Also, Joseph Barchard has already married Sarah Pitt, yet he is listed at home. Where is his family? John Barchard, Early Federal Land Grant in Village of Riverview, Des Plaines, Illinois Version 1: Who was he? Well, he was an early settler in this area who suffered all the pains of constant judgements, "land grabbers", "boodlers". A "boodler" was described to me as a faker, and one who obtained or attempted to get property, loans, etc, by false means. It was 1844 when John Barchard purchased an 80 acre plot of ground in what was to be the Village of Riverview. This was a grant from the governor of Illinois to John Barchard, dated August 1, 1844 and recorded January 26, 1847 in book 21, page 546. In consideration of $240 ( international improvement scrip ), Governor of Illinois grants and gives to said John Barchard the E 1/2 of NE 1/4 of Section f29, Town 41 N, R 12 E of the third principal meridian. Barchard and family were busy bees, spreading their purchases throughout the Riverview Village area and other sections of now Des Plaines, such as Orchard Place. Version 2: A time of settling into the area is unknown - few old-timers remember the family but they were here and their children and grandchildren attended the new Riverview school at turn of the 20th century. The Barchard farm of 80 acres is shown on the early land grant maps, and the legal description, taken from an 1856 title search by Page, Shortall and Co follows: Patent, dated August 1 1844 and recorded January 26 1847 in book 21, page 546 in consideration of $240.00 in international improvement script for the east half of the north east quarter of section 29, T-41, range 12 east of the third principal meridian. John & Mary Barchard had three children, Ralph, Joseph and Mary. In the year 1856, John Barchard gave 20 acres of his 80 to his daughter Mary, who had married to James Pitt ( see Pitt family heritage ). Barchard died in 1860, leaving his widow, Harriett, as executrix and sole heir with the restriction that Harriet, "remains Barchard and doesn't remarry." Harriet met all the requirements and the remaining acres were divided among the three children, Ralph, Joseph and Mary Barchard Pitt. Barchard's early land grant, like so many others, was plagued by "boodlers", ( boodlers, the term used in early 1800's for swindlers, or those who whould claim properties under false pretenses ). This forced Barchard to court to prove his legal titles on three occasions - all all three cases it was established. Version 3: The Barchard farm plot of 80 acres is shown on the early Federal grants Maps of the Riverview Village area attached to this history. According to a title search by Page, Shortall and Co., the 80 acres was first in 1847 as follows: From the Governor of the State of Illinois to John Barchard -- Patent, dated August 1844 and recorded January 26, 1947 in book 21, page 546 in consideration of $240.00 in International Improvement Script -- Title for the East half of the North East quarter of Section 29, T-41, range 12, East of the Third Principal Meridian. John and Mary had three children, Ralph, Joseph and Mary. Mary was married to James Pitt and in 1856 she received 20 acres of the original eighty from her father to Mary and her husband, James ( Pitt family a Riverview heritage family ). John Barchard died in 1860 but had expanded his acreage and fought the battles to maintain title to the properties several times. The IGI has these entries: Father: John Barchard, Mother: Harriot 1.

Notes for ALFRED F CLARK: Obituary, Sycamore True Republican, Jan 1, 1957: "A former Sycamore resident was one of two men killed in an auto-train crash at Fairdale early Saturday. Dead are the driver and owner of the car, Sam Koehn, 45, of Esmond, and his passenger Alfred Clark, 34, of Esmond." "Koehn once operated the filling station at the Coast Inn on the west edge of Sycamore. His late wife, who died three years ago, was a sister of Argel Davis of this city. Two step-daughters, Ms. Virginia Troutman and Mrs. Mary Lou Foley livein rural Maple Park." "Clark, the father of two sons, 10, and 8 years of age, was a veteran of World War II, a member of the Sycamore VFW and of the Moose Lodge." "Both men worked at the Leich Electric in Genoa. Koehn had been living at the Clark home. The two were enroute to Fairdale to visit Clark's father, Frank, when the auto skidded in front of the west bound train with 117 cars." "The train, traveling 47 miles per hour, carried the wreckage a half mile before coming to a halt. Koehn's badly mangled body was found under the train ten cars back from the engine." "Clark, who suffered a crushed head, was pinned in the wreckage which was welded to the front of the diesel engine." "Both tracks on the Chicago and Milwaukee Railroad were blocked by the accident, and as a result six streamliners, passenger trains and several freight trains were delayed until they could be cleared." "To reach the halted train, authorities had to go through a farm yard, down a narrow lane and through a cornfield. Since the bodies were carried into Ogle County after the crash, the coroner's investigation was made in that county." "The deaths increased DeKalb county highway fatalities for the year to 17. Wayne Taylor, Esmond, and Roy Kearsey, Fairdale, witnessed the fatal crash. In a similar accident at the same Main St. crossing in 1910, two men were also killed." "The Koehn body was shipped early Monday to Newton, Kansas for burial at the Lone Tree cemetary at Galva, Kansas. He was the son of Charles and Carie Koehn, born February 18, 1911 at McPherson, Kansas. His parents survive." "Clark was born to Frank and Nellie Clark of Fairdale on March 12, 1921 in Kirkland. On November 17, 1943, he was married to Anna (Christine) Paulsen. She and two sons, Robert Frederick, and Gene LeRoy, survive, along with Clark's father. His mother died this past October." "The funeral will be at 2 pm this Wednesday at the Vrba Chapel in Kirkland with the Rev. Ario Kreuger of the Lindenwood Lutheran Church officiating. Burial will be at the Bennett cemetary north of Esmond. The Sycamore VFW will have a part in the service."
