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 bor n. 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 19 57). 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 six sons. Monroe was a
blacksmith who established himself east of Squaw Creek in a trap
building and fur business. Rosmond raised horses. Robert Jr. was the
carpenter and boat builder. Owen built a home on Point Comfort and in
later days ran the post office in his home. (The names of the two
youngest sons Walsh did not learn.) Young Robert served in the Union
army during the Civil War. After the war he married and took over the
resort business. His parents and the two youngest boys 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 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 sta ys. 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.
