VIGENERAL HIGHWAY MAPKNOX COUNTYILLINOIS

STORY OF KNOX OOUOTYAbout equally productive as an agricultural and industrialarea, Knox County, located in the vast, corngrowingregion of west central Illinois, is unique for theniimerous literary, inventive, educational, religious andcultural leaders who were widely influential in its pasthistory and who contributed, in varying degrees, to theenrichment of American life.If Knox County produced Carl Sandburg, now acclaimed asa great American author and poet, it also nurtured theFerrises, one of whom invented the Ferris Wheel and einotherof whom created that popular American edible, popcorn. Ifthe county provided a setting for the work of the ReverendGeorge W. Gale, pioneer Midwest religious leader and founderof both Galesburg city and Knox College, it also servedas a proving ground for the steel, sel f- scouring plow inventedby one of its early settlers, Harvey H. May.About the time that the first railroad came to Galesburgand thus opened the way for the later constructionthere of the great Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroadshops, there existed in that same city two pioneer collegeswhich were outstanding seats of learning at that period. One

of these was Knox College, still in existence, and the otherwas Lombard College.In the years since then, Knox College has had an unusualnumber of students who went out into the world andbecame celebrated American authors. One of these, as wehave seen, is Carl Sandburg, poet, ballad singer, and authorof a monumental, six-volume biography of an immortalAmerican who once walked the streets of Galesburg — AbrahamLincoln.Another one-time Knox student is Earnest Elmo Calkins,who achieved top success in both advertising and literatureand whose novel They Broke the Prairie is a vivid and realisticportrayal of pioneer life in Knox County. It was stillanother former Knox student, George Fitch, who, in hishumorous " Old Siwash " stories in the Saturday Evening Post,not only based these popular tales on Knox campus life butcreated a new catchword for freshwater colleges in America.One more Knox undergraduate was the late Don Marquis, authorplaywright, and newspaper columnist.Before Galesburg' s other pioneer college, Lombard, wasabsorbed by Knox, it numbered among its students EugeneField, now known in American literature as " the Children'sPoet." At a later period Lombard College played its sharein the education of Quincy Wright, now professor of internationallaw at the University of Chicago and author ofA Study of War and other authoritative works on today'sworld problems.

Ot the several liiinois counties in whicu Lincoln andDouglas staged their series of seven Great Debates duringthe senatorial campaign of 1858, only Knox County retains abuilding m which one of those debates was held. This isOld Main, most ancient of the edifices on the campus ofKnox College at Galesburg. It was here that LincolnandDouglas engaged in the fifth of their series of historicdebates, the event taking place in the afternoon of October7, 1858.INTHE BEGINNINGAt one time, practically half of what is now the stateof Illinois was a single county called Knox, so-named afterGeneral Henry Knox of the Revolutionary War. But at thatearly period, which was after the Northwest Territory wasorganized in 1790, this Knox County included not onlv naifof Illinois but all of what later became Indiana, Vachiganand Wisconsin. When Indiana Territory was organized in 1800,however, this original, vast Knox County was greatly reducedin size and eventually it became an ordinary- si zed county mIndiana, enclosing tne historic old French town of Vincennes.By the time Illinois Territory was set up in 1809, noassociation with the earlier Knox County remained in the newterritory. Thus it may be seen that the Knox County in Illinoistoday was an entirely new county, not coming into existenceuntil 1825. It, also, was named after General Henry

Knox, When Illinois Territory was established, it consistedof only two counties, Randolph and St. Clair, and ourpresent Knox County lay in the latter.Then, in 1812, St. Clair was greatly reduced in sizeand a newly- created county, Madison, included the KnoxCounty of today. Here it remained until 1821 when PikeCounty was proclaimed; a huge county that embraced thefuture site of Knox. Then came the year 1823 when Pikewas cut in half and Fulton County organized; now futureKnox was in Fulton. And here it remained until Knox Countycame into being in 1825.MILITARY TRACTBefore Knox County was formed, and even before Illinoiswas admitted to statehood, the United States government setaside a vast region (two million acres) of wilderness landin Illinois Territory for veterans of tne War of 1812. Thiswas called the Military Tract. It lay between the Illinoisand Mississippi rivers and extended upward as far as a linedrawn between Rock Island and Joliet.As may be readily seen, future Knox County lay in thenorth portion of the Military Tract. Any veteran of the Warof 1812 could have a free quarter-section of land(160 acres)here if he wanted it. But there were not many who acceptedthe offer to settle in the tract; it seems the hardsnips offrontier life did not appeal to them. In consequence, most

of the ex-soldiers sold tneir " prairie quarter " for $100or even less, while others traded theirs for a horse, a cowor a watch.What happened afterwards was that many of the firstsettlers of this region had great difficulty in ascertainingthe legal status of the land they had staked out; they oftendid not know if their claim was " Congress Land, " whichthey were entitled to pre-empt, or " Patent Land, " whichbelonged to some veteran. Quite a few of the veterans soldtheir tracts to Eastern " land sharks. " Cases were commonwhere a " land shark " would turn up as owner and demand anexorbitant price for the land on which a settler had builthis cabin home and laid out a farm.KNOX COUNTY CREATEDAltnough Knox was one of eight new counties created bythe Illinois state legislature at Vandalia (then the capitalof the state) on January 13, 1825, the enabling act havingbeen signed by Governor Edward Coles, it did not nave aformal county government until 1830. During this interval itwas a dependency of its parent county, Fulton, and the firstsettlers of Knox had to carry on their county business atFulton's county seat, Lewistown.By 1830, however, there were enough legal residents,350, in Knox County to meet the requirements of formalcounty organization. On demand of these early settlers.Circuit Judge Richard M. Young, sitting at Lewistown, issuedan order calling for formal organization of Knox County and

another order calling for an election of county officers.This election was held on July 3, 1830.FIRST SETTLERSThe first settlers of Knox County, as with many othernew Illinois counties of the period, were emigrants fromthe South. The trend of population then was from the southto the north; the movement of newcomers form New Englandand New York State into northern Illinois had not yet started.Until just after the close of the Black Hawk War of 1832most homeseekers who came into Knox county were from Tennessee,Kentucky and Virginia.On their arrival in Knox County, the earliest of thesehomeseekers settled in a wooded region that now is HendersonTownship, just north of where Galesburg was later platted.With a plentiful supply of logs at hand, they soon had asettlement of cabins here that came to be known as Log City.It included not only homes but several stores and taverns.Later, the settlement was called Henderson Grove.The first settlement of the county was made in HendersonGrove in February, 1828, " wrote J. L. Dewey inDewey's County Directory, publi shed at Galesburg in 1868."Messrs. Daniel and Alexander Robertson, Riggs Pennington,Stephen Osborn, Robert and Eaton Nance, The Rev. Jacob Gumand his sons (John B. ,James and Zephaniah), Jane Vaughn,Benjamin Coy, Alexander Franks, Robert Greenwell, ThomasSheldon and Nicholas Voiles . . . all of these were the

first iieads of families who settled m Knox County. Theunmarried emigrants who did not 'keep uouse' were JesseD. Gum, Matthew D. Coy, Helen liilton, Andrew Osborn, TnomasMcKee, Alexander Osborne and James Reynolds." In July, 1829, tlie first marriage ceremonies were performedby Philip Hash, a justice of the peace, the couples beingFielden Hash and Miss Elizabeth Razor and Alexander Osborneand Miss Hendricks. The happy parties were compel letlto obtain the licenses from Lewistown in Fulton County, andall were married upon the same day. In January, 1829, thefirst white child was born, tiie offspring of Zephaniah Gum.and June Gum. On the 9th of January, 1829, the first deathoccurred, that of a young man named Philip Nance, aged 17years . . . His friends were compelled to use the lumber ofan old wagon-box in the construction of a ruae coffin forthe remains. "GENERAL HENRY KNOXAs has already been noted, Knox County was named afterGeneral Henry Knox of the Revolutionary War. A native ofBoston, Massachusetts, where he was born in 1750, HenryKnox early took an interest in military tactics and readmany books on the subject. At the outbreak of the AmericanRevolution he fought at Bunker Hill and later planned anartillery encirclement of Boston which forced the Britishto evacuate that city.For this service, he won the confidence of General

Washington and was made a brigadier-general and placed incharge of the artillery of the Continental Army. Thereafter,General Knox's cannons played important parts in the battlesof Princeton, Brandywine, Germemtown, Monmouth and Yorktown.Later he was placed in commeind at West Point and served asPresident Washington's first Secretary of War. He was alsofounder of the Society of the Cincinnati, an organization ofex-army officers. General Knox died in 1806.OOUmY ORGANIZATIONIn History of Knox County , I I I i no i s published byChas. C. Chapman & Company in 1878, we find these words:" In the spring of 1830, two years after the first whiteman had located m the county of Knox, it was thought therewas a sufficient number of inhabitants to justify an organization.Accordingly a public meeting was held at the storeof Samuel S. White, in Henderson township May 15, 1830. Thisstore stood near the residence of John B. Gum, and in theearly days was known as a tavern, but at present such a placewould comoionly be known as a saloon. The building was aone-story log cabin, about 16 feet square, and contained butone room." [\iggs Penningt ai was chosen chairman and John G. Sanburn,secretary. The original minutes of the meeting are,still extant, and in the possession of Mr. F. G. Sanburn ofKnoxville, who kindly loaned them to us. Among the pioneer"present at this meeting looking foward to the organization ofone of the wealthiest most beautiful counties of the state,

were Riggs Pennington, John G. Sanburn, Squire Philip Hash.Stephen Osborn, Dr. Charles Hansford, Henry Bell, the Rev.Jacob Gum, Nicholas Voiles and John B. Gum." Dr. Hansford, Riggs Pennington and John G. Sanburnwere appointed to draft a petition addressed to the HonorableRichard M. Young, Judge of the Fifth Judicial District,praying for the organization of the county. Another committeewas appointed to present this petition to the Judgeand address him in the interests of the organization. Vhiscommittee was composed of Pennington, Hash, Hansford, i. adOsborn. These gentlemen shortly afterwards proceeded toLewistown, Fulton County; and while the circuit court wasin session, laid their petition before the Judge, who, believingthe county contained 350 inhabitants, the numberrequired by law, and that the majority desired the organization,did, on the 10th day of June, declare, by virtueof the power invested in him, the said county of Knox to beorganized and entitled to the same rights and privileg.-s asthe other counties in the state." This step was soon supplemented by another of equalimportance; for there must necessarily be official heads toconduct the public affairs of the newly organized community.Accordingly, Judge Young issued an order for an electionfor the purpose of choosing three commissioners. This elect"tion was held on the 3rd day in July, 1830, being the firstelection ever held in Knox County. Riggs Pennington, PhilipHash, and Dr. Charles Hansford were elected county commissionerswithout opposition. "

KNOXVILLE BECOMES FIRST COUNTY SEATA few days after that first election, the new countyCommissioner's Court (at that time a county's ruling bodywas called a " court " instead of a " board ") held aspecial session in the log cabin home of John B. Gum atHenderson Grove. The new commissioners were sworn in bySteplien, Osborn, sheriff-elect, and then the court was declaredduly organized for the transaction of business.In addition to appointing John G. Sanburn as countyclerk and John B. Gum as county treasurer (wno liad to givebond in the amount of $500), the new court ordered thatJohn B. Gum's home should serve as a temporary seat ofjustice for Knox County. A year later, it was decided tolocate a permanent county seat at a new town to be plattedjust southeast of the site of future Galesburg and to becalled " Henderson. "This town was duly surveyed and laid out by Parna cOwen, first Knox County surveyor. At a public sale .lots inthe new town of Henderson sold at prices ranging from S2.00to $60.00. A total of twenty-five lots were sold for $1,256.Later in that same year (1831) there was completed at Hendersonthe county's first permanent courthouse, and threeyears later the county had its first jail at the same place.In 1832, however, the name of the county seat town waschanged to Knoxville. The reason for this change was thatHenderson became confused with Henderson Grove, the settle-10

ment established by the county's first residents. With itsnew name, Knoxville remained the seat of Knox County forthe next forty-one years, or until 1873 when Galesburg becamecounty seat.GALESBURG COLONYAfter the close of the Black Hawk War of 1832, aconflict which brought about the permanent removal ofIndians from Illinois, there began a inrush of Easternersinto the Prairie State, most of whom settled in the upperpart of the commonwealth. Although this movement actuallystarted with the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, itwas greatly accelerated when the Indian menace was ended in111 inois .Among the numerous colonization societies formed inEastern states to establish model towns in the new prairiecountry of Illinois, one of the most successful was thatorganized by the Reverend George Washington Gale, a giftedPresbyterian minister of Oneida County, New York. He notonly platted the town of Galesburg, which today is a leadingIllinois agricultural and manufacturing center, but hefounded Knox College, one of the earliest of Americanmanual labor colleges.It was in 1835 that the reverend Mr. Gale conceivedthe idea of a religious community on the western frontier,one that would center on a manual labor college. He feltthat such a community would bring both religion, and ed-11

theucation to a region urgently in need of both. In time heorganized a colonization society at Whitesboro, in OneidaCounty, New York, and raised a fund of $20,000 among somefifty families of the Mohawk Valley.An exploring committee sent out by the society reportedback that the most suitable site for a town was just northwestof Knoxville, seat of Knox County. There followed thepurchase of more than 10,000 acres of land at this site forsome $15,000, the planning of an institution of higherlearning to be called " Prairie College, " and the layingout of a town to be called " Galesburg " after tiie ReverendMr. Gale.Then followed, in 1836-1837 ,movement o f thesociety's families westward to the Illinois prairie country.Some went overland in Conestoga wagons, others journeyedon the Erie Canal, while still others followed the Ohio,Mississippi and Illinois rivers. At first, the familiesoccupied temporary cabins in the early settlement known asLog City, later called Henderson Grove. In the meantime,they went to work building their model town of Galesburg.As circumstances have since shown, the Reverend Mr.Gale' s town was one of the most important factors in thedevelopment of Knox County. Soon Knox and Lombard collegeswere established there, and then came the first railroad in1854 •— another important event in the history of thecounty. Today, Galesburg is an agricultural and manufacturingcity of 31,425 population and the chief trading center12

of a region with an estimated population of 123,000.FOUNDING OF KNOX COLLEGEAs soon as Galesburg was built, work was started onthe manual labor college conceived by the founder of thecolony. It was chartered in 1837 and at first was calledKnox Manual Labor College, but this was later simplified toits present name of Knox College. In addition to the ReversndMr. Gale, its first board of trustees consisted ofJohn Waters, John G. Sanburn, Matthew Chambers, ErastusSwift, Nehemiah H. Losey, George H. Wright, Parnach Owen,and Thomas Simmons.When completed and opened in 1838, Knox College'sfirst building, a crude frame edifice, served not only as acollege hall but as a community preparatory school, churchand town meeting place. It was limited only to male studentswho combined college work with manual labor. In 1870, however,women were admitted to the full college course. Galesburg's other pioneer college, Lombard, was absorbed byKnox in 1930. Today, Knox Collgee has an enrollment of 780students.ASTEEL PLOW INVENTORIf it is still a debatable question among historiansas to who produced the first steel plow in Illinois, yetHarvey Henry May, of Galesburg, remains high on the list of13

those who might be eligible for that honor. It was aslong ago as 1837, when the movement of settlers into theIllinois prairie country was at its peak, that HarveyH. May invented a steel, sel f- scouring plow that was especiallyadapted to turning over tne rough, sticky prairiesod of the Midwest About this time, too, John Deere produceda steel plow at Grand Detour, Illinois, and soonseveral others appeared in different parts of the state.Whether or not Henry H. May invented the first steel plow,his implement certainly played an important part in makingKnox a leading agricultural county of Illinois.LOMBARD COLLEGEAnother institution of higher learning that helped togain for Galesburg the early title of " Athens of the CornBelt " was Lombard College. It was founded by the Universalistsin 1851. After being in existence for eighty years,it was absorbeid by Knox College. Among its one- timestudentswas Eugene Field, the " Children's Poet. " A later graduateof Lombard College is Quincy Wright, leading authorityon international law and autho,r of "A Study of Viar " andother books.FIRST RAILROADOne Sunday in 1854, we are told, Jonathan Blanchard, anearly president of Knox College, carefully put on his blackfrock coat £md walked out to a railroad track that had justbeen laid in Galesburg. On the track stood a new wood-burn-14

ing locomotive with a di amond- shaped smokestack. As theengineer was about to climb into the locomotive cab, PresidentBlanchard stepped forward, and, in a severe, moralNew England tone, commanded that the locomotive be " putup " for the day and not used to profane the holy Sabbath.Whereupon the smoke-begrimed engineer replied: " You can goto hell and mind your own business. I'll take my train outas ordered. "Many local historians point to this incident as beingone of the most significent in the history of Knox County.For It symbolized the end of the strict, moral, religiousatmosphere first brought to Galesburg by the Reverend Mr.Gale and his followers and a later influx of New Englandersand the beginning of a freer, more cosmopolitan, moredemocratic era that came with the arrival of the first railroadand the first industrial plants.It is agreed by all local historians that the coming ofthe railroad to Galesburg in 1854 was of the greatest importancein the development of the city and county. Afterthe railroad arrived, Galesburg quickly evolved into anindustrial and shipping center. In 1850, four years beforethe Central Military Tract Railroad was built through KnoxCounty, Galesburg had a population of 880; two years afterthe road was constructed, Galesburg' s population jumped to4,000.15

It was in 1851 tnat the county's first " steam road,"the Central Military Iract Railroad, was organized atGalesbur^. After George C. Lanphere secured a charter forthe road from the Illinois state legislature, a local subsidyof $300,000 was raised by leading Galesburg citizens,among taem being Chauncey Qjlton, a wealthy merchant. Planningto connect with several other roads wdiich would giveGalesburg direct access to Chicago, the Central MilitaryTract Railroad soon was under construction. It was completedin December, 1854, and at that time Galesburg, and KnoxCounty, welcomed its first railroad train.Two years latier the Central Military Tract Railroad andseveral of its connecting roads were consolidated into tlieChicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad. " The advent of therailroad, " says the Knox County volume of the HistoricalRecords Survey, " brought population and prosperity toGalesburg. Farm products now could be shipped to Chicago andother markets, and conversely the town now became a distributingpoint for merchandise, farm machinery and otherequipment. Knox College and other schools attracted studentsand visitors from all sections of the United States. "Today, Galesburg is the largest division headquartersof the vast Burlington Railroad system. In the road'smachine and repair shops, car factories, icing stations,coal chutes, hump switchyards and tie-treating plant atGalesburg are employed more than 2,300 persons. Anotherrailroad serving Galesburg is the Santa Fe System. In additionto the Lurlington shops, Galesburg now has some sixtyother industrial plants16

EUROPEAN ARRIVALSWhen that Swedish communistic colony, Bishop Hill,located just north of Galesburg in Henry County, began todisintergrate in the 1850' s following the murder of ErikJansson, its founder, many of the colonists moved southwardinto Knox County and became farmers. One who helped in thismovement was the Reverend Jonas Hedstrom, a Methodistclergyman who had emigrated from Sweden and become a residentof the village of Victoria in Knox County." Steady immigration from Sweden followed, " says the.Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois and Knox Count/" The Irish first appeared in force in 1854, as laborers onthe railroad . . . For some time they remained content withthis employment, but, little by little, they began to seekother outlets for their energy, many going to work uponfarms.... The first considerable European accession, however,was the Scotch settlement in the northeastern part of thecounty, chiefly in Copley. "LINCOLN- DOUGLAS DEBATEA unique historical landmark in Knox County is OldMain, most ancient of the buildings on the Galesburg campusof Knox College. It was here, on the raw windy afternoon ofOctober 7, 1858, that Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglasstaged the fifth of their series of seven Great Debates durinfcthe Illinois senatorial campaign of that year. Today,this old Knox College building is the only edifice associatedwith the Great Debates that is still standing.17

18MOTHER BICKERDYKEWith the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, Knox Countysupplied more than its quota of men and money to the Unioncause. Of singular interest, however, was the war work doneby Mary Ann Ball Bickerdyke, otherwise known to fame asMother Bickerdyke. She became a second Florence Nightingale,visiting many Union camps and hospitals in her capacity as anurse. On one occasion, Mother Bickerdyke returned to KnoxCounty and, with tiie assistance of various women's organizations,gathered together 200 cows and 1,000 chickens. Shethen transported these to the Union Army at Memphis. Severalyears after her death in 1901 a statue in her honor waserected on the Knox County Courthouse grounds by tne MotlierBickerdyke Memorial Association.GALESBURG P.ECOMESCOUNTY SEATAs the population of Galesburg expanded rapidly duringand after tlie Civil War, its citizens soon started a movementto have their city designated county seat. But this wasstrongly opposed by the citizens of Knoxvilie. After a" county seat war " of some years standing, however, Galesburgfinally succeeded in becoming the county's seat ofjustice in 1874. It was largely through the efforts of W.Selden Gale, son of the city's founder, that Galesburgobtained this honor.

THIRD COURTHOUSEIn tiie downtown district of Galesburg today standsKnox County's third courthouse. It was completed in 1886at a cost of $156,261. Situated at one end of the city'stree- shaded Public Square, the Knox County Courtnouse is athree-story stone edifice surmounted by a corner clocktower; in general it follows the Gothic style of architecture.When Galesburp first became county seat in 1873and until the completion of the present courtnouse, thecounty maintained temporary headquarters in the GalesburgOpera House.CARL SANDBURG BIRTHPLACEJust twenty years after Abraham Lincoln engaged inone of his Great Debates with Senator Stephen A. Douglason the campus of Knox College in Galesburg, there was bornin a modest workman's cottage not far from the collegecampus a baby boy wliose name was entered in the countybirth records as Carl Sandburg. Today, as almost all ofAmerica knows, Carl Sandburg is one of this country'sforemost poets and perhaps its greatest autnority on thelife of Abraham Lincoln.In consequence of Carl Sandburg's present widespreadfame as the author of a monumental six-volume biography ofLincoln and many other books in both prose and poetry, theplain little Galesburg cottage in waich he was born onJanurary 6, 1878, has now become a literary shrine. At tne19

time of his birth here Carl Sandburg's father, a Swedishimmigrant who never learned to write English, was employedas a blacksmith in the smoky Chicago, Burlington & QuincyRailroad shops at Galesburg.It was mainly through the efforts of Mrs. Adda George,a former Galesburg school teacher, that the Sandburg birthplace,located at 311 East Third Street, was set aside as aliterary landmark, restored, and opened to the public asa Sandburg and Lincoln museum. The cottage is now owned andmaintained by the Carl Sandburg Association, organized, byMrs. George and composed of Marshall Field III, Adlai E.Stevenson, Professor Quincy Wright and other prominentAmericansof today.COUNTY HISTORIC LANDMARKSIn addition to the Carl Sandburg birthplace and theKnox College building associated with a Lincoln-Douglasdebate, the county has several other historic landmarks,most of them located in Knoxville, the county's first seatof justice. Here may be found the Old Courthouse, Hall ofRecords and Jail, all dating from the mid-nineteenth century.These landmarks, during the 1930' s when PresidentFranklin D- Roosevelt was in office, were drawn to scale,photographed and recorded by staff architects of the northernIllinois unit of the Historic American Buildings Surveyunder the direction of Mr. Earl H. Reed, a prominent Chicago20

architect. When this work was completed, copies of tnedrawings and photographs were placed in the permanentkeeping of tne Library of Congress and the Burnham ArchitecturalLibrary in the Art Institute at Chicago."WHO'S WHO"IN KNOX COUNTYIn the latest edition (1955) of that standard referencework , W/io ' s Who in America, we find included the names ofthirteen Knox County residents who have won national reputationsin their respective fields. Most of them are educatorson the faculty of Knox College. The list is headedby Sharvey G. Umbecit, who has been president of Knox Collegesince 1949. Here, also, is Professor Charles H. Peake,college dean, and two outstanding professors of history,,Hermann R. Muelder and Alfred W. Newcombe.Other faculty members in Who's Who in America areProfessor Charles J. Adamec of the classics department,Professor Arthur C. Walton of the biology department.Professor Procter F. Sherwin of the English department,Professor Merritt H. Moore of the philosophy department,Professor Clarence L Furrow of the biology departmentand Professor Ira E. Neifert of the chemistry department.Listed, also, are three Knox County residents notconnected with the college. These are Rebecca L. Lowrie,publishing editor, writer and special contributor to theSaturday Review of Literature; Harold F. Nichols, presidentof the First Galesburg National Bank & Trust Company; and21

Louis Nielson, vice-president and director of the BeatriceFoods Company of Chicago and chairman of the board of theFirst Galesburg National Bank & Trust Company.KNOX COUNTY TODAYOn the basis of the latest United States census figures,Knox County in 1950 had a total population of 54,366, whichplaced it 458th in population rank amoung the 3,103 countiesof the United States. This was an increase of 4.0 per centover its 1940 population. Its principal city and county seat,Galesburg, had a population of 31,425 an increase of8.8 per cent over the city's 1940 figure.Occupying a land area of 728 square miles, the county'density of population was 75 inhabitants per square mile.

512THE ILLINOIS STATE FLAG

513STATE FLAG OF ILLINOISXllinuis' State Flag was officially adopted on July 6, 19H, after a vigorouscampaign by Mrs. Ella Park Lawrence, State Regent of the Daughters of the AmericanRevolution.Early in 1912, Mrs. Lawrence began visiting local D. A. R. chapters throughoutIllinois seeking cooperation in promoting selection of an official State banner toplace in the Continental Memorial flail in Washington, D. C. In 191 3, Mrs.Lawrence offered a prize of $2^.00 to the Illinois D. A. R. chapter submitting thebest design for the banner. She also wrote to members of the General Assemblyseeking their cooperation.Four judges were then selected to choose the winning design. Thirty-fivedesigns were submitted and the Rockford Chapter entry was chosen as Illinois'future emblem.State Senator Raymond D. Meeker introduced the bfll which was to legalizethe flag. After passage in the Senate it was pushed through the House of Representatives,despite an overcrowded calendar.The measure automatically became a law July 6, 191 S, when the Governorfailed to affix his signature to the bill.The first official flag, made in Washington, D. C, was three by five feet insize, of white silk. Flags were given by Mrs. Lawrence to Secretary of State;.Daughters of the American Revolution in Illinois; National Society Daughters ofthe American Revolution in Ilhnois; National Society Daughters of the AmericanRevolution (to hang in Memorial Continental Hall, Washington, D. C); RebeccaParke Chapter, Calesburg and the Illinois State Historical Society.Visitors to Springfield cannot fail to notice the State Banner flanking theStars and Stripes in the Rotunda at the State House. In the same juxtaposition itappears in the office of the Secretary of State. It is flown on ceremonial days bynumerous patriotic bodies throughout the State. For officials and the pubUc alikeit starids as a reminder of our greatness as a State and our pride in our membershipin the United States of America.
