�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.

was always on my heart; it came to me like a solemn
thought, and often circumstances much stimulated the
desire to be free and raised great expectation of it"—
Ambrose Headen, born 1822, enslaved in North
Carolina and Alabama.

PATRIOT ACT
People have asked me about the
Patriot Act and what the controversy is
all about regarding libraries. In short,
it is Federal legislation enacted shortly
after the 9-11 catastrophe that allows
the government—the FBI—to look at
library patrons’ record files, Internet
access records, and any other record
the Library keeps on its users or rou
tine internal files used to operate the
Library. This can be done without ben
efit of traditional due process proce
dures and carries extreme penalties to
the Librarian for non-compliance,
quick punishment if information about
this governmental access is revealed—
to anyone. The genesis of this Act
stems from the idea that the 9-11 ter
rorists used libraries as a base for their
communication activities.
Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis
said ‘The greatest dangers to liberty
lurk in the insidious encroachment by
men of zeal, well meaning but without
understanding.” Libraries have tradi
tionally been strongholds of the
Constitution’s guarantee of freedom of
speech, the right to privacy, and the
freedom of inquiry. Patron privacy and
confidentiality have always been guiding

Some libraries have posted large signs warning their clients of this
legislation. I have been asked why I have not put up disclaimer
signs like this informing our residents that their library records might
be reviewed by the government without notice. The answer is sim
ple: if I put up warning signs I would compromise even more the
public’s reasonable expectation of privacy by warning them that in
the library, privacy does not exist. Signs cancel any vestige of privacy.
The Library has always followed, and will continue to follow the
Illinois Compiled Statutes—provision 75ILCS 70/1-2—‘The
Library Records Confidentiality Act”— which deals directly with the
explicit right of all citizens to have their library records held in con

the Patriot Act. I will take every measure in my power to ensure
each resident’s right to privacy and confidentiality—but I am duty

Federal law.

Graphic Artist Betty Reschke:
In Memoriam
On April 23,2003 the Deerfield Library
staff lost a dear friend, who this year cele
brated 34 years as a library employee. When
our California-born graphic artist Betty was
first employed the library was located in
what is now the West Deerfield Township
Office. In the present building her artistic
flair blossomed in a “behind the scenes”
I have no problem with the concepts surrounding national security.
Surely, only a fool would think that we are not all vulnerable to
internal terrorist acts and that these acts do not pose a
serious, palpable reality. It is impossible for us to consider these
issues wholly within the framework of the old ideas we held near
and dear before the tragedy of 9-11.1 guess what bothers me about
the Patriot Act is not that libraries have been thrust into the middle
of a debate not of their making where they had no input, nor the lack
of traditional due process, nor the invasion of privacy, nor the
implied violation of hard won and cherished First Amendment
rights. What does trouble me is that the Patriot Act can easily be
seen as an insidious encroachment, first-step, beginning of an omni
scient government. I certainly question the need for that step in a
Constitutional Democracy. I am afraid, after all, that “the fault dear
Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves”.

workroom. She sewed hundreds of original
puppets for the library’s puppet theater, pre
pared posters for our programs using an
ancient printing press, built large structures
such as the 4th of July bookworm, a bam, a
mural, exhibits and displays and fashioned
countless creative projects. She responded
immediately to our often last-minute
requests. When she took ill several months
ago she was re-sewing, for the umpteenth
time, the cloth furniture and inhabitants of
the little tree house (dollhouse) that has been
a fixture in the Childrens’ department for
decades. Betty had a multitude of interests
including golf, swimming, jazz (especially
at Ravinia), nature, the Southwest, and her
Michigan summer retreat. Her many talents
and cheerful smile will be greatly missed by
the library staff and the public who so
admired her hard work. In a 1997 Deerfield
Review article celebrating the library’s 70th
anniversary, Betty’s photo was featured and
she modestly responded about her long
tenure at the library “It’s just an enjoyable
way to pass the time!” Betty lived in
Highland Park and leaves two daughters.
Her husband passed away several years ago.
Youth Services’ Cindy Schilling holds the new puppets
made by Betty this year. Cindy, a 13 year library
employee, has just recently received her Masters in
Library Science and we are proud of her!
�prom Sunday Mueller,
Newly Elected Library
Board President
What ayear ahead on the library board!
0„e of the challenges and greatest responsibilities
of a board is long range planning, taking that long,
hard look into the future and developing a vision
as well as the plan to achieve it. Your library board
is in full gear in this endeavor.
We have been pleased to see the telephone survey
results of over 1,000 area residents. Your thoughts
and suggestions are helping us identify the issues
to be explored in the 15 focus groups to be held
this summer. If you can participate in one of these
groups, please do.
Our job as board members is to represent you, the
community and all its diverse components, to our
library. When considering changes to its operation,
we strive to keep in mind all our constituencies
and tty' to balance the needs of each group.
Fortunately, the members of our board directly rep
resent most of these groups and we are all frequent
users of the library’s materials and facilities. Our
efforts are easily a “labor of love”.
I am pleased to serve as the incoming president
and have several goals for the year ahead. Chief
among them is reaching out to those of you who
visit the library less frequently. I hope we can
familiarize you with the wonderful services avail
able there, including the services of our very peo
ple friendly reference librarians. They stand ready
and eager to help you find answers to your ques
tions, to show you some of our amazing reference
materials, and to help you search the ‘Net quickly
and effectively. Considering the immense amount
af information “out there”, I think you’ll find a
Jbranan to be a valuable research partner.

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
There was a strange stillness. The
birds, for example where had they
gone? Many people spoke of them,
puzzled and disturbed. The feeding
stations in the backyards were
deserted. The few birds seen any
where were moribund; they trem
bled violently and could not fly. It
was a spring without voices. On the mornings that had
once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds,
doves, jays, wrens, and scores of other bird voices
there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields
and woods and marsh. So began opening passages in
Rachel Carson’s 1962 classic, cautionary, tale Silent
Spring. The message of that book was immediate and
lasting: what man does to alter his environment can
sow the seeds of a terrible harvest. That book detailed
the inexorability, precision, and terrible lasting price of
unintended consequences.
Those lines were recalled to me late this summer when
my neighbors and I realized that the chorus of birds our
neighborhood had always enjoyed was silent. Gone were
the sparrows, the crows, the blue jays and robins, gone
were almost all the birds except ones passing through.
No longer was I awakened to the raucous caws of a
family of crows that frequented my backyard, no more
brazen blue jays. In fact no birds at all. The cause is, of
course, the West Nile Virus. Illinois leads the nation in
human cases of the illness and in the number of deaths
attributed to it. For reasons seemingly unknown to sci
ence, Illinois is the epicenter of this new and baffling
illness and the first to fall are our friends the birds. As
Rachel Carson had so accurately predicted, the birds
acted as the barometer of the health of the environ
ment.
Well-meaning voices have been raised to resurrect the
use of DDT—one of the most dangerous and persistent
poisons ever devised by man—as a possible cure.
One can only ponder if the old vaudeville punch line
wouldn’t literally be true: the proposed cure being
worse than the disease. I have watched through late
summer and now into fall for a return of the birds to my
yard. A few have come, but are quickly gone, and no
crow caws for my arising. Over the years hundreds and
hundreds of sparrows have called my backyard home
and my birdfeeder their Sunset Foods. I have housed,
fed, and nurtured a sprawling family of sparrows in my
yard for twenty-five years. This spring there were brood
after brood of new hatchlings in that birdhouse—the
insistent peeping announcing a new brood and the exit
of the fledglings.
Recently, I started to clean out my bird houses as I do
every fall—so that next year’s birds will have a clean
start on their child rearing. The wren house was empty,
the second general purpose house always cherished by
starlings was too. But the home place for my sparrows
brought upset. Amidst all the string, and feathers, and
sticks, and fluff there were the little abandoned
nests—forlorn in their vacancy. The final nest brought
sorrow. In it were three tiny shriveled, mummified,
sparrow nestlings and three unhatched eggs. The birds I
carefully buried in my flower garden along with two
cracked eggs. The third egg, perfect, speckled in mot
tled gray, white and brown. I put it in a finch’s nest I
had brought home from a backpacking trip of forty
years ago. I don’t know why.
This seems like a fall to reflect on unintended conse
quences and the price to be paid for our folly, hubris, or
ignorance. Those little dead birds broke my heart. I had
not had the good sense to realize that West Nile could
strike so quickly as to kill the parents in mid-flight. The
victims of our stupidity are always the tiny, the power
less, the innocent. The solutions I will leave to better
minds. But as Rachel Carson warned—it is always a dis
aster to rush headlong to conclusions, to push for solu
tions that may destroy more than they save, or to trust
loud voices more than good sense. Too many lessons, it
seems, get forgotten.

person per day is one hour.
Parental permission for those under age
18 is still required, and parents will

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
Every so often you have a moment, or an
event, or you hear a song, that takes you
back in time and place. Sometimes in ajarring fashion, sometimes just a friendly
glance back. The recent death of Cyrus
Vance had both those effects on me. In
what seems like another life, a long time
ago, I and about a dozen other soldiers had
lunch with Cyrus Vance. It was one of those touchstones in life that
you remember with great clarity. I was a kid sergeant in the 8th
Infantry Division and Cyrus Vance was Under Secretary of Defense.
Memory no longer recalls what I ate for breakfast yesterday, but I
can remember clearly Cyrus Vance standing three feet away and
telling me how important my military job was. I also remember
exactly what we had for lunch, (inch-thick New York cut sirloin
never seen before or after on any of my Army chow lines.) We all
thought Cyrus Vance was impressive that day, he presented himself
well—good speaker, direct gaze, no-nonsense—talk about charisma.
Lost to memory is why he actually came to visit our unit, but he sure
did and his government led us into a dark morass.
Memory is a mystery: so much tiny detail gets stored away, but so
much just gets tossed aside by the memory process, apparently as
unnecessary to our day-to-day existence. But the special events, the
rallying points of our lives, stay with us. Defining moments like the
day we were married, when our children were bom, or when we
graduated from college or fell out of the apple tree and broke our
arms. All of these defining moments get frozen in time for later rec
ollection. I am sure they get planted because they are special—not
done everyday—one special event out of a million and one routine
days.
The Library is approaching just such a defining moment like that and
I would like to talk about it. For the past ten years the Library has
worked on upgrading and renovating every aspect of the building,
collection, programs, and services we offer. This started out with the
replacement of aging boilers but led to serious ADA remodeling, a
new accessible elevator, creating a new Fiction Room, total renova
tion of the main floor and then the Youth Services Department. The
final phase of the project was to move away from the JCPL computer
consortium and install our own computer.
In the meantime we developed and enlarged the book collection to
the point that Deerfield has the highest book-per-capita ratio of
any library on the North Shore. Programs were added and expanded, and services were extended. What guided the project from begin
ning to end was vision and a pretty durable long-range plan. But that
is now all the past. The long range planning and goal-setting that
drove us for ten years has been accomplished; now a future plan lies
ahead.
Marshall Field made a fortune and J.D. Powers has made an industry
out of the old phrase “give the lady what she wants”. The hard part is
knowing what the lady, indeed, wants. “Librarian in the Lobby” is a
program the Board added ten years ago to help us know what it is
our residents want and also how well or how poorly they think we
are doing. This project was original to this Library and has proved of
lasting benefit. Not only has the Board shown accountability and
access, but now we have a good profile of who uses the Library,
what they think about us, and how they perceive the future. We look
to the future as a great opportunity and the planning process as a way
to define what the Library is and how we serve our residents. The
new Long Range Plan will be our guide; we want you all on board.
What does this mean? First, we have no preconceived ideas as to the
destination of this plan.There will be study, focus groups, surveys,
and I am sure midnight oil burned on many long evenings before you
tell us what you want us to be. What we are looking for is mission
and goal—what we will study will be services, hours, programming,
staffing, technology, community partnerships (such as the ones we
have with AARP, the Historical Society and the National Family
Partnership) parking and access. We will also study you, our resi
dents, and we want you to help us. We will do a lot of analysis of our
strengths and weaknesses. Using our crystal ball will be the way we
try to put dimension on the future. We all know how fast technology
has changed us, who can grasp the acceleration of that change? We
will try.
What we seek is a durable and authentic game plan to take us ahead
another ten years and serve us well as the old plan did. Who will
help us? We hope all of you will to one degree or another. For
starters we have engaged the Executive Service Corps to survey staff
benefit and salary packages. What will follow will offer many oppor
tunities for community involvement. We take this process seriously,
we want no false starts, expensive failures or dark morass in our
future operations. We want to serve our residents with exactly the
programs, materials, services, and atmosphere they desire. In this era
of communication, technology and information the possibilities are
limitless.
Now, you ask what in the world does Cyrus Vance have to do with
the Library’s Long Range Plan? To me the Long Range Planning
process is like Vance’s visit. It is going to be a defining moment in
the history of this library and that memory will last, for good or ill,
for a very long time. Unlike my hazy, unclear, memory of Vance’s
motives and intentions the Library Board wants our intentions to be
clear- Yes, like Vance we want to present well, we want to speak
clearly, we
goingt0 have a direct g®2®.no nonsense, and (hope
fully) be charismatic.
Unlike the Army, we want to put steak on your plate every time you
come into the Library. We plan to involve everyone in Deerfield in
our planning process. Importantly, we don’t want anyone feeling—
“why did they do that”? We want this defining moment to be a long
lived one that is remembered like a favorite birthday.

Seventy-Five Candles on a Cake
by Sharon Greenspan Lewin, who received honorable
mention for this original poem in the recent Rosemary
Sazonoff contest. She wrote of the library’s birthday!
For the library—institution of
public learning-seventyfive candles are a tribute,
An achievement.
It incorporates the notion that we are immortal
Thru our words.
When we humans,
In Our Community,• • •
Go to blow out our birthday candles,
If there are seventy-five—we think of all those years.
Life is winding down.
Deerfield Assets for Youth
Program
This spring the library began participating
in a community-wide initiative sponsored
by the National Family Partnership of
Deerfield to emphasize important develop
mental assets for youth. The first three
assets are: a caring school climate, a caring
neighborhood and family support. Please
look at the library’s new display (east
room). Find related videos, pamphlets,
books and booklists and a poster listing
assets and how Deerfield youth scored. The
assets are also on the library’s web site:
www.deerfieldlibrary.org.
For info, contact NFP’s Lynn Tramutola,
847-940-1874.
Library Board Treasurer David
Wolff accepts the certificate from
Representative Karen May.
Why does the library live and age so gracefully?
It is home—to the words of mystical-angel inspired,
Writers, poets, jokers, illustrators—who imbue their creative
Spirit energy into print, and colored pictures, and novels.
To the poor and desolate, the abused and bemused;
It is the ability to take us away.
Historical Society Event
All are invited to attend the Sunday, June 2
Re-dedication of the newly restored Ott
Cabin at the Deerfield Area Historical
Society. In addition to a visit from U.S.
Congressman Mark Kirk, there will be
music and refreshments. The Historic
Village is open for Sunday weekly tours at 2
p.m. through September.
Ah, the smells and touches of the library>.
The feel of a well-worn Huckleberry Finn.
Or my pre-adolescent Nancy Drew Detective
The ever-present joy when I read to my one and only daughter,
"I’ll love you forever—As long as I'm living my baby you'll be. ”
Feel the first experiments at curling up in a library to do research:
First research paper in high school.
Then college, law school,
Studying for the bar exam in the library.
Savor those memories.

Our great television personality with her "use your life " series,
Marvels at how books saved her-made her,
(a small black girl from
Mississippi,) believe she could be
Anyone she wanted to be!
Now, she has millions reading about all parts of the world
they would never
be exposed to otherwise. Publishers herald her—
she has reinspired book
sales, book clubs, and libraries.
Some people feel the coffee house/bookstores have replaced
the library,
They are mistaken.
No history or the aura of old souls.
It is no coincidence, that, in the movie,
City of Angels, Nicolas Cage, (an angel) hung out at the
Los Angeles Public Library.
Remember the "Twilight Zone" with a main character who
only wanted to
be left alone to read?
There is a nuclear holocaust, everything is desolate:
He wakes up alive in the nibble, with books all around him
At first he is ecstatic.
Then, the horrific irony-hisglasses are smashed. He can’t read.
Our libraries and books need us as much as we need them.
From generation to generation,
In all stages of our growing up,
One could always find a book to elucidate on the subject;
Adolescence, Dating, Getting Married, Parenting,
Speaking to your kids of adolescence,
Taking care ofyour parents,
How to find good doctors, build houses, buy cars,
Find the right spiritual home.
We must remember in this land of the free---How we are free to have libraries.
In Afghanistan, and Iran books are banned.
In India, there are no public libraries.
So many immigrants talk of theirfirst experience of
Coming to America and being able to "borrow"free of charge
A library book.
In America we celebrate milestones.
We honor our birthdays and our anniversaries.
We know that, there but for the grace of God go I.
The cake should be big, big, big,
The banners should be big, big, and big
Shout from the rooftops,
We Deeifieldtonian readers are 75 years old.
We made it. We’re going to live to be 200.
Our books are our gifts from our ancestors, and legacy to our
descendants
Hail! Hail! Long shall we read.

Our New Library Catalog and
How to Use It.
�Across the Librarian’s Desk
This Library was founded seventyfive years ago when Mrs. F.W.
Russo opened the Library doors
for the first time on New Years
Day, January 1927. Since that
time the Library has been housed
in the Deerfield Grammar School,
next into a storefront by the old
Callner Building, then stored away in a number of base
ments and garages to be shelved in the Township build
ing, and since 1971 here at the present location. The
longevity and success of this library has been the result
of the vision, hard work and dedication of many people
over a long period of time truly a collaborative effort.
The present building was built in response to a study
done by the Deerfield League of Women Voters in 1967
which found the old library seriously deficient. In seven
ty-five years there have been five Directors: Mrs. Russo,
Mrs. Wolff, Mrs. Haney, Mrs. Whetstone and me.
There have been many defining moments since that New
Years Day in 1927 for the world, nation, Village, and the
Library. Lindbergh flew the Atlantic that year and dra
matic change has been a way of life ever since. The
library as an institution has changed more in the past fif
teen years than it did in the past one hundred and fifty.
In the span of my library career the library universe has
grown globally from the size of a single room to a reach
that encompasses every part of the world. With comput
ers, libraries moved from the 19th Century to the 21st
Century in a single leap. Library services, formats, mate
rials, and techniques have all changed, and will continue
to change. What has not changed for libraries is that at
the heart of everything we do are the residents we serve.
Many pundits have predicted the demise or death of the
library as an institution with the advent of computers
and the Internet. Our statistics, numbers, and usage here
in Deerfield do not lend that theory much credence. Our
percentage of resident cardholders, our circulation and
our reference question totals show an active clientele,
while statistics from the Youth Services Department
show a growing service population. Ttoo flourishing
mega-bookstores in our community validate this as a
neighborhood of readers. The Library has kept abreast of
current computer technology tools of access, Internet
connections, and web-based services being only some of
our services. E-books and downloaded services are just
around the corner. But books will still remain crucial to
our long range mission. Why do I say that?
Recent events like the Enron scandal with the loss of
computer data, the use of computers by terrorists, the
destruction of records in the World Trade Tower disaster,
the general impermanence and volatility of computer
stored data, the disappearance of the National Park
Service website make it clear that permanent paper
records and books still have a very important role to play
in history and in society. Until e-books are cheaper,
more inclusive in the titles they purvey, and a lot easier
to use, they will not replace books. The major break
through for e-books will come when students download
all their text and work books in a single cheap, simple,
device and throw away their backpacks. Even when that
day dawns, as I am sure it will, books will remain viable
because there is no profit to be made from converting
old books into new technology just ask the failed
Netlibrary. As everyone knows in this techno-age, profits
drive products and if libraries do not preserve our soci
ety’s culture no one else will. Remember, books were the
first solid-state, random-access memory device and
remain effective; they also don’t fail when the lights go
out.
So even at the advancing age of seventy-five the Library
stands ready to move into the 21st Century. Our staff is
trained and prepared, the formats and media are chang
ing daily, the Library will respond as it has always
responded; with hands-on personal service for our resi
dents in a professional, intelligent and literary manner.
It has been an exciting seventy-five years for libraries
and the next seventy-five will be even more so. Libraries
really are the leaders in information age technology.

with the east room now that
the fiction has been moved out? Its
so empty!” (The room presently
houses videos, music CD's and cas-

A top priority of Library Direc
tor Jack Hicks and the Library
Board's building committee is a re
organization of the entire main floor,
part of a five year renovation plan.
It will take some time and patience
to insure quality renovation which
makes best use of available library
space. The Board is presently issu
ing requests for proposal to several
architects familiar with library
needs.
The Deerfield Library building
is 23 years old and it has been nec
essary to examine needs and reno
vate one area at a time. Library ma
terials and services have changed in
substance and format in 25 years.
The library currently offers com
puter technology, compact discs,
video and audio cassettes which did
not exist in years past. The accelera
tion of technology also has future
implications. The library was de
signed to shelve 65,000 volumes and
is currently housing 155,000 vol
umes. With anticipated renovation
of existing space, the library should
be able to shelve almost 200,000
volumes yet return openness and
grace to our public space.

in fall, now provides 37% more pub

Across the Librarian’s Desk
Cynics say there is no history and skeptics say that
if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to
repeat it. I would hope—living in the midst of the infor
mation age—that we can learn and profit from the
knowledge that is so close at hand. As we enter 1996
it appears to me that we as a people are poised on the
edge of a new age of isolationism. I mean this both as
an element of foreign policy and as a general alien
ation between us as individuals. The new-isolationists seem all too willing to replace Lindbergh, Father
Coughlin, the America Firsters and Senator Borah as
the next breed of American Know-Nothings. Maybe
the old term “Mugwump" should be revived. I think we
should look with great skepticism when politicians tell
us we should enter a new era of America First.
What we can do to reduce the distance between
us as individuals is up to us as individuals, but the for
eign policy posture of the country is a national decision
we should all be focused on. How this has happened
at a time of unprecedented global economy is beyond
me. In no way should the United States be involved in
military adventurism or act as policeman to the world;
neither can we sink our heads into the mud. We should
have learned the lessons of isolationism fifty years
ago—that wrongheaded idealists can take a noble
idea and pervert it into an enfeebled and discredited

rj he Amy Simon Book Fund
was started in August, 1991.
Since then the Fund has been
responsible for the purchase of over
200 books...books that the Deerfield
Library would not otherwise have
had the funds to purchase.
Amy Simon attended South Park
School, Caruso Junior High, Deerfield
High School, class of’84, and gradu
ated from Cornell University in
1988. She was a voracious reader of
all kinds of books and was a great
student of foreign languages. Amy
was fluent in French, German and
Russian by the time she graduated
college and she learned Arabic while
serving in the Peace Corps in Mo
rocco. After returning home from
Morocco in 1991, she was killed in
an automobile accident in Utah.
This Book Fund was established
to reflect Amy’s interest in reading
and foreign languages as well as her
interest in learning about people of
the world. The Fund was recently
expanded to include purchase of
books about women in history. In
side each book purchased is a label
noting that it is part of this collec
tion. This Fund has been made pos
sible by the ongoing contributions
from Amy s family and friends. New
titles are constantly being added.

these Gl’s learned all the skills and horrors of war,
exhibited enormous courage and rendered many
sacrifices. They learned about life. Their life expectancy in a combat infantry line company was
extremely short. Company C, 395th Infantry Regiment of the 99th Division, for instance, started its
war with 193 men who trained together in the
American South; by May 1945, only20of the original men were still with the unit.

Yes, these men learned a lot about war in the

the combat history of Company C. Wesley Peyton

FALL, 1993
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Across the
Librarian’s Desk
iving in suburban Lake County it
is easy to forget that Illinois has a
historical past as rich and varied
as any state in the USA. We all know about
Abraham Lincoln, but the story of Illinois
is an incredible tapestry of people and
events that cover far more than only one
man. For instance, how many people
know that George Rogers Clark marched a
Revolutionary War army straight across
Illinois to attack the fort at Vincennes,
Indiana, from the west? Or, that at its
peak, Cahokia Mounds was one of the
largest cities in the world?
£
My wife and I have

Kaskaskia, the
Sun., Sept. 12** Menard House, Fort
Du Chartes, Vandalia,
New Salem, Springfield, Cahokia Court House, Bishop Hill,
Nauvoo, Galena, Shawnee Town and the
Cahokia Mounds—a site of such interna
tional importance that it has UNESCO
protection. Luckily, you do not have to go
very far to experience our own history.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of
the Deerfield Area Historical Society and
Historic Village. The Society was here
when I moved to Deerfield 21 years ago
and I assumed it had been a Deerfield fix
ture for ever—and was somehow selfperpetuating. Jo Gourley says it best,
"Thousands of hours of dedication, devo
tion, and hard work later we have a
whole Historic Village."
What I have learned over time, of course,
is that the Historic Village is not self-per
petuating, and what a huge difference a

Library Can Serve Special Needs
To comply with the new Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), the Deerfield
Library is in the process of installing a new
accessible elevator, accessible restrooms,
lowered telephone, lowered Circulation
Desk, lowered drinking fountains, assisted
door openers, ramps, signage, and new
door hardware.
The Library has also added a Visual-Tek
magnifying reader, a TDD telephone for
communications and will add a new ADA
catalog terminal. The Chicagoland Radio
Information Service has also provided
two radios which offer news from local
newspapers for patron use. If you or anyone
you know requires any accommodation
or if you have a question about ADA
compliance, please call the Administrative
Librarian at 945-3311.
The library maintains a large selection of
large print books, books on tape, and has
home delivery through our Books-To-Go
program. We also can be a contact for the
Library of Congress talking book program,
The Library staff is always interested in
your suggestions.
It Would Help Us If:
• You bring your library card when you want
to take out a book. In lieu of your card,
you must have a valid i.d.
• Should you lose a book and need to pay for
it, we must replace the book; do not
bring us your replacement.
0 If you have ordered an interlibrary loan
book, we will call when it arrives. Please be
\ sure to pick it up. Library statistics show that
the average cost for a completed interlibrary
loan transaction can be $30. This is a free
service to our patrons.
• If your community organization needs to
book a meeting room, one of your group
must have a Deerfield Library card.
Reservations may only be made 3 months
in advance.
Librarian in the Library
Jack Hicks, Library Director and a member
of the Board of Trustees will continue their
successful monthly "in person suggestion
box" on Tuesday, September 14 from 7 to 9
p.m. They will meet the public informally
in the front lobby to listen to ideas, con
cerns and plaudits from community resi
dents. Librarian in the Lobby will also
meet the public on Monday evenings,
October 11 and November 8.
Gail Ml
Head of Patron Services
Supervising the seven day operation of
Deerfield Library's Circulation Desk is
Gail Kroll who holds a Master's Degree in
Library Science from Rosary College and
worked for 6l/i years at Northbrook
Library's Circulation Desk. She also
managed three Crown Bookstores and the

Gail said, "Although I've only been at the

BROWSING
at the DEERFIELD
PUBLIC LIBRARY
920 Waukegan Rd.
Deerfield, IL 60015
Winter 1989-90
Vol. 5, No. 1
the
e *De4h
A hearty welcome to the new North
Suburban Library System Director, Sarah
Long. Sarah has had an interesting library
career, including a stint in England. She
comes to our local system from Portland,
Oregon. Sarah is quite well known in the
world of libraries, and we are fortunate to
have her as head of NSLS. I wish her all the
best in the coming years. The nice part is
that she is a Deerfield resident.
The book I am recommending this month
is Among Schoolchildren, by Tracy Kidder.
When you think of fine creative writing,
fiction is usually what comes to mind; but
I feel that some of our most creative writers
today are writing in the non-fiction tradi
tion. Four are John McPhee, Richard
Rhodes, Paul Fussell, and Tracy Kidder.
Together they have written nearly forty
books—all of them fine, creative writingall fascinating.
Some of the recent titles are: John
McPhee—Outcroppings, Rising from the
Plains, Heirs of General Practice. Richard
Rhodes—Farm, The Making ofthe Atomic
Bomb, The Last Safari. Paul Fussell—
Wartime, Thank God for the Atom Bomb,
and interestingly, a book about my all-time
favorite author, Siegfried Sasson’s Long
Journey. Tracy Kidder has back-to-back
best sellers in his books House and Among
Schoolchildren. These are outstanding
books.
Among Schoolchildren traces the yearly
accomplishments of a very uncommon
grade school teacher as she practices her
skill among seriously deprived fifth
graders. Kidder captures the daily
classroom life, the interaction of the
children and the caring that the teacher,
Mrs. Zajac, brings to each child and each
day. The Chicago Tribune described this
book as “stirring hearts and minds...in the
necessary, caring heroism of a dedicated
fifth grade teacher.
This genre of creative non-fiction is not
a new phenomenom, but these writers bring
enormous talent, style, and craft to bear on
a type of book too frequently overlooked.
I urge you to read one of their books.
Talking Books for the Reading Disabled
The Deerfield Library participates in the
Library of Congress National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. This is a free national library
program for visually and physically
handicapped persons who are unable to
read or use standard printed material
because of blindness, visual disabilities, or
physical limitations.
The National Library Service produces
full length books and magazines on recorded disc and cassette and in braille. Special
cassette and record players are provided in
order to listen to these books. Persons who
fill out an application (signature from a certifying authority verifying their physical
difficulty is required by law) may enroll in
Deerfield’s talking book program. They
may borrow from a variety of 27,000 titles
on disc and tape, as well as over 8,000 titles
from the regional braille library.
The options include popular interest
books, best sellers, classics, mysteries,
westerns, romances, poetry, histories,
biographies, music instruction, children’s
books, and foreign language materials. Participants may also subscribe to more than
70 popular magazines in recorded format
and in braille. They may request specific
books, or may select from a variety of
catalogs. Participation in the program ineludes free, no time limit, use of the special
special playback equipment and a free talking book catalog mailed to the residence six
times a year. All of these special books on
tape go through the mail postage free.
Headphones and pillow phones are also
available.
To apply for this service, contact a
librarian or Nancy Faulk at the Circulation
Desk.
Deerfield Library’s regional source for
these materials is the Suburban Audio
Visual Service of The North Suburban
Library System.
In addition to this special National
Library Service, the library has a substantial large print book collection, and an
increasing number of audio cassette books
on tape that can be played on regular
cassette tape players. These in-house collections, of course, require only your Deerfield Library card,

Oast
As the decade comes to a close, and holi
day time brings us thoughts of good will to
all, we would like to express publicly our
thanks to some Deerfield residents who
have given of themselves and worked hard,
(some behind the scenes), to bring better
library service and/or programs to the com
munity. Our 1989 library angels are: Bill
Bixby, Virginia & Nick Carter, Tom
Jester, Richard Lyon, Bob McClarren, and
Steve Neulander.
Also a note of thanks and a happy new^B
year to our Library Board of Trustees who
work long hours with no pay for the benefit
of Deerfield Public Library. Their names
are on page four.
�Staff Changes
Rick Bean, reference librarian at Deer
field Library for over four years, has left
become a reference librarian at DePaul
niversity. Mr. Bean, well known to many
Deerfield patrons, accomplished a number
of professional duties at the library includ
ing valuable assistance in the preparation of
the online catalog for public use, a Business
Resources Index and public relations
activities.
Two librarians, Cindy Wargo and Karen
Hicks (no relation to Jack) are now sharing
the position vacated by Mr. Bean. Cindy
and Karen are not new to the library as they
formerly shared part time weekend posts at
the reference desk. Both are Deerfield
residents, hold masters’ degrees in library
science from the University of Illinois, are
married and have young children. Cindy’s
past experience includes 11 years at
Evanston Public Library where she was
Head of the Reference Department. Karen
was a librarian at Maine West High School
in Des Plaines for six years, and reference
librarian at Cook Memorial Public Library
for 2Vi years.
Tom Sherman, newly appointed Head of
Building Maintenance, was a page at the
Deerfield Library for 6 months prior to his
appointment. His diverse background inudes gardening at the Botanic Gardens,
>use painting, and selling at Kroch’s and
Brentano’s bookstore.

New Software Programs
The Youth Services Department has
some new software available for patron use
on the Apple HE. Among the programs are:
“Curious George Goes Shopping” —
Children become involved in helping
George find various items on his shopping
list.
“Math Rabbit” — As they play circus
games, children develop skills in counting,
adding, subtracting and recognizing
number relationships.
“Where in Europe Is Carmen San
Diego?” — Older children will enjoy track
ing down a thief in one of 34 European
countries.
Saturday Stories
Kindergarteners and first graders are in
vited to the popular Saturday Stories which
will be held December 16 and February 10.
These sessions are similar to the preschool
storyhours but feature longer, more com
plicated stories and often a short craft
project. There will be separate registration
for each program, beginning one week
prior to the program.
An additional 100 people per month
are taking advantage of reciprocal borrow
ing arrangements of the North Suburban
Libraries. (This permits members of other
communities to borrow Deerfield books—
and vice versa.) They’re borrowing at a
rapid rate. Monthly borrowing for all items
at Deerfield continues to average a steady
22,000.
Literally hundreds of junior high
students visited the library for instruc
tion/orientation in Fall.
The library’s Harold Gershowitz
November program elicited the following
response from an attendee “This was a
great moment for me. Moment means the
hour plus spent here.’’ The charismatic
local author of best seller “Remember This
Dream” donates all proceeds from his book
to the Holocaust Memorial Fund. The book
was 10 years in the writing, in long hand
on a legal pad during weekends.
Need a tax write off? The Youth Ser
vices Department needs used blenders,
computers, and record players in working
condition for future programs.
