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

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

HISTORY OF LAKE COUNTY.
Bartlett, followed him west in 1836, locating
near Libcrtyvillc.
Richard and Ransom Steele came to the
county in 1S34, made claims and erected a house
about two and one-half miles south of Libcr
tyvillc. Returning cast for their families in the
early winter, they occupied the new home in
February, 1835. In this house, June 20, 1835,
Albert B. Steele was born. He was the son of
•Mr. and Mrs. Richard Steele, and was the first
white child born within the limits of what is

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In addition, seed grain, livestock, implements,

The first schoolhouse was built by Lyman Wilmot of logs.
It is said that tHe school had to face south so that Mrs. Wilmot
could see the children enter the building.
Does the door that the fourth graders use today face
south?
A second schoolhouse was made of rough boards and had a
dirt floor.
The third building, built in 1858, burnt to the
ground before it could be used.
A fourth structure was built

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

- - - •:
The Library Board is p- .
launching increased . A
efforts to inform and
seek feedback from
Deerfield residents about Library
needs and possibilities. During
Februaiy, the Board formed a citizen
input group of interested community
members. In March, the Board will
hold open house-style public
information sessions for all interested
Deerfield residents. For convenience,
the days and times will vary, but the
information will remain the same. The
intent is to share information about
the Library’s current building,
infrastructure problems, programming
and service limitations, future needs,
and funding alternatives. In exchange,
the Board will seek feedback from
community members to help the
Board consider and assess
alternatives.
In late spring, the Board will use
an independent firm to conduct a
scientifically-representative sample of
randomly chosen residents for a
telephone survey. The results will be
shared with the citizen input group
and others. In June and July, a second
round of public information sessions
will be held for all residents, to share
results of the survey and other inputs,
and to seek additional feedback.
Through these public-engagement
activities, by late summer, the Board
hopes to determine which alternative
may be the most attractive to
community members. The Board will
then decide how to proceed toward
that objective, and how the project
should be funded.
Library Board Hosts Open House Events
to Discuss Facility Options
Interested community members are invited to attend one or more of the Library
open houses scheduled for March. The open house will be an opportunity to learn
more about the facility issues and needs, options being studied, and financing
alternatives for building improvements. A formal presentation will take place at
the beginning of each session; then attendees may stay for the discussion and
tours. The Library Board is encouraging feedback from the community on the
various Library options. Visit the Library Web site for further information and to
register in advance. All sessions are at the Library.
Open House Dates and Times
Wednesday, March 3,9 - 11 a.m.
Thursday, March 4, 7 - 8:30 p.m.
Saturday, March 6,10 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Tuesday, March 9, 7 - 8:30 p.m.
Saturday, March 13,10 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Zipcode
The third season of the community
wide program “One Book, One Zip
Code” comes to a close in March. In addition to the book
discussions that are such an important part of this
continuing conversation, the Libraiy will also be hosting
film screenings of Iranian movies, a discussion of the
graphic novel and film Vfor Vendetta, and a lecture by
Senior Lecturer at Northwestern University, Dr. Bill Savage on the popularity and
merit of graphic novels.
Information about these and other programs is listed in this issue of Browsing, on
the Libraiy’s Web site, and on the One Book web site:
www.onebookonezipcode.org.
If your book group is interested in reading Persepolis1 a trained book group leader
from the Deerfield Public Library can come to your group to lead the discussion.

Permission Form are available on the Library’s Web site.

mechanized process to repair and clean DVDs, CDs, and
game discs), and general “straightening up” in the Library. If
you have a limited amount of time but want to make a big
difference, contact Jody Wilson atjwilson@deerfieldlibraiy.org for
more information.

Our Heartland Celebration!
You are Welcome to Attend, 2pm, Sunday, March 21.
The Unveiling of the Lars-Birger Sponberg Painting
A resident of Deerfield for over 50 years, artist Lars-Birger Sponberg has painted a
Midwest landscape that is gracing the wall above our Circulation Desk, the
first thing you see as you enter the library. Sponberg’s career spans nine
decades, and his work has been shown in solo exhibits and group shows in
the Chicago area, Sweden and New York and can be found in numerous
private and corporate collections.
Most recently he has painted “Midwest landscapes” as seen from the road
side. They invite the viewer to enter into the rural landscape on intimate
terms. The library’s painting, McHeniy County, according to Sponberg
“was in my mind for quite some time. Basically it is a real scene (near
Richmond, IL) but I’ve changed and added and done what artists do.”
His intention was to make a good painting, and the scenery is secondary.
Lars-Birger Sponberg works on
our library painting in his
Deerfield home.
Deerfield’s Peter Nye and the Chicago Blue Grass Band
Deerfield’s Peter Nye and the Chicago Blue Grass Band will entertain at the March 21
event with “slamming traditional bluegrass music with a big city wallop”. This internation
ally acclaimed group, a favorite at the Old Town School of Music, will focus on the heart
land. (See Adult Programs)
Refreshments for the afternoon will be donated by Deerfield’s Whole Foods Market.
We love Deerfield and
want the library to
be important to the
community. A focus on
Deerfield is our library’s
overriding spring theme.
As you look through our
newsletter, you will see
that we are highlighting
our community, its
citizens and its talents.

�A Review of the Deerfield Public Library’s
Long Range Planning Process—2001-2004
ver the past year and a half the
library board has been working on
a plan to create a library that
serves patrons’ needs now and in the
future. We would like to share with the
community our work in progress. Our goal
is to plan for the library to continue to be a
source of pride to Deerfield.
The current library was built in 1969 to
house 61,500 items in 32,500 square feet.
Today that same space houses 180,000
volumes. At that time the library employed
14 staff. Today we employ 46 staff mem
bers. We have added music, video and
audio collections. There were no comput
erized catalogs, Internet and no cabling for
a computer network. There was no separate
fiction room. Since 1992, the library has
expanded facilities and services within the
limitations of the present building. We
have reached our space limit and cannot
adapt newer technologies or new services
to our existing structure.
Our vision statement: The Deerfield
Public Library is an educational resource,
cultural center, community gathering place,
and a gateway to technology. The library
will promote lifetime learning. We will
offer all the programs, materials, and ser
vices necessary to participate in the world
of ideas and provide our patrons with the
tools to succeed in the future.
O
Steps the board and staff have
completed:
• Formation of a long-range planning
committee
• Review of previous long term planning
committee reports
• Review of several years of suggestions
from Librarian in the Lobby

idents and conducted twelve focus
groups
• Conducted a needs assessment based on

• Anders Dahlgren prepared a detailed
strategic facilities plan, assessment of
library service goals, service delivery
options and space needs. He recom

Babe Ruth. Ruth
was barnstorming
across the country
with cronies and stopped, for reasons
unknown, in my Uncle’s hometown
of Rockwell City, Iowa. He wanted to
play golf and asked for the top golfer
in town as a partner. That was my
Uncle, then a teenager, Alan Voss.
Aside from family photos and
memories and faded “Rockwell City
Advocate” newspaper clippings, that
minor piece of Rockwell City history
is lost forever in the vast series of
events that happen in towns small

Long Range Plan Continues to Develop
By Sunday Mueller, Board President
Over the last year the Library Board of Trustees has been hard at work in developing a
long range plan for the Deerfield Library. When it is finalized, the board will release
its written plan to stand as a blueprint for the future. Key components of the plan will
include both the library’s operations and facilities.
Public Opinion Laboratories (POL) of Northern Illinois University conducted a
telephone survey this past spring, completing 1,000 interviews with Deerfield,
Bannockburn and Riverwoods residents. Many of the respondents especially valued the
library’s accessible location and Children’s Department. The Adult Fiction Room
received high marks and there was a stated desire to enhance the audiovisual and non
fiction holdings. Other respondents indicated use of multiple libraries, and the data was
helpful in providing insights about the reasons for that use.
Hoping to gather in depth opinions about the library, the Board commissioned
POL to conduct focus groups. Twelve focus groups were held over the summer with
ten different subgroups of residents. Grouping the participants allowed the moderator
to explore issues of special interest to that particular group. As one might expect, the
opinions from these groups were varied but common themes were identified.
Since the library’s current physical space is fully utilized, we hired Anders
Dahlgren of Library Planning Associates, Inc. to assess the current space needs of the
library. Using more conventional space allocations (wider aisles, lower shelving) as
well as the proper amount of seating space, it would take a building about 50% larger
just to house our current holdings and services. Dahlgren is now working on an
estimate of long range space needs based on projected holdings, program of services,
new services and overall projected growth for the next 25 years.
As we continue this process, there will be more information needed and many
options examined. As you can guess, the board has spent many hours on this project
and knows there are many more ahead. The board is totally committed to creating a
vision that best meets the needs of current and future library users — using the
interviews, focus groups and space needs study as a source of direction. We will share
this vision as it unfolds in ftiture issues of Browsing.

Library Service for Residents of Unincorporated Areas
With the passage of Illinois Public Act 92-0166 in January, 2002, the rules have changed
for purchasing a library card if you live in Riverwoods, Bannockburn or unincorporated
areas of Deerfield. If you are new to the area or have never had library privileges, you
must bring in your current tax bill to determine the cost to you. If you hold a recently
expired non resident card, there is a grace period at the old rates.
The good news is that the new state law will allow you to have borrowing privileges at
other libraries with your non resident fee card.
If non-residents have a question, or wish to purchase a new card please see Joan or
Sidney at the Front Desk. Library cards are free to Village of Deerfield taxpayers.
�Adult Programs
Programs are free but reservations are requested. Many of these progams can be
seen at home by accessing our home page: www.deerfieldlibrary.org and

�“I was seven years old when the
library opened,” said Deerfield
resident Muriel Zahnle, (maid
en name Lemm) as she
recalled her first visit to the

original Deerfield Public
Library seventy-five years
ago. It was located inside the

“You have to understand I was looking at it from a little girl
perspective. We entered from the outside of the building,
through the white double doors. I could smell the new varnish
and marveled at the new shiny unmarked maple floors. The
windows were bright, with no coverings. The wood was light,
but there was no front desk like our library today. The librari
an Mrs. Wolff sat at a yellowish teacher’s desk. She stacked
the books on her desk as they were returned. We had cards to
sign books in and out, and Mrs. Wolff had a stamper. My
favorite books were the Bobbsey twins and all those other
twins books, the Eskimo twins, the Japanese twins, etc. The
books in those days were bound in one color: red, blue, etc.
and had few illustrations. The library was only in one room.”
“There was no furniture to sit on like we have today, and the
hours were 2-5 p.m. a few days a week as I recall. Mrs. Wolf
(the librarian) was always available and remembered your
name. She was a small, gentle person with large glasses who
serviced her readers, always finding the right book for the
right person. It was friendly because she made it friendly. She
had a card catalog but the budget must have been limited
because she always welcomed donations. I enjoyed her. Her
assistant was a young, slim Mrs. Dobbins.”
“I had never been in a library before. On a summer’s day my
girlfriends and I would walk across Waukegan Road (from
Osterman where Muriel lived), past the Standard Oil filling
station. We often stopped at Herman’s ice cream parlor.
(Deerfield Commons was a field.) We had room to roam and
could go safely. The library took care of activity during the
long summer; we had lots of time to browse. You could take
books out for several weeks but you couldn’t call the auto
matic renewal number from home like you can now! The
library was too small to be a social center as it is now;
instead, Deerfield was a small church community. It is such a
different town for me now.”
Muriel continued her visits to the library’s next home at the
758 Waukegan Rd., a converted storefront, and then to the
third site which is now the
West Deerfield Township

from home repair to chil

course she recalls when the library moved to its present loca

library. “We love reading around the fireplace now.” A life

enjoys biography, drama,
and cookbooks. She espe
cially appreciated the
talking books when she
had problems with her
eyesight. As Muriel has
been a library user for 75

Across the
Librarian’s
Desk
It is with a pang of real sadness
that I note the passing of Steve
Allen. To many of us from my gen
eration he is remembered as a very
talented and creative man who, if
he did not invent late night televi
sion, certainly put his mark on it.
The late night talk show hosts as
personified by Jack Paar, Johnny
Carson, Jay Leno, David
Letterman, or Conan O’Brien owe
much to Steve Allen. Their format
and style is one that he invented
and perfected. His talent and origi
nality have never been equaled and
his presence will be missed. A man
for all seasons, he was a composer,
a comedian, a writer, an actor and a
serious thinker. He was a Chicago
boy and his death speaks to my
youth.
Old timers like myself always
talk of the “golden age of televi
sion” with reverence. Whether reverence is deserved or not is beside
the point. We remember it that way,
and there is no way to convince us
dial TV is alive and well and better
than ever. I clearly remember the
first television event that I ever
saw—the Ezzard Charles and Jersey
Joe Walcott title fight of 1948 or ‘49.

Library Entrance Lobby Redesigned
A brighter and more welcoming entrance to the library will soon be completed by
architect D.F Wrobleski, who was the architect for the library’s lower level Fiction
Room and Youth Services Department. Wrobleski said this was required to be in
compliance with ADA standards. The original floor’s surface had become very irregular
and dangerous.
“This is an opportunity to install a new, light colored floor and doors to increase a
sense of welcome to the library. Furthermore, the exterior concrete was cracked by
winter snow melt and is being replaced with a more decorative stone and brick. Two
stone planters will be installed to separate the building from the parking lot” he said.
For those fond of the front lobby water fountain, a memorial to Deerfield’s Donald
McCabe, be assured that it will remain; it will be redesigned a little smaller to make the
library more accessible and will be set on a circular rose marble base to make it safer
for traffic in and out of the library.
Since the ADA required renovation, the library board took this opportunity to
enhance and update the library lobby and make the entrance safer for everyone.
Blumenthal Selected for Library Board
Jeff Blumenthal, a Chicago native who has
lived in Deerfield for 11 years has been
appointed by the board from among a number
of applicants to fill the unexpired term of
Yvonne Sharpe. Sharpe, a board member since
1992, has moved to Riverwoods.
Blumenthal, a civil litigation lawyer for
Foran & Schultz, spends a great deal of time
in the library, “It’s my home away from home”
said Blumenthal who loves to read and often
brings his wife and three children. He is a
graduate of Northwestern where he majored in
liberal arts and has his law degree from the
University of Pennsylvania.
Village manager Robert D. Franz (left)
swears in Jeff Blumenthal as a new
library board member.
The Library will be closed:
December 24,25,31 and
January 1.

Across the Librarian’s Desk (cont.)
I watched with my Dad at a local saloon; the
bartender confided to us that he had a lock on
TV in my hometown, “because he got into TV
on the ground floor.” I think that set had a six
inch circular screen and the bar is now a parking
lot. Reminds me more than a bit of today’s
dot.com frenzy.
So much has changed in American life in the
past fifty years it is impossible to get a frame of
reference or to see the scope of those changes.
Certainly the younger generation has no idea
what we are talking about when we use terms
like “Stalin ” “cold war” or “golden age of tele
vision." Why should they? For them man has
always been on the moon, they have always had
cell phones, pagers, and post-it notes. Viet Nam
is a country, not an issue tearing generations
apart. They have no idea what it meant to say
“I Like Ike” and really love a presidential candi
date. The young don’t know Watergate, maybe
Iran-Contra and the Gulf War..... events distort
ed by TV.
In a way, television is a microcosm of the
past fifty years. It started off simply, got our
attention, developed a persona, went from black
and white to color and took off in complexity
and controversy. The first coast-to-coast broad
casts were events everyone watched with awetelevision could span the continent. Many of us
sat transfixed by Joseph Welch and Joe
McCarthy. There were the first presidential
debates, the moonwalk, the assassinations. At
the same time TV got very shallow and compli
cated, losing its originality in the quest for cor
porate profit. Style and content went by the
wayside and the medium was branded a “Vast

Wasteland.” Edward R. Murrow, our best TV
newsman, warned that without standards televi
sion was nothing more than “lights and wires in
a box.”
In many ways the real golden age of televi
sion is now. Cable, satellite dishes, DVD, com
puter animation, and now instant live program
ming delay are all significant technological
advances. Picture quality and program availabil
ity are nothing short of sensational. There is
something on television, cable, or dish twentyfour hours a day, seven days a week. Events that
happen half a world away are instantly shown
on TV as they happen. It is absolutely a techno
logical marvel, but somehow we are poorer for
it all. The media can show us events, but puerile
analysts cannot tell us what the events mean or
why it happened. TV reality has become, after
all, a light show in a box with all the intelli
gence and integrity of a kids video game.
So the passing of Steve Allen has special
poignancy for those of my generation. His talent
and originality are missed; we are left with a
void not met by corporate minions. Lights in a
box will never challenge us, inspire us, or make
us laugh. I believe the golden age of TV is now
because of the stupendous technology, but I also
firmly know the golden age of talent has long
since passed. Jackie Gleason, Edward R.
Murrow, Ernie Kovacs, Steve Allen, to name
only a few, are talents we will never see again
because they could never slither through the fil
ter of the corporate sieve. I recommend Hi-Ho,
Steverino! by Steve Allen for a glimpse into this
American original.

page three) will be humming
along during major department
renovation. At least one portion
of the area will be kept open to
patrons at all times and, when
necessary, programs will be held
in the upstairs meeting room.
Donald F. Wrobleski of DF
Wrobleski Architects will
be principal architect for the
renovation. Wrobleski was
architect of the remodeled
Fiction Room, and he will be
extending the 20th century
modernist classic design and
palette of light and materials of
the Fiction Room into the
Youth Services area while
specifics will be different. New
carpet and furniture, more win
dows and angled (faux) sky
light should brighten the room
without structural work. Stack
space for books will increase
by 1/3. “The idea is to make it
more comfortable, efficient and
organized” said Wrobleski. The
project should be completed by
fall.

New Policies for YOU!!
In response to patron requests, we are making two important changes at the library:
1. Starting immediately, you may borrow fiction books of over 400 pages for three
weeks. Formerly you only had one week to read a novel which was up to 500 pages!
2. Beginning the week of September 13 we will be open on Fridays until 6 p.m. The
library has always closed at 5 p.m. on Fridays. The rest of the library’s hours will
remain the same.

North Suburban Library System (NSLS) Director Sarah
Long, Riverwoods attorney Bruce Huvard, Deerfield
Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks,
NSLS president Robert B. Lyons.
At the North Suburban Library
System Annual Banquet,
Library Advocate Awards were
presented to Jack Hicks, Bruce
Huvard and William Seiden
(Library Board Treasurer) for
establishing a private library
corporation in Riverwoods,
giving residents with no library
service the opportunity to
obtain access to full library
services at the Deerfield Public
Library.

Librarian’s Desk
I
n 1968 a friend of mine, Rowland
Higgins, who now teaches mathe
matics at Cambridge, England, wrote
a letter to the London Times suggesting
that all Olympic competitors—from all
nations—march and compete in identical
white uniforms. This view was not dri
ven by post-modern nostalgia but by a
genuine fear that amateur sport was
becoming far too politicized and profes
sional. The letter was printed in the
crank file.
How prescient Rowland was. The
Olympics truly did descend to perilous
political depths as Iron Curtain countries
and western democracies struggled with
each other for political dominance. The
result was every imaginable attempt to
subvert the spirit of the Olympic Creed
and the rules of fair competition as state
run machines immersed themselves in
blood doping, drugs, surgeries, gender
ambivalence, ruthless competition, bro
ken lives- making the Olympics a sham.
The end of the Cold War did not end the
abuses, merely transferred them to the
commercial arena. The day 30 year old,
hardened, professional basketball players
suited up as the “dream team” was a low
spot for amateur athletics. The charm,
naivete, innocence and the purity of ama
teur youth was replaced with professional
greed—and not just on the part of the
athletes. The warning signs were there
but we chose to ignore them in our lust
for gold medals. What a descent from
1936 when Eleanor Holm Janett was dis
missed from the Olympic swimming
team for drinking champagne on the boat
to Europe. Perhaps there is no value in
innocence, amateurism, or honesty any
longer.
Corporate giants around the world turned
the Olympics into a bottom feeder’s food
frenzy. Logos, sponsorship, glamour and
hype attached themselves permanently to
the Olympics at America’s 1984 Los
Angeles gala and provided a fatal poison.

Many of these sports companies exploit vir
tual slave labor in Third World countries;
since that is unpalatable we avert our gaze.
Instead of a once-in-a-lifetime experience
for wide-eyed young athletes, jaded profes
sionals now make a living out of being full
time Olympians, appearing at Olympics
after Olympics until they are too creaky to
make a go of it, effectively denying youth
and innocence a chance. The other extreme
is twelve year old gymnasts with severe
overuse injuries, and anorexia, from too
many hours on the bars. Shame, shame, on
all of us.

Corporate America and the desire to make a
buck are not a bad thing. We all know the
benefits of a burgeoning economy, but—and
this is a big but—there are places where
greed, money, bribes and corruption do not
belong. They do not belong in any way,
shape, or form with the Olympics. Coiporate
power has no place in amateur competition.
Proof of this point is the irony that the last
great moment in sports for the U.S.A. was
the completely amateur team that won the
Editor: Sally Seifert
The disgrace now brought to the Olympics
by the Salt Lake City bribery scandals
reveals a worldwide free-fall from ethics and
standards. It seems now, in the aftermath,
that everyone involved either takes bribes,
pays bribes, looks the other way, or just
doesn’t care. Bribery and corruption are, of
course, a way of life in all too many coun
tries. The whole point of the Olympics was
designed to prove that honest, fair, competi
tion in sport, could be a starting point for
honest, fair dealings between nations. What
the Olympics has become is a mirror of our
selves, nationalistic, grasping, greedy—a
charade, not a pretty picture. Perhaps the
Olympic motto of Higher, Faster, Farther
should be replaced with “just get it.”
Is it too late to try Rowland’s idea of white
suits?

You Deserve the Best, and so do all our other borrowers:
Would you believe? We send out $100 in postage weekly for overdue notices (it
used to be $15 a week). Damaged library materials number into the thousands per
year. Water damaged books start a major deterioration process. When cassettes are
left in the sun in a hot car, tapes melt. A dog chewed comer shortens the life of a
book as pages break down. Sometimes we get books that have taken a bath along
with their borrowers...not good! Patrons must pay for damages plus a processing fee.
Could everybody please be more careful with library materials?
