Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as the home of the Prohibition-era Shelton Brothers Gang, the true heritage of Wayne County, Illinois, is the collective life of its ordinary citizens--their surroundings, activities, and challenges. In 1819, settlers named the county seat Fairfield because there was "no fairer field" than the broad prairie between the timberlands. Villages scattered across the 715-square-mile county attracted families, teachers, doctors, blacksmiths, ministers, and merchandisers. The railroad brought prosperity. Fairfield's opera house, college, woolen mill, stately churches, elegant homes, and packed business district made it a social hub. In the 1900s, Sexton Manufacturing added a massive factory complex, including Cambridge Court cottages for unmarried female workers. On farms, poultry production reached industry levels. By the 1920s, the county had over 100 one-room schools. The discovery of oil in 1937 relieved Depression-era woes and fueled Fairfield's civic expansion after World War II. These photographs show generations of shopkeepers, students, farmers, musicians, builders, barbers, teachers, merchants, and factory workers in the heart of the rural Midwest.

Claiming jurisdiction by right of conquest, Virginia, upon the fifth of October, 1778, passed "An Act for establishing the County of Illinois, and for the more effectual protection and defense thereof," which enacted "that all the citizens of this commonwealth who are already settled, or shall hereafter settle on the western side of the Ohio river, shall be included in a distinct county which shall be called Illinois County.' When St. Clair county, our first county, was formed, April, 1790, by the proclamation of Arthur St. Clair, Governor of the Territory of the United States Northwest of the River Ohio, it included all the country between the Illinois, Mississippi and Ohio rivers and a line drawn from the Illinois at the mouth of the Little Mackinaw, a few miles below Pekin, to the Ohio at the mouth of a small stream a short distance above Fort Massac which stood at the eastern edge of Metropolis City. (St. Clair Papers.) Knox county, now entirely within Indiana, was established the twentieth of the following June and embraced, with parts of Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, all the territory in our state east of St. Clair and the Illinois river to the confluence of the Kankakee and Des Plaines and a line due north from that point. (St, Clair Papers.) Randolph was created by proclamation October 5th, 1795, and included all the territory south of a line drawn from the Mississippi through Cove Spring (near Waterloo) to the Knox county line; thence along Knox to the Ohio. (St. Clair Papers.) On August 25, 1796, Governor St. Clair created the Wayne county that is now wholly within Ohio, giving it, with other territory, all of Illinois north and east of a line running from Fort Wayne, Indiana, "westnortherly to the most...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Wayne and Clay Counties, Illinois We herewith present to the people of Wayne and Clay Counties a history of this portion of Illinois, from its earliest known existence to the present time. In some things the reader may think, especially if he should be a stranger to the pioneers or their descendants, that at times we deal in details that are tedious, but in a generation from now these details will be the more highly prized the more full and complete they are. Then, in telling the story of the general county histories, we believe they will be found clothed in a literary garb, and brightened with reflections, suggestions and philosophical deductions, that will make it a storehouse for young and old, where they may acquire new and enlarged ideas, and thus receive profit as well as pleasure, that will repay them a thousand-fold for the small outlay of the original cost of the book. This work has cost us much labor, and a large expenditure of money, and although our territory for patrons is sparsely settled, and, therefore, our patronage but limited, yet we have given in this book more than we promised, and we feel assured that all thoughtful people in the county now, and especially in the future, will recognize and appreciate the work and its permanent value. We are indebted to the kind assistance of most of the prominent people in the county for interesting facts and assistance in our compilations, and also to F. M. Woolard and G W. Smith for their valuable contributions of interesting chapters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
