Title A name given to the resource Sugar Grove CB&Q Railroad Depot and Post Office, 1940s Description An account of the resource The photo depicts CB&Q Railroad [Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad] depot at Sugar Grove, Illinois, looking eastward in the 1940s. To the right on the opposite side of the rails is the Sugar Grove Grain and Lumber Company lumber shed. An unusual feature of this depot is the US Postal Service renting a portion of the depot for the Sugar Grove Post Office from 1943 to 1959. When Amtrak took over the passenger business, they discontinued passenger trains on this track. The Sugar Grove depot was removed in the 1970s. The familiar little red building had had the distinction of being the only depot on the Burlington Railroad to serve as both a train station and U.S. Post Office. For decades, mail was picked up and dropped off in Sugar Grove by way of the Railway Post Office Car, a common part of the passenger trains at one time. The station master would hang the canvas bag of out-going mail from a "crane", which was a hook on an arm suspended from a post along the tracks. In Sugar Grove, this apparatus was located on the railroad right-of-way adjacent to the Hotel West. The mail handler inside the train car used a hook to grab the bag from the post as the train sped through town. The mail was sorted by mail handlers inside the train car, and later dropped off at the appropriate town. In-coming mail was simply thrown from the open door of the Railway Post Office Car, and shortly after picked up by the station master. There were only a few times in Sugar Grove when the bag got beneath the wheels of the speeding train, leaving the mail bag and mail in shreds. Amtrak did away with the mail sorters and since have carried only sorted bags of mail to their destinations. With the U.S. Post Office occupying a portion of the train depot in Sugar Grove, it was always the center of social gathering as the farmers came to town on their noon break to retrieve their mail and were joined by those who lived in the village. In the winter the farmers would gather around the huge pot belly stove in the center of the waiting area and catch up on the news. In warmer weather, they congregated outside the depot. The sound of the telegraph key could always be hear above their voices. It was situated on the desk which occupied the windowed area towards the tracks, and was the only direct means of communication at that time, between the stations and subsequently the train crews. Flags were used periodically to tell a passenger on a passing train about a message that had been forwarded by way of the telegraph.

It was kept by Cyrus Slater in 1840 and mail was brought there by Stage Coach enroute from Chicago to Galena. Letters cost twenty-five cents. William Myers purchased the farm from a man named Graves in 1882. Since that time, the house that was the Post Office has been used as a dwelling, either by the Myers family or people connected with the farm. It was a frame house. The floor joists are the original logs cut from the timber, and the exterior walls are insulated with brick. It is still in very sturdy condition but has to make way for progress.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Uncle Tom's Cabin: Newspaper Article "Sugar Grove, Village of Culture" Description An account of the resource Newspaper Article Transcription SUGAR GROVE, VILLAGE OF CULTURE The Sugar Grove area was first settled by three Isbell brothers (form Ohio) in 1834, who found an Indian encampment near the grove. A post office was established in 1840, a public library in 1843, and the first school opened in 1848. Stephen A. Paull is credited with founding the village in 1838. The name, Sugar Grove, was taken from the Indians who frequented the area, tapping the many sugar maples. A cheese factory was built in 1866. One of the village's most prominent citizens, Thomas Judd conceived the idea that the area needed a high school to include courses valuable to a farming community. In addition to the usual courses, agricultural chemistry, breeds of cattle and other related subjects would be taught. Frank hall, famous educator and at that time superintendent of West Aurora schools was persuaded to head the proposed school. 1876 saw the Sugar Grove Normal and Industrial High School become a reality. Mr. Judd donated land for the institution. He also erected a large boarding house for out-of-town scholars (pictured above). This building also housed the depot for the Chicago & Iowa R.R. (now part of the C.B.&Q.), express and telegraph offices, a store and post office. Commonly called "Uncle Tom's Cabin," it burned down a few years later.
