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

Subject: local historical research
Page 1 of 1
a. J (? jo 2, &Q. i. dC~
Can you please check your files to see if you can find any reference confirming the existence
of a "Andrew Jackson" from Mississippi who passed through Deerfield, Illinois on the
Underground
Railroad circa 1858-1860? We are trying to confirm a local story that says Deerfield
abolitionist Lyman Wilmot arranged for him to live with and work for the Lorenz Ott family one
winter until he could head north to Canada in the spring. That family received one letter saying
he had arrived safely, but that was the last they heard of him. Unfortunately, we do not know if
"Andrew Jackson" was his real name. There is a fugitive narrative by someone else with the
same name written earlier (1847) but that person was from Kentucky and the circumstances
do not seem to match our fugitive's, who was supposed to have been the son of a white
master and a black slave.
I tried to search the list of names on your web site, the one following the list of families, but
all I got was the message "not found" for the link to the "persons" - perhaps you can search
this a different way?
Also, if you have any other suggestions, we would appreciate it. Thank you.
Sincerely, C.H. Wargo, Reference Librarian

Buxton
THIS MUSEUM, officially opened in 1967. was Raleigh Township’s Centennial Project as a memorial to the Elgin
Settlement, haven for the fugitives of the American system of slavery in the pre-Civil War years.
THE ELGIN SETTLEMENT, which was for many the last stop on the Underground Railroad, was founded in 1849. Under
the guidance and supervision of Rev. William King, litis historic Black settlement soon nourished, becoming a self sufficient
community of some 1200 to 2000 persons. Its first school, the Buxton Mission School, soon surpassed its neighbours in
academic achievements. The settlement built around an agricultural economy included many thriving businesses owned and
operated by the settlers, such a saw and grist mill, a potash and pearlash factors', a brick yard, hotel, blacksmith shop, and dry
goods store, among others. Part of the success of many of the early inhabitants was assisted by the fact that the employment
opportunities offered by the construction of the cross-Canada railway enabled them to purchase outright the land they had
settled. And their many achievements were enhanced by the emphasis they placed on quality education for themselves and
their children.
THE SECOND SCHOOL, set up in the northern end of the settlement now functions as part of the museum. The tlirce
churches built during the settlement’s early years still serve this community. The road and drainage systems built by the early
settlers still serve the widespread farming area.
FOLLOWING THE CIVIL WAR and during the period of reconstruction in the States, many of the settlers returned to their
homes in the south to help educate their recently emancipated friends and neighbours.
NOW KNOWN AS BUXTON, the Elgin Settlement is one of the few remaining Black Canadian settlements still in
existence since the pre-Civil War era. It is a community which has, to a large extent, preserved the co-operative way of life
with which it was begun.
THE OLD SCHOOL (1861) and cemetery (1S57) are on the grounds adjacent to the museum. Farm implements and tools of
the times, household good and furnishings, clothing, jewelry, personal belongings of some ofthe original settlers, and much
more, are all displayed to bring to life the era of the nourishing Elgin Settlement. A part of history gone but not forgotten.
Website by
JDNEWBY
The Museum is maintained through grants from the Municipality of Chatham - Kent, and the Ontario Ministry of Culture
and Communication, admission fees, and donations.
Facilities include a large picnic shelter and barbecue, washrooms, a wheelchair access ramp to the museum and plenty of free
parking Of special note is the Research Area which contains resource materials pertaining to local history and genealogy.
North Buxton Today is inhabited, for the most part, by descendants of those original settlers who elected to remain in
Canada. Though no longer the nourishing community it once was, it still remains a vital and active Black Canadian village,
which continues to remember and preserve its role, and its roots in North American Black history and in the history of
Canada. In 1964 these descendants petitioned the Raleigh Township Council to allow them to use the grants provided for
Centennial projects by the Federal and Provincial Governments. Raleigh's share of the money that had to be raised was raised
entirely within the village of North Buxton, through the efforts of the villagers.
THE MUSEUM'S PRIME CONCERN, is the preservation of material and artifacts of Raleigh, with special emphasis on the
history and accomplishments of the original settlers in the Elgin Settlement and their descendants. Among oilier things, it
houses the bed, dresser, diary and copies of'papers belonging to Rev. William King as well as many other articles and papers
of historical significance in this community.
SINCE 1972, RESEARCH has been carried out on the families of Buxton. Most of the people of the Elgin Settlement have
been identified and indexed and considerable other information is now available in the museum, in forms of records and
family trees. Although the research has been done mainly on Elgin Settlement people, it was inevitable that it would extend
into other areas as well. If you are looking for your "roots", we may have a piece of the puzzle.
THE BUXTON HISTORIC SITE & MUSEUM now includes a well-stocked research library, a cultural room where the
works of several Black artists of local origins are on display, and where video presentations detailing the area can be viewed
by appointment.

'The increasing demand for suburban property .near
hicago, especially along the north shore are factors in
■inging about added interest to the "North Shore West"
rea. The completion of the new Union Station was ex
acted to bring better train service on theXJhicago, Milaukee and St. Paul Railway.
/
The proximity of Deerfield to Highland Park and Lake
orest, and to Ravinia with its gran'd opera in the sumer is greatly in favor of the development of a high
•ade community. For the wtimen the easy access to
Highland Park Woman’e^Club, with its excellent culiral programs, to the North Shore Chapter Daughters of
,e American Revolution (for those who are eligible)
ith its fine patriots and educational work, adds to
eerfield's desirability as a residence place.

“UNDERGROUND RAILROAD” ACTIVITIES
The first real information of Andrew Jackson, the run
away slave, Samuel Ott imparts to this generation. In the
winter of 1858 a mulatto, about 28 years of age, came to the
home of Lvman 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 he 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 oh 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
north.
The man was a good worker, kept the horses clean (he
had been a yardman on the plantation) and “made a nice
gate of stout wood” which he said would last till the slaves
were freed. When that occurred he requested Mr. Ott to
destroy the gate, which sentimental resque3t 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 Caimdal After reaching the slaves’ haven, An
drew wrote"to ills benefactors who had taught him to read
and write, ofliis safe arrival, and that was the last that
they ever heard of him. Samuel Ott was fourteen years of
age at the time, and he recalls much that the negro did
r\ 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 if
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 hotdebates 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 ipay 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 wom^n 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 whosi 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 I/ake County."
Clergymen, physicians, educators, home makers, farm
ers, lawyers, leave their influence upon the community
development in a way that fit is difficult to estimate.
Their faith, energy,\courage, self-sacrifice and devotion
attest the results which they have achieved in Deerfield
township.
\ /
•\
Judge V. V. Barnes, y former Deerfield man, attorney
and counsellor at law in Zion City, said:
“Few things are as\/interesting as the annals of
states and communities yand the time will come when
whatever may be writtenAor preserved will be considered
as all too meager. From such events and records the
historian weaves his mpst edifying and absorbing tale.
Already Lake County has uurnished many events of in
tense and peculiar interest and men and women have
been permitted to lap^e into silence whose knowledge
and words should have /beenWeserved 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 vfe 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 Xassociated with the lives
and welfare of the people."
\
Martin C. Decked, 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 a1,homemaker
and housekeeper /with no labor saving devices, and few
conveniences, anti/ 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 tile ingenuity of the mother kept them
clothed and fed in spite of drouth, flood, army worm, and
hail that destroyed their crops. CornmeaI\mush was the
daily diet, Mijk was used for making cottage cheese,
but the cream as reserved for butter making, and this
product so rich in vitamins, (not known before this gen
eration) was 4°Id 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

HISTORY OF DEERFIELD W

wheat cakes with sorghum were a luxury, and ,quail
rairie chickens, and partridges were had so often thaf
they were not the luxury that they are to this generation
A cheese similar to Limburger was made by the /German*
by forming cottage cheese into little balls, placing them
in\a crock and allowing them to ripen. The7fluid tha!
formed around the balls was poured off frequently anti

suckers 1% 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 tvphoid.\ Screens or netting on windows/were unknown'
Wells aug were six feet deep.
/
Cand\es made by the women from jnutton tallow and
cotton v^cking dipped, and also made/in molds, were the
lights used. Later a two wick lamp,/without a chimney
in which raccoon and lard, or campjiene 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 Ajrisms 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 iniprovement for\the sight. A Chicago directory of is CO
advertises lard\oil, lunar oil, kerosene binnacle oil, Mayville coal oil, alcohol, camplidne, and burning fluid.
Clothes were 'made for the men by the women of the
family after they had been but 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\Alsac,4
,
, were used to make the yarn
for stockings, mittehs, afid large scarfs which took the
place of overcoats. Mr. George Rockenbach has one that
his mother knitted. \
Alter the log hous^/era frame houses were erected.
These were very simple structures, built on the ground
without cellars under/\hem, but with board instead of
dirt floors. A few ha
getable 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 p'antry, 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 me early days\of our township was conducted under difficulties. In a\one room log cabin that
contained the beds of the parents and seven or more
children, the syove 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 oA the ice in winter, attending spelling, writing and singing schools, and among
the young men engaging in feats td show strength such
as lifting parrels of flour, and wrestling were among
their pastimes. Fist fights sometimes decorated their
drab, dull/lives, as when the boys of flhe east and of the
west prairies met in swimming in tha 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 dadcing parties in any house that had three rooms,
and if/there was but one room we moved \he stove and
bed out of doors, brought our fiddler and had our dance.
When it was over we moved the stove and bWl back in
place and returned home in one sleigh loaded with plenty
of straw.”

What’s Next? That is a P'
A
question I field many
times a day from
residents interested in
knowing how our construction plans are
coming along. Our design process is just
kicking off. The Library Board is seeking
input from a variety of sources to refine
the design concepts. In the near future,
we will also begin the Village Commissions
approval process. Consistent with our
commitment to keep residents informed
and involved, we are planning a community
meeting this spring to share the renderings
of the design to that stage. This would
include the interior, exterior, landscaping,
and energy plans. Please watch for
announcements of the date and time.
At
Although actual construction is still far
off, there are sounds of construction near
our Circulation department as we install a
RFID system for patron convenience and
improved accuracy. A new interior “window”
has been created. Library materials returned
through that window are automatically
checked in, reducing error and getting
materials back to the shelves more quickly.
We are also combining our Teen and Media
service desks into one unit at a more
convenient location for improved service.
Look for our new, welcoming Information
desk and hot beverage vending near the
Library entrance, and patron-oriented
checkout stations in Youth Services as
well as at the Circulation desk. (Thanks
to the Friends for purchasing the first of
three new stations!) We welcome resident
feedback to make these services even
better in the new construction.
Bottom line: We never stop seeking ways
to better serve our library patrons and
community.
Faster, More Accurate Service
with RFID and Self Check
As the Library plans for a large-scale renovation
project, we are making a series of service
improvements that will have immediate benefits
for our patrons before implementing them in a
reconfigured building.
We have recently put Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in all of our
materials to increase the speed and accuracy of checking items in and out of
the Library. RFID will check in items instantaneously, with nearly 100%
accuracy. Items will automatically be sorted upon check-in and get back on the
shelves and into circulation more quickly.
RFID tags will also allow patrons to quickly and easily use new checkout
machines installed on the Library’s upper and lower levels. Self-check stations
help patrons get their selections out the door and home to eqjoy sooner. Staff
members will be available all hours of operation to assist patrons with these
new stations.
Patrons who require assistance with library card registration or questions about
their account will now be able to take their time working with a circulation
staff member away from busy checkout lanes. In addition, an Information desk
near the front gates will also help patrons get speedy responses to our most
frequently asked questions.
Implementing RFID at this time will also greatly improve the Library’s ability to
keep track of materials during an extensive renovation project. Read more
about the Library’s next steps in the Message from the Director.

�Coming Soon: Blu-ray
Thanks to a generous donation from the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library,
we are currently building a collection of Blu-ray films! The new format will be
available this spring.
Attention Local Histoiy Bull'-:
/e/<?PubVc
The Friends of the Deerfield Public
Libraiy are happy to report that through
the community’s support purchasing
books from the Used Book Sale and
annual memberships, we are able to
fund the following items in 2011: partial
funding for a New Early Childhood
Literacy Station in Youth Sendees, a
substantial collection of Blu-ray discs,
and a Self-Checkout Station.
The Friends want to thank the
community for their used book
donations. The Friends continue to
accept gently used hardback,
paperback, and children’s books, as well
as DVDs and CDs. Please bring
donations to the Circulation desk at the
Library7 during regular business hours.
Volunteers sort and shelve these
donations, and we ask households to
donate only two shopping bags or boxes
per week.
We continue to need the support from
the community with Annual
Memberships. A Friends’ membership is
$15 per year, but any amount is welcome.
Please make checks payable to the
Friends of the Deerfield Public Library,
920 Waukegan Rd., Deerfield, IL 60015.
The Board of the Friends next meeting
will be held on April 27, 7 p.m. at the
Deerfield Public Library. Community
members and potential new volunteers
are always welcome. Please contact the
Friends at (847) 945-3311, ext. 8895 or
at friends@deerfieldlibrary.org.
The Friends plan on selling used
cookbooks again this year at the 2011
Deerfield Farmers Market. Look for us
this summer!

Recently, the Libraiy acquired nearly 60 years’ worth of bound Deerfield Review
newspapers, dating back to 1945. Each volume includes original articles,
photographs, obituaries, and advertisements.
Coffee, Tea, and Quiet
A new hot beverage station on the Library’s upper level now offers a wider variety
of coffee options. Coffee will sell for 25$ per cup and cups of cappuccino, mocha,
or hot chocolate are only 50$ each. This unit replaces the carafes of coffee that
were available in the Fiction Room.
Moving the busy beverage station out of the Fiction Room will help reclaim that
space for patrons looking for a quiet place to study, read, or just relax. Readers’
Sendees staff still look fonvard to talking to patrons about books; they’ll just be
using their “library voices.” Please help us keep this space one where peace and
quiet are a priority.
Did You Know? TV Turnoff Week is April 18 - 24, 2011
The Youth Services department offers a variety of games, puzzles, and coloring
pages to make your visit to the Libraiy an enjoyable one. Of course, there are also
books, recorded books, and music to check out and keep you busy without turning
on the TV! Need a recommendation? Stop by the Youth Services department!
Did You Know? Print from Home
The Library offers remote printing from any computer with Internet access.
Simply click on “Remote Printing” on the Library’s home page and send your
document to one of our print/copy stations to retrieve when you come in. Black
and white printing is 10$ a page; 25$ for color.
For the first part of this ACT Prep program, students will take a fully-proctored
practice ACT test and will learn what to expect in a test-like environment. Students
will receive a comprehensive analysis of their performance on the test, detailing
individual strengths and weaknesses. Be sure to bring a calculator, two #2 pencils,
