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

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.

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.

Story on page 2
60 YEAR REFLECTION
�From the Director
We are in year three of our Strategic Plan,
developed in 2016 after months of work.
We surveyed Library patrons to gather their
feedback about what they want in their Library.
The staff and board are proud of the work that
has been accomplished. We have increased unique types of items
in the collection, added a self-checkout station for ease, adjusted
check out periods and added new spaces for our youngest patrons
in the Youth Services Department
In response to the enhanced emphasis in education for science
and math, the Library has responded with an increase in
technology programs. Some of our most popular programs have
been rooted in the maker technology. The maker movement is a
technology-based extension of DIY culture that intersects with
computer culture. This focus has coincided with our interest in
repurposing some of our space.
In 2018, the staff and board began working with Product Architecture
& Design, a firm that specializes in creating flexible library spaces.
We evaluated various options for reconfiguring our physical collection,
and have decided to repurpose the space that houses our DVD and
CD collection. We anticipate that we will see this transformation to
begin in the summer of 2019. We will be moving the Media Desk
from a somewhat hidden position to a more accessible location. This
new collaborative workspace will provide our community innovative
access to technology. We are excited to invigorate the space, and will
provide further details as plans develop.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Deerfield 1959: New Insights
At the end of 2018, the Libraiy launched a new website, The Fight to Integrate Deerfield: 60 Year Reflection (deerfieldlibrarj.org/FID).
The website documents an important and complex time in the history of Deerfield and the United States. With the website, the Library
is presenting an array of special programs and exhibits to illuminate our community’s stoiy.
This is not a new story. There were community programs on the 1959 integration crisis for the 40- and 50-year anniversaries, and it has
been part of the Deerfield schools’ curriculum for years. This 60-year reflection was inspired by receipt of new historical documents for
our archives, new revelations, and several recent and forthcoming books and projects that feature Deerfield’s integration case.
Website
The new website includes online exhibits,
interviews, discussion guides, booklists,
a timeline of events, and our historical
archives. This will serve as the online
home for our resources for years to come
so that, beyond our program series,
future generations will have access to the
materials.
Historical Archives
The preservation of our physical archives
has been an important component of our
60 year reflection project. Standout items
in the newly digitized history collection
include newspaper articles quoting
Eleanor Roosevelt and Martin Luther
King Jr., anti-integration editorials, and
items related to the formation of the pro
integration Deerfield Citizens for Human
Rights.
Exhibits
2
Temporary exhibits will feature original
primary source materials including
propaganda, protest handouts, newspaper
articles, and rare photographs on loan
from the Art Shay Archives. Exhibits
will be on display in several locations
throughout the Library for the duration
of the program series.
for the Library’s permanent collection.
The photos represent a documentary and
artistic record of the fight over integrated
housing in Deerfield.
Art Shay Photographs
Share Your Story
A generous donation from the Friends of
the Deerfield Public Libraiy has made
possible the purchase of two photographs
by longtime Deerfield resident and
world-renowned photographer, Art Shay,
We are interested in personal stories,
memories, contemporary reflections, and
physical documents related to the fight to
integrate Deerfield. If interested, email

�This newsletter’s focus is on the non-traditional items
that DPL has to offer. It’s an interesting idea. What is a
“non-traditional” item? According to my dad, a DVD is
something that he considers non-traditional. My dad is a
voracious reader and library user, and he uses his public
library for books.
As I reflect on my almost 20 year career as a librarian,
I remember when computers were considered nontraditional. Computers! Something so ubiquitous today
was quite the big deal when I began my career. The first
public library I worked at after library school had a
shelving range dedicated to regional Illinois phone books.
Speaking from personal experience, those were a hard
thing to shelve! We also had CD-ROMs instead of online
databases and a vertical file. A vertical file was a filing
cabinet that had folders of “current” information, as
well as things like maps. In my tenure at that library,
we got rid of the phone books and the vertical file to
add more, you guessed it, public access computers.
Public libraries have been adept at evolving and
changing to meet the needs of their individual
communities. Deerfield is no exception. In the past
year, our collection of non-traditional items has grown
considerably. As a public library, we are about meeting
our patrons’ information needs in a variety of formats.
We have learned that this can be in the form of a
Roku or a telescope or even a board game.
Check one out today!
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Take home a telescope (and more)!
Once upon a time... long, long ago (ok, maybe just 20 years ago), most public libraries
had only print items for check-out, plus small collections of audio and video materials.
Fast-forward to 2018, and the DPL collection has creatively expanded to provide an
enhanced experience for our community.
Siona and Eva Rajshekhar (1-r, cover) are two of the Library’s most enthusiastic
users of “non-traditional” library materials. These Wilmot students have found that
their experience with DPL’s Discoveiy Kits stimulated an interest in STEAM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities. They have continued working
in these subject areas both at camp and school. Their interest in architecture and
engineering resulted in the cool wood structure on the cover, built with DPL’s KE\A kit.
Siona and Eva report that the structure represents the future headquarters for their
business, still in the planning stages, for “spy missions or dog walking, or both!”
Come on in and learn more about all this
fun stuff. You’ll find our non-traditional
materials in the Youth or Media
departments.

fj| Please register in advance at the Library, by phone at 847-945-3311 or

In 1959, residents of Deerfield learned a housing developer planned to sell homes in the village to
black buyers as well as white buyers. Many residents opposed integration and sought to halt the
development. A smaller group, the Deerfield Citizens for Human Rights, formed in support of the
development. In the weeks that followed, Deerfield residents passed a park referendum designed to
condemn the developer’s land. The crisis in Deerfield became a national story, attracting the attention
of Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, and Eleanor Roosevelt. After years of demonstrations and
legal battles, the land became parks that stand today.
Continuing a community tradition, the Library is inviting residents, historians, and experts to offer
new insights into this history. We have updated and digitized our archives, made new acquisitions and
discoveries. The Library is also partnering with Deerfield schools to enhance existing curriculum. We invite
you tojoin us for a series of discussions, lectures, exhibits and other opportunities to reflect on the 60 years
since the fight to integrate Deerfield began. Programs and exhibits run from January 21-May 2,2019.

Read Without Boundaries: Vol. 2
In 2018 we launched our year-long reading program, Read Without Boundaries,
designed to challenge readers to try new authors, genres, and topics. We had such a
great response to this program, and were honored when it was selected the winner of
the 2018 Illinois Library Association Readers’ Advisory Service Award.
Because of the program’s success, we’re excited to announce that the challenge will
continue in 2019, with an opportunity for teens to participate! Each month will focus
on a different theme and participants will be provided with a suggested reading list.
Participants can choose a suggested title or another title, as long as it fits the theme of
the month. In January, we will kick off the challenge by reading a book about Illinois
histoiy or a famous Illinoisan. Stop by the Adult Services desk beginning November 14
for more information and to sign up. Prizes will be awarded monthly and those who
complete all 12 months will be entered into a grand prize drawing.

We are proud and pleased that the
Pioneer Press Deerfield Review fea
tured the Deerfield Public Library’s
70th anniversary in the January 9
issue. They wrote “The Deerfield Li
brary has truly been a pillar of the
community. Although not the
North Shores largest in size or vol
ume, it easily ranks with the best in
performance. Hicks and the elected
board of trustees have made the
most of every resource.”
And while we are “tooting our
own horn”, next time you see Jack
Hicks, congratulate him on “mov
ing the library steadily forward for
25 years”!!

America has always been defined by three ideas:
equality, opportunity and fair play. To a great degree
those ideas set us apart from the rest of the world,
especially our emphasis on fair play. In the past twenty
years or so even the most optimistic of us would agree
that meanness has crept in to replace fair play and

ue Benn and Ken Abosch
will run for positions on the
Library Board of Trustees in
Deerfield’s April 1 election. Sue Benn
seeks re-election after twenty years on
the board. An active community
member, Benn has been library board
president for four years. She has been
instrumental in library automation,
expansion of services, programs, and
renovation. Ken Abosch, a seven year
Deerfield resident, is Head of Com
pensation Practice at Hewitt Associ
ates. He is particularly interested in
service to families.
Tony Sabato, library board trea
surer, will retire from the board af

been a sound financial manager, an
energetic library supporter and has
worked on numerous board commit

plenty of them to worship. Without the Soviets to loathe
we have turned against each other.
It is not hard to single out the factors that divided
us over the past thirty years: a Vietnam that hasn’t
gone away for too many; the assassinations of JFK,
Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the riots that
followed, the Democratic convention of 1968,
Watergate: the list is long. All of that was a dark pe
riod in our history; it was not the age of aquarius at all.
It was an age of betrayal and loss of innocence and
marked the beginning of the loss of national purpose.
Contined on page 2
�rian'i
continued from paget
The pain and rancor of all of that divided
us as a country. I remember Nixon’s cam
paign slogan of 1968: "Bring us together."
What irony. Today we are polarized by race,
economics, politics, religion, and an emerg
ing class system. All this in an era of great
well-being.
We are bombarded daily with negative
information about our political process and
our elected officials. Not a day goes by with
out a new scandal, wasted millions, and a
partisan Congress. As a society we have
become inured to the outrage we all once
felt. We accept rhetoric for ideas, sound bites
for knowledge, and low level political tricks
for leadership. Worst of all we allow simple
minded ideas to be passed around as legiti
mate thought. The one idea I am going to
examine is the cheap-shot of term limits
which is bandied about from all sides as an
instant cure for our political ills.
The Congress enacted presidential term
limits back in the early 1950’s as a reaction
against the four terms served by President
Roosevelt. It sounded like a good idea, and
it apparently looked good enough for legis
lators to enact it into law. But I would sug
gest it was short sighted, mean spirited, and
contributed to the litany of divisive forces that
I listed above. I don’t know if anyone was
paying attention, but all elective offices have
built-in term limits; they’re called elections.
It is easy to speculate that if Dwight
Eisenhower had been allowed to run for
president in 1960, none of the traumatic
things listed above would have even hap
pened.
Don’t scoff. Ike had great acceptance and
performance ratings from the American pub
lic; he had really mastered the job by 1960
and was widely respected. He also told us
two things that were ignored when he left
office: beware of the military-industrial com
plex and avoid a land war in Asia at all costs.
So it follows logically that there would have
been no Vietnam, no assassinations, no ri
ots, no Watergate, no deficit, and no disillu
sionment. The ideas of equality, opportunity
and fair play were ignored. We threw a great
president out of office. By accepting cheap
rhetoric without examining the conse
quences we reaped a whirlwind we pay for
everyday, with no end in sight.
The books I am recommending this
month are negative choices, but very reveal
ing of our political process. Both have been
on the best seller list; one is a badly written
book with a dubious premise and odd con
clusions, the other a well written book cov
ering an unsavory series of incidents. If you
harbor thoughts that Robert Bork should be
a Supreme Court Justice, read his Slouch
ing Toward Gomorrah and if you think Bill
and Hillary rule with clean hands, read
James B. 9tewart’s Blood Sport.

A Message From Judy Haddad,
Director of Youth Services
I recently returned from a month long sojourn
in Israel. I came back to America gladly and
gratefully. You might be thinking I was happy
to be back because I missed my
family or I didn’t want to be
blown up in a terrorist attack.
Well, you would be wrong. •
What made me feel that we are I
|ucky t0 iive jn the United
States, especially north suburban
Illinois, is the quality of the libraries. There is
just no comparison between the quality of ma
terials and services you find in the North Sub
urban Library System libraries and anywhere
in the world. Rich or poor, big or small, the
libraries in Israel just couldn’t cut it. In many
libraries in Israel, you wont find a children’s
section at all, much less one with such a variety
of puzzles, cassettes, cd’s, computers, or even
books. However, Israel has something that
Deerfield doesn’t—warm beaches.
