Aralzeman Stanley, who resides on section 3, Grant
Township, is one of the honored pioneer settlers of the county, dating
his residence from the fall of 1836. Very few are left to relate the
story of frontier life in Lake County, Illinois, in that early day for
many have moved to other States, while others have departed this life.
The sketch of Mr. Stanley will therefore be all the more acceptable,
for hardly another citizen of the county can relate incidents of so
early a period. The family of which he is a member, was founded in
America during Colonial days, and his great-grandfather served in the
Revolutionary War. His father, Robert Stanley, was born in Hartford,
Connecticut, having attained to mature years, married Huldah King, a
native of that cit y. They removed to Erie County, N.Y., very soon
afterward, and Mr. Stanley worked Indian land on the Oneida
Reservation. He also owned a large maple orchard and engaged in the
manufacture of maple syrup. Their home seemed to be almost on the very
borders of civilization. Panthers had their lairs in the adjoining
swamps, and wild and unsettled was the neighborhood. In the fall of
1836, the family emigrated Westward by way of the Lakes to Michigan,
which State they crossed, and then took a boat to Chicago, which at
that time consisted of only a few log cabins on a wet prairie. They
first located in what is now Avon Township, where Mr. Stanley broke
land for Mr. Edwards. He then build a log house 16x24 feet with a
puncheon floor, on the peninsula southeast of Fox Lake. The land was
purchased from the Government. He had to pay twenty-five percent
interest on his money, and afterward lost the entire amount, one
hundred and sixty acres. Hardships and privations were their lot during
those earlier years. During the first winter, wolves made it dangerous
to venture unarmed away from home. The eldest son was once compelled
to make a trip, and for protection, he placed upon his sled a hogshead
in which he climbed. He was accompanied by a dog which kept the wolves
away from the cattle, and he called to the oxen from out the bunghole
and thus he escaped uninjured. The death of the mother occurred in
1851, after which Mr. Stanley was twice married. He lived to be
seventy-eight years of age, and died in Nebraska. He had four
children: Monroe, who lives on Nippersink Point with his brother,
Robert; Aralzeman, Frances Harriet, deceased wife of James Norton; and
Robert, who served in Company D, Ninety-sixth Illinois Infantry, and is
now living at Nippersink Point. Our subject, Aralzeman, was only four
years old when the family came to this county. He shared in the
hardships and privations of pioneer life in the days when the deep snow
would become crusted over so that men and animals could walk upon it.
Deer and wild game furnished the meat for the table, and almost their
only visitors were the Indians. The red men taught our subject, when a
boy, the way to fish through the ice, and to this occupation the family
looked in a great measure for their support. The children caught the
fish and the father hauled loads to Chicago when it would require three
days for the journey. They were in extremely limited circumstances,
and in winter time would lay straw upon the ice to keep their bare feet
from freezing. Such are some of the hardships which Mr. Stanley
underwent during his boyhood. When twenty-eight years of age, he
responded to his country's call for troops, enlisting in 1862 in
Company D, Ninety-sixth Illinois Infantry, which was organized in
Waukegan. He participated in the battles of Chicamauga and Lookout
Mountain, those of the Atlanta campaign, Dalton, Kenesaw Mountain and
Resaca, Georgia. At Chattanooga, the troops were nearly starved,
eating the corn which was given to the mules. At Reseca, Mr. Stanley
was wounded, one bullet made a hole through his hat, another tore his
blanket off his back, and his right leg was shot through. He was
carried to the hospital where gangrene set in, and he suffered all the
agonies possible. He was never able to rejoin his regiment and was
discharged in Indianapolis in 1865. On his return to Lake County, Mr.
Stanley, in 1867, was married to Miss Elizabeth S. Rix, a native of
McHenry County, and a daughter of Samuel and Marian (Smith) Rix. Her
father was of English birth and her mother was born in New York. Five
children grace the union of Mr. Stanley and his wife - Ora A.; Orville
L.; Dottie G., wife of Oscar Norton; Homer V.; and Fred R. Mr. Stanley
has made his home in Fox Lake since 1868. He increases his income by
serving as pilot upon the lakes and by hunting. He also receives a
small pension. In politics he is a Republican. He and his wife are
members of the Baptist Church, and by all who knew them are held in the
highest esteem. Their excellencies of character entitle them to this
universal regard. (Portrait and Biographical Album of Lake County,
