Death of the President. Further details of the great crime. Additional dispatches from the Secretary of War. What is known of the assassins. The Official Dispatches. "War Department, Washington, April 15, 1865, 9:10 A.M. Major General Dix, New York -- The President continues insensible and sinking. Secretary Seward remains without change; Frederick Seward's skull is fractured in two places, besides a severe cut upon the head. The attendant is still alive but hopeless. Major Seward's wounds are not dangerous. "It is now ascertained with reasonable certainty, that two assassins were engaged in the horrible crime, Wilkes Booth being the one that shot the President, and the other accomplice, whose name is not know, but whose description is so clear that he can hardly escape. "It appears from papers found in Booth's trunk that the murder was planned before the 4th of March, but fell through then, because the accomplice backed out until 'Richmond could be heard from.' "Booth and his accomplice were at the livery stable at 6 o'clock last evening, and left here with their horses at 10 o'clock, or shortly before that hour. "It would appear that they had, for several days been seeking their chance, but for some unknown reason it was not carried into affect until last night."

Title A name given to the resource Sugar Grove History: Kane Country Chronicle Article, 2017 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kaitlin Description An account of the resource Shaw Media ran a story highlighting the history of Sugar Grove. Journalist Bryan Salvage wrote, "In spring 1834, Asa McDole, brothers James and Isaac Isbell, plus nephew Parmeno Isbell, James Carmen and a man named Bishop camped together while traveling west from Ohio and New York and discovered their destination was the same, reveals 'Sugar Grove 150 Years Sesquicentennial,' by Ruth Frantz and Frank Damon." "On May 10, they paddled along the Fox River from Oswego, took Blackberry Creek north and initially resided in an abandoned Indian sugar camp that became the Bliss Woods area of Sugar Grove. Other major Sugar Grove highlights include constructing the Chicago and Iowa Railroad through the village in the 1860s and opening the Sugar Grove Normal and Industrial School in 1876, said Rick Johnson, president of the Sugar Grove Historical Society." "Incorporated in 1957 when its population totaled 125, Sugar Grove remained a small farming village until the early 1960s, when residential development boomed. Its current population is 9,000- plus. The 50th annual Sugar Grove Corn Boil set for July 28 through 31 remains its largest event."

Title A name given to the resource A Genuine Vermonter: Peleg Young Bliss Subject The topic of the resource Bliss, Peleg Young Description An account of the resource “We have recently had the pleasure of a visit by a remarkable man, an native of Vermont, who has resided for many years at Sugar Grove, Illinois. Peleg Y. Bliss was one of ‘God’s poor,’ but by industry, temperance, integrity, wit and wisdom, he has become wealthy; and, what is best, he is a father to other poor boys of the present generation. At nine years of age he visited an aunt at Montpeller, the wife of the late Dr. Sylvester Day of the United States Army. He was then indentured to the late John Howes of Moretown, and after an unfortunate experience for a short time, he ran away, and turned up at Strafford, where he was very lucky in gaining the favor of the late Hon. Jedediah H. Harris, under whose patronage he got into business that has been for himself and for the heirs of Mr. Harris remarkably prosperous. With no education but that of the Vermont district school to being with, Mr. Bliss had made himself a good writer, and has contributed much to the press in New York city and Chicago, and always for useful purposes. He claims to be the originator of the policy, recently adopted by the United States government, of granting prairie lands to settlers who plant trees and thus stock that portion of the country with timber. Among his contributions to the Chicago press is a very touching tale entitled ‘John Leniel’s Revenge.’ It is a story of a boy who was adopted and educated by Bliss, and enlisting in the Union army was the first of his company to fall by disease. We hardly know who to honor most, the patriotic boy or his foster father. It is not a remarkable thing for natives of Vermont to have an affectionate remembrance of their native state, but Mr. Bliss has a remarkable way of remembering not only Vermont but her children. In a book he obtains a sentence of some sort and the signature of every Vermonter he meets, and on the walls of a room prepared or the purpose in his house, he puts these memorials of the children of his native state. We cannot help honoring Mr. Bliss as a worthy ‘Green Mountain boy.’ “ Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers.
