"Let the record be made of the men and things of to-day, lest they pass out of memory to-morrow and are lost. Then perpetuate them not upon wood or stone that crumble to dust, but upon paper, chronicled in picture and in words that endure forever." --Kirkland

Hoenshell Home

The Hoenshell home was located on a 145 acre farm approximately 3 1/2 miles from Morris near the Illinois & Michigan Canal in 1917. The Illinois River flooded four years in a row and Sam Hoenshell lost the farm. Robert C. Hoenshell, son of Samuel & Jessie Johnson Hoenshell, was born in this house.
