TTT'HEN I undertook to write the History of the * ' Rock River Conference, which was published in 1886, the plan was, in the proper place, to give a full sketch of the workers as they appeared on the scene. But when the work was ready for the printer, (M S it was found impossible to crowd all the matter into one volume. The best thing that could be done r-i was to take out the "Lives" of the actors. Ever 2; since that work was published, I have been waiting ~3 the time when this volume could be published. A full account of several chief actors in Rock River g history is given in the volume already published, g and will not be repeated here. If the reader wishes to read some quite interesting sketches, he will find in the History lives of Dr. Dempster, the founder- ^ of Biblical schools; W. M. D. Ryan, and others. o' In a third volume, the author will try and gather ^ up all that have been left out. INDEX. Large CAPITALS are Ministers; small capitals are Laymen. PAGE.

TIFFANY, 351 Worthies and Workers OF THE ROCK RIVER CONFERENCE. CHICAGO. If the reader will look upon a map, he will see that Lake Michigan lies iu a position almost north and south, sixty miles wide and three hundred miles long. About lifty miles north of Chicago, near the Wisconsin line, a sluggish stream, a mere ditch, about five rods wide, takes its origin, and flows nearly south on a line with the lake, keeping nearly ten miles from it. This is the Des Plaines River. At its beginning it is perhaps thirty feet above the level of the lake; but on reaching a point southwest of Chicago it falls to a level with the lake. The Chicago River sends its south branch away in a southwest course towards the Des Plaines. The two streams, in the locality just named, are mere sluggish ponds. The land for ten miles west of the city lies only five to eight feet above the sluggish waters. The south branch of the Chicago River ends in sloughs and marshes, that in times of ordi- nary water connect it with the Des Plaines. The waters from many of these marshes part and run both to the Gulf of Mexico and to the Gulf of St. 2 9 10 Worthies and Workers. Lawrence. Ofteu, at times when the Des Plaines is choked with ice, the floods pour over through the Chicago River, and create great havoc. One of these overflows, in 1849, swept the shipping from the har- bor. The lakelets along this course have been used for over two hundred years as passage-ways for the boats of alternating prospectors. At all times of the year, except winter, there was a free route for heavily-laden canoes from Lake Michigan on into the Illinois River and down to the Mississippi. To this circumstance we owe the early fur-trading French and Indian village, and the beginning of the present great city. It was the mania for fur- trading that planted the first colony, and the sug- gestion of a connecting canal that founded the city. It was this marshy passage that made Chicago the great entrepot between the north and the south from the ages before Columbus until it was made insignificant by the network of modern railways, that have made the canal nearly obsolete, or at best a great sewer, to carry away the sewerage of the city. The towns of Kaskaskia and Cahokia, in Illi- nois, were founded over two hundred years ago by French priests and adventurers, who found their way from Canada around the lakes, down this pas- sage from the Chicago River to the Des Plaines, and into the Mississippi. In the notes of these early voyagers there are accounts of the river, of In- dians, and of the country. The name Chicago is found in the earliest records. In an old document, dating in the French occupation days, now in the Chicago. 11 archives of France, a chief, Chicaugo by name, is mentioned. Chegaug is the Indian name both for skunli and a wild onion. So that, from the earliest day, the traveler has had his choice of naming the place Skunktown or Oniontown, either one of which is full as savory as the earliest settlers of the place. It is proper to say, however, that a few years ago a document was found deeding a tract of country in Northern Illinois, wherein Chicago River is spoken of as Onion River, and that probably gives us the true origin of the name. In looking over the annals of two hundred years we find frequent mention of voyagers who tarried for a time on the banks of Chicago River; but it is best for the purposes of these pages to begin at a point so tangible that history may drive its stakes to remain. The history and influence of the American fur- trade needs to be written. Two impulses served to settle the great West. The fur-trade from 1800 till 1840 opened up the States of the Northwest and Oregon. Gold and silver mines took up the work in 1849, and from that day they have been the al- luring motives that have made the valleys and the mountains of the Western States teem with human life. And it may be said, in an aside, that some of the great families — notably the Astors of New York, and the Kinzies of Chicago—derived their foundation from the fur-trade. In 1804 the Government built a fort at the mouth of the Chicago River. In 1812, when Gen- eral Hull surrendered to the British at Detroit, he 12 Worthies and Workers. sent an order to Captain Heald, commanding at Fort Dearborn, to evacuate the post and to march his company to Fort Wayne. In obeying these orders, Captain Heald set out with his command in August, 1812. When one and a half miles on his way, along the lake-shore, the Indians, who were under British influence, closed in upon the band and killed or scattered them.

After a considerable lapse of time, he returned the ma- terial placed in his hands and declined to go any farther. In the meantime the journals of Bishop Asbury were of a published ; and as they partly served the purpose memoir, none was prepared.

  • Memorials of Methodism in the Bounds of the Rock River Conference
    : Memorials of Methodism IN THE BOUNDS OF THE ROCK RIVER CONFERENCE. BY REV. A. D. FIELD, OF THE ROCK RIVER CONFERENCE. « « CINCINNATI PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR BY CRANSTON & STOWE. 1888. Copyright BY A. D. FIELD, 1886. PREFACE. THE writer of these veracious sketches came to Illinois with his father's family, and settled in Chicago, in June, 1835. In 1839 he became ac- quainted with Methodism and Methodist preachers. Circumstances connected with the residence of family relations led him to the acquaintance with Methodist workings in many parts of the Rock River Conference from the date mentioned above. Being four years a member of Clark Street Church, and having been now (1886) over thirty-seven years a member of the Rock River Conference, there are few who have a better knowledge of the men and times than the writer. Being at the dedication of Canal Street Church in Chicago, in 1843, we took the first notes refer- ring to Western Methodism; and about 1850 we fully determined to write such a work as we now give the reader. Ever since we have been gather- ing, as we could, items for such sketches. We have received information from many sources concerning most events, and it is wonderful how much those who took part in the events differ in statements. 4 PREFACE. Out of these contradictions we have been able, in most instances, to arrive at the truth, and we think the sketches are generally correct. We append a few words of request and of ex- planation. 1. This work has been hurried through the press, under financial difficulties to be sure, if pos- sible, to get it into the hands of the few remaining early members before they are gone.

  • The History of First United Methodist Church Woodstock, Illinois 1850 – 2021
    THE HISTORY OF FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH WOODSTOCK, ILLINOIS 1850 – 2021 The First United Methodist Church of Woodstock is more than a building and the people who presently occupy it. Its foundations are anchored in the bedrock of theological beliefs that can be traced back for centuries. The events and lives of those who have come before us are the brick and mortar from which the walls are built. It is important to take time and remember the history of our church. Early History Although the official history of the First United Methodist Church of Woodstock begins in 1850 with the organization of the Woodstock Methodist Episcopal Society, it is important to look at some of the events that preceded this event. In 1829, Jesse Walker was appointed by the Rock River Conference to be the circuit rider in the Fox River Mission Territory. He first served as a minister among the Native Americans in the Fox Valley and later to people from the East who chose to live in this area. Small settlements began to form and in 1835, McHenry County was organized. The first religious organization was thought to have been formed at the home of Uriah Cottle, a Methodist leader and the first man to enter a claim in Dorr Township. His log cabin was located in Virginia Settlement, which is now Ridgefield. It was at this cabin that Reverend William Royal, an itinerant Methodist minister, preached the first sermon in McHenry County in the summer of 1835. In 1838 the Rockford Circuit was formed. Two preachers, Leander Walker and Nathaniel Jewett, covered this territory, which stretched from Beloit to Rockford to Marengo and as far east as McHenry.

  • Book Reviews Robert Watson Sledge, Hands on the Ark: the Strugglefor Change in the Methodist Episcopal Church} South} 1914-1939
    Book Reviews Robert Watson Sledge, Hands on the Ark: The Strugglefor Change in the Methodist Episcopal Church} South} 1914-1939. Lake Junaluska, N.C.: Commission on Archives and History, United Methodist Church, 1975.264 pp., paperback, $5.95; cloth, $8.95. On the eve of the long anticipated General Conference of 1918, Theo. F. Brewer warned his fellow members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South: "Hands off, brethrenl Don't touch the ark, or try to turn over the cart. Remember Uzziah [sic], O'Kelley, and many others whose bones lie bleaching along the way." With this image Robert Watson Sledge leads us through the final, significant quarter century of the life of the M. E. Church, South, culminating in the 1939 union with the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Protestant Church to form The Methodist Church. For this study Sledge has received the 1972 Jesse Lee Prize awarded by the Commission on Archives and History of the United Methodist Church. The focus of this denominational history is on "the development of a major reform movement within the denomination and the conservative countermovement it induced. At the end of World War I conservatives dominated the life of the M. E. Church, South, but by 1930 control had shifted to more progressive forces. At the beginning of this period a series of issues tended to divide the denomination into two camps, conservatives (sometimes dubbed "fundamentalists," "mossbacks," or "reactionaries") versus progressives (alternately called "modernists" or "liberals"). Fairly consistently conservatives supported "the Church" against "the University" in the struggle for control of Vanderbilt University; agreed with the Bishops versus the Board of Missions in the turmoil over authority on the mission field; repudiated the strategies of the Movement for Revision for democratizing the Church; stood staunchly for a literalistic understanding of Scripture; and, opposed unification with the Northern Methodists.

  • Holston Methodism
    HOLSTON METHODISM. (0 THOMAS WILKERSON HOLSTON METHODISE FROM ITS ORIGIN TO THE PRESENT TIME. By R. N. PRICE. VOLUME II. From the Year 1804 to the Year 1824. Nashville, Tenn., Dallas, Tex.: Publishing House of the M. E. Church, South. Smith & Lamar, Agents. 1906. Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1906, By R. N. Price, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PREFACE. By the favor and energy of the Holston preachers three thousand copies of Volume I. of "Holston Methodism" have been sold. Volume I. has paved the way for Volume II. The latter has over the former the merit of bringing the his- tory nearer to our times. The annals proper of this volume do not come further this way than 1824; but the volume is largely biographical, and many of the men sketched died in our times—instance, Samuel B. Harwell, who 'died in 1874. These sketches, therefore, make this volume somewhat modern. I had hoped to get into this volume the sketches of String- field, Fulton, S. Patton, and Sevier ; but these must be de- ferred to Volume III. The sketches of these men necessarily introduce the subject of the rise and progress of the higher education in Holston, and notices of the controversies which agitated our people in the past—namely, the Arian, the Radi- cal, and the Calvinistic controversies. This fact will make Volume III. the most important and interesting of the series. Whether Volume III. shall ever see the light depends on whether the sale of Volume II.

The manuscript Journal of the old Western Conference is the property of the Ohio Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has, for the past number of years, been deposited in the Library of Ohio Wesleyan Univer- sity. The Journal of the Western Conference covers nine- ty-seven pages of the manuscript volume, while the latter part of the volume is given over to the Journals of the Ohio Conference from 1812 to 1826, inclusive. None of these Journals have before been published. Unfortunately Methodism has not been careful of her historical docu- ments, and it is hoped that the appearance of this docu- ment may encourage the publication of others. In many respects the Journal of the Western Confer- ence is the most important historical document relating to the establishment of Methodism in the Mississippi Valley.
