Empire Township
Indians
McLean County, Illinois

(Transcribed by: Teri Moncelle Colglazier)

There is no record of anyone being molested by the Indians. There were Indians around-hundreds of them, who marched by single file on their yearly hunting trips along Salt Creek, always friendly but some inclined to steal.
