(Married name: Helen Ogle) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kaitlin Description An account of the resource Helen Gordon Ogle BIRTH 7 Jun 1927 DEATH 29 Nov 2005 (aged 78) Kane County, Illinois, USA BURIAL Sugar Grove Cemetery Sugar Grove, Kane County, Illinois, USA PLOT block 38, lot 8, plot 2 MEMORIAL ID 77757506 · View Source MEMORIAL Helen Grace Gordon Ogle, age 78, of Sugar Grove, IL, passed away peacefully, Tuesday afternoon, November 29, 2005 at her home, with family at her side. She was born June 7, 1927 in Aurora, IL, the daughter of Morris J. and Helen (Martin) Gordon.Helen grew up on the Gordon family farm, graduated from Sugar Grove High School and went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Business from Aurora University.Helen worked briefly at several local businesses, including a gas station, and soon became employed at PAG (Pfister Associated Growers), an Aurora seed corn company with offices on West Galena. There she met Charles W. Ogle and they were wed on September 25, 1955 at the Sugar Grove United Methodist Church. Living briefly near the P.A.G. office, they soon moved into a farm house near Sugar Grove. In 1975, they moved to the Gordon family farm homestead on Prairie Street, where they lived the rest of their lives.Helen was an active member of the Sugar Grove United Methodist Church where the touch of her hands and heart can be chronicled across the years in countless ways. She had a fondness for children and kept the "cradle roll" for the church, welcoming new children and remembering their birthdays each year as they progressed toward Sunday School. There, they would meet Helen as Secretary of the Sunday School and the keeper of attendance records that would earn them honor pins as the years passed. Visitors to the church office would find Helen, then church secretary, busy preparing the bulletin, the announcement boards, changing the altar cloths and tending to dozens of unseen details. In 1969, she was honored as "Outstanding Mother of the Year" by the Sugar Grove United Methodist Men's Group.Through the years, she taught her children and grandchildren the joy of service in this labor of love. A woman who lived her faith through her works, Helen was also a Brownie Troop Leader, secretary of the Sugar Grove Farmers Club, served her community as a Sugar Grove Township Trustee, president of the Sugar Grove Historical Society, Community Care Team Volunteer, a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and the United Methodist Women. Always welcoming, Helen had a knack for making newcomers feel at home. Whether at church, the Farmers Market, the Corn Boil or any community gathering, she connected the new with the old and made both feel welcome.At home on the farm, Helen always valued life whether human or animal. Orphan kittens, baby chicks and "ugly ducklings" of every kind were given a place in her lap, a warm spot in the kitchen and in Helen's heart. She had a gift for healing every kind of hurt and a way of teaching life-lessons as she shared life's burdens along the way. Through the years she cared selflessly for her husband, Charles and various ill and elderly relatives.She is survived by two children, Bonnie L. Ogle (Paul St. John) of Montgomery, and their family, Kate, Eleanor and Charlotte, William G. (Stephanie) Ogle of Oswego and their son, Stephen; one sister, Mary Sohan of Maple Park; one brother, Mark (Debbie) Gordon of St. Charles, IL; and many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews.She was preceded in death by her husband, Charles; her parents; two brothers, one in infancy and one in childhood; and one brother-in-law.Visitation Sunday, December 4th, from 1-4 PM at Conley Funeral Home, 116 W. Pierce St., Elburn, IL. Her funeral service will be held Monday, December 5th at 1 PM at the Sugar Grove United Methodist Church, with an hour of visitation preceding the funeral, from 12 Noon until time of service.In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established in her name to benefit various charities. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/77757506/helen-ogle Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1946 Gordon https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/61aa9f813f9fb23c31878c1ebafec228.jpg 35fc182f73e3e7dd033dbebca8a27550 https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/ba2f3a40fbefeac0c26cc14b032593f3.jpg 7352460e6449ae97b236082835b81bd5 https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/5a7714b30b18cd5b53919847633eec7b.jpg ba42b219575380ced0c5a33c1639a1ce https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/d65a681a4b5a4bf24b225997180ec03b.jpg 5f10377801edd0e59f14414a3976d2fe https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/3e5f965895acbd0a80c009c6d1d795e7.jpg 11ca488417367b5455f9f3dcf6d27a65 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Source: "Past and Present of Kane County, Illinois". 1878 Description An account of the resource On the 22nd day of November 1838, a man popularly known as “Boss” Read, who still lives in Blackberry, erected for P.Y. Bliss a frame house, which is still occupied by its original owner, on its original site. In the Spring of 1839, the Methodists held their quarterly meeting in on of its rooms, before it was quite completed; but religious exercises had been introduced into the township some time previous, the first sermon having been delivered by the devout and conscientious “Father” Clarke. On the 1st of June, 1839, Mr. Bliss filled the new building with such goods as are demanded by the country trade, and opened the first mercantile establishment in the township. Its trade extended over a territory reaching from Dundee to Yorkville, and from the borders of Kane County on the east to Johnshon’s and Shabbona groves, DeKalb County, on the west. No other store in Kane County ever drew such a wide range of custom, and according to Mr. Bliss, the annual sales exceeded those of any other in the county by thousands of dollars. In order to have exceeded the sales of any establishment by thousands, the population must have increased very rapidly during the two or three preceding years, for when, in 1837, a vote was taken for the division of Kane and DeKalb Counties, the ballot stood 170 for to 83 against the erection of the proposed new county. It is known, however, that it had increased thus rapidly, and that real estate had become proportionately dear, while in the main, other property which had been previously introduced into the settlements at a greater expense had become relatively cheaper.

It was a great loss as Thomas Judd “Uncle Tom” had no insurance. However, he then built a new hotel on the same site.

Sundays found automobiles with license plates from as far away as Wisconsin and Iowa parked in front of the hotel where Kitty served family style meals, all of which were cooked on two gigantic cast iron cook stoves in the basement kitchen. Her dining room was filled with families on Sundays and railroad personnel at noon during the week. Kitty continued to operate her restaurant and manage the apartments in the hotel, well into her later years. She could be found seated outside early on summer mornings, shelling a bushel of peas or stinging a like amount of beans, which were headed for her huge kettles and the dinner plates of diners. After many years of housing students, guests, and residents, the Old Hotel West was torn down in 1999.
