| 7052 | George Sibley & the Hennepin Shooting Club During the early 1950's, Joe French one of the first Midwest decoy collectors traveled extensively along the Illinois River collecting old wooden hunting blocks. He often visited with the local sportsmen asking about the old decoy makers and gathering as much information as he could while he built his collection. One day in 1952, he bought a gunnysack full of blocks in Putman, Illinois. Among the rig was a neat little bluebill hen with a "Patent Applied for 1899" stenciled on the bottom of her wide v-bottomed body. The bill was mitered into her head and appeared to be carved of a different hardwood than the rest of the decoy. Another body by the same maker was split exposing a hollow pine cavity with a piece of strap metal lain inside the base of the decoy to make it self-righting. Since that day, French has been looking for the identity of the maker of his little bluebill hen. In 1968, Hal Sorenson published an article by French entitled, "Mr. X, Mr.Y ; Mr. Z; in his magazine, Decoy Collector's Guide. In this piece, French introduced other collectors to favorite decoy that he still couldn't identify, but recognized as a great Illinois River decoy. Labeling the maker as Mr.X, he said: "I have run into these 'hardbills' from LaSalle down to Beardstown, scattered at regular internals on the Illinois River...and have found several on the Mississippi. Charlie Perdew did not know who made them, and neither did the countless other carvers and hunters who I have chased down on wild leads. For almost 40 years, French and various other collectors have been searching for the identity of Mr. X with no success. My husband, Joe and I have a wonderful Mr. X widgeon in our collection, and it is one of our favorites too, so we have often wondered who made these birds. Joe Tonelli has spent as much time as anybody looking for decoys on the Illinois and has become an avid waterfowling history buff as well as a collector. He has been fortunate to come across lots of old letters, records and other printed materials about he hunting clubs in our area of the Illinois River. Not long ago, he was shuffling through some papers he found relating to the Hennepin Shooting Club which was started in 1887 and disbanded in 1914, when he spotted an old ad for a decoy company he had never heard of before, Sibley Co., Manufacturers of the Sibley Decoy". He couldn't believe what he read in that pamphlet: It is the only decoy made with a hardwood inserted bill (patent applied for)... Our decoys are weighted on the inside... having a leather loop on the bottom to attach the anchor string. This was a description of the Mr. X. decoy! This first lead led Joe from Hennepin, Illinois to Whitehall, Michigan to Chicago, to Colorado, to Texas and, finally to Tennessee. Here is the story of French's Mr. X. decoy. Sibley Co., which was owned, by father and son, James A. and George M. Sibley of Chicago, Illinois, manufactured the decoys. The Sibley family genealogy is studded with members who played notable part in American history, and is considered to be one the old guard American families that can trace its roots back to early settlers who came to the New England Colonies in 1629 in the Winthrop's Fleet. James Sibley was the patriarch of the Sibley's involved with the decoy company. He was one of the original members of the Chicago Board of Trade. His son was James A. Sibley who it appears provided the financial backing for his son's decoy making project since he was in his late sixties when Sibley Co. was in operation. It was George who was an avid waterfowler and one of the original members of the Hennepin Shooting Club and the club secretary for several years. Much of the initial information we found came from the club's records and Sibley's letters. The Hennepin Shooting Club was established in 1887. Letters between the club's president and the landowner of the grounds the club would lease lamented the areas poor hunting conditions in 1886 caused by lack of control on the shooting area and the need for organization and a caretaker. Since the men purposing the club were all successful Chicago businessmen who loved to hunt, money was no problem. The land was leased and a large houseboat built to serve as the clubhouse. The houseboat was moored at the mouth of Brimfield Slough, which emptied into the Illinois River and lead to Hennepin Lake and its watershed. This boat was eventually moved into the town of Hennepin and made into a house that still stands with several additions. The club grounds consisted of the lands that are now known as the Hennepin Drainage District. The club was disbanded in 1914 when Hennepin Lake and its watershed were drained. The club's membership reorganized and formed the Senechwine Gun Club on the opposite side of the Illinois River, which is still in existence as one of the most prestigious duck hunting clubs on the Illinois River. Sibley's identity was so elusive because he stopped hunting in Illinois in 1901 and moved to Colorado, stopping the production of his decoys and taking his hunting rig with him. According to his descendants, George continued to hunt waterfowl using his decoys in Colorado until his death in 1938. George lived and worked in Chicago prior to this move. It seems that he set up the decoy factory in Whitehall, Michigan around 1899 when he applied for his patent because his cousin had a large lumber mill there. His correspondences mentions going to Whitehall, but most are from the Chicago address of his other's business, a commission merchant house, where George worked. The Sibley decoy Pamphlet described the decoy as being modeled and painted from specimens furnished us by the best taxidermist in Chicago. James Cunningham, Hennepin, the first club caretaker was a great friend of George. In fact when a new caretaker was hired to replace Cunningham, he was advised by George not to contact any of the members if the hunting got really good unless they wrote to him first. Members of the club passed a by-law forbidding this practice after Cunningham was accused of alerting George and not the others of good hunting days. Cunningham produced the Senachwine Skiff, a 16-foot punt boat made of sheet iron that was popular on the Illinois River. He also made duck calls, so, it is likely that he may have helped George design his decoys. George's son recalls watching his father repairing his decoys in the basement workshop of his Colorado home, but never actually making any decoys. We believe that the Sibley decoys were manufactured on a production line like the Mason decoys. The parts were turned on a lathe, hand-finished, assembled and painted. The Sibley Co. produced mallard, canvasback, redhead, bluebill, ringbill, pintail, widgeon, blue-winged and green-winged teal decoys which were shipped by the dozen, six drakes and six hens, for twelve dollars. Flat bell shaped anchors and strings dyed a neutral color were added for fifty cents per dozen. The finely carved heads with quality taxidermist eyes were finished off with bills that could be carved down to realistic proportions because they were made of hardwood, thus creating natural looking decoys. The two-piece bodies appear to have been hollowed out by machine because the cavity was terraced. As mentioned before a strip of strap steel was set into the body cavity. The practice and the mitered bills were the features that George tried to patent. A small leather strap was affixed to the underside of each breast for an anchor line. The paint patterns used on all the Sibley decoys were simple with no wet blending of the paints. The back of the drakes were vermiculated and set of with bold wing patches. The hens' back were crudely feathered with the same wing patches. All of the bottoms were coated with a heavy layer of white lead paint and "PATENT APPLIED FOR 1899" was stamped on them in ink. Some of the decoys were factory stamped with an "L" in the center of a diamond. The reason for this stamp is still unknown. So the Mr. X decoy still retains some of its mysteries. | Sibley, George Murdock (I820)

| 7061 | Haile (1807 - 1876) was born at Putney (VT). He had little if any schooling. In 1821 his family moved to Chesterfield (NH), and a year later, at fifteen years of age, Haile moved in with the family of Ezekial Pierce, a store owner at Chesterfield. In 1823 Haile began work as a clerk for Mr. Pierce, and he continued there until 1828. Then, aged twenty-one, Haile married (Sabrina Shaw Walker), borrowed some money and started his own store, at Centre Village (NH). Haile continued at Centre Village until 1835, when he heard about abundant waterpower at Hinsdale (NH). Convinced that Hinsdale would be a good place to relocate, Haile relocated. He continued his store until 1846, when he went into the lumber business. The Hinsdale textiles company of Haile & Todd (later Haile, Frost & Co.) specialized in "cashmerette", an inexpensive imitation of the luxury woolen fabric. Haile was elected a State Representative (1846 - 1850, 1853), and a State Senator (1854, 1855; President of the Senate, 1855). He was a State representative again in 1856, then ran (as a Republican) for the governorship and won. He repeated in 1858. Governor Haile opposed extending slavery to new American states and territories, and he opposed the Supreme Court's support for the Fugitive Slave Law (in the 1857 Dred Scott decision). Adopting Know-Nothing positions on immigrants, Haile opposed the public sale of spirits, and continued immigration. He established a state reform school, and wanted a State Normal School as well (the legislature finally created one in 1870). In retirement Haile continued his business at Hinsdale; but he moved to Keene (NH) in 1873. He died in 1876. | Haile, Hon William (I1512)

| 7080 | HERMAN MELVIN, one of the farmers who have assisted in the material development of that goodly portion of Mercer county known as West Salem township, was born there, on his father's old homestead. May 30, 1857, the son of Squire Lester Melvin, who was born September 15, 1831. Squire Melvin attended school until seventeen years of age, after which he was engaged in farming at home. May 31, 1855, he was united in marriage to Mary Miller, born June i, 1834, a daughter of Henry Miller and wife, of West Salem township. The name of the mother of Mrs. Melvin was Bortz. Henry Miller died at the age of eighty-five years, and his wife when seventy-four years. His father, John R. Melvin, was born on the old Melvin homestead in 1802, and married to 1829 to Elizabeth Woods, who was born March 16, 1806, and died June 2, 1846. The great-grandfather of Herman Melvin. Richard Melvin, died in 1824, and the great-grandmother in 1816. This venerable couple located and cleared up the old homestead where so many of the family have been born and reared. It contained three hundred acres and was all finely improved by the various generations of Melvins. It has been in the possession of the family for over two hundred years. Herman Melvin attended the common schools of his native district until about twenty-one years of age, and continued working at home until twenty-eight, when he took possession of part of the old place, so sacred to the memory of the Melvin family. He is making the place better each year and keeps up the good reputation of the Melvins as agriculturists. Politically Mr. Melvin is a Democrat and at present is holding the office of tax collector of his township ; also is constable and has served as an assessor one term. He was married January 27, 1887, to Delia Woods, born March 18, 1869, a daughter of J. W. Woods, a farmer at Maysville, Pennsylvania, whose wife's name before marriage was Clarinda Brown. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Melvin are Glenn Ord, aged twelve years, and Harry Lester, aged five years. Mr. Melvin 's brothers and sisters were: John H., a farmer in West Salem township; Allen E., George B. (both deceased); Ida, at home; Susan, wife of G. F. Reimold, a farmer of Otter Creek township; and Solome, at home with her sister Ida, and these sisters are keeping house for the father.

| 7086 | HORACE DICKINSON TAYLOR (1821 - 1890) At the age of 17 Horace Dickinson Taylor left his native Massachusetts with his brother, Edward, after the sudden death of their parents. They settled in Independence, Texas, in 1838, and in 1848 the Taylor brothers moved to Houston where they established a cotton business. Horace became sole owner of the business in 1850 and soon thereafter bought a warehouse near a steamboat landing on Buffalo Bayou. From this strategic location he could roll cotton down to boats waiting below and within a short time developed a thriving cotton brokerage enterprise. Horace married Emily Baker in 1852. They reared three sons and two daughters here on their 3.5 acre wooded homesite. Taylor became one of the city's influential citizens, serving as Alderman in 1861-1862, Mayor in 1866, and as an elder of the First Presbyterian Church. Buffalo Bayou, neglected during the Civil War, was dredged during Taylor's term as Mayor, effectively re-establishing commerce to the Gulf. The bayou soon became the lifeline of Houston businesses, allowing the city to successfully compete with Galveston for trade. Taylor, who was one of the founders of the Board of Trade and Cotton Exchange in 1874, continued in the cotton business until his death. | Taylor, Horace Dickinson (I1685)

| 7092 | Illinois, Deaths and Stillbirths, 1916-1947 (familysearch.org) Charles Albert Day, Pres. D.A. Stuart Oil Co., born 12 Jan 1865 in Peoria, IL to Charles B Day of Binghamton, NY and his mother of Bennington, VT, married Harriot, died 12 Nov 1942 in Chicago, Cook, IL. Buried 13 Nov 1942 in Graceland cemetery, Chicago, IL. from Peoria Journal Star, 15 Nov 2008 by Terry Bibo (pjstar.com) It took 66 years, two days and 20 minutes to bury Charles Albert Day. Once the Chicago-based CEO of an oil company and the scion of a well-known Peoria family, Mr. Day's remains have been sitting on a shelf at Springdale Cemetery since World War II. At 91, Peoria's Charles Kellogg is Day's great-nephew and appears to be the closest surviving relative. He didn't know until three weeks ago. "It's a complete surprise to us," says Jackie Kellogg, as Springdale general manager Pat Lewis helps her husband of 62 years over the soft and uneven ground to Day's graveside on a misty Friday morning. "You never know what's going to happen when the phone rings." Chuck Kellogg is a trifle unsteady, but sporting, as he takes his place for a ceremony to bridge the gap between long-overdue and totally unexpected. "People will think this is for me," he says, pointing his cane at the square hole where the small ceramic jar containing Day's cremains will be placed. A handful of Springdale employees laugh. Along with the Kelloggs, two journalists and a local historian, they are the only people here. Special instructions on the Day family plot prevented this funeral for decades. Close friends and family are understandably scarce. But finding a way to inter these cremains had become a mission for Lewis over the last three years. When he discovered the faint connection to the Kelloggs in October, they made brief yet respectful arrangements. "This is something that is 66 years late," Lewis says as he begins to read prepared remarks. His research shows some odd coincidences. Charles Albert Day was born in Peoria on Jan. 12, 1865. He married Harriot Wheeler Langdon on Nov. 14, 1911 - so he was buried on what would have been their 97th anniversary, if there had been such a thing. (No record of children was found.) His relatives ran what was known as Day Brothers & Co. Dry Goods, but this Day left and became president of D.A. Stuart Oil Co. from 1917 until he retired at 65 in 1929 - neatly spanning from World War I until the Depression. He was living in Chicago when he died on Nov. 12, 1942 - which is 47 years to the day when his father died. Day's death certificate says he was cremated and buried there. But Springdale records show his ashes were shipped to his wife in San Diego, and she sent them back to Peoria. Knowingly or not, this created a problem. There was a handwritten note in the file dated Sept. 19, 1921, that no one could be buried on the Day Brothers lot without permission. If there is a reason why this never happened, no one here knows what it is. Lewis considered going ahead with his own ceremony, and then he found the Kelloggs, who agreed to attend. "I have come to affectionately refer to Charles as 'Chucky,'" Lewis says. While Springdale has been Day's guardian, perhaps he has been an angel for the cemetery, as well. "I feel Chucky has been in a better place for those 66 years, and now his earthly remains can be placed with his mother in what is a very special place." A wan ray of sunlight warms the hillside the Day family chose in 1874. It embraces the same vista Lewis uses to demonstrate Springdale's rejuvenation when he talks to community groups. A small pile of earth is trundled over to the grave and tamped down. The whole thing takes a bit more than a quarter of an hour. "He deserves to be put to rest finally," says Jackie Kellogg as the small group trudges back to their waiting cars. "Poor soul." | Day, Charles Albert (I2062)
