Farm by Joan Istas Recalls Early Franklin County Settlement
Good Neighbors Extension Homemakers Unit members in Franklin County explored pioneer life through memories of Peoria Mount Vernon and Imes. They toured Howard Cemetery, the Peoria area, and James Seymour’s log cabin north of Rantoul, hearing tales of horse thieves, Quantrill visits, gas piping, and a midwife grandmother while sharing potluck at the Seymour cabin. A second history tour is planned later this year.
