Born: Illinois, 1822.
Died: Illinois, 1909.

In 1822, when John Buckles was three weeks old, his parents left White County, Illinois, to find and make a home in that part of central Illinois now known as Logan County. John was the third child, and on this journey was carried in the arms of his mother, who rode on horseback. The distance was about 150 miles as the crow flies. The hardships of such a trip are unknown to most people of this day.

At that time there were only six families living within the present boundaries of Logan County. John's father, Robert Buckles, was a man of iron mold. Without the education of schools, he answered clearly all the questions that pertained to his business and life. At the outbreak of the Black Hawk War he was one of the first to enlist, and bunked with and fought side by side with Abraham Lincoln.

John's mother, Mary ("Polly") Birks Buckles, was one of the uncrowned heroines of history. She was the mother of fifteen children. The family residence was a mud-daubed cabin. In this for many years she did all the cooking before an open fireplace, made all the clothing for her family from the raw materials, and when her husband was absent from home at some distant market, or at war, she would fell the trees and cut the wood for use during the cold winters. It was a new land upon which the Buckles babies first looked out. Small growths of trees skirted the streams of water, and the wide prairies, reaching out in every direction to the horizon, were seas of grass and wild flowers. Wolves howled, foxes stole and wildcats screamed. Great herds of agile deer moved gracefully hither and thither, and countless thousands of wild chickens made the prairies vocal with their thrummings in the early mornings of spring.

And there were ‘coons in those days. Later in his life, John Buckles said: "Well do I remember the winter I captured thirty of these midnight travelers, and the day I received my first money--fifteen dollars in silver--for their hides. It was one of the happiest events of my life." He attended school altogether about one year. The house was made of logs, with the ground for a floor, split logs for seats and the children's knees for desks.

In his early manhood he assisted his father in driving hogs to Racine, Wisconsin, and sheep to St. Louis, Missouri. In his twenty-second year he helped a neighbor drive a herd of cattle to the New York City market, and again in the following year, 1845. It was he who led the largest ox before the drove. The time required for the round trip was 130 days--one hundred in going and thirty in returning. His pay was twelve dollars per calendar month. Such experiences cultivated his inbred industry and thrift, taught him independence of judgment and self-reliance, and developed his sagacity, courage and force.

By commendable methods as farmer and stockman, he accumulated good property and lived a long and useful life. He was an open foe of the organized liquor traffic, a helpful friend of our college and a sincere disciple of our Lord. His life is a heritage to his children and his children's children. He was buried at Steenbergen Cemetery, Mount Pulaski, Logan County, Illinois.

THE HISTORY AND LIFE of JOHN BUCKLES Founder of BUCKLES GROVE - LEROY,ILLINOIS

Presented By
JOHN AARON BUCKLES SR. At Buckles Grove on 14 August 1977

Good afternoon and welcome kinfolks and friends. We are gathered here today to honor our forefather Johh Buckles. For those of you who do not know me, I am John Aaron Buckles Sr., one of the Great Great, Great Grandsons of John Buckles who settled in this grove in 1827. It is a special honor for me to be here and to present what has been reasoned and determined to be the History of the Life of John Buckles. I will begin with what is known about the Buckles family in the year 1594.John's Grandfather was Robert Buckles Sr., who was born about 1702 in Yorkshire, England. He was a Grandson of Sir Christopher or Cuthbert Buckles who died in 1594 while he was Lord Mayor of London. Robert was a son of a wealthy English landlord, but because of the system in England at that time, which gave the entire estate to the eldest son, and since Robert was not the eldest son, he ran away from home and came to America as a stowaway in 1719. He was 17 years old. About 1727, he married Ann Brown in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. She was a Granddaughter of George Brown, who was a member of the
Pennsylvania assembly, and had land in Bucks County. The Browns were Quakers of the Falls Meeting. In 1732 he and his wife came to Berkley County, Virginia with sixteen other families who bought land from the Van Meter grant of Jest Hite. He build a cabin over Rattlesnake Run about three miles southwest of where Shepherds town is now located. He was a member of the Rangers during the French and Indian Wars, and gave patriotic service in the Revolutionary War. He had six known children: James, Mary, Jane, Robert Jr., William and Abraham, father of John Buckles. He died in December 1790 and was buried on his farm in a tiny family cemetery near Shepherds town. In his will he left 400 acres to the sons of his deceased .

LeRoy's history far from humdrum
By NANCY STEELE BROKAW
For The Pantagraph

'Indian in the Park' a gift from eccentric West Town has old ties to Spiritualism.

LeROY -- LeRoy might fool a casual visitor. Driving through the town of 2,200, nothing jumps out as being out of the ordinary. There's an old, traditional downtown, a handful of fast-food restaurants, a small park, old houses in the center of town and newer houses on the fringes. Everything seems ordinarily small town, down-to-earth.

But, throughout its history, LeRoy has been anything but down-to-earth.

From the onset, LeRoy's story is tangled up with perceptions of the spirit world. The LeRoy area was once home to the American Indian tribe of Kickapoo. For hundreds of years, their burial grounds rested relatively undisturbed. But in recent years, the site of their village and burial grounds became a source of controversy when a mega-hog farm threatened to move in.

A LeRoy couple intervened, preserving the gravesites and created a park that has become home to the Kickapoo Nation annual powwow, a chance for the Kickapoo to return to honor the departed spirits of their ancestors.

But the American Indians were not the only LeRoy-area residents concerned with the spirits of their loved ones. The leading citizens in LeRoy's history -- Simeon West and J.T. and E.J. Crumbaugh were Spiritualists (see accompanying stories). They believed, among other things, that it is possible to communicate with the dead through mediums.

Kickapoo heritage: LeRoy's long link with the spiritual word began with the Kickapoo, who once
traveled freely over three-fourths of what is now the state of Illinois.

By the late 1700s, the Kickapoo put roots down a few miles outside of LeRoy. An 1818 map, made the year Illinois became a state, shows this "Grand Village of the Kickapoo." A surveyor in 1824 counted 2,000 to 3,000 Kickapoo and more than 5,000 graves.

According to American Indian historian and LeRoy area resident Don Evans, it's easy to see why the Kickapoo chose this site. Besides buffalo and an ample water supply, the village was near a large grove that "provided the Indians with food, shelter, and most of the things that they considered essential."

By 1832, nearly all of the Kickapoo had been forced out of Illinois, away from their settlements and the burial grounds they consider sacred.

Their Grand Village site passed through several hands. Bill and Doris Emmett bought half the site, unaware of the land's significance. However, as they learned of its history, they became active protectors. At the same time, plans were being made to locate a large hog facility on the north end of the Grand Village site, adjacent to the land owned by the Emmetts. The plans included a sewage treatment lagoon on the Kickapoo burial site.

Land buy: The Emmetts purchased this additional acreage in 1997. In their words, "Everything surrounding our being on this land convinced us (we) were being guided by a Greater Power." The Emmetts now own 270 acres in the heart of the original village.

They have dedicated more than 2 acres as a park to memorialize the Grand Village. The Emmetts have helped establish a foundation to enhance the park. Already, the park has 40 head of buffalo, the beginnings of a prairie and a commemorative marker.

Last May, the third annual Grand Village of the Kickapoo Nation Powwow took place on the site. It was co-sponsored by the Emmetts, the Grand Village board of directors, and Midwest SOARRING, an organization dedicated to preserving Indian culture and burial sites.

In 1998, the event drew about 500 members of the tribe and more than 6,000 visitors in two days.

The powwows represent the first unified gatherings of the Kickapoo since they fled across the Mississippi in 1832.

Patricia Gonzales, a Kickapoo woman, visited the Grand Village site. Later, she wrote of her experience: "Buried here, our ancestors made this earth sacred ground. Dying, they became the earth. ... The fact that I am here with them hums through my bones. The elders say that the old ones have prayed us all back; that's why, after at least 165 years, the Kikapua are returning."

By the early 1800s, the European settlers were moving in to claim the land.

(Among the early homesteaders was John Buckles, father of 13 children. He established a tannery and soon a settlement sprang up along Buckle's Grove. This attracted the attention of Gen. Asahel Gridley and Merritt Covell. They surveyed the land, purchased 80 nearby acres and laid out the town of
LeRoy.) The name came from a town in New York and later there was a bit of a flap over whether or not to capitalize the "R."

According to Flegel: "very soon after LeRoy had been laid out the whole town was circled by a racetrack. Horsemen came from Bloomington and other nearby towns. There was much betting and much excitement."

Later came chautauquas and the LeRoy fair, which Flegel said were considered among the best in the state. Bands often played summer concerts in the park pavilion.

A register from the old Keenan House Hotel in downtown LeRoy contains the signature of Thomas A. Edison. LeRoy library archival material indicates he was probably passing through on his way back from the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Edison, most likely, traveled by train. LeRoy depended on the
railroads in the early days to connect with the world.

The Big Four railroad first rolled into LeRoy in 1870. The line was so named because it originally stopped in Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis.

In order to provide a less expensive rail line than the Big Four, LeRoy citizens helped lay the track for the Punkin Vine, a narrow-gauge railroad that originated in West Lebanon, Ind., and terminated at the Big Four junction in LeRoy.

Thus connected, LeRoy chugged along -- an ordinary small town with some not-so-ordinary community leaders.
