More than 1,000 visitors attended the 4-hour gathering on October 20, a perfect fall day of clear skies and bright sunshine. The visitors took away so many memories, from a horse and cart carrying riders along the prairie grass to a concert of Civil War-era music by the 10th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry Regimental Band. Guests sat on straw bales before the Strawbridge-Shepherd House, with its exterior newly restored and trimmed. At Mrs. Shepherd's Pantry, volunteers sold donated pumpkins, preserves, pies and cakes. All proceeds will benefit phase 2 of the restoration set to continue in Big surprise of the day: arrival of the Shepherd Family, three generations from Iowa. They told stories about life in the house, described its rooms and furniture, and volunteered to provide more assistance in the future.

Years ago, Old Settlers Day was a tradition to honor those who settled in Sangamon County before the harsh Winter of Several descendants of those pioneers attended this year s event and told their stories. All the organizers agree: it was a magical day, full of generosity and happiness, giving life once more to a bygone era.

President Corrine Frisch planned a beautiful champagne brunch that included a meal prepared and served by Iles House volunteers. It was a perfect fall day for the event. The Iles House patio was put to good use for the champagne cocktail reception where attendees lingered in the afternoon sun talking and enjoying the last days of autumn. After lunch, the group was entertained by three talented performers. Kevin Purcell recited poetry of Vachel Lindsay, Edgar Lee Masters and Carl Sandburg, Ann Collins sang, and Kevin Carton played the piano. It was a most enjoyable event. Kevin Purcell recited the poetry of Vachel Lindsay after the business meeting. Larry Stevens, Mrs. Bussard, Charles Hammond, Katie Huther, Phyllis Brissendon, John Huther, Susan Hammond and Lawrence Bussard enjoy the champagne reception on the Iles House Patio.

After completing their tours, families and friends gathered in the Museum for apple cider and cookies. In Memory of Robert E. Shep Shepherd Old Settlers Day at the Strawbridge-Shepherd House was a magical day in many ways. The appearance of Lorna and Robert Shepherd of Ainsworth, Iowa contributed greatly to the magic. Their son, Bill who lives in Knoxville, Iowa, had seen the announcement of the Old Settlers Day on the State Journal Register website and called his Dad to tell him about the event. Dad, we are going to Springfield for this. And indeed they did come. Bill and his wife and his daughter, and his parents, Lorna and Robert, drove to Springfield on Saturday morning. They arrived and stood in line to take the tour of the House, not letting anyone know that they had a special connection to this place. Their identity was discovered only when in the middle of a tour someone wondered out loud if the upstairs north bedroom had always been painted pink. Robert s granddaughter spoke up and said that it was painted pink because that was her favorite color as a child. Oh, Lorna and Robert Shepherd at the Strawbridge-Shepherd House for Old Settlers Day on October 20, you lived in the House? Yes, indeed, and she introduced us to her grandparents who had moved from the House in 1971 when it was purchased as the site for the new University campus now UIS. From that point forward, the Shepherd s were the center of attention for all of those wanting to learn more about their life in the Shepherd House. R-Lou Barker spent well over an hour going from room to room with the Robert, picking his memory for tid bits of useful information. Indeed it was magical. And that is how we all should remember Robert Shepherd. A charming, understated gentleman who was born in 1925 while his parents, Charles and Minnie Shepherd lived in the Shepherd House and who happily spent his last full day of life there enjoying Old Settlers Day. On Saturday evening, Robert and Lorna returned home to their farm in Ainsworth, Iowa and Robert died the next day in a farming accident. May he rest in peace, joyful that he spent his last day, Old Settlers Day, with us at the Strawbridge- Shepherd House. Dick Hart

During this Phase, the House was stabilized with replacement of sills and addition of foundation support, reconstruction of the east, 1 1/2 story lean-to, extensive removal of non-historic materials and replacement of the roof with an historically appropriate shingle roof. The House has been put to bed for the winter, and Phase Two of the restoration will begin in the Spring of Iles House Insulation Completed The much awaited insulation of the Iles House was completed in mid December This should make the House more energy efficient and warmer in the winter. In late November under early moonlight, Tom Bundy and Gary Large finished roofing the west side of the House. In mid December, Matt Von Behren of AHI Electrical & Insulation Contractors Co. braved inclement weather to insulate the Iles House. Having finished the roof, Tom and Gary flashed the two chimney s on the Strawbridge-Shepherd House.
