I have also enclosed a list of men who were killed or died in the service of their country who lived in or near Bristol or Yorkville. With the exception of the Civil War list, all those named had a Bristol or Yorkville postal address and the majority actually lived in one of the two villages. Since the population of Kendall County was mainly rural during the time of the Civil War, the Civil War list is more difficult to interpret. All of the men included were credited by the Illinois Adjutant General's Office as residing in Bristol or Kendall Township. Some of the names are readily recognized as Bristol or Yorkville families. Others probably resided on nearby farms. Sincerely, Elmer Dickson Charles Baird and James Stark, en route to Greyley, Mich.,for skiing, were forced to turn back because of drifting snow. Kendall County Record, January 21, 1965 It's been more than a year since I received a phone call from Yorkville's City Hall with a request for information about my father, Charles Baird, in regard to a nomination by Elmer Dickson to have a street named in his honor. After setting the request aside for some time, I finally decided it was time to dig into the past. It took much longer than I realized to research my father's history, and even after all this time, I am afraid there are lots of gaps. I thought it would be easy to tell you who my father was. He was born on Nov. 16, 1930, in Albia, Iowa and grew up there. He had one older sister, Rosemary. His mother, Ruth, died when he was a young man and his father, Wiley Baird, married Iolet some years later. My dad served in the Army during the Korean War, from Jan. 24, 1951 to Jan. 12, 1953, according to the Soldiers Discharge Records kept in Kendall County. He was in Company K, 85th Infantry, 10th Infantry Division, First Platoon. He received an honorable discharge, the Korean Service Medal and the United Nations Service Medal for his duty. While serving, he worked in the Tokyo Ordnance Depot, 603'd Ord. B.A. & F.C. Co. Watch Repair Section. Upon his return, he came to Elgin Watchmakers College to study watchmaking. This is where he met my mom, who was a secretary at Elgin National Watch Co. Plant 2. My mom, Nancy Ballsmith, said he showed up at her home one day and she thought he was the Fuller Brush man. She told him she wasn't interested in buying anything and sent him on his way. Only later did she learn he was the same man who had called earlier to see if she would accept a date. When I was growing up, my dad liked to tell people they met at a bar,just to rile my mom. My mom was engaged to marry another man when she became friends with my father. It was quite the scandal when she broke her engagement and began her courtship with my dad. He was that charming. They married in Elgin on Nov. 6, 1954. After marrying, my parents came to Batavia, where my dad worked as an assistant at a jewelry store. When Harry Crawford, who also was postmaster, put his jewelry store up for sale in Yorkville, my father answered the ad. He took over the store in 1956, and my parents and older brother, Bill, moved into the apartment over the store, on Bridge Street. Charles Baird of Batavia has purchased the Crawford Jewelry Store and is now operating it as Baird' Jewelry store. We welcome this new merchant to Yorkville. Mr. Baird is married and there is one child in the family. Formerly employed at Larson's Jewelry in Batavia, the Bairds plan to move to Yorkville as soon as possible. Mr. Baird invites you to drop in and get acquainted with him and his various brands of merchandise. Kendall County Record, Sept. 6, 1956 I came on the scene in 1957; my younger brother, Dan, in 1958. Girl for the Bairds: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Baird of the Baird Jewelers are the parents of a girl, Penny Sue, born Sunday at the Copley Hospital in Aurora. Brother Bill Baird is eager to meet his new little sister. Kendall County Record, June 6, 1957 We lived on Fox Road in the house next to Mr. Crawford's farm until I was 3. Then we moved to 901 Adrian Street, in a new subdivision on the edge of farmland and unfettered prairie. When I was growing up, there were always kids at the house. My dad helped us build a fort on stilts of wood at the edge of our house lot and all the neighbor kids worked to make it their own. The fort was the site of many good-natured fights between the kids on Adrian Street and those on Elizabeth Street (the two streets were separated by a creek and prairie), As they grew into their teens, my brothers were always into some sort of mischief and my dad took to listening to the police scanner at night to see if they were giving the police trouble. More than once, I heard him sigh as one of their names was announced on the intercom. My dad was determined to keep the upper hand and could outrun my two brothers until they were well in their teens, driven mostly by the sheer will of being able to say he could. My dad turned our garage - and our crawl space - into mechanics' shops so he could build an airplane, then later taxied the experimental aircraft down the block on Adrian Street to test it. He loaded it on the back of a trailer and we kids climbed on dressed as characters from Charlie Brown for one of the city parades. Then he took the airplane to a nearby landing strip, where he gave it its first test run. The landing gear failed on landing, and he "bellied" the craft; he later repaired the plane and received his Experimental Aircraft Association certificate. My dad owned several airplanes in his lifetime, and would fly us to different cities in Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin, on Sunday mornings to eat. Our garage often became an impromptu building site for many of the floats we entered in town parades. It also was often decorated with crepe paper for parties, as neighborhood parties were the norm back then. We were always having parties when I was a kid, and my dad would haul picnic tables on the back of his yard tractor to the different houses so we could celebrate. When we were little he would drive us and the neighbor kids around in wagons behind the lawn tractor. And in the winter, he would tie sleds to the back and drive us around. Ever the inventor, he got so tired of hearing my mom complain that we were running in and out of the house for drinks of water that he installed a water fountain on the back porch of our home. He always was tinkering with something to see how it worked, or putting it back in working order. My dad always had the spirit of adventure, whether it was as a young man when he raced cars, or as an adult with his planes or sports cars. He also owned a speed boat and would break waves on the Fox, the same river he pulled a lifeless body from after word reached merchants in downtown Yorkville one day that someone was drowning by the dam. My dad had a strong sense of fairness and would take a Barlow knife and cut the last piece of B & W pizza into equal portions so everyone could say they got the last bite. He collected older Corvettes, restoring each one to its original luster, then begrudgingly selling it so he could restore another one. When Jack Purcell approached my dad in the early 1970s with a proposal to move his jewelry store from Bridge Street to a new shopping center to be built on the corner of routes 34 and 47, my dad signed on. His store was among the first to open at Countryside Shopping Center in December of 1972. He grew pine trees in the extra lot that separated our home from that of Dr. Joe Gruber and his family. He loved the feel of wood but stopped short of becoming a woodcarver. He admired that quality in others and collected small jars carved from wood, seeking out the ones with more pronounced circles of grain. His favorite sandwich was fried salami on Italian hard bread; the smell of the same brings tears to my eyes to this day. He took his coffee with cream. He rarely drank. He smoked until he was 40, then stopped "cold turkey." He had a scar on his arm that he said he got from being bit by a pig; his sister said he was taking a bullet apart in the basement of their Iowa home to see how it worked when it exploded, injuring himself and making a mess of the basement. When my mom died in 1984, my dad re-evaluated what was important in life. Three years later, he turned over the keys of the jewelry store to my brothers and I so he could enjoy his remaining years. He took to boating with his best friend, Ron Robb, who had a yacht, the Rojo, that was the envy of all those who docked in Ottawa. In 1988, he and Ron decided to pull up anchor and head to the Florida Keyes on the yacht. He died on Nov. 24, after an aneurysm burst while they were traveling down the Mississippi River near Wood River, Ill. He was only 5 8. It's easy to tell you who my dad was, in terms of spirit and determination. But when it comes to trying to list his involvement in organizations within the community I feel woefully inadequate. For all my father was to me, I never saw reason to learn about who he was outside of our home. When the request came from the City, I took to spending my Sunday afternoons reading past issues of the Kendall County Record in search of stories with his name. I stopped reading after getting through 20 years of the weekly newspaper. This is what I can tell you with certainty: He was a member of the Yorkville Lions Club, the Yorkville Business Men's Association, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, and the Countryside Merchants Association. He was elected to the Yorkville Grade School District in April 1960, receiving 122 votes in precinct 1 (tying with Charles Doetschman) and receiving 103 votes in precinct 2 (tying with Robert Barkley). When he ran for a second term he was defeated in his endeavor. He received 126 votes in the race. Top vote-getters were fellow incumbent Charles Doetschman (167) and newcomer Charles Dirst(163). The fourth candidate, Harlan Wiley, received 120 votes. My dad was appointed to the first Kendall County Sheriff's Merit Commission. He was on the board of directors at Yorkville National Bank. Here is what I suspect but can find nothing to support: He was a member of the Masons. He was involved in some capacity with the Kendall County Health Improvement Association and was a member of the Yorkville Chamber of Commerce. I'm sure I am forgetting something, as my dad was not the type of person to watch the world pass by. They say the true measure of a man comes with his words and his deeds. I know my father left an indelible mark on the history of Yorkville. It would be an honor to have a street named after him.

Yorkville, Illinois 6-0560 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing this letter in regard to the article I read in the Kendall County Record concerning the naming of new streets in the city. My name is George Bennett and I have been teaching in the Yorkville school system since 1973. I suggest to you the name of a man who was a part of this county, city, and school district for over thirty years. Edward Stumbo was the principal, a teacher, and basketball coach of Plattville Grade School in the 50's and 60's. He-became the principal of Yorkville High School in 1969 and in the mid-seventies he went back to teaching at Circle Center Junior High. After his retirement he bought a townhouse in Yorkville until his death in 1990. His widow, Marcella, now lives just outside of Yorkville in a house in the country. All one has to do is talk to anyone who went through Yorkville schools when he taught here and you will hear story after story about Ed. He loved all sports, but especially Yorkville basketball. He loved to tell stories, be they about his life in his home state of Kentucky or his experiences in Third Cavalry of Patton's Third Army in World War II. He touched Wary, many lives here. I am proud to suggest to you the name of Edward Stumbo as a candidate for a street name in your fair city.

Sincerely, Elmer Dickson STREET NAME NOMINATION Person being nominated: James Harkness Last Known Address: Yorkville(deceased) Reason for being nominated: James Harkness was the son of Kendall County pioneers, Andrew and Jannett (Penman) Harkness. His mother was the half sister of Kendall County pioneer Thomas Penman. James' farm was located on Ament Road about a quarter of a mile east of present day Illinois Route 47. His brother-in-law John Dunn and his sister Isabella Harkness lived on what is known today as the Ament farm placing James' faun in the area currently being considered for development. James Harimess was a capable and honest man. For fifteen years he was Kendall Township Assessor. For many years he was Treasurer of the Kendall County Fair Association. For a significant period of time he was Treasurer of the Kendall County Horse Owner's Protective Association. In 1880, he was the census enumerator for Kendall Township. In 1894, James retired from farming and moved to Yorkville. In the early 1890's, Yorkville business and professional men worked toward the goal of attracting manufacturing and creating jobs in Yorkville. A building was constructed by citizen stockholders and board of directors elected to manage the association. In late December 1891 the stockholders elected the following board of directors. Milton E. Cornell,James Harkness,Franklin M. Hobbs, George M.Hollenback, Luther J. Jeter, George M. Johnson, William E. Kinnett, M. D, William R.Newton and Reuben W. Willett Shortly after he moved to Yorkville, James Harkness was elected to the Village Board and v.`as appointed Chairman of the vueei and Alley Corm--nittee. ii was d'ariug ii1S watch that the vast majority of the sidewalks, curbs and gutters were built in Yorkville, In addition major street projects were undertaken which have lasted to the present. For example, Van Emon Street between Bridge Street and Mill Street was higher on the south than on the north side of the street. The extreme slope to the north created serious problems for businesses on that side of the street. To correct the problem huge quantities of earth were moved from the higher ground on the south side to the opposite side of the street to level the street. From contemporary comments published in the Kendall County Record(KCR). The sidewalk in front of B. A. Cotton's store and along the north side of Van Em on Street is torn up. The new walk is completed on Madison Street past the Fred Ohse 4/7/2005 residence. On Washington Street the gangs began laying cement yesterday and have finished past the Henry Chappell residence. Monday the boys laid and completed 1680 square feet if walk, which is considered a great record for one gang. Chairman Harkness of the Street and Alley Committee is overseeing the work. (KCR) August 1, 1906. The old board(side) walk up the Bridge Street hill began to disappear yesterday, when the lower end of it was removed as a starter to get ready for the new cement walk and gutter which is to be laid on the site of the old plank walk. Teams have been hauling gravel filling to the proposed cement walk on the north side of Van Emon Street from the Skinner corner east to Heustis Street. This walk will be a high grade, in some places above the floor of the shops and mills, but the cement is laid for all time, and the buildings on this street will doubtless be replace by new and better ones in a few years. (KCR) July 31, 1907. I ne past week has'been devoted almost entirely to hauling filling by the Street and Alley Committee and helpers for the new cement walks to be built in Yorkville up the Bridge Street hill, up the Heustis hill on the west side and along the north side of Van Emon street, (KCR)August 21, 1907. Cement is being laid. The grade up the hill to the courthouse has been established in a graceful curve, about afoot and a half higher than the old board walk was. Some of the buildings will necessarily be raised to come up to the walk. The cement men began work Monday morning, The Van Emon Street walk will be the next to be laid, the filling having already been hauled and distributed Another steep walk will be constructed up the west side of the Heustis Street hill, abutting the August Leifheit block, to meet the cement walk already in use on the top of the bluff' Sand and gravel are being hauled far the walks on the north and south sides of the street just south of Fred Bretthauer's residence. (KCR) August 28, 1907. All of this work was done in an era when elected officials,responsible for such public works, were expected to be intimately involved in the management of the project. In the "good old days"being a small town public official was a hands on experience. Public spirited citizens spent countless hours working for the public good without expr:;ctatloa of co-nipz—asatlon. )miles Harkness was the qui tcssentlai public ofllcial.
