Old Time Political History of Southern Bureau County
Early in the Civil War residents of northern Bureau County split into Unionists and Disunionists. Unionists formed the Union League with lodges in many communities, including Malo Township. Bob Keerns led the Union League in the local lodge above his tan yard, while opponents formed The Knights of the Golden Circle with meetings in the Grove school building. A boy secretly reported Knights' plans to Bates, who relayed them to the Union League. Minutes reveal traitorous plotting against the draft and arms, contrasted with later boasts of patriotism by some Union Leaguers. The piece notes the lone survivor, B F Corbin of Bradford, and ends with brief unrelated ads.
