Title A name given to the resource Jannotta Family Collection Subject The topic of the resource Janotta, Stella Skiff, 1867-1954 Janotta, Alfredo A. (Alfredo Antonio), 1843-1913 Janotta, A. Vernon, 1894-1972 Description An account of the resource The Janotta Family Collection contains photographs relating to conductor/composer Alfredo Jannotta, his wife, activist and author Stella Skiff Jannotta, and their family. Several photographs belonged to their son, Navy Rear Admiral A. Vernon Jannotta. Alfredo Jannotta immigrated from Italy by way of London to Boston in 1865 where he taught voice at the New England Conservatory of Music. He married his first wife, Alice Prudy and they had a son, Edward, before Alfredo moved to Cincinnati in 1868. Alfredo spent 12 years in Cincinnati teaching vocal performance as well as conducting the Cincinnati Choral Society and organizing the first Cincinnati orchestra. He moved back to Boston in 1881 but moved to St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1882 and finally to Chicago in 1888 where he established himself as a vocal teacher. While teaching in Chicago, Jannotta taught vocal lessons to Stella Skiff whom he married in 1893. Skiff was the daughter of Iowa businessman Vernon William Skiff and his wife, Mary Frances Coffin. Her brother, Frank Vernon Skiff founded the Jewel Tea Company which later grew into a national grocery store chain including Jewel, Osco, Eisner, and White Hen. Skiff continued her singing career after marrying Jannotta and briefly taught lessons. Between 1894 and 1898, she gave birth to sons A. Vernon, Francis, and Joseph. Between 1917 and 1918, Stella adopted three foster daughters, Margaret, Marion, and Betty (Elizabeth). In the early 20th century she began taking an active interest in causes including the suffrage movement and socialism. Stella Jannotta joined the Chicago Political Equality League (predecessor to the Chicago League of Women Voters) in 1907. She wrote for the propaganda arm of the organization, including a 1916 article entitled "Public Opinion" which she revisted several times over the following decades. A. Vernon Jannotta, the oldest son on Alfredo and Stella, served in the United States Navy in both World War I and World War II. He rose through the ranks of the Navy and the Naval Reserves, eventually retiring as a Rear Admiral in 1954. Jannotta received several military honors including the Navy Cross, Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and a Purple Heart.  Jannotta began working at the Jewel Tea Company in 1919 and held several positions at the company for the next 50 years. He also held several executive positions or held stakes in several companies including Lehman Brothers, Motor Institute of America, Tapp, Inc. and Consolidated Trading Corporation.

(Frank Everett), 1856-1939 Black Hawk War (1832) Generals Soldiers War of 1812 Veterans Mexican War (1846-1848) Generals Legislators Indians of North America Description An account of the resource Frank E. Stevens was a lawyer, banker, newspaper editor and writer based in Illinois. Stevens was born and educated in Dixon, Illinois. He studied law in Sycamore, Illinois, and was admitted to the bar in 1877. Shortly after that he moved to South Dakota where he operated the Beadle County National Bank until 1890 when he moved to Chicago and worked in a brokerage business. In 1907 Stevens returned to Sycamore, Illinois, where he published the Dixon Weekly Citizen and later the Sycamore Tribune. He retired from the newspaper business in 1928 and was elected mayor of Sycamore in 1931. Governor Henry Horner appointed Stevens to the War Records Division of the office of the Adjutant General. Stevens was a historian who authored several historical works including The Black Hawk War. Stevens used the majority of the items in the collection while researching and writing The Black Hawk War. The Black Hawk War (1832), although brief, has much significance for Native American history. In April, tribal groups of Sauk, Meskwakis, and Kickapoo, led by Chief Black Hawk of the Sauk, crossed the Mississippi River from Iowa into Illinois. Known as the British Band, they claimed lands under the 1804 Treaty of St. Louis, a treaty the whites disputed. Fearful, militia’s fired on the Native American delegation in what led to the Battle of Stillman’s Run, a resounding defeat for the militias. Black Hawk was eventually defeat, however, at the battles of Wisconsin Heights and Bad Axe. Historically, the Black Hawk War legitimized and strengthened forcible relocation of Native American tribes further west. The finding aid for the Frank E. Stevens Papers, 1832-1939 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is located at: http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/610.

Title A name given to the resource Monticello College Collection Subject The topic of the resource Women's colleges Universities and colleges Monticello College Monticello Female Seminary Haskell, Harriet, 1835-1907 Illinois--Godfrey Godfrey, Benjamin, 1794-1862 Description An account of the resource Monticello College first began as the Monticello Female Seminary in 1838. Founded by Captain Benjamin Godfrey to provide education for women, the school offered two years of classes for attendees based on the idea that “if you educate a man you educate an individual; educate a woman and you educate a whole family.” Godfrey selected Reverend Theron Baldwin to serve as the first head of the Monticello Female Seminary. In 1867 Harriet Haskell became principal, a position she held until her death in 1907.  On November 4, 1888, a fire broke out in the building and consumed the entire structure. Ms. Haskell and the school's Board of Trustees successfully fundraised for a new building and rebuilt the school in two years. The school's leadership made the decision to close the school in 1970 with the final class graduating in 1971.

Jacksonville, Aug. 30, 1862. Mr. Joseph Bancroft. Dear Sir, Our recent letters from Frank speak of a great deal of sickness in Camp, where he is located; and we learn from other sources that it is a most unhealthy place, and some of the men at Helena complain bitterly of Curtis for sending them to such an unhealthy locality, when, as they say, there was no need of it. Frank has made no complaints, has only spoken of the amount of sickness. In one letter he states that not one officer is fit for duty in the 11th Wisconsin, and only four in his, the 33rd Regiment. In his last letter, he says, "There is much sickness, and frequent deaths here, some from sun stroke, more from fever. We hear several times, almost every day, the sad sound of the three volleys, which tell of the death and burial of another soldier. A large portion of Co. K. (Frank's company) is sick, so as to be unfit for duty; two men are sick, who were never so before, during the year we have been in the service." &c. They are at Old Town, twenty five miles below Helena. They have been sent on five expeditions since their <hr /> terrible march across Arkansas; during one of which the secured for the government over one hundred thousand dollars worth of cotton, with the loss of one man killed and three wounded. Now in view of all these circumstances, and their long distance from all their friends, I have thought it possible that Gov. Yates might be willing to send some medical man down to look after their comfort, as he did over in Missouri, and has done in other instances. My reasons for troubling you, is, to ask you to confer with Gov. Yates on the subject, (if you consider it suitable) and see if he would not commission Mr Adams to go on such an errand. I think he might do much good, and would be much happier than he is in staying home, doing nothing to help along the great interests of our country. Frank says, he is well, but of course we feel intensely anxious about him under the circumstances. If Mr Adams could go, I would see to getting up a box of delicacies for the sick &c. to send by him. I am told that there is no security in sending such things down there, except in charge of some responsible person. Please excuse me for taking this liberty of troubling you, and do not take the trouble to reply to this, as it is not necessary. If Gov. Yates thinks proper to make any movement of the kind, he will of course communicate it to Mr Adams; if not, it is all right. I have said nothing <hr /> to my husband about this letter, but I know his intense interest in the cause, and his willingness to contribute all in his power, either of time or money, to its advancement. The Faculty of College have arranged, so that if one or more of their number can do any good, by being absent a part, or all of the term, they are at liberty to do so. With much respect, Your friend, Mary J. Adams, <hr /> Mary J Adams Jacksonville Aug 30/62 to Mr Jos Bancroft. Sick in our Camp hopes Govr Yates will send Mr Adams down to look after them.
