Title A name given to the resource Frank Hall Subject The topic of the resource Frank H. Hall Frank H. Hall was the Superintendent of West Aurora Schools when he was approached by a group of men from Sugar Grove about taking charge of a new school there. Thomas Judd, Henry Chapman, Silas Reynolds, Leonard Benjamin, and Lewis Gillette asked Frank Hall to take charge and teach in the school. Thomas Judd had for some years favored the idea of an industrial school which would teach agriculture as well as preparatory to going on to other vocations. Frank Hall agreed and his salary was to be $500 per year. An all day picnic was held in the maple grove on the Judd Farm on Tuesday May 28, 1875, with the announced purpose of discussing plans for the new school. History records that 1,000 people attended and all were seated at a table of 168 feet long, and enjoyed a find meal. The dinner was followed by a program and speakers. One of the speakers was Professor Hall, and at the close of his speech, he called for donations. It took just 15 minutes to collect $1,400.00, plus subscriptions that brought that total to $2,200.00. Subsequent subscriptions and the district tax, swelled the fund to $4,500.00. Mr. Judd donated the land where the apartment house now stands across from the Methodist Church. The school and a horse shed to accommodate 80 horses was build and the Sugar Grove Normal and Industrial School opened for classes in the fall of 1875. The average attendance for the first year was 100, of which about 25 were local students. The curriculum at that time included Latin, General History, natural Philosophy, Grammar, Elements of Agricultural Science, Geometry, Bookkeeping, Arithmetic, English Literature and Music. A teaching certificate was one requirement of being awarded a Certificate of Graduation. Frank Hall left Sugar Grove School in 1887, and later served as Superintendent of the Illinois Institution for the Blind at Jacksonville, Illinois. Among his accomplishments was the invention of the Braille typewriter, also called the Braillewriter or Brailler in 1892, and the stereotype-maker machine, both of which were widely used by the blind throughout the world.

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.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource January 1, 1881 Description An account of the resource “Coats of Arms were long regarded as ‘indispensable appendages of gentlemen,’ but on the decline of feudal system, about 1688, and the rise of the Reformation, they were treated in a measure as idle trappings of aristocracy, and lost the prestige originally attributed to them. In America they soon came to be regarded as ‘relics of former family vanity;’ and the staunch old Puritans would not allow themselves to tolerate even a thought that could remind them of the vain-glorious display and pomp of their persecutors in England; and so their children and descendants born in America grew up in ignorance of the heraldic standing of their ancestors in the mother country. “In Edmondson’s Heraldry, and also in Vol. II of ‘Encyclopedia Heralidica,’ by William Berry, of London, England, we find the following description of the Coat of Arms of the Bliss family: “ ‘ Gules, a bend vaire, between two fleurs-de-lis, or.’ “ “ As to the construction of this shield, it appears that gules (red) is a royal color, as Gerard Leigh says, ‘it hath long been used by emperors and kings for an apparel of majesty, and of judges in their judgment seats.’ Spelman observes that the color red was honored by the Romans as it had been before by the Trojans, for they painted their gods with vermillion, and clothed their generals who triumphed, with garments of that hue. This color denotes martial prowess, boldness, hardihood, valor and magnanimity; it is considered the noblest of all colors, and in Heraldry is assimilated to the planet Mars in the heavens, to the ruby among stones, and among flowers to the rose. “The origin of vair (or vaire) is from the fur of a beast called varus, [MACKENZIE, p. 23] whose back is a blue-gray, its belly being white, and therefore heralds have expressed it white and blue in colors; and when the head and feet of the animal are taken away, the skin resembles in figure a little cup or bell. The skins are used alternately blue and white, and in ancient times were much in vogue for lining the robes and mantles of senators, consuls, kings and emperors, and thereupon were termed ‘doublings.’ The first use of them in Heraldry is said to be from LE SEGNEUR DE COUCIES, fighting in Hungary, and seeing his army fly, pulled out the doubling or lining of his cloak, which was of those colors, and hung it up as an ensign; whereupon the soldiers knowing his courage and confiding in it, returned to battle and overcame their enemy. – [COLOMB., p. 58.] The fleur-de-lis has been from the first bearing the charge of a regal escutcheon originally borne by the French kings, and was until late in the nineteenth century the insignia of royalty in France. The lily, which of all flowers is most esteemed by the French, has been of old and still is represented by a rudely drawn fleur-de-lis. As before stated, it was the heraldic device or emblem of the royal family of France, and was so borne form the time of Clovis until the accession of Louis Phillippe; -- and whether this badge came to our family by royal descent or by royal favor, we are unable to judge. “In English Heraldry different marks of cadency were used to indicate the various branches or cadets of one family; - the oldest son, during the life of his father, bore a ‘label;’ the second son a crescent; the third a mullet; the fourth a martlet; the fifth an annulet; and the sixth a fleur-de-lis. Thus it would appear that the original grant of arms to a Bliss, by whoever given, (if in England,) was to a sixth son. Some writers have fancied that a significant symbol might be drawn from the fleur-de-lis as to the flowers of literature which younger sons were led to cultivate in the schools to fit them for the church, the senate, and the bar; but Newton thinks the adaptation was originally intended to be only personal, and accident in arms, exhibiting the degree of consanguinity of the bearer to the living head of the family. “Or, (gold) – ‘Such is the worthiness of this color that non ought to bear the same in arms but emperors and kings, and such as be of the blood royal; and as this metal exceedeth all others in value, purity and fineness, so ought the bearer endeavor to surpass all others in prowess and virtue.’ – GUILLIM." “The significance and appropriateness of the crest will be fully understood after a perusal of the Traditional History of the family. “The motto, ‘SEMPER SURSUM,’ translated, means, ‘ever upward,’ and signifies that the bearer should always endeavor to excel in his undertakings, aiming at goodness rather than greatness, in every deed or motive.” Bliss Family History https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/5611e18c2c059e6a3d3b49017e0d7458.jpg ae32c767eab8d34a55e34552a874bbc4 https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/a1606a370a195c856a8909d96713cb5c.jpg 6e6ec0b4b2dbdfe62ad233e3cdedbada https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/adc0b35cdf65912922a040122267efd2.jpg f0517b77aac238e483805b2ae184fbb5 https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/d131a7b13a8f826fe4cd6d55eaa78c6c.jpg b89dba3a61a17b77aae0d8194452e0cc https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/63e8d13f761575b00a6b0569c82d6019.jpg 00a603a3f5ed3c9ecc8e7f002fe18052 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
