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.

"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."

She eloped today to Chicago with Everett Snow of Sugar Grove and married him. The people of Sugar Grove thought that they were not to be married until June. But March 18, today, is Miss Seavey's birthday, and it is also Saturday when there is no school. The circumstances being thus propitious the wedding was arranged. All preparations were shrouded with the most profound secrecy. The event was to be a great surprise, and perhaps a shock to fond relatives and friends. Mis Seavey is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Seavey retired Sugar Grove farmers. She is a graduate of West High School and of the DeKalb Normal school. She has taught school for several years because she liked the work. She had means. She is described at Sugar Grove as a "thoroughly modern young woman, very independent, who usually does as she pleases." And she pleased to marry Mr. Snow now. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Snow of Sugar Grove and is well known in Aurora where he was formerly a student in a business college for a time. Then he went back to farming. He is said to be a very excellent dancer and a former favorite at events of the kind here. Lately, they say at Sugar Grove, "he has been dancing to a different tune." The young couple were attended by Byron Scott of Kaneville and Miss Carolyn Barth of Mendota.

Their sister, Miss Ida Mighell, daughter of Albert, lives on her Grandfather Ezekiel's old farm at Jericho, where both she and Leo were born. Miss Mighell, in fact, owns five farms. In the interest of truth, however, it must be confessed that she did not make her money by farming. She and her brothers help organize the very successful Richards-Wilcox Manufacturing Company. For many years she was a teacher a principal in the Chicago schools. Teaching under here was her friend, Miss Myrtle Mattison, whose father at one time was pastor of the Galena Street, now Wesley, M.E. church in Aurora. The two friends retired from school work at the same time and are now enjoying life together on the Mighell ancestral acres.

His grandfather settled on a farm south of town wheren he was a boy. It is the same farm where Dr. McCannon and his father were born. Dr. McCannon graduated from Sugar Grove High School in 1929, one of a class of nine. After graduation, he became interested in 4-H and started raising pure bred hogs. However, they developed a disease that turned his attention from farming to medicine. Three years after his high school graduation , he entered the University of Illinois. After two years, he transferred to Iowa State University and received his degree from there as a doctor of veterinary medicine in 1938. He practiced in Aurora for three years. Then he entered the Army as a private, received a commission and retired fiver years later as a major. Since then, he has been a veterinarian, specializing in large animals, in the Sugar Grove area. His practice has had several interesting highlights, among them the fact that he met his wife, Grace, when she called him when her dog was sick. Then her dog had four puppies, each of them needing surgery. She finally told him she couldn't afford to pay him, so she guessed she'd have to marry him. They have three children and a grandson. Their son, Michael, is married, lives in Sugar Grove and is the father of Matthew Mark McCannon. Their daughter Mrs. Willa Bretthauer, a graduate of the University of Illinois, lives in Hinckley and teaches in the Sandwich school system. Mary is a senior at Southern Illinois University, majoring in social sciences. Dr. McCannon gained national publicity about 15 years ago for saving a herd of cattle. Recently purchased, they were put into a field surrounded on three sides by corn fields. ... If Ben McCannon Sr., had had his way in 1929, Dr. Willis McCannon would never have been able to read his father's name on the cornerstone of the Sugar Grove Community House. Ben told the bricklayers to turn the engraving, with the board members' names, to the inside. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Sonya H.
