Friday and Saturday in the Dwight Township High School auditorium. Tickets are available in advance at a discount and at the door. Among the early settlers may also be added the following persons who settled in the township up to 1860: John Francis, John Harper, William Edwards and his sons, Charles Holmes, and perhaps a few others. Francis came from Ireland, Edwards was an Englishman, Holmes was from the old Bay State. S.A.

Hoyt is a New Yorker, and came here before there was any village. A farm entered in that early day in what was termed the "Swamp Lands" was sold by him for $38 per acre, which shows what efficient drainage will do. Byron Phelps, a son of Orin Phelps, is supposed to have been the first white child born in Forrest Township. John James Thompson, a little son of Mr. Thompson, so often mentioned in the early history of Forrest, was the first death, and took place in 1838, the next year after Thompson came here.

There were no neighbors in reach, and the family themselves had to bury the child. Mr. Thompson dug a kind of trough out of a walnut tree, in which the corpse was placed, then covered with a slab, and in this rude coffin was buried by its own family. The above is an excerpt from "The History of Livingston County, Illinois," c. 1878, pages 521-522.

Bradley Mtr. Co. 415 W. Howard Pontiac 842-1128 By PONTIAC LIBRARY Of the latter era of the settling in Forrest, Israel J. Krack occupies a prominent place.

He came from Tippacanoe County, a county distinguished and hallowed, almost, in consequence of containing the battle field of Tippacanoe, where Gen. Harrison won his great battle over the Indians. Mr. Krack was present on the Tippacanoe battleground in 1840, at the grand rally, when Harrison was a candidate for president of the United States. When Krack removed to Forrest, there were in that township the Thompson family (Mr.

Thompson, the head of the family, had died some years before), Charles Cranford, George Williams, John Towner, Fred and James Farnsler, Samuel L. Hillery and Levi Ide. James Beard was one of the early settlers of Forrest, but of him not much information could be obtained. He bought Charles Jones' improvements, which originally consisted of but one "forty," and around this he entered enough additional land to make a half section, and this place Krack bought when he removed to town. It was the most important place in the neighborhood, near the center of the township, and a kind of nucleus around which other settlers clustered as people came into the settlement.
