilmot School — the
first in the township — was opened in 1847.32
Horace Lamb came to Deerfield in 1835, the
same year as the Cadwells. It is not clear, actual
ly, who was the first to settle here. The Lamb pro
perty was located between what is now
Waukegan road and the east slough north from
the county line into what is presently the country
club. These were later the Vetter and Parsons pro
perties.33
The Wilmots, too, were among the first settlers.
Jesse Wilmot came up the North Branch in 1834
and landed at what is now Greenwood Avenue.34
Having stayed in Deerfield through the winter, he
returned in 1837 to the east to bring his own fami
ly and his brother, Lyman, and his family. Both
families settled west of the village along Wilmot
Road in the Deerfield Road area (none of which
existed at the time, of course). The farm the
Wilmots built was considered one of the best and
most productive in the area.35
Lyman Wilmot had eleven children, six sons
and five daughters. He built the first school in the
township; the Wilmots were patrons of education.
They were also abolitionists, and operated a sta
tion on the “underground railroad” which aided
runaway slaves to escape into Canada.36 Mrs.
Clarissa Wilmot, Lyman’s wife, was a practical
nurse and midwife who administered to the infirm
in the absence of the physician, and performed
some diagnostics with the aid of a medical
manual.37

�3. Civil War
and After
Freedom
Abolition
The abolitionist sentiment existed in Deerfield
and its adjacent areas. A “station” on the
Underground Railroad was operated by Lyman
Wilmot, and a runaway slave was received here
and given quarters for the winter of 1858 at the
home of Lorenz Ott.1 Abolitionists from Highland
Park would come to Deerfield to debate the issue
at the corner of Deerfield and Waukegan Roads.2
The runaway slave, Andrew Jackson, was 28
years old and came from a Mississippi plantation.
His father was the plantation owner, a white man,
and because of this, the slave received greater
liberty than other slaves, providing him with an
opportunity to escape. His flight from Mississippi
was an ordeal which included temporary capture
by his pursuers.3
Jackson lived with the Ott family, and did
chores while there. He built a white picket fence
and gate, but asked that it be taken down when
the slaves were freed-German thrift could not ac
cede to this request. In the spring, Jackson was
taken to Chicago from where he sailed to Canada.
He corresponded with the Ott family from there.4
The abolitionist sentiment was not universally
embraced, however, and many men were unable
to acknowledge a personal involvement in the
abolition issue-particularly in the resulting war.5
Antiwar sentiment was so strong that a bounty
was required to induce enlistments. The bounty
was $40 per man at the beginning of the war, but it
was $1600 by the end.6
There were a few “copperhead” and “a lodge or
two of Knights of the Golden Circle,”7 which were
southern sympathizers, but “never constituted an
effective fifth column.”8 A strong Union League
existed to counteract any disloyalty that may
have disgraced the County.9
CIVIL WAR
Deerfield Grand Army of the Republic
Captain McCaul’s Shield Guards were ap
parently the first volunteers. Their formation was
13
announced on April 20, 1861, and they joined an
Irish regiment in Chicago.10 On April 29, 1861,
ninety volunteers from southern Lake County ar
rived at Waukegan.11 On May 4,1861, the Union Ri
fle Guards were formed. On June 6, the County
Board of Supervisors appropriated $5,000 for
bounties to encourage enlistments.12
During the summer of 1861, Companies C and F
of the 37th Illinois Infantry were organized. Cap
tain Eugene B. Payne and Captain Erwin B.
Messer were the officers of these Companies.
During the winter of 1861-1862, half of Company I,
45th Illinois Infantry, and half of Company F of the
65th Infantry were organized; Company G of the
51st Illinois Infantry was organized, and all went
to Camp Douglas.13 It is not certain whether Virgil
Wilmot, the son of Lyman Wilmot who operated
the underground railroad, served in the 45th14 or
the 55th15 Illinois Infantry.
Thomas Mooney of Deerfield had the unique
service record of serving on both sides. He was in
ducted into the Confederate Army while working
as an engineer on a Mississippi River steamboat,
but escaped after two years and joined the Union
Army.18
Several Deerfield men died as a result of the
Civil War, either from illness, injuries received in
battle or from the hardships of the prison camps.
Several more were crippled. Those who served in

Awesome Things
Library cards available for
awesome readers ages 5+
(Tour of Awesome begins on page 2)
i
�September is officially
Library Card Sign-up
Month!
This “holiday” is an initiative
championed by the American
Library Association to promote,
you guessed it, library cards! In
1987, Education Secretary
William J. Bennett wanted a
way to encourage all children
to get, and use, a library
card. Since then,
libraries use this
month as a way
Celebrate Library Card Sign-up
Month by exploring the awesomeness
of your Deerfield Public Library!
True, you don’t need a library card for all these activities, but
everyone should have this awesome card in their wallet.
Library cards are available for ages 5+!
to remind the public that a
library card is a way to explore
educational and recreational
resources. Public libraries are
great equalizers. There are very
few civic institutions that serve
people from all backgrounds
and walks of life. Public
libraries are a source of
community pride, and each one
is unique in how it serves its
community.
At Deerfield Public Library,
we are very proud of the
variety of services we offer
our community. Throughout
this issue of Browsing, we
will be highlighting some of
the great things that you can
do with your DPL card.
We hope you will find
something new
and unique.
With your library card, in
addition to being able to check
out books in a variety of
formats, I encourage you to
explore the Library's wide
variety of digital resources. Are
you looking to make an
automobile purchase this year?
Be sure to check out our new
Auto Finance Resource
database. Download the hoopla
app to get access to hundreds
of streaming TV shows, movies,
and audiobooks. And we have
an amazing, professional staff
available to assist you in your
information-seeking endeavors.
We are here to help you find the
information you need.
Deerfield Public Library is
always looking for ways to meet
the needs of the community.
Your library card is the key that
can unlock many doors!

A Welcome and a Look Ahead
Welcome Amy Falasz-Peterson, our new Library
Director as of July 1! Amy is learning all about our
outstanding Library — perhaps you have seen
her in the Library, in the lobby during the July
4th parade, or around town as she settles in. Amy
comes to us with nine years’ experience as Library
Director in East Peoria, Illinois. Amy has also
been an Assistant Director and Head of Reference,
experience we know will serve us well. During the
interview process, Amy impressed the Board and
Library staff with her focus on community,
outreach, customer service, and respect for the
important role libraries play in communities.
With Amy’s leadership, the Board will begin a
strategic plan this year. We will research new and
future trends in libraries, and we will ask you to
help us identify needs. Our last strategic plan
helped lead us to our renovated, larger library. It
helped identify the need for more study rooms,
more meeting spaces, and technological updates
throughout the library. After living in our new
space for two years, we are excited to make plans
for the future. Please check future Browsing
issues and our website for opportunities to
be involved.

Deerfield Library is STEAMing
What is STEAM and why is
it at the Library?
STEAM is the acronym for Science,
^technology, Engineering, Art, and
Mathematics. At the Deerfield Public
Library you’ll find STEAM throughout the
Youth Services Department’s programming.
The Library is a perfect place to introduce
and encourage your child's natural curiosity
about the world.
What type of STEAM programs
does the Library offer?
Programs with a STEAM emphasis are
offered at the Library year-round. KiDLS
(Kids in Deerfield Love Science) is our
quarterly event for the elementary school
crowd and their grown-ups. From examining
color to making our own music to learning
about Illinois’ wild mammals, we have a
great time in KiDLS!
STEAM can also be found in other programs,
such as Ready, Set, Learn offered during
the school year for preschoolers, in our
Minecraft Clubs, and in our homeschool
10
programs. Every year, the DPS 109 schools,
area preschools, other schools and
homeschoolers showcase their artwork
in the glass display cases as you enter the
youth department.
At what age is it appropriate to
introduce your child to STEAM?
“Real science begins
with childhood
curiosity, which
leads to discovery
and exploration....,f
It is never too early to encourage your child’s
exploration of the world. Whether through
a program or our books and magazines, the
Deerfield Public Library offers a myriad of
ways to engage with and enhance your child’s
curiosity. Choose a picture book, such as
ILove Bugs! by Philemon Stages, or a
nonfiction title, such as Growing Patterns:
Fibonacci Numbers in Nature by Sarah C.
Campbell, or magazines such as Ask! and
Click, and begin your journey of discovery
right here!
*Science in the Preschool Classroom:
Capitalizing on Children’s Fascination with
the Everyday World to Foster Language and
Literacy Development by Kathleen Coneczio

and Lucia French, Young Children, September
