EARLY HISTORY OF WOODSTOCK
At the almost western boundary of Woodstock is a farm of thrift, where, in 1834, was the residence of Cornelius Millspaw, which was the first residence in what is now Woodstock, situated on the old Chicago road—as the Chicago road was the road of that day. It was a hotel—not such an hotel as we see in these days, oh, no! but far from it; and I fear if the modern traveler or- wayfarer of to-day should be no better accommodated than were those who sought its humble and unpretentious accommodations, the bystander might not form a very favorable opinion of the Christian fortitude and forbearance of the traveling public.
