[15]
Christened September 30, 1799, First Congregational Church of West
Hartford, Connecticut. Married in Hartford by Rev. Joel Linsley.
Living in Chillicothe, Livingston, Missouri, in the 1860 Census.
Fox Lake, Illinois Tales
Tales of the Fox Lake, Lake County, Illinois Area. These
stories contain historical and biographical information that we think
is essential to understanding the character of the people who settled
here, and therefore the history of the area. In 1833 Robert Stanley
left New England with his wife to make a new home in the west. He had
heard of the forests, the lakes, and the rivers in this new land. The
east no longer had a place for the woodsman, and he decided to move on.
The Stanleys traveled by horse and wagon on the long trail west. They
stopped for a time at Oneida, N.Y., where four sons, including Robert
E., Jr., was born. They reached Chicago in 1835. Robert, Sr., worked
as a carpenter there before he decided to make his home in the virgin
forests around the Pistakee Lakes . He built a log cabin near Big
Hollow, trapped, and farmed in a small way. In 1850 the new township of
Goodale was formed, and Robert Stanley was elected a road commissioner
at the first township election in April. Some years earlier he built a
log lodge on the shore of Nippersink Lake, to accommodate hunters and
travelers who came that way. He and his sons trapped fur. A muskrat
pelt was worth seven cents. Robert received $80 for his work. Robert,
Jr., had grown to become a carpenter and boat builder. The design and
construction of his boats won favorable mention in a national
sportsmen's magazine at a later date. In 1857, young Robert built a
house of milled lumber for John Sayles on the site where the family of
John's wife, Betsy, had lived in a log cabin for many years. Robert
received $80 for his work. The house stood on a hill near the site of
the (old) Fox Lake Village Hall. This house was rebuilt shortly before
Mrs. Hattie Schmidt lived there (in 1957). By this time the Stanleys
were building and selling hunting and fishing boats. They were serving
as guides, and hunting, fishing and trapping and were becoming very
well established. Robert Stanley, Sr., had four sons. Monroe was a
blacksmith who established himself east of Squaw Creek in a trap
building and fur business. Aralzeman raised horses. Robert Jr. was the
carpenter and boat builder. Rufus built a home on Point Comfort and in
later days ran the post office in his home.
Aralzeman and young Robert served in the Union Army during the Civil
War. After the war Robert took over the resort business.
His parents, and his brother Aralzeman, took off for Nebraska, where
they had other relatives and where there was more elbow room. The
region about the Pistakee Lakes was getting too crowded for them. In
1860, they had settled in Chillicothe, Livingston County, Missouri.
Aralzeman later returned to Illinois. In the Pistakee Lakes area, young
Robert attracted many sportsmen to his resort. Guiding sportsmen and
building boats was a paying business. Like other resort owners, he cut
ice on the lakes in winter and stored it in large sheds under
protective layers of swamp hay which kept the ice through the summer.
Large quantities of fish and game were hung in the ice houses for
guests and friends to take home at the end of their stays. Robert Jr.
had three sons and a daughter, all skilled in the life of hunter and
trapper, and in the art of guiding sportsmen through the still wild
country. Game abounded. The waters were full of fish, and in autumn
flocks of ducks and geese darkened the skies. The Stanley resort burned
to the ground in 1885. Robert and his sons built a small frame hotel
with a pavilion where dances were held. About 1895 this place was sold
to Otto Muehrke and (the Stanleys) moved to a house on Point Comfort.
Otto Muehrke built a large addition to the small hotel, which soon
became known as the Muehrke Illinois Hotel, a place famous for years.
It stood until the 1930s, when the hotel was torn down, and the land
was turned into a resort park by a Mr. Lowing. Robert Stanley's son
Bert had married and lived near the Elgin Waltonian Club on the shore
of Fox Lake. About 1900 he built a home at the top of the hill on
Forest Ave. he continued to build boats, and kept rooms for his
friends who came to hunt and fish. He established his parents in a
house nearby, which in 1916 became the home of Clarence and Addie
Ostrander. Bert Stanley shot ducks for the market. He packed them in
barrels and shipped them to the big Chicago hotels. Bert's sister,
Minnie, married Hank Jackson of Grass Lake, and their son Henry lived
(1957) in McHenry. Bert's children were Edythe Bridges and George
Stanley, who lived at nearby Brandenburg Lake, and Robert, who lived in
Chicago. This story of the Stanleys is offered here because their
history represents best, perhaps, the life of the early pioneers, and
because it portrays so clearly the changes through which the country of
the Pistakee Lakes has passed.
