From the record

“IN the spring of 1832 the Black-Hawk War was a source of great alarm to the citizens of Canton. Major Isaiah Stillman, of Canton, in command of a battalion of volunteer infantry, was in the field, and had under him most of the young men of the community. On the 13th of May, 1832, the force under his command met with a defeat above Dixon, in Lee county, on what has since been known as " Stillman's Run," and the news soon reached Canton, coupled with the fact that Bird Ellis, Tyus Childs and John Walter, from the vicinity of Canton, had been killed, and a number of others from here wounded.”

The most cah\mitous period in the history of Liverpool township, or indeed of the eutire county, was the dreaded and fearful visitation of the Asiatic cholera in the year 1849.

Miscellaneous

The Vermont Library Association was organized in 1858, with a fund created by an association of the women of the place known as the Vermont Ijadies' Sewing Society, and a contribution of books by the ladies and gentlemen of the community. The institution prospered finely until the suffering contlition of the sick and wounded soldiers in the army during the late war rallied all the interests, sympathies and exercises of the women into the sanitary work for the soldiers' relief and comfort, when it was entirely neglected until years after the war closed.

May 2009FloodAvon1 killedPeriods of heavy rain between May 13 and May 16 resulted in near record river levels on much of the Spoon River. The gage at London Mills, IL recorded its third highest crest on record at 25.28 feet at 1445 CST on May 16th, which was more than 10 feet above flood stage. This was the highest crest since the major floods of July 1993. The gage at Seville, IL also recorded its third highest stage on record at 30.84 feet at 1430 CST on May 17th, which was nearly 9 feet above flood stage. This was the highest crest in 35 years. Sandbagging efforts at London Mills and Seville prevented property damage. A levee was breached about 2.6 miles west-northwest of the town of Blyton, IL. The breach was about 500 feet across at the levee, with the cone of damage consisting of tree debris and field erosion about 1/2 mile out and 1/2 mile across at the widest point. Two smaller levees also breached about two miles downstream. These breaches and the associated flooding closed a large partion of Illinois Route 9 and caused significant inundation of agricultural land. There was one fatality due to the flooding. A 45 year old man drove around a barricade into the floodwaters of the Spoon River about 1 mile southwest of London Mills and drowned around 1930CST on May 16th. His body was found on May 18th about 85 yards from where he entered the river.
May 2009FloodAvon1 killedPeriods of heavy rain on saturated soil resulted in extensive flooding in northern Fulton county, particularly in the vicinity of the upper Spoon River basin. Nearly every road was under water and impassible. A 46 year old woman died when she drove her car around a barricade and was swept into the Spoon River just north of the Fulton/Knox County line. She drowned in Fulton County around Midnight and was found in the Spoon River near London Mills.
May 1995Tornado (F4)Ipava to45 hurt, $6,000,000A tornado touched down 1 NE of Ipava and traveled to the northeast for seven miles, lifting and dissipating 2 NE of Lewistown. The tops of some high power line structures were broken off and 12 homes were destroyed. Numerous livestock were killed. Numerous cars and farm equipment were either damaged or destroyed. One car was thrown over a 100 yards into a farm field. Forty-five people sustained minor injuries, mainly from flying debris. Damage was estimated around $6 million.
April 2023Tornado (EF3)Ipava4 hurtA tornado touched down about 1 mile south of Ipava at 7:11 PM CDT. It tracked east-northeastward causing EF-1 level damage near the intersection of East Square Road and North Summum Road where several farm buildings and a home sustained damage. The tornado then curved northeastward and crossed the Spoon River Bottoms. Damage began increasing about 1.5 miles west of Lewistown near County Highway 14 where several houses and outbuildings were damaged along North Milton Road. The tornado increased in intensity, producing EF-3 damage just northwest of Lewistown where it crumpled a metal high tension transmission tower. It crossed State Highway 97 just northwest of the intersection with State Highway 100 and damaged numerous homes and farm buildings along State Highway 100 between North Grain Bin Highway and East Epworth Spring Road. The tornado blew down several power poles from this point northeastward to the southwest edge of Bryant. Much of the tornado damage within the town of Bryant was west of State Highway 100 between Ash Street and Elm Street...with damage east of State Highway 100 being caused by rear-flank downdraft winds of 70 to 100 mph. EF-3 tornado damage was observed about 1 mile southwest of Bryant near the intersection of State Highway 100 and North Wright Road where several houses were demolished. EF-3 damage was also noted 1 mile northeast of Bryant near the west end of East Hooty Road. Four injuries occurred in the Bryant area. The tornado continued northeastward, damaging trees and power lines west of Saint David and a home along West Hickory Street southwest of Canton. It dissipated about 2 miles southwest of Canton at 7:38 PM CDT.

April 2013Flash FloodBrereton$12,200,000Torrential rainfall of 4.00 to 8.00 inches resulted in damage to nearly 2000 houses in the county. Several homes had to be evacuated in the town of London Mills. Every creek and stream in the county was flooded, which damaged a few levees and culverts. Nearly every road in the county was impassable, and numerous water rescues were made. This rainfall lead to record or near record flooding on the Spoon River from April 18th through the 24th.
April 2013FloodBanner$3,600,000No homes were damaged by record levels of flooding on the Illinois River. However, thousands of acres of agricultural land and nature reserves were inundated by the flood waters. Several roads along the river were also damaged.

High impact flooding continued into the month of May 2013.
April 2013FloodLondon Mills$3,000,000Record flooding on the Spoon River damaged 40 houses in the towns of London Mills, Bernadotte and Seville. Multiple levees along the river broke, resulting in the inundation of thousands of acres of agricultural land, nature preserves and county roads. A levee at London Mills also broke, resulting on flash flooding in the town during the evening of April 18th through the 19th. ||At Seville, the river crested at a record level of 35.83 feet on April 20th, nearly 14 feet above flood stage, and almost 3 feet above the previous record.

A block down the road a house lost its roof and then as the tornado moved into the east side of town, the second story of a brick building was demolished. Across the street at the high school, a large garage was destroyed which damaged several vehicles. Also, the gymnasium sustained significant roof and water damage and the new press box and bleachers at the football stadium were destroyed. Damage at the high school was estimated around $400,000.
