FUNNYSIDE "I SUGGEST ""VOU SLOW DOWN AND TAKE IT EASY FOR AWHILE." Looking Back CONFEDERATE PRISONERS IN ILLINOIS Although they may not have matched the Confeder­ acy's Andersonville in the hor­ rors of life or the frequency of death, the four prisons located in Illinois for captured enemy soldiers during the Civil War were especially unpleasant pi a ccs. Prisons were located at Camp Butler, near Springfield; Camp Douglas, in Chicago; a converted penitentiary in Alton; and a special facility built at Rock Island. - Some 2000 Confederate prisoners arrived at Camp But­ ler following Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's victory at Fort Donel- son, Tenn., and 1500 more as a result of Gen. Nathanial Pope's victory at Island No. 10, Missouri. Unsanitary condi­ tions and bad food contributed to epidemics of typhoid and erysipelas. There are 866 Con­ federate soldiers buried in the camp's cemetery as testimony lo the difficulties. Camp Douglas handled IH,000 captured men during the war, as many as 12,000 at one time. As in the other camps, the quantity of food was good but its quality was questionable.

ROUTE 120 (MCHENRY, ILL' Rock Throwing Incidents Back In County News Thursday, at 5:10 p.m., Jose Hernandez. Marengo, reported that while driving west on Rt. 176 and slowing for the stop sign at the intersection of Rt. 47, an object was thrown out from an approaching red pickup truck with two males in it. The object broke the wind­ shield. Hernandez turned arotind and pursued the truck, but lost it. Fortunately, no one was injured. Thursday at 5:35 p.m., John Jaidings, Marengo, reported that while driving to work at 8 a.m. on Rt. 20 near Union road, someone threw an object that broke his windshield. Jaidings believed the object was thrown from bushes along the side of the road. No one was injured. Heart Chairman federates at Camp were Sam Houston, Henry M. Stanley, famous African explorer. The weakened condition of the prisoners and the intense cold combined to claim the lives of 400 of 4000 new prisoners admitted in February, 1863, and to cause severe illness among 600 others. In spite of efforts to improve prison life, escape attempts were common. Most of them ended in failure, including the plot to free all Confederate prisoners in Illi­ nois in 1864. Escape proved easier from the Alton facility, the smallest and least important of the Illi­ nois prisons. The proximity of friendly territory across the river in Missouri, for example, encouraged a number of Rebels to escape in July, 1862, by cutting a tunnel through eight feet of cement and the soli J limestone foundation of the prison wall. ' The record of treatment of prisoners in Alton was relatively good, however. The fourth prison in Illinois, constructed at Rock Island in 1863, through continued addi­ tions soon became one of the largest in the North, and one of the most notorious. The facili­ ties were intensely over­ crowded by Confederates cap­ tured at Lookout Mountain and at Missionary Ridge. Tenn. Poor-quality food, intense cold, and insufficient medical aid were complicated by a severe outbreak of smallpox in Janu­ ary, 1864. The event contrib­ uted large numbers to the 2000 Confederate graves at Rock Is­ land by war's end. EDWIN KAELKE Edwin Kaelke of West Dundee has been renamed volunteer district Heart fund chairman for a three-county area of northeastern Illinois, it was announced by State Heart Fund Chairman Douglas Craddock of Springfield. Mr. Kaelke served with distinction in the same volunteer capacity during the 1976 campaign, said Craddbck. He will be responsible for 1977 Heart fund activities in Upper Kane, DeKalb and McHenry counties. Hanahan Leads Successful Fight To Fund Education Rep. Thomas J. Hanahan, D- McHenry, led a successful fight in the Illinois House this week to restore $12.53 million in funds for adults, the han­ dicapped and other students from families receiving public assistance. This amount had been cut from appropriations passed during the regular session of the General Assembly by gubernatorial vetoes. The Senate previously had ap­ proved restoration of the reductions, but its action would have been meaningless without House agreement. Thus, not only did Illinois provide a large number of troops, some of the most famous and effective generals, great amounts of wealth, as well as the wartime President himself to the victorious mili­ tary effort, it also housed four prison camps as reminders of the grim realities of the con­ flict itself/ Don't Tell Everybody Returning home early from a visit, Mrs. Bell found her hus­ band in the arms of the next-door neighbor.
