Carroll sentenced to 65 years By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Circuit Judge Eric Pistorius sentenced Roger Carroll, 54, to serve 65 years in prison Thursday for the first-degree murder of Bonnie Woodward, which he was found guilty of in March, following a jury trial. Pistorius said the court took into account the lack of a criminal history, but also took into account the actions he was found guilty of months prior and the impact those actions had on the family and friends of Bonnie Woodward. “This was not a random act of violence,” Pistorius said. “…This was meticulous planning.”

Carroll was accused of and subsequently charged and convicted in relation to luring Bonnie Woodward to his car outside of Eunice Smith Nursing Home in Alton on June 25, 2010. Throughout the trial, the prosecution asserted that he then took Woodward to his property in rural Jersey County and shot Woodward several times with a Stoeger Cougar 9mm pistol. Carroll was then said to have burned Woodward’s body over a series of several days. Pistorius went on to address the motive the prosecution laid out in the trial: that he committed these actions because of Heather Woodward’s portrayal of her step-mother, Bonnie. The judge said this was done,

ROGER CARROLL from what was gleaned from the trial, “all because a teenage girl said her mom was mean to her.” He said if there was abuse, “there are 1,000 steps to be taken” and none were taken in this case. Ahead of the sentencing,

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal It had been a dream of Kayla Alexander’s for some time now. “I have been dying to go out west and help with the wildfires ever since I started getting into prescribed fires,” Alexander said. Alexander, who works as the natural resource coordinator at Pere Marquette State Park, has been in nature conservation for a few years now. In this short time, she involved herself in prescribed fires in Illinois and Missouri in 2018 and 2019. Prescribed fires are used as a management tool to burn out invasive species like honey suckle safely. She then started taking on leadership roles in these burns, garnering enough experience to where she was made a burn boss in Illinois, meaning she can write a burn plan and oversee burns. She was inspired to take her knowledge elsewhere, though, where it could be put to good use — namely fighting wildfires out west. “I just wanted to help people,” she said. “That is something I have experience in, I have training in and I have a knowledge base in. It is something I can do that I know that I can help with.” So, when an opportunity arose to go out west and help out, she was sure to take it. She was put on a list earlier this year, waiting for a job assignment. And after some time of waiting, she got her chance. She was called out to Springfield to join up with the Illinois inter-agency wildfire crew to Colorado, near Grand Junction, to help combat the Pine Gulch Fire in August. It was serendipitous when she found out. “It was funny because I needed a new pair of burning shoes. You have to have a special kind of shoes (with fires),” Alexander said. So, she ordered some online, and after what seemed like eternity in mail limbo, they made it to her — just in the nick of time. “Two minutes after I put them on, I got the call saying we got a job duty assignment. Meet in Springfield tomorrow,” Alexander said. “So, I didn’t get to break them in, but I am glad I had them.” After meeting up with her crew in Illinois, she headed off to Colorado in what would be a two-day drive, and then made base camp at the fairgrounds in small-town De Beque. The next day, her and her crew were given their assignment for the day and headed out into the bush. The sight was almost post-apocalyptic.

"I am going to help them as much as I can. I am going to work my butt off every day."

Kayla Alexander Natural resource coordinator at Pere Marquette State Park Alexander’s team was a part of a mop shot crew. There are mop shot crews and hot shot crews. Hot shot crews are type-1 firefighters that get to do all of the critical firefighting — “the more intense stuff,” Alexander said. Mop shot crews are hand crews that tasked with cold trailing, which is checking for hot spots and putting them out, and creating lines around properties, which are essentially burn breaks to stop the wildfire spread. Although not as “intense,” her role and those of her crew members still required focus and great attention to their surroundings. “The relative humidity out there was like 4 percent, so the probability of things catching on fire was almost 100 percent,” Alexander said. “So, it would take just a little gust of wind for something that wasn’t necessarily all the way put out to send a spark over the line, and it could catch somebody’s house on fire, or it could get into an area that was uncontained.” Even fire fighting efforts could ignite a spot fire in the area. “It was actually kind of crazy,” Alexander said. “We would be cold-trialing and a helicopter would be flying in, and they would have these buckets that collect beaver damn water, and the air from the helicopter caused a spot fire, so we would have to stop everything we were doing and go put out this spot fire.” It wasn’t only fires they needed to keep an eye on. “One day, we were cold trailing, and we just heard

all of these trees falling around us, because the heat had broken down their tensile strength, and they were just falling, so you have to be aware of that. You have to be aware of spot fires. You have to be aware of the weather.” They needed to be cognizant of most everything under the sun. Alexander shared that in one instance, she was told a landowner’s son-in-law was unloading a gun among this heat, and the gun discharged in his face. The work also required a physical adjustment. “We are flatlanders here. We were at 7,000 feet elevation,” Alexander said. “You would have to carry all of this stuff up this mountain and be cognizant of everything going around you.” For Alexander, the work was worth it, though. She noted the gratitude from landowners was reason enough to continue on with a smile. (See, WILDFIRES, A2)

Jerseyville residents worried over low-income development By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal erseyville residents expressed concerns to the Jerseyville City Council Tuesday regarding the low-income development that was announced earlier in the week. It was announced that with plans to break ground in Spring 2021, Jerseyville will soon offer another 50 units to individuals and families in need of affordable home options. Construction of the new Diamond Apartments of Jerseyville will soon be underway on the city’s south end, just west of Route 109 and Magnolia Lane, between Commerce Boulevard and Bluebird Lane. The new units are anticipated to be ready for occupancy by Summer 2022. Residents where the development is set to break ground spoke up during the public comment section of the city council meeting. Partnering to bring this development to Jerseyville are 3 Diamond Development, Regional Housing Development and Emerald Development, LLC, along with a pending investing partner. Morrissey Construction Company of Godfrey is the project’s general contractor, and Ludwig and Company will provide property management services once occupancy activities begin.

into account his age and his lack of a criminal history up until the actions which he was found guilty of. The prosecution asked the judge to add an additional eight years for every year he was free since the time of the murder to whatever sentence was carried out. Special Prosecutor Crystal Uhe said the statements read out by family members showed the scope of Carroll’s impact on the community. “She was a mother. She was a friend. She was a sister. She was a daughter,” Uhe said. She said that was evidenced by the letters from Woodward’s family that were read aloud during the sentencing hearing.

“There was ash just the size of my palm falling. It was crazy,” Alexander said. “Red everywhere. Ash everywhere.” The sight was awe-inspiring. Flames would reach 300 feet in height. These wildfires even impacted the weather in the area, including inciting storms and fire tornadoes. “These gigantic fires make their own atmospheric conditions almost,” she said. “They create their own weather systems.”

Carroll spoke for the first time during the duration of the trial — a decision he said he made under the advisement of his counsel and one he said was a mistake. During his statement, Carroll maintained his innocence, arguing he had nothing to apologize for as he had not done anything. Further, he went on to argue that the trial wasn’t fair. “You know I didn’t get a fair trail,” Carroll said to Pistorious. “…You made sure I did not get a fair trial.” Carroll said he would appeal his conviction. At the start of the hearing, the defense called for a minimum sentence of 45 years, asking for the judge to take

HAS BEGUN!

Work is underway Tuesday to start on clearing trees for the Delhi Bypass behind Whiskey Creek in Delhi. It has been in the works for a long time. Tree work had long been delayed due to protected bat populations, which use the trees for shelter in the summer months. Work has begun, but everything should be kept open to two-way traffic for the vast majority of the job. The bypass, which will eventually allow traffic on 67/255 to bypass Delhi entirely, is one stage of the larger highway expansion project, which is anticipated to alleviate traffic in Jerseyville as well as boost infrastructure in the region. Eventually, a bypass around Jerseyville is slated to be constructed, as the freeway continues its construction northward.

was among 21 affordable housing developments awarded a piece of the $26 million in funding from the annual Federal LIHTC program awarded through the Illinois Housing Development Authority. Specifically, this development was awarded an annual allocation of $1,142,000 in 9 percent low income housing tax credits. Ryan Morrissey, vice president at Morrissey Construction, said, “This project would not be feasible without the tax credits, as they make up about 70 percent of the total funding. It’s also worth noting that Jerseyville was one of only two applications approved in Southern Illinois.” Developers plan to use the tax credit to help build six two-story, garden-style buildings and one single-story duplex structure on site, as well as a community building. The development will consist of four one-bedroom units, 20 two-bedroom units and 26 three-bedroom units. The garden-style buildings will have a central breezeway providing access to each second story, and a small balcony or patio for each unit. A one-story community building will be located at the northwestern edge of the site, providing further gathering and workspace options for tenants along with office space for property managers. Onsite amenities will also include bike racks and ample parking, as well as ADA-compliant accessibility built in throughout the site and its units. (See, DEVELOPMENT, A2)

Development (Continued from A1) It was said in a news release regarding the announcement that local area residents might recognize a similarity to the nearby Brookshire Estates apartment complex once construction is complete. The Jerseyville Economic Development Council (JEDC) Partners in Progress initiative helped with the IHDA application process, providing information for the narrative related to Jerseyville area’s demographics and economy that clearly outlined the region’s need for more workforce housing options. Resident Beth McGlasson questioned the city’s involvement in and knowledge of the project. “Do you know how many adjacent landowners will be affected by the low-income housing project,” McGlasson asked. The council nor the mayor were able to answer her question, but the mayor noted he would get back with her on that question. “It is a development company.” Jeff Soer, director of Building and Zoning, said. “They were awarded tax credits, so the city has no involvement in it at all. It is a private [sale].” McGlasson noted her disappointment with the development as well. “I just have just got to tell you; we have a lot of landowners out here that are extremely upset about the sale of that property,” McGlasson said. “I understand the need for low income housing, but that housing is being built behind eight elderly residents, who pay between $120,000150,000 for what they thought was going to be where their retirement home was. And now, there is low-income housing directly behind them.” McGlasson said she would be seeking out what legal recourse can be taken to halt the project. “She (the president of the HOA in the area) has a contract that Liberty Bank signed with the HOA Association that runs through 2023 that has specifications of how that land can be used. I am trying to get ahold of a lawyer along with the HOA Association now to see what action can be taken at this point to halt this project.” Meagan McGlasson, Beth’s daughter and a neighbor of what will become a new lowincome housing development in Jerseyville, also expressed unease with the project. “I do support affordable housing,” Meagan said. “I think it is really important that people are able to access quality housing and pursue things like education without bankrupting themselves.” However, she said she had two major issues with the development set to break ground next year: the connection of this project to providing housing for those a part of the Mid-American International Gateway, which was said to bring high quality jobs to the area, and the implementation of low income housing in the area. In the announcement of the low-income development, Russell said it would provide housing for the Mid-America project workforce. “This project will certainly go a long way in establishing homes for our emerging workforce with the Mid-American International Gateway rail-served logistics park development,” Russell, who also serves as president of the JEDC Partners in Progress initiative, said. “Single family housing is a key component in JEDC’s effort to develop the industrial park and recruit young families to choose our area as their

hometown.” Residents will need to be income-qualified to live in the development. Units will be affordable to families with annual incomes between $17,430 for a single person to $57,720 for a family of six. “The income lower cap is $17,430 per person, which is approximately $2,000 less the annual salary of a minimum wage worker in the State of Illinois,” Meagan said. “I don’t understand how quality jobs designed to retain young people are paying less than minimum wage.” Meagan went on to address issues other communities have had with their implementation of low-income housing, and called on those involved in the project to make sure everything is done right. “Many studies talk about scatter site housing as just being a better option,” Meagan said. “Assuming that can’t be done here, assuming everyone has done their due diligence and that wont work, there are ways to make affordable income housing really successful.” Suggestions include extensive application processes, home visits, criminal background checks and income verification. “My concern is that in signing this management out to a company that is not from here, they are not going to take the steps necessary to make sure that this low income housing really marries these people with the community,” Meagan said. Russell stressed the city did not own, sell, or ask for grant money to assist in the project. Their involvement has extended to a support letter for the tax credits. Russell noted the city will have conversations with the development company, though, on the development. “When it comes down to law enforcement control, yeah, we will have our hands in it,” Russell said. Morrissey said, “The goal is to provide high quality apartment homes for families that are also affordable.” Many green development goals will also be met with this development, including the installation of Energy Star appliances and lighting, as well as 2 x 6 exterior wall construction with stone veneer wainscoting and fiber-cement siding. Within each unit, included appliances will be a stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, ceiling fans, combo microwave/exhaust vent hood, as well as a washer and dryer. Wire shelving and hanging rods will be included in closet spaces where bulk storage is not intended. The new development will also include new concrete roads, parking areas, walkways and ADA-accessible ramping, as well as new landscaping features. There will be a playground and accessible park bench seating adjacent to the community building, two new masonry dumpster enclosures, along with 105 parking spaces onsite, with 7 ADA accessibility-compliant parking spots. Also in the meeting, the council: Q Discussed and accepted a retirement letter from Alan Gowin as public safety officer/fire chief effective Oct. 31.

Wildfires (Continued from A1) “I would hope someone would help me like that,” she said. “So, I am going to help them as much as I can. I am going to work my butt off every day.” Her team was tasked more specifically with helping to protect homes and property, big and small, from the fire that was ravaging a chunk of Colorado’s wildlands. They would be protecting everything from an outhouse to a sawmill or a multimillion dollar mansion. When she was not working, she would be connecting with her crew, which eventually became a family for her. She noted it was inspiring working as part of such a well-oiled machine. Looking beyond just her Illinois crew, she was one of more than 1,000 that fought hard to quell the fire. Alexander said that they camped in the woods among the surrounding fires albeit in a safe and smart area. Still, for the first few days there were nerves. “It was almost a city,” she said. “There were so many lights from the fire. It kinda made me

nervous. For a few nights, I didn’t sleep well.” Overall, the fire did not scare her, though, because of her experience and knowledge of wildfires. It was a 14-day trip for the area local. Some of the days may have been tough, but when asked if she would do it again, her answer was emphatic: “Absolutely; I wish I could go back out there right now. I would love to go back out there and help in any way I can.” As far as her takeaway from her experiences: “I came away with a higher appreciation with aerobic exercise and foot care. But to be serious, I guess I came away with a higher understanding of coordination and communication involved, and came away with — I think I want to do more of that in my career.” It has been a week since the Pine Gulch Fire, which was ignited by a lightning strike, was 100 percent contained. It was for a short time, the largest in the state’s history, burning 139,007 acres, before being superseded by Mullen Fire.

Illinois American Water acquires Jerseyville water, wastewater systems By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal The paperwork has been signed, and as of about 1 p.m. Tuesday, the Jerseyville water and sewer systems have now been turned over to Illinois American Water. “We officially signed the contracts with American Water today,” Jerseyville Mayor Bill Russell said. “…We are in the process of wrapping up a few loose ends, but other than that, the City of Jerseyville is no longer in charge of water and sewer.” Russell said there will be contact numbers that residents can still call that will forward them on to the right source. The purchase adds approximately 4,100 water and 3,950 wastewater customers to the company’s southern Illinois service area. The city of Jerseyville voted in favor of the sale in December 2019. The sale drew criticism from some arguing the city and therefore its residents should retain control over how water and wastewater is operated in town. There was especially concern with relinquishing control to a private entity. In August 2020, Illinois American Water began operating the Jerseyville water and wastewater systems on a contract basis until the close of the sale. The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) recently approved the sale for $43.25 million. The sale was completed today. “Our team is proud to play a vital role in the City of Jerseyville,” Illinois American Water President Justin Ladner said. “We’ve committed to significant

investment in the local water and wastewater infrastructure, as well as the construction of a local distribution center. We want to be a key part of the community and its growth.” According to Russell, the sale of the water and wastewater systems to Illinois American Water “allows the city to pay off debt and focus on other priorities.” He went on to say, “The city will also benefit from a local operations center which will support customer service and tax revenue. Additional proceeds from the sale will support longterm infrastructure improvements and our community’s future. This is an exciting time for Jerseyville.” Illinois American Water plans to invest $15 million in the first five years of ownership to upgrade the City of Jerseyville water and wastewater systems, according to a news release. Work will include a new operations center and elevated water tank as well as upgrades to the water treatment plant, wastewater treatment plant and lift stations. Water and sewer mains will also be replaced, and automation will be implemented to improve operational efficiency. “We are excited to partner with the City of Jerseyville and to support the community’s success. We appreciate the city’s trust and confidence in our team,” Karen Cooper, Director of Operations for Illinois American Water, said. Customers will receive an Illinois American Water welcome packet in the mail. This packet includes information about online account management, billing and more.

Foster care organization to launch in Jersey County By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal A new foster care organization will be coming to Jersey County in the next several weeks that will partner with local churches in order to meet its goals. "The Restore Network is a non-profit organization that engages the church to recruit and adopt foster families while advocating for a better foster care system,” Katie Myette, founder and executive director, said. “We engage partner churches through awareness, church presentations and social media campaigns as we try to help people understand the need for people to engage in foster care.” Myette started the Restore Network in 2009 through her home church in Alton after embracing a calling to care for vulnerable children and their families. Myette’s history with vulnerable children and their families finds its origins in her high school years, continuing into college. She spent a summer in Ukraine working with children in orphanages, which was a very illuminating period in her life. “I became aware of the darkness and despair that was there for kids who were in vulnerable places,” Myette explained. “God changed my heart, then I came home and started teaching in a low-income school district.” After Myette began her teaching career at home, she saw vulnerable kids in her own backyard and was subsequently called to dedicate her life to foster care, as

was her husband. “We had no idea what that would look like, but over time we developed good relationships with DCFS and began recruiting and supporting foster families,” Myette said. Jersey County is the sixth county in the state that the Restore Network has launched in. Other counties include Bond, Madison, St. Clair, Monroe and Williamson counties, but soon other counties, such as Macoupin, will be added to that growing number. Though outside of Williamson County this program may seem regionally based, Myette hopes that the Restore Network will find at least one partner church in every Illinois county. “We have to have a committed home church before moving into a home county, so we wait for the right opportunity to present itself,” Myette said. Myette will tell you that not everyone, specifically in the church, feels called to foster, but asserts that every member of a congregation can be involved in some capacity. The Restore Network accomplishes its goal of securing safe homes for kids by recruiting more than enough families who are willing to foster, then aids in equipping those families with training. According to the organization’s website, “Next, we work with agencies to match children with Restore families most likely to help them thrive. Not just the nearest empty beds.” The organization goes further to offer

continued assistance to those foster families through spiritual and tangible support. “Not everyone is called to foster or adopt, but everyone can either volunteer or donate, and when everything comes together to make a difference, it really can change the system,” Myette said. Currently, there are two churches in Jersey County that have agreed to partner with the Restore Network: the First Assembly of God and the Delhi Baptist Church. “We will have our launch party, which is basically a county-based fundraiser, on Oct. 29. It will be virtual, so people will be able to participate online,” Myette noted. “That will be the official county-wide launch date. Then, we will start launching at our churches in November. We’ll launch at Assembly of God on Nov. 8, Delhi Baptist on Nov. 15 and then, though this is outside of the county but nearby, we’ll be launching at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Piasa, though they don’t have a launch date yet." So far, the Restore Network has seen 400 kids placed in Restore Network homes in 2020 and the progress the organization makes continues to advance by leaps and bounds. As the organization continues its preparations for its launch in Jersey County, it continues to work in the hope of opening up opportunities in more counties. As of now, the Restore Network has yet to find a home church in Calhoun, Greene, Pike or Scott counties, but hopes to as they continue in their work.

Clerk calms more vote-by-mail concerns By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Over the past couple of weeks, many Jersey County voters have received a letter from Secretary of State Jesse White’s office alerting them that they have not applied for a vote-by-mail ballot, and they should contact the Jersey County Clerk’s office to complete their application. These letters have been sent to voters throughout Illinois from the Secretary of State’s office. The letters were part of the mandate of SB 1863, the election bill passed by the state legislature in May in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It requires election authorities, such as the Jersey County Clerk, to send an application for a vote-by-mail ballot to every registered voter. The law also stipulates that the Secretary of State shall send, by Sept. 15, 2020, a notice to any voter in Illinois who received an application for a mail ballot but accord-

ing to State Board of Elections records has not yet applied for a mail ballot. Reminder letters will be sent again by the Secretary of State on Oct. 15, 2020. However, the notices do not accurately reflect the current status of vote-by-mail applications County Clerk Pam Warford’s office has received from Jersey County voters. Many voters who have already applied for mail ballots, as well as voters who have no interest in voting by mail, have received these letters. The Illinois Association of County Clerks has been working with the Secretary of State’s Office to adjust the wording of the next letter to better describe voter options. The first batch of Vote by Mail ballots was sent to Jersey County voters who had requested them on Sept. 24. “We will continue to process requests and ballots on a daily basis,” Warford said. Voters can track their mail ballots at www.jerseycountyclerk-il.com, by clicking on Jersey County Voter Resources.

This feature is a resource for anyone to look up their own voter information, or to look up information by address. Voters can find their polling place, obtain a sample ballot for their own precinct, and see the status of their mail ballot. “To those voters who do not want to vote by mail, I assure you that in-person early voting at the County Clerk’s Office and Election Day polling places will be available, as always, to any voters who prefer to utilize those options,” Warford said. She continued, “Voters need to be aware that, if they are mailed a ballot, then wish to vote in person, they must surrender the ballot that was mailed to them. In other words, you only get one ballot – you cannot vote twice!” Voters are encouraged to visit the county clerk's website or call their office with any concerns. “We are happy to answer questions, provide updates, and explain any of our procedures,” Warford said.

We don’t seem so ‘indivisible’ today TO THE EDITOR: As I read the part of the Pledge of Allegiance “One Nation Under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all�, I can’t help but feel the hypocrisy of the true meaning of “indivisible�. The true meaning is “unable to be divided or separated�, but what we have now is a country divided more so than ever before. A cold chill of anger, hate and frustration greet me each morning on every newscast. The question now is not if we will reach 300,000 deaths from Covid-19 but when will we reach it. As for the economy, so many Americans are told they no longer have a job or health insurance and are left to sink into the depths of shame, despair, and hopelessness. It was Aristotle who once said, “As you think so shall you be.� So, whoever

P

iasa Creek begins sligthly east of the small community of Piasa in Macoupin County. It enters Jersey County slightly south of the intersection of Routes 16 and 111 and meanders in a generally southwestern direction before emptying into the Mississippi River near Lockhaven. In the early 1800s, long before Jersey County was carved from Greene County, a young Indian girl named Piasata lived on the banks of the Piasa Creek with her family. We know of her existence thanks to Jim Wilson, who grew up near Delhi. As an adult, Jim settled in the state of Mississippi, but he never forgot his idyllic days in Jersey County. In 1900, he wrote a series of lengthy letters to the editor of Jerseyville’s Daily Democrat. The following is a story based on the content of those letters. Jim’s family settled near Delhi when he was just 3 years old. In those days, hazel patches and scrub bushes far outnumbered homes. By the summer of 1828, two other boys, Sam and Joe, lived near Jim. Every day found the young teens working alongside their fathers, clearing ground, planting and harvesting crops, and building fences. As a reward for their hard work, the youths were allowed to spend every Saturday afternoon however they wished. The trio invariably found their way to nearby Piasa Creek to enjoy a leisurely swim, catch fish or simply enjoy a lazy afternoon. One day in early June, the boys decided to spend their free afternoon following the creek downstream. They set off at a brisk clip, determined to explore new territory, following the old buffalo trail that hugged the bank of the creek. After hiking a few miles further than they had ever

ventured, they rounded a bend and found themselves standing near a wigwam. A dog spotted the boys and immediately raised the alarm. As Jim, Sam and Joe set off on that June afternoon, the possibility of encountering Indians never crossed their minds. They had grown up hearing stories of bloodthirsty Indians who butchered men, women and children, but Native Americans hadn’t lived in or near Jersey County for many years. Standing in front of that wigwam, the teens remembered those terrible stories and fully expected to hear the crack of a rifle or feel a tomahawk rip through their flesh. As the boys turned to run back home, a tall Indian blocked their path. Seeing the boys' terrified expressions, he raised his hand and said in broken English, “No run. Me no hurt. See wigwam. See squaw. See Piasata.� Jim knew what a wigwam and squaw were, but what was a Piasata? Perhaps, he thought, it was some sort of animal the dignified-looking Indian had caught. As the boys neared the opening of the wigwam, an Indian girl about their age stepped out. The blackhaired, black-eyed teen wore a buckskin skirt, leggings and moccasins. Her eyes were quite large, she lacked the typical high cheekbones of many Native Americans, and her complexion was much lighter than her father’s due to her mother’s Spanish heritage. This was Piasata. The girl was was muscular and, like her father, stood as straight as “as a proverbial arrow.� “She was ours from that day onward,� Jim remembered, “And for months afterward, there was a great rivalry between us boys as to which of us should command the greatest share of her attention.� Piasata

CARD

BY BETH MCGLASSON showed the boys moccasins, leggings and other items she had made, as well as her father’s flintlock rifle and war bow and arrows. When Piasata proudly showed them her bow and quiver, her father challenged the boys to an archery contest against his daughter. The three teens had crude bows that they were fairly competent with, so they agreed to the challenge. The Indian cut bark from a tree to make a mark about 6 inches in diameter. He then paced off about 75 yards, turned and began stringing the bow. The boys realizing his intention immediately began signaling that they should move closer to the target. Their insistence earned them a look of disgust from the tall man and “ugh, white boy shan-go-daya,� which they afterwards learned meant coward. The man walked to the spot indicated by the boys, about 40 yards from the target, handed Jim the bow and arrow and said, “shoot heap straight.� Jim did not “shoot heap straight.� Instead he totally missed the tree, as did Sam. Only Joe managed to hit the tree, albeit a good 2 feet below the target. There were six arrows left in the quiver, and it was Piasata’s turn to shoot. She selected three arrows and handed two to her father. She quickly aimed and fired an arrow, which was followed by another quickly aimed and released arrow. Both struck the mark. The Indian teen then walked a full 100 yards from the tree, turned and quickly fired. The arrow missed the mark by a mere 3 inches. It was the first of many defeats the boys would suffer at the hands of Piasata. Next week’s article will share more adventures of Piasata and the trio of teens from Delhi.

Mary Faye Lavey, 85, passed away at 11:30 a.m., Thursday, October 1, 2020 at her residence. She was born on June 16, 1935 in Fidelity to the late Edward and Hazel (Devening) Dunham. Faye grew up, along with her siblings, on the family farm in Fieldon. Faye worked at the International Shoe Factory in Jerseyville for a short while, where she was set up on a blind date with the love of her life, Donald Richard Lavey. The two would marry on December 29, 1954 in Fieldon and together they shared in 46 years of marriage, prior to his death on August 12, 2001. Faye’s primary focus in life was that of a devoted housewife. She excelled at taking care her home and yard and managed her children and the farm with ease. She was active, smart and resilient and no matter what life through her way, love always prevailed. She loved her husband immensely, and even after his passing she never stopped talking about him, not once. Her children and grandchildren were her absolute pride and joy and she cherished the memories she was able to create with them all. She demonstrated a devout faith in the Lord and was raised in the church by her parents and never stopped attending. Her favorite saying was “We will “Pray for the best, but kids, we will take what God sends us” Her church family at Fieldon United Church of Christ truly became an extension of her own family. When she could no longer attend in person, she asked about everyone each week and wanted to know how each family was doing. As her health began to decline and she was no longer able to be the active housewife and caretaker of the home that she had always been, her faith never waivered. She never once complained about no longer being able to do the things she once enjoyed. Led by their hearts and her example, her entire family came together to care for her with the same love and compassion that she had so graciously poured out to them all throughout the years.

Jersey, then and now St. Patrick’s Church, Grafton News items from the pages of Jersey County Journal October 6, 2010 Kent Isringhausen, a city resident, approached the city council during Tuesday night’s meeting to seek a zoning variance for a privacy fence he has installed on his property. Kent Isringhausen, who resides on Hickory Street, told the council that he has spoken to all of his adjoining neighbors as well as his neighbors across the street and that all of them have signed a petition in favor of his request for the variance. The two-day search for a missing woman, which was conducted on the property of Roger Carroll Jr. Wednesday and Thursday on Creek Road in eastern Jersey County, was called off at approximately 3:30 p.m. Thursday, according to Jersey County Sheriff Mark Kallal. Officials from approximately 20 agencies had been searching for the body of Bonnie Woodward, 48, of East Alton, who was last seen on June 25 outside the Eunice Smith Nursing Home in Alton where she was employed. Two years after the remnants of Hurricane Ike caused heavy flooding in the area, county leaders are looking to grab a slice of the federal grant pie that Jersey County was notified as being eligible to receive. According to Jersey County Business Association CEO Alan Gilmore, he knows of two applications that have been sent out. One is a two-part project in Grafton and the other to alleviate flooding problems for Jersey County Grain’s Hardin facility.

The first service in St. Patrick’s Church was celebrated on Dec. 8, 1871, which means that the congregation is just under two months shy of celebrating 149 years in the Grafton community. Built with limestone quarried by those same men who would worship in it, St. Pat’s was born out of a scuffle, keeping in step with the often historically colorful history of the river town. The German and Irish families of early Grafton often quarreled with each other, and when it came to the erection of a church for the Roman Catholic community, the situation was no different. Like oil and water, the Germans largely settled in Upper Grafton, going in the western direction, while the Irish largely inhabited lower Grafton, going toward Alton. When the population grew to the point where a full-time priest could be sustained in the community, the decision was made that the Catholic Graftonians were to have their very own house of worship. But, before the limestone church could be built, there were squabbles to be worked through. Where would the church be built? The Irish, of course, wanted the church to be built in lower Grafton, while the Germans wanted the church on their side of town. Soon enough, a compromise was reached between the townspeople. The structure would be erected in upper Grafton, to the enjoyment of the German party, while the church would be the named for the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick, to the joy of the Irish party. Through the years, the front doors have changed, an awning has been added, the interior floors replaced (to make it more flood-hardy) and more stained glass windows have been installed. But, the structure largely remains the same as it did when it first opened nearly 150 years ago. This new segment of the Jersey County Journal will feature buildings and locations throughout the county that provide us with glimpses into our past and have stood the test of time.

A sketch of St. Patrick’s Church was drawn for the 1872 Atlas of Jersey County, more than likely the earliest image of the church to ever exist. Notice the design of the doors and location of windows. Also observe the steamboat on the river in the background and how the scenery immediately abutting the river has changed through the years.

Is fast food banned, NO. If I am expected to be my brothers keeper, and wear a mask, should I also be slapping cigarettes or cheese burgers out of peoples hands to save their lives? I for one am not afraid of the so called pandemic, throughout this entire event, I have remained mostly mask less and have interacted with over 6000 people both masked and unmasked.

JCHS advanced design students get down to business

By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal Four of Jersey Community High School’s advanced design students, Elizabeth Stidd, Jade Witt, Annie Walker and Morgan Margherio, are launching a business through social media with the help of their teacher, Erica Heitzig. “Today is a really exciting day because they are launching a business,” Heitzig announced via Facebook live on Sept. 25. “They have been my students for three years… they know the machines, they have mastered it, and they have decided they want to be entrepreneurs.” The four young women are using the design tools they’ve been practicing with for the last three years to create designs and sell them through a Facebook group, CTE Class Creations. Their designs, as of now, include customized monogrammed apparel and accessories, vinyl printed apparel and accessories and laser-cut jewelry. In order to keep demand manageable, the students create goods and then list them on Facebook with prices where group members can then claim and purchase them. All transactions are completed through Venmo, a popular and secure money transfer application available on smartphones. There are rules community members must follow in order to participate: all orders must be submitted through the Facebook group, all transactions must be carried out through Venmo, no tryons, no requests for custom orders and no returns. “I mean obviously, if something

is wrong, we want to know about it, because we’re learning, and customer service is a big deal to us,” Heitzig said. “But, all sales are final. You can’t just change your mind like you can at Target.” And for their part, the young women taking the class are enthusiastic about the opportunity to be creative and gain new skills they can apply later in their lives. “I started my freshman year in intro to design, and she (Heitzig) taught us all the basics,” Annie Walker said. “In my second year… she basically taught us how to use all the machines.” “She calls it (the third year of design class) independent design,” Morgan Margherio added. “The third year of our design we basically do all the projects by ourselves. She doesn’t really help us unless we ask for it.” Most of the young women see themselves using their skills in the future either as a main business or as a way to make money on the side, as they enter adulthood. Even if they don’t though, all of them, they say, feel they’ve gained a lot in terms of skill and experience from their design classes. “I love it. I’ve always been a creative person, and it’s always so fun,” Elizabeth Stidd explained. “I’ve definitely learned some time management… and some (skills) transfer to other programs, so you’re like, ‘Oh! I already know how to use that.’ And definitely, money management too, because I can’t just go out and buy all the sweatshirts I want. I have to limit myself and find customers to buy it.” “There’s a lot more to be creative with

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal For nearly 30 years, the question revolving around who murdered Stuart Anthony “Tony” Craigmiles in his home in rural Kampsville has remained a mystery, but thanks to new information, the case is another step closer to being solved. Illinois State Police Special Agent Randall Custer has been working with other ISP Zone 6 staff in Litchfield as well as the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office in the course of the investigation. “The case was moved to cold case status because of the lack of new leads,” Custer said. “Thanks to new credible information from the community, the case has new life.” Craigmiles was found dead in his home by his wife from an apparent gunshot wound to the head during the time of the Great Flood of 1993. He was 27 years old at the time and serving as a correctional officer at the Western Illinois Correctional Facility in Mount Sterling. Before his employment with the IDOC (Illinois Department

and work with (in design classes) than in some other classes. With those, it’s kind of what you see is what you get,” Jade Witt added. Heitzig agreed with their assessments and added some of her own insights. “If you can make something and feel proud of it, obviously that boosts your confidence and makes such a difference in wanting to come to school, just in feeling proud of yourself and making you want to not just achieve just in here, but overall,” she said. Heitzig doesn’t anticipate any of the girls will go through this experience of business building without making some mistakes and maybe even learning some hard lessons. That, she says, is all part of the process of growing and learning. “Obviously we’re going to mistakes. We’re new and we’re human,” she said with a laugh. “The goal is for everything to look store-bought, but we’re going to make a lot of mistakes to get to that point.” The CTE (career and technical education) classes like advanced design and the equipment they use are made possible by Perkins Act funding, which is federal funding designated to improve the quality of technical and career education for secondary and post-secondary students. In order to qualify for maximum funding, the programs must be provided students at different levels of ability, like the intro, advanced and independent levels of design classes. “We have a large school. We have a large department, so we receive a lot of funding,” Heitzig explained. “Here in Jerseyville, we’re thriving.”

of Corrections) facility in Mount Sterling, he was employed as a deputy with the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department. Though no new information regarding the case had emerged since 2009, recent information has compelled investigators to re-examine the Craigmiles case. “I want to stress how important it is for the community to come forth with information,” Custer said. “Also, I want the community to know cold cases remain a priority for the ISP and will be worked utilizing every resource possible.” Because of the Great Flood of ’93, road access was limited around the county, and the only accessible roads to Craigmiles’ north Calhoun residence were country roads. “We always need the cooperation of the community to be successful. Anyone with information is asked to contact ISP Zone 6 Litchfield at 217324-6212 or Two Rivers Crime Stoppers at 800300-2590,” Custer noted. “It has been 27 years since Tony’s death. It is time to bring some closure to the family and community.”

Salvation Army sets out to ‘Rescue Christmas’ following impact of COVID-19

For the first time in 130 years, the Salvation Army is starting its annual holiday fundraising campaign early across the country in order to rescue Christmas. The funds raised through the organization’s iconic red kettles are at risk this year due to COVID-19 while requests for services are at an all-time high. Based on the increase in services already provided in response to the pandemic, the organization could serve up to 155 percent more people in 2020 with Christmas assistance, including putting food on the table, paying bills, providing shelter and helping place gifts under the tree – assuming the resources are available. At the same time, because of the closing of retail stores, consumers carrying less cash and coins, and the decline in foot traffic, The Salvation Army could see up to a 50 percent decrease in funds raised nationally through the red kettles, which would limit their capability to provide services for the most vulnerable. To put this in perspective, last year $126 million was raised nationally through about 30,000 red kettles. The Midland Division that covers Missouri and Southern Illinois raised $3.8 million during the red kettle campaign. “People who were already struggling before the coronavirus pandemic have been hit especially hard. We know at Christmas the need for these families will be greater. The Salvation Army across the country is beginning fundraising with kettles right away. However, The Salvation Army Midland Division will not commence bell ringing until November,” Salvation Army Midland Division Commander Lt. Colonel Bob Webster said.

Since March, the Salvation Army Midland Division has provided more than 120,000 meals, 13,410 nights of safe shelter, and emotional and spiritual support to over 4,087 people in need. Now more than ever, they’re making it safer and simpler to donate in order to support the most vulnerable in Missouri/Southern Illinois: Q The best way to ensure

that these vital services continue is to enlist in Love’s Army with a sustaining monthly gift of $25 per month. Q To help ensure the safety of bell ringers, donors, and partners, the Salvation Army has adopted nationally mandated safety protocols. Q Donate digitally with Apple Pay or Google Pay at any red kettle in Missouri/ Southern Illinois.

Q Ask Amazon Alexa to donate by saying, “Alexa, donate to the Salvation Army,” then specifying the amount. Q Give any amount by texting “KETTLES” to 91999. Q Donate physical gifts in bulk. Q Adopt additional Angels to give hope and joy to kids and families in need through the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program.

Q Every donation provides help and hope to those in need, and all gifts stay within the community in which they are given. Visit RescueChristmas. org to donate or learn more about how you can help the Salvation Army rescue Christmas this year.

Faye Parsell will be celebrating her 100th birthday Oct. 12. Parsell was born and raised in Green Castle, Mo. Parsell married to Harold in Amarillo, Texas, in 1943, while Harold was in service in the Army Air Force.

Local vendors see silver lining in COVID-19 By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal It’s always a sad farewell to summer in the tri-county area as produce stands disappear and the traffic along the river road slows. Pumpkins and mums take the places of peaches and tomatoes as farmers’ markets prepare to shutter for the cold season. Still, this year has been different for both farmers’ markets and virtually every other hallmark of summer as COVID-19 has drastically changed the way we go about our daily lives. According to some, however, not all of those changes have been a bad thing. “The whole idea of the COVID outbreak was that it was going to affect it (our business) negatively, but it’s affected it positively,” Drew Baalman of Baalman produce in Calhoun County said. “We just seem to sell a bit more. I think the people staying home are learning how to cook and use vegetables and things like that.” This was Baalman’s first year manning the business solo after his father, Mark Baalman, fell inside his home, sending him to the hospital and beginning a long recovery process. Another local maker/producer, Katherine Stine of Jersey County, agreed with Baalman’s assessment.

“My sales are up probably 30 percent on my jams, on my pickled beets and things, because people are staying home. It’s a safer place to shop too, because it’s not a confined space,” she said. “It seems like I’m making jam 24/7!” In addition to jams, Stine has also been busy making and selling 250 gallons of sauerkraut, which she’s already sold a lot of. That’s good news for anyone hoping to make a profit on produce, canned goods and other small scale food products during the pandemic. Unlike restaurants or commercial venues, many of the vendors, including Stine, don’t have commercial kitchen licenses, meaning there’s no retail shop or storefront to sell their products. “I have a cottage kitchen license, so I can’t sell commercial,” Stine explained. “All my jams are labeled that way. But you do have to have your food sanitation license.” And, according to Baalman and Stine, the public has been doing their part to keep vendors safe, both locally and further south, like at the Alton Farmers’ and Artisans’ Market where both regularly have booths. “I’d say 80 percent of people wear masks in Jerseyville, and Alton is the same way,” Stine explained. And while a bit has been lost in terms of atmosphere, both Baalman and Stine wanted to stress that the things that

“Sauerkraut Lady” Katherine Stine stands behind her booth of jams, jellies, butters and other canned goods at the Alton Farmers’ and Artisans’ Market Saturday, Sept. 19. Stine is one of many vendors from the tri-county area who dedicates much of the summer months to traveling to local farmers’ markets to sell small-scale goods and produce.

make farmers’ markets special — community, neighborliness, friendliness and fun — were unaffected by the pandemic. “The atmosphere has been affected a little bit in terms of live bands and the crowds and all that [especially in Alton], but as long as people are social distancing and wearing masks, it’s all pretty much the same,” Baalman said. “I think a lot more people are coming to the market because it’s a chance to get out, and it’s relatively safe. It’s a way to get out and see people. It’s just like

a party,” Stine said fondly. “It’s a nice community event.” This year, local groups have been capitalizing on that community aspect, including census takers who have set up booths at the market several times this year. Sept. 29 marked the last week of the market in Jerseyville. According to Stine, it’s a bit of a bittersweet ending to a year when farmers’ markets almost couldn’t happen at all. “I really enjoy it. I enjoy the smiles and seeing them enjoying the things I make,” she said.

Jersey State Bank donates to help restore Susnig Center Jersey State Bank, in partnership with Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, has donated $10,000 to assist in the rehabilitation of Jerseyville’s Susnig Center. The money will be used in unity with the IDNR Park and Recreational Facility Construction (PARC) grant program for improvements at the Susnig Complex, consisting of a new gym floor, new ADA-compliant bleachers and restroom facilities, portable basketball goals and a new roof over the dining hall area of the adjoining Senior Center. In addition, they will be adding retractable batting cage nets to enable the city to offer indoor baseball and softball facilities in the multi-purpose gym area. These improvements will provide increased recreational opportunities for the community for many years into the future. “We hope our donation will help bring awareness to this project and encourage our community to donate as well,” Joni Soer, senior vice president and CFO, said. “We realize the importance of giving back to our community and will continue to do so whenever we have the ability. We hope our donation will create a ripple of positive impact, which will inspire others to do the same.” The city is in need of private financial support to make this project a reality. While the PARC grant offers up to 75

Pritzker announces $140 million in grants to health centers COVID-19 test positivity rate inches up; 2,514 new cases confirmed By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois Federally Qualified Health Centers in Illinois and other health facilities that have been on the front lines in the state’s battle against COVID-19 are in line to receive $140 million in grants to help them maintain operations. Gov. JB Pritzker made that announcement Friday during a news conference at one such clinic, the Howard Brown Health Center in Chicago. “Our state is among the best in class when it comes to fighting COVID-19 because we’ve put people first, and our health care providers have had a key role in making that possible,� Pritzker said. “But for many providers, that work has come at a significant financial cost, from maintaining payroll to spending extra on personal protective equipment, to taking extra precautions in ambulance services for COVID-positive individuals.� “In short, we’re giving direct dollars to our direct responders,� he added. Federally Qualified Health Centers, or FQHCs, have accounted for a large part of the state’s COVID-19 testing program where tests are available free of charge, regardless of a person’s ability to pay or citizenship status. In addition to FQHCs, Pritzker said grants will also go to safety-net hospitals and long-term care facilities. In addition, he said, the state plans to launch a web portal next week to allow smaller health care providers to apply for funding. David Ernesto Munar, president and CEO of Howard Brown Health, said that health center saw a 70 percent drop in its in-person visits due to the stay-athome order that was in place during the early months of the pandemic. And while he said that was necessary to control the spread of the disease, it cut deeply into the clinic’s regular revenue stream, although some of that loss was offset by a state rule that allowed them to bill for telehealth services. Funding for the grants comes from aid the state has received through the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security, or CARES Act, which Congress

passed in March. Theresa Eagleson, director of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, said the delay in disbursing the money was due largely to the need to comply with federal restrictions on how the money is used. She also noted that 60 percent of the money will be targeted in areas that have been disproportionately affected by the coronavirus pandemic. The announcement of the grants came on a day when the Illinois Department of Public Health reported 2,514 new confirmed cases of COVID-19, along with an additional 25 confirmed virus-related deaths over the previous 24 hours. That brought the statewide totals to 283,885 cases and 8,563 deaths since the start of the pandemic. Laboratories reported processing 69,793 tests over the previous 24 hours, which made for a single-day positivity rate of 3.6 percent. The seven-day rolling average positivity rate rose a tenth of a percentage point to 3.6 percent. As of Thursday night, 1,637 people in Illinois were reported hospitalized with COVID-19. Of those, 371 patients were in intensive care units, and 124 of those patients with COVID-19 were on ventilators. IDPH also reported Friday that 17 counties in Illinois are at the warning level for a resurgence of COVID-19 cases, down from 24 counties a week ago. A county enters the warning level when it crosses a threshold in two or more indicators of an increase in disease spread. The counties currently at that level are Bond, Boone, Cass, Christian, Clinton, Crawford, DeWitt, Fayette, Grundy, Hamilton, Macon, Menard, Peoria, Putnam, Washington, Wayne, and Winnebago. Also during the news conference, Pritzker spoke about news that had just broken that a federal judge in California had blocked the Trump administration’s effort to end early the doorto-door head counting for the 2020 U.S. Census. Trump had ordered that the census count end next week, on Sept. 30, but barring any reversal of the decision by a higher court, the head count will continue through Oct. 31. Pritzker urged anyone who hasn’t yet filled out the census to do so online at my2020census.gov. He also took a number of questions regarding the proposed constitutional amendment on the November general election ballot that would allow Illinois to levy a graduated income tax.

Earlier in the day, House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, of Western Springs, and Deputy Leader Tom Demmer, of Dixon, held a virtual news conference accusing the Pritzker administration of threatening a massive tax increase across the board if voters do not approve the amendment. That was based on comments that Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton had made the previous day, but Pritzker said Republicans were taking those comments out of context. Pritzker repeated the argument he has often made that the state of Illinois was suffering from a structural budget deficit, even before the pandemic, and he said there are only a certain number of ways to address that. One, he said, would be to raise the current flat rate by a full percentage point, to 5.9 percent. Another would be to cut state spending by 15 percent across the board, which he said would result in large property tax increases statewide to fund public schools. The third choice, he said, is the proposed amendment that would raise taxes on people earning more than $250,000, about 3 percent of the state’s population, while leaving tax rates the same or cutting them for the other 97 percent. “And the best direction that we should go to deal with this is to make sure that we’re asking those who are most able to step up to pay to do so – those are the wealthiest in our state ‌ and that’s the direction that I think we ought to go. And that’s what the lieutenant governor was talking about.â€?

Jerseyville, Illinois

Jerseyville man charged with communicating with victim By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal A Jerseyville man, who was charged in July on multiple felonies — among them being attempted aggravated criminal sexual assault with a weapon — has been charged with communicating with a witness. According to court records, Brendan Hartley is being charged on counts for allegedly communicating with a witness on Sept. 1 and 15 “with the intent to deter (the witness) from testifying, fully and truthfully� to a matter then pending in the Jersey County Circuit Court involving the

prosecution of Hartley. Jersey State’s Attorney Ben Goetten said Hartley was in custody for sexually assaulting his estranged girlfriend. “While in custody, he made contact with his victim in an effort to get her to drop charges,� he continued. Hartley had been charged on July 17 with attempted aggravated criminal sexual assault with a weapon, intimidation, domestic battery, criminal damage to property and unlawful interference with the reporting of domestic violence among other charges. These charges accuse Hartley of

attempting to make the victim have sexual intercourse with him on July 15, through use of force, by physically restraining her and preventing her from leaving the vehicle she was in and threatening to kill her with a firearm if she did not have sexual intercourse with him. Also, the charges assert that Hartley threatened to knock her unconscious and force her to have sexual intercourse with him. Also while he was displaying a knife, Hartley again demanded that the victim have sexual intercourse with him. The domestic battery charge contends Hartley knowingly caused bodily harm to

the victim, grabbing her by the face, causing small cuts on her lips, and struck her with a closed fist in the arm. The charges accused Hartley of then preventing the victim from then calling 911 by taking her phone and throwing it from the vehicle they were in. The damage to the phone when Hartley allegedly threw it relates to the criminal damage to property charge. The charge of intimidation alleges Hartley threatened to harm the victim, telling her “it would not end pretty.� Hartley’s arraignment has been set for 1 p.m. Oct. 19 in Courtroom A of the Jersey County Courthouse.

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

Jerseyville, Illinois

MARK YOUR CALENDAR/NEWS

County Poor Farm one of few still standing By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal Almshouses, or as they’re more commonly known as, “poorhouses,� have long captivated the attention of residents in Greene, Jersey and Calhoun counties, more notably among the young adult crowd and those who at one time considered themselves young adults. A large percentage of people, it can be assumed, have made the trek once or twice to the famed Greene County poorhouse, its dilapidated condition and storied history captivating the minds of those out for a night of activities that law enforcement and parental authorities often frown upon. Still, this remnant of Illinois history, despite the charge of trespassing, continues to attract interested parties and demand an uneasy terror. This frightening aura, though, comes more so from local folklore and less from the actual historical narrative that validated their existence at one time in our past. In 1839, the same year Jersey County was recognized as an incorporated county in the State of Illinois, a state law was passed that made provision for county commissions and boards throughout the state to authorize the construction and maintenance of almshouses at their own discretion. Ever since 1819, state law mandated to some degree that the more destitute citizens of the county had to be provided for in some way. Given that Nineteenth Century Illinois was an agrarian society, the provision for those considered destitute was rooted in farm labor. Citizens who were paupers, insane, elderly with no living relatives or support system, orphans and even criminals found shelter and sustenance in exchange for working on the county farm. In a special Jersey County Commissioners meeting on Oct. 13, 1845, the commission voted to purchase 166 acres in the county for the sum of $900 to establish a poor farm. By December of that year, it was up and running. The county, through the years, found that larger or more suitable facilities were needed, and thus the county would acquire different properties throughout the 1800s. Around 1868-69, 160 acres were purchased in English Township upon which was erected a large brick house, along with all the necessary outbuildings required for a farm. Even an orchard was planted in front of the house. This building, which served as the third poorhouse, burned in 1887. Another one was built on the same property, which, in Aug. 1921, also burned. The fifth and final poorhouse was constructed not long after, and continued to serve its purpose until 1956, when it closed and was sold to Les Boner, thus turning the farm over into private hands. As the twentieth century wore on, the demographics of poorhouses, also known as county farms, were beginning to shift as society itself experienced major changes. Primarily elderly persons were housed in them. Now, societal advancements have made these county farms for the poor, elderly and mentally disabled obsolete, as newer, and even more humane facilities came to take their place. Still, though the county poor farm system died out in the early progression of post-WWII America, its presence in local history continues to draw interest, espe-

cially around fall, when ghost stories, pumpkin carving and haunted house excursions dominate as social custom. Max Heitzig, a familiar name in the Westwoods near Fieldon, has lived in the former Jersey County poorhouse for 37 years in addition to farming the surrounding ground that was once worked by inmates, as they were known, of the county farm. “I bought the place in 1983,� Max said. “I was looking for a farm at the time, and I got the deal done with the previous owners. They were up in age when I bought it.� Max’s son, Jeff, further elaborated on the home’s history prior to his father’s purchasing the home. “In 1968, George and Mary Clausen bought it. His family had been in the hotel business down in Belleville,� Jeff said. “He came up here as a superintendent of county highways and they bought it and I believe they were going to make it a golf course and bed and breakfast, but they just got too old too fast and couldn’t pull it off. Before them, it was Les Boner who owned it and I believe a Cartwright owned it with him.� Older citizens might recall knowing individuals who at one time either lived in the poorhouse or worked there. Though there are no residents or employees of the poorhouse known to be living who can provide firsthand accounts of their experiences, stories from others in the community exist to help paint a picture of the last years of our county poorhouse. Neighboring farmers were known to hire on residents as farmhands in exchange for a meal and pay. Aside from residents, the county also employed individuals to oversee the farm, as well as individuals to provide help in home keeping and farm work. “I knew of a gal that used to work in the poorhouse in her younger days,� Max said. “Freda Bunse was a Strebel who came out of Strebel Hill northwest of the poor farm about a mile and a half.� Jeff continued where his dad left off concerning Freda Bunse’s employment at the poor farm. “When Mrs. Bunse was there she told us how they did the cooking and cleaning in the house. We even learned there was a little jailhouse on the north side of the house that they’d lock some untrustworthy residents in- maybe people who were sentenced to work off their debt and had to work it off at the poor farm,� Jeff said. “She actually lived there as an employee, not a resident. Part of her pay was room and board.� Max was able to recall Bunse talking about hanging clothes up to dry in the attic, which stretches the whole length of the house. Jeff recalled seeing an old hay rake in the barn that had the words “Frances Pegue 1931� scratched into it. “His folks ran the place back in the ‘30s. They were kind of the overseers for a while,� Jeff explained.� Jeff isn’t afraid to admit that he’s an appreciator of the past, though his siblings might have been more focused on things of a more supernatural perspective. At this time of year, when folks imbibe as much as they can of the Halloween season, it’s natural to mention word of a spook here or there, so in considering this, Max mentioned that indeed he does hear things that are hard to explain away. When you live in a nearly 100 yearold house that consists of 11 ground floor rooms and 12 second floor rooms (includ-

ing 10 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) that’s wrapped in brick and 48 windows, as well as an open attic, one is bound to hear plenty of things that go bump in the night. “In the southwest corner of the second floor, there used to be a kitchen up there and one of my daughters, who slept in a different room, swore she heard men talking at night,� Max said. “I hear all sorts of noises in the house at night.� Today, aside from the home still standing as well as the barn, the only other permanent remnant of the days of the county farm is a cemetery that’s located somewhere not far off from behind the barn. Fifty-six people are reportedly buried in the poor farm cemetery, all in unmarked graves, which wasn’t an uncommon occurrence for poor farms. Between the poor farms of the tri-county area, only the Jersey County poor farm remains in a virtually comparable state as it did when it functioned as a county farm. Greene County’s poorhouse, though still considered a historic structure and location, has not enjoyed maintenance through the years, and Calhoun County’s poor-

house no longer stands. Now, only a monument placed in the cemetery of unmarked graves in Poor Farm Hollow near Calhoun Elementary serves to visually remind the residents of the folks who lived, worked and died in the poor house. Almshouses were a viable solution for the time period, though they weren’t without their human rights violations. In 1907, the Illinois State Board of Charities reported horrors that were observed in almshouses throughout the state, with Jersey County being one of the named culprits. Lack of heating contributed to seven deaths due to pneumonia within the span of a few months. But, an important understanding about society is the possibility of improving it. The legends of the local poor farms will probably always captivate the minds of locals, young and old. Plenty of people have had lots of fun getting a good scare out of their friends when it comes to investigating the stories of haunted folklore around the region. It is worth knowing, though, that the poor farms were important in their own time and are worthy of remembrance.
