Bigler and guests visit Illinois relatives in February
Gottleib Bigler and Mesdames Ben Freden, Alex Baumgartner, Fred Voeider and Mary Schneider traveled from Elgin for Illinois destinations on Tuesday. Bigler went to Peoria while the women head to Routa where relatives await. A nearby six-inning game saw Elgin Clermont beat a country team 21 to 8. A band of four Indians toured Elgin, possibly hunting gin-seng, an unusual sight for locals.
