Title A name given to the resource Sugar Grove United Methodist Church, 1889 - 1939 Golden Jubilee, 50th Anniversary Description An account of the resource Click on cover to download 1939 Golden Jubilee Program. Excerpts from 1939 Program: GOLDEN JUBILEE of the SUGAR GROVE METHODIST CHURCH 1889 – 1939 Sugar Grove Methodism has a heritage that is rich beyond compare. It is a heritage that is filled with tales of brave men and women, of preachers whose home was a saddle; it is a heritage that will compare to any nobility in things accomplished and goals gained. It was over one hundred years ago that the first Circuit riding Methodist preacher visited Sugar Grove Township. His name was John Clark. There was no village in those days only a few scattered settlers. Yet, for some reason or other, that first preacher chose to make Sugar grove his home, and for many years after our township was the headquarters of Fox River Valley Methodism. At first services were held in homes. Sometimes the preacher was forced to be elsewhere, then one of the lay members of the congregation would preach. But there were always services. These men and women, opening a wilderness for colonization, knew the importance and the reality of their God. In 1857, the first regular church building was erected just off of the Sugar Grove Road near the edge of Blackberry Township. It was know as the Sugar Grove – Blackberry Good Will Church. There was not regular pastor for this church. The sudden growth of nearby Aurora had changed the center of preaching. However, the pulpit was filled quite regularly by ministers from surrounding towns. Later, still another church building was erected for public worship in our township. This building was located just one mile south of Jericho Corners and was not torn down until 1929. Our own church building, whose fiftieth anniversary we are observing this year, was begun in the fall of 1888. We cannot attempt to enumerate here the names of those who backed this church venture in the “Grove”, and who made it possible to dedicate the church in the spring of 1889 absolutely free of debt. However, we cannot pass on without mentioning the Laidies Aid, which society was organized in 1885, and “Uncle Dan” Gordon who gave the land upon which the church stands. For many years after the dedication of the new church, services were held both in the morning and afternoon. The morning service was the regular Methodist worship service. In the afternoon, the facilities of the church were thrown open to a group of men and women who desired to hold “union services”. It was not many years, however, before this distinction was done away with; the services were united and, as one of the present members of our church has said in recalling the whole fifty years of history, “ever since we have worked together. We’re all trying to be Christians here.” By the year 1890, the Ladies Aid which had accomplished so much for the infant church, found itself sadly lacking in support. So in 1892 our present organization, The Ladies Church Social Society, was organized. At the present time, this organization has seventy active members, three of whom are charter members. In more recent years another Ladies society has developed which has taken the place of the old Ladies Aid. It is known as The Friendship Bible Class. This society, together with the L.C.S.S. has done many fine things, financially and other wise, for the church. A third ladies organization, The Standard Bible Class, has also been very active in church activities in recent years. In 1903 the Sugar Grove church was placed on two points with Kaneville. The minister resided at Kaneville and held services in Sugar Grove on Sunday afternoon. The first minister to serve these two churches together was Rev. L.L. Hammitt. In 1919 the tie between Sugar Grove and Kaneville was broken. For a few years the church enjoyed a resident preacher. For most of the years that have followed, however, our church has been served by ministers who were taking work at the Garrett Theological Seminary. As we observe this anniversary, the members of our church cannot help but feel encouraged over the future. We have at the present time 108 members, irrespective of those who shall join the church on this occasion. For the last five month period our smallest church attendance was 61, our largest 197, our average 77. Recent improvements include a new bathroom in the parsonage, new hymnals, a musical tower, using our pastor’s equipment, and some of the work redecorating our church basement has already been done. We expect that in the very near future this will be completed. New organizations include a weekly Epworth League, a Sunday School orchestra, a Junior Girls Choir, a children’s story hour during the week and a nursery class during the worship service on Sunday, a daily vacation Bible school, a Cradle Roll Sunday School Class, and a Queen Esther and Women’s Missionary Societies. Additional plans are already underway to provide hard of hearing aids in our sanctuary, and to secure robes for our splendid choir.

Among the items found were: Barbed wire Metal shell casing Metal cylinder Bead Glass pieces Bone A description of the historic site can be found in both of the following resources as excerpted below: "Sugar Grove, Illinois 1834 - 1984" by Ruth Frantz and Frank Damon "Sin-Qua-Sip: A History of Sugar Grove Township, Kane County, Illinois" by Patsy Mighell Paxton "Spring of 1834 - Black Swamp, Ohio, six men happened to make camp together: Asa McDole from Chemung County, New York; brothers James and Isaac Isbell; nephew Parmeno Isbell; James Carmen; and Mr. Bishop, all from Medina, Ohio. Friendships were formed around the campfire when they discovered they all had the same destination. May 10, 1834 they left Oswego on the Fox River - then just two cabins. With two carts, two yoke of cattle, four cows, a couple of axes and each man his 'flint lock’, they followed Blackberry Creek north. An abandoned Native American Indian sugar camp by the Mounds and creek enticed them to stay in what is now the Bliss Woods area of Sugar Grove. Taking shelter in a brush wigwam, they set about building the first log cabin. Soon after, in the area south of Merrill Road, they built a larger and better log house, preparing for the arrival in July 1834 of James and Isaac’s mother, sister Miranda, brother Lyman, his wife and two children. These first white women to see Sugar Grove also brought the first team of horses here. Claim Laws of that day allowed a main to claim what he could plow around with a team in a day. That summer they broke the first ground readying if for a crop of wheat in 1835.” *********** Logs from one of these first log cabins were believed to have been used later to build a barn. According to notes on a sketch of the barn, the original log cabin was located on the north side of Blackberry Creek in what became the T. & A. Judd Farm (Section 9, Sugar Grove Township), and which is now in the area of Bliss Woods Forest Preserve. The barn in the sketch was located on Galena Blvd., 1/2 mile east of Illinois Route 47 on the north side in the area that is now Windsor Pointe East Subdivision. The barn was located on the Dexter C. Judd estate (Section 15, Sugar Grove Township), which is spanned both the north and south sides of Galena Blvd. See Item #728 “Sketch: Old Barn on Galena Boulevard that contained wood from one of the first log cabins in Sugar Grove” *********** A description of the historic site and the logs used in another structure can be found in the following resource as excerpted below: “Past and Present of Kane County, Illinois. 1878” page 412: “As Lyman Isbell, an older brother of Isaac and James, was expected, with their mother, sister and his own family, consisting of his wife and two children, a [second] log house was built, on a more ample plan, to receive them.

Several volunteers carefully delineated the dig site, surveyed the land, excavated the soil, photographed findings, cataloged artifacts, and preserved artifacts for storage. Records from the 1984 Bliss Wood Knoll Archaeological Dig include photographs of the volunteers at work and artifacts found, as well as Artifact Catalog Cards and Photographic Logs. Among the items found were: Barbed wire Metal shell casing Metal cylinder Bead Glass pieces Bone A description of the historic site can be found in both of the following resources as excerpted below: "Sugar Grove, Illinois 1834 - 1984" by Ruth Frantz and Frank Damon "Sin-Qua-Sip: A History of Sugar Grove Township, Kane County, Illinois" by Patsy Mighell Paxton "Spring of 1834 - Black Swamp, Ohio, six men happened to make camp together: Asa McDole from Chemung County, New York; brothers James and Isaac Isbell; nephew Parmeno Isbell; James Carmen; and Mr. Bishop, all from Medina, Ohio. Friendships were formed around the campfire when they discovered they all had the same destination. May 10, 1834 they left Oswego on the Fox River - then just two cabins. With two carts, two yoke of cattle, four cows, a couple of axes and each man his 'flint lock’, they followed Blackberry Creek north. An abandoned Native American Indian sugar camp by the Mounds and creek enticed them to stay in what is now the Bliss Woods area of Sugar Grove. Taking shelter in a brush wigwam, they set about building the first log cabin. Soon after, in the area south of Merrill Road, they built a larger and better log house, preparing for the arrival in July 1834 of James and Isaac’s mother, sister Miranda, brother Lyman, his wife and two children. These first white women to see Sugar Grove also brought the first team of horses here. Claim Laws of that day allowed a main to claim what he could plow around with a team in a day. That summer they broke the first ground readying if for a crop of wheat in 1835.” *********** Logs from one of these first log cabins were believed to have been used later to build a barn. According to notes on a sketch of the barn, the original log cabin was located on the north side of Blackberry Creek in what became the T. & A. Judd Farm (Section 9, Sugar Grove Township), and which is now in the area of Bliss Woods Forest Preserve. The barn in the sketch was located on Galena Blvd., 1/2 mile east of Illinois Route 47 on the north side in the area that is now Windsor Pointe East Subdivision. The barn was located on the Dexter C.

Several volunteers carefully delineated the dig site, surveyed the land, excavated the soil, photographed findings, cataloged artifacts, and preserved artifacts for storage. Records from the 1984 Bliss Wood Knoll Archaeological Dig include photographs of the volunteers at work and artifacts found, as well as Artifact Catalog Cards and Photographic Logs. Among the items found were: Barbed wire Metal shell casing Metal cylinder Bead Glass pieces Bone A description of the historic site can be found in both of the following resources as excerpted below: "Sugar Grove, Illinois 1834 - 1984" by Ruth Frantz and Frank Damon "Sin-Qua-Sip: A History of Sugar Grove Township, Kane County, Illinois" by Patsy Mighell Paxton "Spring of 1834 - Black Swamp, Ohio, six men happened to make camp together: Asa McDole from Chemung County, New York; brothers James and Isaac Isbell; nephew Parmeno Isbell; James Carmen; and Mr. Bishop, all from Medina, Ohio. Friendships were formed around the campfire when they discovered they all had the same destination. May 10, 1834 they left Oswego on the Fox River - then just two cabins. With two carts, two yoke of cattle, four cows, a couple of axes and each man his 'flint lock’, they followed Blackberry Creek north. An abandoned Native American Indian sugar camp by the Mounds and creek enticed them to stay in what is now the Bliss Woods area of Sugar Grove. Taking shelter in a brush wigwam, they set about building the first log cabin. Soon after, in the area south of Merrill Road, they built a larger and better log house, preparing for the arrival in July 1834 of James and Isaac’s mother, sister Miranda, brother Lyman, his wife and two children. These first white women to see Sugar Grove also brought the first team of horses here. Claim Laws of that day allowed a main to claim what he could plow around with a team in a day. That summer they broke the first ground readying if for a crop of wheat in 1835.” *********** Logs from one of these first log cabins were believed to have been used later to build a barn. According to notes on a sketch of the barn, the original log cabin was located on the north side of Blackberry Creek in what became the T. & A. Judd Farm (Section 9, Sugar Grove Township), and which is now in the area of Bliss Woods Forest Preserve. The barn in the sketch was located on Galena Blvd., 1/2 mile east of Illinois Route 47 on the north side in the area that is now Windsor Pointe East Subdivision. The barn was located on the Dexter C. Judd estate (Section 15, Sugar Grove Township), which is spanned both the north and south sides of Galena Blvd. See Item #728 “Sketch: Old Barn on Galena Boulevard that contained wood from one of the first log cabins in Sugar Grove” *********** A description of the historic site and the logs used in another structure can be found in the following resource as excerpted below: “Past and Present of Kane County, Illinois. 1878” page 412: “As Lyman Isbell, an older brother of Isaac and James, was expected, with their mother, sister and his own family, consisting of his wife and two children, a [second] log house was built, on a more ample plan, to receive them.
