“An Ancient Cemetery at the World’s Fair” (in Chicago, Illinois) from The Monumental News, September 1893.

Following are some excerpts from the article, which is available at the preceding link above:

“The burial customs of the ancient Peruvians are curiously illustrated in a section of an old graveyard which is to be seen in the Anthropological building at the World’s Fair…Not even the approximate date of their existence on the earth is known, but it must have been long centuries ago, for the graveyard of Ancon…was in existence before the Spaniards conquered Peru.

“Ancon is twenty-three miles from Lima…Three square miles of these sandy wastes are occupied by the ancient graveyard….”

“The collection of Ancon relics at the World’s Fair was made by Mr. George A. Dorsey, of the Archæological department. It is the largest collection of the kind in existence and includes the contents of 127 graves…”

“Relics from other Peruvian and Chilean graveyards are also shown in the Anthropological building, and it is gratifying to know that this exhibit will remain as a permanent feature of the museum to be established in Chicago after the Fair….”

“The 1895 Design Book of ‘Art Monuments’ published by E. C. Willison of Boston and Chicago is an elegantly gotten up volume of monumental designs. Mr. Willison has furnished the trade with a great many designs and has published more books of this description than any other granite manufacturer in the business and it is to his credit to say that he aims each time to create a new record. The 1895 book contains between sixty and seventy designs of every variety of monumental work reproduced from hand-made drawings in a most artistic manner. The designs are the work of competent monumental draftsmen who have succeeded in introducing many new and pleasing ideas into their work. An accompanying price list gives the sizes, estimated weight and prices in Quincy, Barre, Concord and Scotch granite. The collection is one that will be sure to please retail dealers.”

(“Factor uncovers the architectural mysteries of Knox College’s beloved Old Main. Knox College’s Old Main – a national landmark and the only extant building that was a site of the Lincoln-Douglas debates – is a campus treasure with a secret. Built in 1857, Old Main was designed by Charles Ulricson, a Swedish-born immigrant who was trained by Freemasons. In ‘Chapel in the Sky,’ Knox faculty member Lance Factor decodes the symbols of this beloved building and explores how an ardently anti-Mason administration came to hire Ulricson.”)

Location

“The minerals featured in this report were collected from five operating limestone quarries near the towns of Biggsville and Smithshire in Henderson County, Illinois, and near the towns of Dallas City, Hamilton and Plymouth in Hancock County, Illinois (Fig. 1). Both counties are bordered on the west by the Mississippi River. The cluster of localities will be referred to collectively as west-central Illinois (Fig. 2).

History

“The history of limestone use in west-central Illinois extends back to the time of early European settlement, beginning in the 1830’s. At that time, limestone was quarried as ‘dimension stone’ for use in constructing foundations for houses and other buildings. Because the stone was readily obtainable in flat slabs and, owing to its softness, was easily dressed, it was widely used for window sills and lintels, for exterior facings and as ornamental building stone….”

There are many quarries in the Des Plaines Valley mentioned in this book; the following is a list of quarries that include locations: (1) “...abandoned quarry at the lower end of ‘Flathead’ gives a good exposure of blue shales and shaly limestones; a quarry near Elmhurst; Fred Schultz’s quarry, at Lyons; the Lyons quarry; the quarry near Crystal run, north of Joliet; “…quarries about Joliet, though none of them are of striking proportions. One appears in the northeast corner of the quarry near Grinton and Jackson streets….”; the quarry west of the village (of Lemont); “…small quarry diggings a mile east of the Plainfield road, northwest of Joliet; many quarries in the Niagara limestone, in the Des Plaines valley, near Summit, Lyons, Lemont, Eomeo, Lockport, and Joliet….The following quarries, however, exhibit features of special interest: Elmliurst - Quarry a mile west of the station, on the north side of the Northwestern railway; Lyons - Fred Schultz’s quarry, in west part of village; Lockport - Ravine at Dellwood park; Joliet - (a) Gorge of Sugar creek; and “Abandoned pits and quarries in the Cincinnati formation, affording many fossils, may be found close to the north bank of the old Illinois-Michigan canal, four miles west of the city, and at the west end of Flathead mound, further down the valley.”)
