In the article, Chris Walker wrote, “When Karen McCannon wants something done, she gets it done. There was no way she was going to spend the holiday season without the massive evergreen tree at Route 47 and Cross Street illuminated. When McCannon found out that Sugar Grove Village President Sean Michels deemed that it wouldn't be appropriate to spend taxpayer money on tree lighting last year, she rallied some volunteers together and raised funds so that she could do it on her own." “Now, with the lights already purchased, it was a far easier task of getting them out of storage and installing them in the tree this year.” … “Jim Wilhelm (2009) and Pat Graceffa (2006) are two of the volunteers who were instrumental in assisting in this project the past two years, along with McCannon (2008), who were all named Sugar Grove Citizens of the Year.” … "Jim Wilhelm is the one with the boom – [the truck] – which we really needed," McCannon said. "And he used his equipment from his company to help us install the lights." … "We couldn't have done it without all the volunteers," she said. "Pat and Dan Graceffa, Jim Wilhelm, Lee Drendel, Al Markus, Lisa and Bill Born, Bruce Wick, Don Foupl, Marc Ebert, John and Shirley Guddendorf and any others who I may have missed. They helped get this tree lit again." "Now all of Sugar Grove's residents, as well as the thousands who drive by on Rt. 47, can enjoy it once again."

Title A name given to the resource Sugar Grove's Historic Role in the Kane County Anti-Slavery Association and Underground Railroad Subject The topic of the resource "Elgin: An American History" by E. C. Alft "The Illinois tracks of the "Liberty Line" started at such river towns in Chester, Alton, and Quincy and led toward Chicago...The nearest main line ran from Princeton through Sugar Grove, Aurora and Hinsdale to the lake terminus." Description An account of the resource Excerpts from: "Elgin: An American History" by E. C. Alft Published online by ElginHistory.com Copyright 2000 - All Rights Reserved Chapter II. The Dividing Line ... 1. Anti-Slavery The slavery question was argued in Elgin from the earliest days of the settlement. Abolition sentiments were not popular at first, and an Elgin Free Discussion meeting in 1840, during a series of abolition meetings, resolved that "when any person who does not break the law proposes peaceably to express his views in this community by lecturing on any subject, we feel bound to protect him in his constitutional rights"2 The chairman of the meeting was Dr. Joseph Tefft, and the secretary, James T. Gifford. One morning William G. Hubbard, a storekeeper, found on his veranda a full-sized coffin, placed there during the night. A note pinned to it warned that if he did not stop talking so much against slavery he would need the coffin. Hubbard used it for kindling and kept on talking. Despite the desire of many to let the effort to elect the Liberty Party's local candidates in the Elgin subject rest, a growing number joined Hubbard and took a stand precinct. It resulted in one of the first Liberty Party victories at against what they considered the injustice of slavery. Their opposition became part of their religious beliefs, and it soon shaped their political attitudes as well. The Liberty Party had been organized in upstate New York in 1840. Not all Liberty men agreed on the particulars of a program, but they generally rejected the argument that slavery was recognized by the Constitution, and they opposed its further extension. One of the members of the new party in Elgin was James T. Gifford, who was appointed to its state central committee at a Chicago convention in 1842. There were only 32 Liberty votes cast in Kane County in the gubernatorial election of that year, less than three percent of the total. Six of these votes were in the Elgin precinct. In the Congressional election four years later, the Kane County vote for the Liberty candidate swelled to 533 about twenty-nine percent of the total. The third party was gathering momentum. The Kane County Anti-Slavery Society furthered the movement. Among the Elgin members were Dr. Anson Root, R. W. Padelford, the Rev. N. C. Clark of the Congregational Church, and William G. Hubbard. In 1844 a new pastor for the Baptist Church, the Rev. Adoniram Judson Joslyn, arrived in Elgin. The preceding year he had served as secretary of the DuPage County Anti-Slavery Society. Fiery, aggressive and outspoken in his opposition to slavery, Joslyn's energies were not confined to the pulpit. The Western Christian, which he helped edit, advocated repeal of the Illinois black laws which restricted the rights of free Negroes. A Liberty convention at Aurora in October 1846 moved "that we recommend to hungry, destitute, naked and plundered emigrants to tarry through the winter, or longer, if they choose, in Kane County, being assured that it is as safe and secure an asylum as Canada itself."3 The abolitionist Owen Lovejoy, brother of the martyred Elijah, was a principal speaker at an Anti-Slavery Convention held in Elgin in February 1847. "If the people of Elgin can withstand what he has said," wrote Caroline Gifford to her father, "and still cling to their parties, I cannot think what they are made of. I do not see how they can help being good Anti-Slavery people - I mean real strong Liberty party folks. We had a fugitive here only 30 days from slavery who gave his narrative which was very interesting."4 This meeting resolved to make a special effort to elect the Liberty party's local candidates in the Elgin precinct. It resulted in one of the first Liberty party victories at the polls in Illinois. In August 1848, A. J. Joslyn was a delegate to the national convention in Buffalo, New York, where the Liberty men broadened their program beyond the anti-slavery issue and adopted the new title of Free Soil party. That fall their candidate for president, Martin Van Buren, captured Kane County with 1,220 votes to 855 for the Whig and 783 for the Democrat. In Elgin the vote was Free Soil, 222; Democratic, 147; and Whig, 140. Not all of the Van Buren vote could be considered anti-slavery, since the numerous emigrants from "York State" may have been voting for one of their own. On the other hand, Free Soil votes were not a true indication of the anti-slavery sentiment in northern Illinois, since there were many opponents of the institution who continued to vote Whig or Democratic. The year of the Free Soil plurality in Kane County marked the zenith of its political fortunes. The Illinois Whigs now also declared themselves against the extension of slavery and recovered many of the moderates among the Free Soilers. In 1852 Kane County returned to its traditional Democratic allegiance, and the Free Soil party lost almost half the votes it had won four years before. "We were all in favor of the underground railway to Canada," recalled Harriet Gifford.5 The extent of local participation which may have accompanied this sympathy is not definitely known. Since those who harbored a fugitive slave were subject to criminal penalties, little evidence remains of Underground Railroad operations in Elgin. The Illinois tracks of the "Liberty Line" started at such river towns in Chester, Alton, and Quincy and led toward Chicago. Elgin was too far north of the more direct routes into Chicago from the south to have served as a major station. The nearest main line ran from Princeton through Sugar Grove, Aurora and Hinsdale to the lake terminus.

Truman was president of the United States and the village of Sugar Grove wasn’t incorporated. A lot certainly has changed in the past 70 years, but one thing that has remained a constant is the Boy Scouts of America Troop 41 in Sugar Grove, which was founded in 1949. “I think scouting is still the same,” said Dave Seraphin, chaplain and former scoutmaster. “The same values we picked up many years ago, these new Scouts do, too. Boyhood has not changed. The boys are still the same as they were 30 years ago. A boy is a boy is a boy. He’s fun to work with. He goofs around. He gets very serious. They do the same pranks today that they did way back then.” Troop 41 has recognized its wonderful, long history with a few special 70th anniversary events already this year, including fireside chats in April and May at the Sugar Grove Historical Society and most recently a Family Potluck Indoor Picnic at the Sugar Grove Township Community Building on June 9. “It’s been a wonderful thing,” said Jim Fox, current scoutmaster of Troop 41. “We were filled from wall to wall here, and some of the gentlemen that were here had never met before. It just goes to show that Troop 41 isn’t just who you see here every Tuesday night, it goes back much further than that.” And even if you go back to Troop 41’s humble beginnings, you can see things that remain today. “Our scoutmasters were always concerned for us,” said Dave Frantz, a Scout from 1959 to 1963. “There may be differences in scouting today than there was when we were younger, but one of the things was, and still is, that scoutmasters and adults involved in scouting will be there for you. We never lost any boys. You were never by yourself. We always had a good time. We did a lot of first-aid training, but we never had to use it on each other.” Former Troop 41 Scouts reflected on the impact it has made in their lives. The group includes Doug Musser, highway commissioner of the township of Sugar Grove, who became an Eagle Scout in 1974. “Scouting gave me the confidence to do other things, other challenges,” he said. “I was never afraid to try anything. I still have my Scout book, and I still look at it if I have a question.” Rick Johnson, a Scout from 1959 to 1961 and president of the Sugar Grove Historical Society, said he’s interested in the values that others have brought and passed down to him. “For me personally, I’ve always been shy,” he said. “Learning about my family’s history as well as being in scouting and interacting with other kids my age and adults helped me mature. It came at just the right time for me.” Clif Frantz, a Scout from 1953 to 1958 whose father, Groff, helped start Troop 41, said his memories remain so vivid because when you grew up in Sugar Grove in the 1950s you had to find the fun for yourself. “There wasn’t a movie theater within miles,” he said. “The nearest one was in Aurora. You couldn’t get a fountain Coke. There was no entertainment whatsoever. But fun was free, and you provided it for yourself.” His younger brother, Dave Frantz, said that most of today’s kids probably aren’t experiencing that kind of fun any longer. “I wish the young people today in Sugar Grove could have the same pleasure we had as kids,” he said. “Talking about how it affected you and your life, I think it helps kids to have a standard. “I always preach to me kids, well that’s what they tell me, that there is a right way to do things and there is a wrong way. When you do things the wrong way, it will usually come back to you. If you do things the right way, your life will be good. That’s basically being a Scout, doing things the right way.” And any reminiscing about being a Scout isn’t fully honest without camping tales and other adventures, as well as misadventures. “I remember one time after a Scout meeting in the Community House, I broke my arm right there,” said Bill Lye, a Scout from 1952 to 1958. “Before they put the ceiling tiles up downstairs, there were pipes up there. I climbed up on a table and jumped off and grabbed a pipe. I was swinging on it and then fell and broke my arm. About a month or so later after it healed, someone asked me, ‘How’d you break your arm?’ So I said, ‘Let me show you.’ I got up on the table, jumped up and grabbed a pipe and then I fell and broke my arm again!” Clif Frantz recalled an old swimming hole in Bliss Woods. “When we were about 8 or 9 years old and Sugar Grove had a population of only about 200 people, we used to ride our bikes down the middle of [Route] 47 to Bliss Woods to go swimming,” he said. “We’d swim all day long. There wasn’t an adult, a lifeguard, a life preserver or anything. No supervision whatsoever.” Fond memories of camping and canoeing also were shared. “I always enjoyed the Boundary Waters with the troop when we went up to northern Minnesota to go canoeing for a week,” said Mike Hauge, a Scout leader and father of Eagle Scout Mike Hauge (1999). “That’s been a highlight in my memories of Troop 41. It’s been a few years since we did that, and we are looking to perhaps do that again in the future.” While Troop 41 Scouts from the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s probably didn’t think back then that someday they’d be celebrating such an anniversary with teens and pre-teen scouts a year before 2020, it showed the youngsters how much of an impact scouting can make in one’s life. That included 11-year-old Jacob Rubo, who joined the Scouts only a few months ago. “It’s been pretty cool to meet these older scouts and listen to them sharing all their memories with the younger scouts,” he said. “We’re actually a lot alike in many ways, which is cool. I’ve made a lot of new friends, so I’m happy to be a Scout.” Many Scouts in Sugar Grove feel the exact same way.

The meeting started at exactly the same time and place (7:30p.m. at the Sugar Grove Community Center) as the first troop meeting on June 9, 1949. Attending the meeting were two of the original scouts - Ken Claesson and Harold Lye - and one of the original leaders, Groff Frantz. These three told stories of the early days of the troop. Claesson had the most merit badges. Lye unknowingly saved a fellow scout's life. According to Lye, when the troop first started, it was exciting because there were no organized activities in Sugar Grove, unlike today when kids can join any number of sports or other activities. They started without any uniforms, just neckerchiefs supplied by the troop. They had to piecemeal together their own uniforms. Because of the lack of funds, the first tents were small, one-man tents, unlike the big three-man tents of today. George Alexander donated lumber which was used by the troop. Early campouts were mostly at KeDeKa Campgrounds on Bliss Road. Equipment was sparse and much ingenuity was necessary on campouts. Also at the meeting the scouts were shown a beautiful plaque listing all the scoutmasters of Troop 41 from the beginning of the troop in 1949 to present. This plaque was recently donated to the troop by the Sugar Grove American Legion Post, Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Hess, and Mr. and Mrs. Dean Muser. Anyone interested in Boy Scouts may call Scoutmaster David Seraphin for more information. https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/126d9494c915028ec9750b1819d6a8e7.pdf e7cf6088b200a5202e2fe8b01aed8079 https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/0162e243d5933123a1c568705e1faf5f.jpg 737de347b33ae428002e83c42abf6130 https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/1bc78e0adb9384833e7a1ced562fd076.jpg f44fc5759f16a3db3d9277169b144d59 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
