�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

—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,

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.

The
-----
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
§£■ Deerfield, including Lake Forest. It was established in 1887 in Lancasterville, in the
area later called Everett. This postal service was discontinued in 1909, however, when
^4 Rural Free Delivery started out of the Deerfield post office, when Samuel P. Hutchison
was postmaster in an office in his general store on Deerfield Road near Waukegan Road.
& RFD was authorized by Congress in 1904 but did not start in this region until five years
later. Using a horse drawn mail wagon, the carrier was William Carl "Billy” Ott, less
*
than four feet tall, but devoted to his daily tasks over dirt roads in much adverse weaA) thcr and road conditions.

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.”

transportation wa3 limited to Improved roads, and
tho railroad was not available until 1855 when
track was laid through Highland Park.
Transportation v/as Important to tho ooltlor, not
only as a means of Ingreoa but os a moans for
shipping farm products to market and for com

In addition, seed grain, livestock, implements,

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

�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.

The Rev. G. L. Wrenn took the pastorate May i, 1872,and continued in this
service eight years. The Rev. C. B. Allen, Jr., succeeded him in September,
1880, and continued until March, 1882. The Rev. H. C. Leland came in Novem
ber, 1882. He was succeeded in May, 1884, by the Rev. E. G. Cheverson and
he by the Rev. G. B. Simons in November, 1885, the Rev. J. W. Weddell in
May, 1887, the Rev. L. A. Gould, June, 1894, the Rev. W. M. Vines in December,
1897, the Rev. Robert Morris Rabb in December, 1898, the Rev. James P. Whyte
in May, 1900, the Rev. Edwin Seldon in January, 1902, the Rev. G. D. Rogers
in December, 1903, the Rev. M. F. Sanborn in April, 1907, the Rev. E. LeRoy
Dakin in May, 1908. His pastorate ended in January, 1911.
A number 01 the ministers of this church have been student pastors from
the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, and occasional service has been
rendered by the professors of the school. The effort is now being made to find
a permanent pastor. October 2, 1908, the first pastor, the Rev. G. L. Wrenn,
who had continued to serve the church as a deacon, died. In his memory his
children gave the beginning of a fund for a pipe organ, which was added to by
Mrs. C. N. Kimball and other friends. On October 20, 1909, a fine memorial
oragn was dedicated.
The church has had four hundred members, but with the losses by death
and the fluctuating membership of a suburban church, the present membership
is 141, of whom 53 are non-resident.43
There are to-day five Baptist Churches in Lake County—those of Wau
kegan, Highland Park, Barrington, Russell and Wauconda.
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES.
As has been shown in the sketch of the Ivanhoe Congregational Church.
The Presbyterians came to the county when it was still a part of McHenry
County, and organized the Mechanics’ Grove Church in 1838. It was really a
Union Church of Presbyterians and Congregationalists. In two years, however,
the Presbyterians lost control and the church passed from them to become the
Congregational Church, now of Ivanhoe.
THE CHURCH OF HALF DAY.
mi
On the other hand a Congregational Church was organized at Half Day,
November 20, 1841. The Rev. Elbridge G. Howe was the first pastor, but
remained only for a brief period. The Rev. Joseph H. Payne came in January,
1842. The^first members were Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Pelton, Mr. and Mrs.

Joshua Pelton, Jr., Thomas Pelton, Sarah Hawkes, Levi Walker, Jane B. Walker,
Lyman, Jesse and Clarissa Wilmot, Luther Farnham, Mary Cook, Silas and
^£Tm!a^tevens. A house otwoSmp was begun, in the village, in 1844. In the
process of the years, although the date cannot now be ascertained, this church
passed from the Congregational to the Presbyterian form of organization. The
church was too feeble to maintain a pastor and it was served from Libertyville
on alternate Sundays from 1869 to 1881. In that year the two churches were
separated, and the Rev. Hannibal S. Stanley served the Half Day Church until
1884, driving over from Lake Forest. In 1885-86 the service was abandoned.
In 1887 Prof. LeRoy F. Griffin came from Lake Forest. In 1889 and 1891 a
supply came from McCormick Seminary. In 1890, 1892 and 1893 the church
was vacant. The church disappears on the “General Assembly Annual Minutes”
of 1894, and the organization, as such, was probably abandoned in that year. A
new population had come in and a remnant of the old time worshippers have from
time to time, ever since, fitfully resumed the service. Student “supply” from
Lake Forest or McCormick Seminary has carried on this work, and the writer
of this sketch conducted a service in the old historic church as late as 1908.
But the place is now closed and silent.44

THE CHURCH OF WAUKEGAN.
The Presbyterian Church of Waukegan was organized November 11, 1859,
by a colony from the Congregational Church of that town. In those days in
the sparsely settled West, “Union” churches were frequently formed by the
fraternization of Congregationalists and Presbyterians under a single organiza
tion, and one pastor of either denomination. Forty-five Presbyterians, who had
previously worshipped in the Congregational flock formed the new church.
They were: William Ladd, Mary A. Ladd, Mrs. N. Cleaveland, Mrs. J. S.
Frazer, H. A. Rew, Matilda A. Rew, John M. Hartnett, Margaret I. Hartnett,
Dr. W. C. Barker, Sarah A. Barker, Mrs. McCrone, D. O. Dickinson, Mercy

�TOWNSHIP OF DEERFIELD.

A majority of four votes gave the name Deerfield instead of Erin to this
township, there being seventeen votes for the former and thirteen for the latter,
as expressed at a public meeting called for the purpose at the house of Michael
Meehan, and the name Deerfield was given to the township by the commissioners.
It is not clear as to who the first settler in this section was. It is claimed
and disputed, that Jacob Caldwell and sons settled here in the spring of 1836,
near the town of Deerfield. On the other hand it is asserted that Horace Lamb
was the first settler, building a house for himself at least a year prior to the
first date. We quote from Haines’ History:
"When we take into account the fact that the Indians remained in
possession of the lands lying in Lake County until 1836, and that occupa
tion by the settlers was not permitted before that time, except by consent
of the Indians, we can not expect to find settlers attempting to occupy the
land much before that year. It is well understood that Capt. Daniel Wright
was the only settler in what is now Lake County in 1834, except perhaps, Amos
Flint, who is claimed to have settled on Fox River the latter part of this year.
In 1835, ^e time in which the Indians were to leave the country being near at
hand, which they seemed to realize, they became more indifferent as to the en
croachment of the whites, whereby during this year some progress was made by
settlers. It is possible that settlers may have entered the town of Deerfield in
j835, but it is certainly not probable that any came before that time.”
Among the early settlers may be mentioned Jacob Caldwell and five sons,
Horace Lamb, John Mathews, Jesse Wilmot, Lyman Wilmot, B. Marks, R.
Dygert, John Cochran, Michael Meehan, Magnus Tait, Anthony Sullivan, John
King and Francis McGovern.
The first school in Deerfield was taught by Rosilla Caldwell in 1848, and the
first school house was built near the county line on Section 33.
In the early forties a town site was laid out east of Highwood called St.
Johns, but owing to litigation concerning title to the land, it was abandoned and
in 1850, Jacob C. Bloom, Andrew Steele and others laid out a town site just south
of St. Johns, called Port Clinton, and a postoffice was established here the same
year. After the Chicago Parallel Railway (now the Chicago and Northwestern

HISTORY OF LAKE COUNTY.
feasibility of building a new church which should meet the requirements of the
Church and Sabbath School, and it was finally decided that a new church must
be built and should cost not less than $65,000.00, and that work should
be commenced early in the spring of 1910. A Building Committee was appoint
ed and authorized to secure plans and specifications and this has been done, and
ground is to be broken very soon, and it is to be hoped that the new building
will supply all the needs of the society for many years to come.
The writer of this article has been connected with this church for thirtythree years and has seen it pass through seasons of depression and rejoicing
and has come to love the old building and will be sorry to see it pass away, but
all things must pass away and old things become new. Many and many are
the pleasant hours that have been spent in the old church with friends that have
passed away and many tender memories come back while sitting in the church
and looking at familiar places and thinking of those who have gone, never to
return. There are two of the charter members still in the church, Miss Sarah
Patchen, who still continues to be an active worker, and Mrs. Lucy C. T. Allen,
who has passed her 91st birthday, and can still remember the time when the
church was organized and can remember the various persons who took part
therein. Her son’s wife was the first person to join the church by profession
and her granddaughter was the first person to be baptized.
When the new church is completed the writer will rejoice with the rest of
the congregation, but with regard to the old church his feelings and sentiments
are expressed by the old hymn which has been often sung in the old church and
doubtless will be in the new:
“I love Thy church, O God!
Her walls before Thee stand,
Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
And graven on Thy hand.”
Since Mr. Godrich wrote the preceding narrative Mr. Goodson
succeeded in the church by the Rev. Roy Calvin Dodson, who took up
in the fall of 1910. Mr. Dodson came from Bloomington, Illinois, and
offered the Highland Park pulpit in 1908, but could not then be drawn

The Presbyterian Church at Deerfield Corners was organized in May, 1876,
by the Rev. E. S. Hurd, D.D. The first members were Lyman and Clarissa Wilmot, Lyman Wilmot, Jr., Philip and Adelia Gutzler, Louis and Caroline Todd,
'MrsTLizzie Hall and Mrs. Mary S. Muhlke. The church edifice was built the
same year. Dr. Hurd continued only for a year and for a number of years the
church was "supplied” from Chicago or Lake Forest by Students. The “Min-

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.

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.
