EARLY HISTORY OF WOODSTOCK
Catherine, long since dead, and Lucy, a resident of Jackson county.
The next house I came to in traveling west on the Chicago road was the cabin of Thomas McCourtie, on section eleven; he lived there a few years and finally settled on the same road, a little further west, on section nine.
He was a man of untiring industry, small in stature, but made up in energy what he lacked in ponderosity, and was successful in life; died at an advanced age, as did his worthy wife.
