Jesse Brooks Dille Illinois late 1800's
Jesse Brooks Dille was the head of a College at Dixon Ill. in the 1880's. Later he lived in Chicago.He is extremely important to all Dille and Dilley researchers because he visited many of the kin back then and took down their family data. We have notes in the Huston Dilley family (Gurnee,IL)from that era that he visited them. He was even invited to the family reunion held on the 4th of July.
Does anyone know what became of his papers ? I contacted his grandson some years ago and he didn't know. Some of these were copied by Thomas Ray Dille and apparently returned.
Anyone researching Dille or Dilley who lives in the Chicago area or in the Springfield,IL area, could you check some of the various manuscript collections ? Thank you to anyone who finds them.
