DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Proceedings of the Old Settlers' Meeting: Held at Catlin, Illinois, Saturday, September 26th, 1885 Ladies and Gentlemen: Two weeks ago, at a meeting held in Catlin, and called by John W. Newlon and myself, it was determined to hold a reunion of old settlers, and to organize an Old Settlers' Association. Between the years 1820 and 1834 this country passed from the control of savage to that of civilized men. One of the principal objects of this contemplated organization is to gather up and preserve whatever we can of the history of this transition, and of the history of later years. Most of the pioneers have passed away, and the history that they alone knew is forever lost. Others are passing away year after year, and soon all will have gone.
