Homestead Visit
When Samuel Beebe
homesteaded in 1836 his was one of two "white
families" between Momence and Chicago. Chief
Yellowhead's village was less than a mile away in
the woods up a gentle slope on the other side of a
stream. Mr. Beebe spoke of wolves and a herd of
more than 300 deer in the meadows between his
homestead and Chief Yellowhead's village. Leonard
Perry Bradley, my Grandfather, married Mr. Beebe's
daughter Bertha and inherited the farm. Leonard
died in 1941 a few weeks after I was
born.
