In the same year 1834, tAvo German families arrived.

There came also, the same year, two brothers, Charles H. and Hiram Holt, George Rouse and Edward Lester—the latter with his fiA'e sons, John Marshall, Daniel, Frederick and LeAvis, and two daughters, Julia and Acentha. Miss Julia Lester became the first teacher in Dunk¬ lee's Grove, teaching there in the year 1837, in a log cabin belonging to the Lester brothers.
On the. 18th day of June, 1835, Julia A. Dunklee Avas born—the first Avhite child born in the township. She became the wife of Fred¬ erick E. Lester.
In the year 1836, Conrad Fischer and his wife, Louise, nee Reinking, the parents of Hein¬ rich Diedrich, Avith their two sons, Friedrich J. and August, and three daughters, Louise, Wil¬ helmina and Caroline, left their native village of Estorf in the kingdom of Hanover, Germany.

Early Taverns.—The famous old tavern, known as the "Buckhorn," was opened in the year 1837, by Charles H. Hoit. It stood on the old Chicago and Galena stage road, two miles east of Salt Creek, on the farm now owned by Louis Luessenhof. A few years later two more taverns w-ere opened on the same road one just west of Salt Creek, where the village of Addison uoaa' is located. It AA'as kiiOAvn as the Salt Creek House. The other one, a mile east of the Salt Creek House on the Boroman place, on the hill on the south side of the road, was on the farm uoav OAvned by George A. Fischer. These taverns Avere w'ell patronized in the early days, until after the completion of the Chicago & Galena Union Railroad in 1848. Before that time all traffic between Chicago and Galena was over the stage road. The lead from the mines at Galena, the farm products and merchandise had to be hauled by teams, generally drawn by oxen.
It Avas about this time that the creek run¬ ning through the town receiA'ed its name. It is said that a teamster, named John Reid, Avhose business Avas hauling of lead from Galena to Chicago, on one of his return trips, was con¬ veying a load of salt, and in crossing the stream, got stucli in the mud. The water was so high that it flooded the load, and the salt melted before he could get help to pull it out. After that the stream Avas called Salt Creek.
The Germans in the township were mostly from Hanover and Prussia. Those Avho came from Hanover were Lutherans and those from Prussia were of the Reformed faith. Divine services Avere held as early as 1835. The people would assemble on Sundays at their homes, meet¬ ing at one place one Sunday, and at another place
