Founding of Washington County And A History Of The Courthouse
Information Acquired From
the Blue book, provided by the
Washington County Clerk
Washington County got its start
on Jan. 2, 1818 when the legislature for the Illinois Territory passed
an acting splitting what would
become Washington and Clinton
Counties from St. Clair County.
The same act founded Washington
County and appointed three commissioners, who met for the first
time on March 2, 1818 at the home
of James Bankson of Shoal Creek.
Initially, the County seat and
a contender for the capitol of Illinois was Covington, but in August
of 1818, Vandalia was selected as
the state capitol instead. In 1824,
the area today known as Clinton
County was separated from Washington County; since then the county’s boundaries have remained the
same, giving the county a total land
area of 565 square miles.
The county seat remained in
Covington until 1831. A new site
for the county seat was selected after Clinton County split off. A place
called Georgetown was designated
upon the Southwest Quarter, Section 17, in Nashville Township.
No buildings were built in
Georgetown and when court met,
finding nothing else to mark the
spot, they used a 40-foot tall pole.
Around the area that would become Nashville, there was considerable debate among those in the
east (Beaucoup) and the west (Elkhorn). Those who favored Nashville
did not have enough money to be
able to purchase the land from the
government.
Eventually, two men, Robert
Middleton and William G. Brown, of
St. Clair, were induced to purchase
the land.
In March of 1831, the town
was laid out, plotted and surveyed.
The commissioners, David White,
Joseph Whittenburg, and Livesay
Carter, declared it to be the “Permanent seat of justice of Washington
County.”
The three commissioners, natives of Tennessee named the town
New Nashville, with “New” being
dropped at a later time.
In June of 1831, the commissioners contracted with Thomas L.
Moore for the building of a courthouse. He constructed a frame
building which was in use through
1840.
On April 1, 1840, a new courthouse was contracted for the price
of $4,385. Built on the site of the
old courthouse, this structure was
used through 1883, when it was
destroyed by fire.
In October of 1883, a special
meeting of the Board of Supervi-
The Washington County Courthouse, shown here in a drawing made in 1908,
was built in 1884. It still stands today, with additions made to it in 1965. Below, the new Judicial Center, under construction and the proposed completed
building.
sors led to the contracting of a new
courthouse by A. Hallenback for
$23,999. This building was completed in 1884; it is the courthouse
of Washington County used today.
In 1965, additional space was
added to the front of the building.
The symmetrical design follows that
of the original building, with a sandfaced brick selected to match the
original bricks used.
In 2012, the County Board approved the construction of a new
judicial center which is across the
street from the courthouse, which
will still be in use following the new
building’s completion.
This new building is estimated
to be completed in 2014.

Small Town Police Officers Handle Variety Of Tasks
“A small town police officer does a lot of things,” said Nashville
Police Chief Brian Fletcher.
Nashville is served by a police department led by Fletcher that
includes a lieutenant, five full-time officers and three part-time
officers.
Fletcher has 12 years of law enforcement experience, starting
as a deputy with the Washington County Sheriff’s Department
in 2000. He moved to the Nashville Police Department in 2002,
and was promoted from lieutenant to police chief in July 2010.
The department provides 24/7 protection to the community,
performing a variety of tasks.
“We basically do everything in law enforcement,” he said. That
includes basic patrols, investigations, city ordinance violations and
traffic control. Officers also respond to emergency medical calls and
to fires, and are sometimes called out for animal complaints.
“We are here to help and serve as best we can,” the chief said.
The officers are assisted by Diego, a male German Shepherd
that became the department’s first K-9 dog in 2010. The dog is
trained to sniff out drugs and can be used for tracking lost persons
or fleeing suspects and for handler protection.
While the crime rate is extremely low in Nashville, there are
plenty of calls to keep the department busy.
Fletcher said domestic disputes occupy much of his officers’
time, and while home burglaries are rare, there are a number of
thefts from vehicles.
Motor vehicle accidents and other traffic complaints are another major component of the job.
The police department also conducts a number of community
service projects during the year.
They include presentations on drug awareness and prevention

at local schools, bicycle safety courses and safety programs for

The department also participates in the annual Shop With A Cop
in which officers take underprivileged children Christmas shopping.
The department also assists with the annual Washington County
Relay For Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

Nashville Fire Department Volunteers Cover A Large District
The 30 volunteer firefighters that comprise Nashville Volunteer
Fire Dept. provide effective protection for a large district that
encompasses 150 square miles.
Fire Chief Alan Hohlt is a full-time employee who supervises
highly trained volunteers who answer many different calls using
eight vehicles.
Hohlt brings decades of experience to the job. He joined
the fire department in 1978 and
has served as chief
since 1994.
He and his fellow firefighters are
called to structure
and vehicle/farm
equipment fires,
motor vehicle accidents and rescues
and grass, field
and refuse fires.
The department
also provides mutual aid to neighboring fire districts and offers assistance to police and ambulance
crews.
In 2011, the department answered 148 calls. That number varies, as does the amount of property damage. In 2006, for example,
184 calls were answered with over $1.8 million in estimated
property damage.
Volunteers must be trained as state certified firefighter II. They
also learn auto extrication techniques and one third of the department has been taught the proper methods of handling hazardous
materials.
“We do a lot of training,” Hohlt said. “The Illinois Fire Service
Institute comes here for classes several times a year, and we do a
lot of drills.”
The department is prepared to handle a wide variety
of emergencies.
Pre-planning has
been done on all
downtown business buildings, industries and local
schools which includes floor plans,
gas and electric
shut-offs, locations
of any hazardous
materials that
might be onsite
and the location
of the nearest fire
hydrants.
“We review these plans on a regular basis so everyone is familiar
with them,” he said.
Community involvement is another aspect of the fire department. Firefighters regularly visit kindergartens and pre-school classes
to give safety demonstrations during Fire Prevention Week.
“And we always have tours of Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts and
classes from school coming through,” he added.

Ambulance Service Provides Emergency
Care To Washington County
Washington County Ambulance Service serves the entire
564 square miles of Washington County.
John Felchlia has been administrator since October 2004
and first joined the ambulance service as a paramedic in May
1998.
He is in charge of eight full-time paramedics and 25 parttime personnel who provide around-the clock emergency
services 365 days a year.
The ambulance service has three fully equipped ambulances, two of which are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a
week. A third unit is held in reserve, and part-time personnel
are called in, if the other two are in service at the same time,
Felchlia said.
The ambulances are equipped with the latest in life-saving
technology and equipment. For example, field data on heart
attack patients can be transmitted to hospital emergency
room physicians who can confirm the possible diversion of
the ambulance to a hospital with cardiac cath lab capabilities,
thus saving time by bypassing other hospitals.
Personnel are trained to operate this complex equipment,
which adds to their life-saving capabilities.
The service’s primary duty is to provide 911 emergency
responses on a variety of calls, ranging from motor vehicle
accidents to persons who have fallen ill.
They also do transfers of patients between hospitals and
respond to all structure fires in the county to provide medical
C
service to firefighters and fire victims.
The service also provides non-emergency transport and a
wheelchair service for people who need rides to doctor’s appointments. Personnel also stand by at local football games.
The ambulance service also is involved in a number of
community activites. Felchlia said personnel conduct CPR
and first aid classes and trains first responders for area fire
departments.
Shelly Kolweier is the secretary.

Nashville Public Library
In 1878, the city fathers of Nashville, petitioned the Secretary of State to form a corporation, which was designated the
Nashville Library Association. However, it wasn’t until the early
1900s that the people of Nashville had a central location where
they could borrow books.
In 1923, the Women’s Club officially opened a library for
leisure reading in what was the former Nashville City Hall. In
1943, Nashville’s taxpayers passed a referendum to support the
library with taxes and the library was moved to the building
which once had been the city jail. In 1962, the library board
bought the J.P. Carter residence on Kaskaskia Street for use as
the library. The residence, which was built in the Italianate style
at the end of the Civil War, served as the library building for the
next 30 years. However, in 1992, the City of Nashville purchased
the Veterans of Foreign Wars building at 219 East Elm Street (the
present location), and remodeled the building.
In 2006, the library’s Board of Trustees, with the help of Nashville City Council, began planning to expand the library building. A grant for $125,000 from the Illinois State Library’s Live
and Learn Construction Grant program was awarded to the library. The grant was matched and expanded by the Nashville City
Council. Image Architects of Carbondale designed the facility and
Johannes Construction of Centralia was hired to build the addition and remodel the former building. Groundbreaking started in
March 2007 and the work was completed in January 2008.
The current library contains over 6,000 square feet and houses a
collection of approximately 20,000 books, videos, and audio books.
In 2008, the Nashville Public Library expanded its technology
services, and joined the Southern Illinois Network (SILNET) with
its online catalog. This service enables library patrons to access the
library catalog from any computer with Internet capability, borrow
materials from over 100 libraries, and have the materials delivered
to the Nashville library for pickup. In addition to the online catalog,
the library’s public access computers offer Internet access and software such as Microsoft Office Professional 2007 (containing Excel,
Power Point, Access, Publisher, etc.).
The library also has a copier, fax machine, and two microfilm
reader/printers available for public use at a fee. During the summer
of 2008, wireless Internet was also added to the library, allowing the
public to use their personal laptops throughout the building.
The library updated its library website at www.nashville.lib.
il.us. The site includes a calendar of events, Friends of the Library information, children and youth activities and Board of
Trustees listing, plus many resources and research sites.
Under the current direction of Mrs. Linda Summers, the library staff offers assistance to patrons from Mondays through
Thursdays from 12 to 8 p.m., Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The nine-member Board of Trustees, under the leadership of Rod
Ibendahl, oversees library policies, building maintenance, operations, and finances. Board meetings take place on the first Tuesday
of each month, with the exceptions of August and December.
The Friends of the Nashville Public Library are vital to the library’s programming and fundraising efforts. Friends assist with
children’s programs, sponsor informative programs in the library,
organize and run periodic book sales, and write book review columns for the local newspaper. Meetings take place the third Saturday of each month, except for June, July and December.
For more information, the library may be reached at (618)

Nashville High School
The administrators, faculty, and staff of Nashville Community High
School (NCHS) in Nashville, IL are proudly committed to building excellence in the minds and hearts of their students through varied learning
opportunities centered on academics, civic service, and personal responsibility.
NCHS recognizes that academics is an integral part of student development and prides itself on the fact that approximately 90% of its seniors
pursue post-secondary education. Offering a range of courses including
college-ready, core curriculum, vocational, fine arts, honors, and dual credit.
NCHS is devoted to intertwining beneficial traditional learning approaches
with current research-based differentiated instruction. The administration,
faculty, and staff is dedicated to learning and using effectively the wealth
of 21st century state-of-the-art technology as evidenced by the school’s
SmartBoards, e-readers, six computer labs, digital camera devices, and
Auto-cad programming. Also, parents can access information regarding
their son or daughter’s grades, attendance and discipline through the
district’s web-based Skyward system. Within the classrooms, students
participate in learning projects such as the Illinois World War II Veterans
Project, the International Book Sharing Project, Physical Fitness testing in
the physical education classes, webpage design in Desktop Publishing,
European travel in the Spanish language program, and musical arrangement and performance in Popular Music. In addition to these classroom
projects, students continue to hone their skills and knowledge in statetested areas and demonstrate their successes each April when they take
the Prairie State Achievement Exam (PSAE). The most current PSAE results
show that NCHS scores in the top 15% of all high schools in the state.
Academics extend beyond the classroom at NCHS where students are
challenged to embrace their academic learning in opportunities such as
the IDEA Drafting competitions, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA)
conferences, Scholar Bowl meets, Olympiad Team, Worldwide Youth in
Science and Engineering (WYSE) contests and the music program where
the band is currently ranked in the top 10% of all Illinois Class B schools.
NCHS excels in these academic forums, such as Olympiad’s six-year state
competition run and the WYSE Team’s consistent regional wins. In addition, the school hosts a Fine Arts Festival with participation from students
at NCHS as well as other Washington County schools.
NCHS believes that learning is holistic and therefore balances academic
learning opportunities with activities and organizations that promote Civic
Service. A goal at NCHS is to remind students that they are not isolated
from their communities, but they are, in fact, what makes their communities so special. Students are given the opportunity to participate in various
school organizations including Student Council activities, which raises
money for the American Cancer Society and Cystic Fibrosis Research,
FFA which promotes leadership, personal growth, career success and
many community service opportunities including stocking the local food
pantries, and National Honor Society, which requires community service
learning hours earned through numerous volunteer activities including
those such as the annual Nashville Fall Festival. NCHS students embrace
these opportunities to give back to their communities that support
NCHS.
NCHS understands that personal responsibility is essential in positive
student development and provides students with opportunities to develop maturely and responsibly on extracurricular teams and in organizations.
NCHS students dedicate themselves to becoming physically and mentally
stronger in a myriad of competitive sports and have built a tradition of
conference and post-season success, including frequent participation in
the state tournament series. Students choose also to participate in clubs
and organizations such as Lifesavers, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes,
the Drama Club, and the Yearbook Staff. As NCHS students participate in
these growth opportunities, they build communities of trust and learn
through their involvement that they are responsible for each other’s
achievements and together portray the successes of NCHS.
Nashville Community High School faculty are dedicated to continual
self-growth and development in the profession of teaching with 25% of
certified staff recognized with the distinguished and advanced National
Board Certification in addition to the required Illinois certification, and
another 18% currently working toward achieving
this special certification. NCHS is committed to
excellence, and its successes are evidenced in the
academic and personal successes of its students as
they develop into life-long learners who will build
positive communities and a better world. For more

Nashville Grade School, Where Children Come First
Nashville Community Consolidated District 49 is a pre-kindergarten through 8th grade district at 750 East Gorman Street in Nashville.
Grades K-4 are housed in the primary school, while grades 5-8 and
the pre-K program are down the hall in the middle school.
The district serves 580 students starting with at-risk 3 and 4 year-olds
in the early childhood pre-kindergarten program, and then sends its 8th
grade graduates to Nashville Community High School District 99.
State test scores from third through eighth grade consistently show
that students meet or exceed state standards at the 80th percentile
and higher. District 49 attributes that success to a commitment to keeping class sizes
around 20 students or even lower, a variety
of small group instructional strategies, and
an extensive list of parental volunteers.
The district has a Response to Intervention
(RTI) reading program that has proven to be
very successful. Principal Chuck Fairbanks
along with a very active, caring staff have
worked hard at putting together a program
that targets the specific reading deficiencies
of each individual student. The RTI team
then organizes a structured plan for each
student that is implemented in small group and one-to-one instructional settings.
District 49 works in coordination with the Kaskaskia Special
Education District 801 for students that require a little more tender
loving care. KSED is a great partner in helping determine what type
of individualized education program is appropriate for each needy
student.

school site in 2005, and the middle school campus was updated
during the construction.
A very active Parent/Student Organization (PSO) continuously
provides educational and entertaining activities for all students.
Assemblies, fundraisers, field trips and classroom supplies are just
some of the activities and materials provided by the PSO.
Students on the primary school side are treated monthly to a
non-detention activity to reward good behavior. Middle school
students are treated quarterly. And each grade level takes at least
one field trip to sites including the St. Louis
Zoo, Cahokia Mounds, Powell Symphony
Hall, the Lincoln Museum and other historical sites in Springfield, and one lucky group
gets to attend a St. Louis Cardinals baseball
game during the school day.
The middle school offers many different
extracurricular activities for 6th through 8th
grade students including baseball, softball,
basketball, cheerleading, volleyball, track,
cross country, scholar bowl, student council,
and dance team. The Little Hornet Football
Club is not affiliated with the school, but
offers students the opportunity to participate in football as well.
“The focus is on kids,” said Superintendent Brent O’Daniell. “We
strive to maintain a climate conducive to learning, but also a feeling
of family. Every child is special to us, and we do all we can to make
them feel comfortable, and a part of something that we hold dear
and believe is very special.”

church and was established in 1974.
The preschool provides a nondenominational Christian
oriented curriculum. Each Wednesday, children learn a basic
Bible lesson, complete with a chosen craft activity.
At Happy Days Preschool, the goal is to provide a safe, nurturing and educational environment, which will stimulate
the intellectual, social,
emotional and physical growth of young
students. Happy Days
Preschool is licensed by
the Illinois Department
of Children and Family
Services, and abides by
their rules and regulations. State and local
health, fire and licensing officers routinely
inspect the program.

tax-based,
therefore,
there is a monthly tuition. Tuition assistance
has been available in
the past few years, and
all are welcome to apply
for assistance.
The beginning of preschool for a child is the beginning of
their academic career. Studies have shown that a child that
enjoys school is more successful in school.
“We would love to help you and your family start your
child’s academic career successfully. We would love to welcome you into the Happy Days Preschool family,” a spokesperson said.

The Washington County Historical Society’s (WCHS) next
project is the restoration of Nashville’s old L&N Railroad Depot.
For many years, the old depot has slowly slipped into the
hands of ruin, leaving it looking abandoned and forlorn. The
WCHS will put into action their plan to restore the weathered and
paint chipped exterior, up-dates are new interior walls, flooring,
plumbing, wiring, heating/cooling, and a new fence running the
length of the property between the depot and railroad tracks for
safety purposes.
The plan also includes sufficient space on the inside of the
building for a business office and an exhibit area for visitors to
view historic items pertaining to trains and railroad items collected throughout the county.
Once a bustling depot, it was instrumental in bringing many
of the German and Polish immigrants who settled throughout
the county.
The WCHS Board welcomes members and county residents
to help with this project if they have an interest in assisting with
the depot restoration, trains, railroad, and of course, interesting
stories.
Anyone wishing to learn more about this project are welcome
to attend the monthly meetings held at the Washington County
Historical Museum at 236 S. Kaskaskia, Nashville, on the first
Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. Come on out and join us
to learn more about this true historical landmark and bring it
back to a condition we all can be proud to exhibit.

Community Center Of Nashville: Look How Far We Have Come
In 2004, a small group of community-oriented citizens had a
dream of turning the old grad
school into a vital activity building
for the community. After nearly
a year of campaigning for donations and pledges the funds were
raised and the former school was
purchased. The building officially
changed hands in March 2005.
The Community Center of
Nashville (CCN) is a not-forprofit organization that operates
by fundraisers and donations
from individuals and businesses
of the community. The CCN does
not receive any tax funding. The
Community Center is governed
by a Board of Directors. The directors are: Bob Miller, president; Jeff
Rabenort, vice-president; Chris
Frerker, co-treasurer; Randy Reuter,
co-treasurer; Michael Kollbaum,
Bill Gibson, Rene Lewis, Keith Heiman, Kurt Elsesser, Phil May, Cissy
Patton, Rhett Renken, Amy Knepp.
Day-to-day operations are overseen
by Executive Director Kathy McKinney.
That dream has become a reality.
The Community Center of Nashville is a “happening place” with
activities for kids, adults and the
community.
The mission of the Community
Center of Nashville is to strengthen
and unite the community by providing exceptional programs and
facilities that promote the participation of individuals, families,
businesses, and groups from all
backgrounds. The Center serves
Washington County and the surrounding areas through its many
capacities. One such function is
renting space to businesses and
local civic and religious groups to
use for individual events or on an
ongoing basis. We rent space for
businesses or community services
agency to provide services to the
community.
Another role the center plays is
as a programmer of events for many
age groups. Some of the events held
at the Community Center over the
past six years have been: Dinner &
Entertainment, Donkey Basketball,
Fish Fry, Jazz Festival, Elvis Impersonator, Senior Circle, Art Classes,
Polka Party, Halloween Bash, Volleyball League, 3 on 3 Basketball
Tournament, Battle of the Bands,
Trivia Night, Christmas Bazaar &
Home, Lawn, & Garden Expo.
Upcoming events that are held
every year are: Bridal Expo, Business
Expo, Senior Fair, Benefit Dinner
& Auction, Chicken & Dumpling
Dinner, Job Fair, Red Cross Blood
Drives, Kids Summer Programs,
Halloween Carnival, Wine Tasting, Breakfast with Santa, Youth
Basketball Leagues, Indoor Soccer
Leagues, Community Yard Sale,
Weight Watchers meeting, Fitness
Classes, Karate Classes and Yoga
Classes.
The features that come with the
old school (cafeteria/kitchen, gym,
etc.) make us well-suited for the
roles we play in the community
events held by other individuals or
organizations like: birthday parties,
family and class reunions, wedding
receptions, bridal and baby showers, Girl Scout meetings, pitching
lessons, Cub Scouts Pinewood
Derby, business meetings, banquets, workshops and trainings. We
have different size rooms available
to rent for your upcoming event.
In the winter months or rainy
weather the center is open for citizens wishing to utilize the gym as
an indoor walking area. The Center
is also designated as a Red Cross
Emergency Shelter.
In the summer months the
center is the hub of activities in
the gym, cafeteria and garden for
the Kids Summer Program. This
year’s activities are: Fitness, Karate,
Gardening, Cooking and Baking
Classes, Gardening Dinner, Musical
Drama, and Field Trip. It will be a
fun filled summer.
Many improvements have been
made to the building to provide a
more functional and pleasing facility.
Some of the major changes are:
we have exchanged the old boiler
system of heating to high-efficiency
zoned forced air systems for heating
and air conditioning; repaired the
gym ceiling and added baffles and
acoustics panels, and painted the
gym; added a concession area and
painted the banquet room (cafeteria); repaired the parking lot and
painted many of the rooms.
“We are always looking to
provide services and events for the
community, iIf you have some ideas
of needed services and programs
or would like to help with existing
programs, contact the Community
Center office at 618-327-8663 or
email ccn455@sbcglobal.net.

7 years with the support of a caring
giving community.

This is how "church" should be done.
Why not give it a try?
Some morning worship times are cures for insomnia. If that's your idea of what church on Sunday
is all about, come visit with us at The Healing Place. Nothing artificial, nothing forced -- simply a
place where the people are in love with God and ready to let their joy show. Come casual if you
want, but come see what happens when "church" isn't boring anymore.

Washington County Fair Association
The Washington County Fair was organized in August of 1944
with the purpose of sponsoring and conducting an agricultural
fair for the improvement of livestock, poultry, and farm products
and for educating the youth of the county for an agricultural environment.
A corporation, the Washington County Fair Association, is operated by a board of officers consisting of
a president, vice president, secretary/treasurer, a board of directors and a board of
governors.
The first fair was held in Ashley. From
there it moved to the Nashville City Park.
In 1948, the association purchased acreage
south of Nashville, now included within the
city limits where the fair is currently held.
Grandstand events featured are the Illinois Tractor Pull Association (ITPA) sanctioned pulls, and a tractor pull for county
residents only. Classes include antique, prostock, hot farm, farm stock, super stock with
blower and no-blower tractors. This provides entertainment with
loud noise and black smoke.
Also featured in the grandstand are demolition derbies held on
two nights during the fair week with cars and mini cars. Participants need to follow rules and regulations for entering these races.
Small fires and loud noises occur during the races for excitement.
We value our customers.
They are the life force of
our business.

Farm Bureau and Cooperative Extension
—Past and Present—
The Early Days
One of the great recent
a d va n c e s i n Wa s h i n g t o n
County agriculture is the organization of Farm Bureau,
and founding of the Cooperative Extension Service.
Illinois Extension activities
began in La Salle and Dekalb
Counties when in 1912, 300
f a r m e r s c o n t r i b u t e d $ 10
each to employ a University of Illinois agriculture
graduate to help them apply college research to their
farms. The Smith-Lever Act
in 1914 enabled Land Grant
Universities to employ qualified people to work with all
farmers and homemakers,
utilizing research findings
to help achieve a better way
of life.
Interest in Farm Bureau in
Washington County started
in the 1923-1925 era, when
farmers in the eastern part of
the county saw the organization already active in Jefferson County. The late Martin
Schaeffer from the Hoyleton
area had also seen early Farm
Bureau activities in other Illinois counties through his
employment with a phosphate company.
Schaeffer, being strongly
education-oriented, contacted the Jefferson County
farm adviser, and asked for
membership blanks.
Sensing the interest in
Wa s h i n g t o n C o u n t y, J . R .
Williams, IAA District Organization Director, and
the Jefferson County farm
adviser Loyd Caldwell, visited Schaeffer. About the
same time, H.B. Symons of
Ashley visited the Jefferson
County Farm Bureau office
for information on poultry
and dairy feeding. Symons
was impressed, and joined
the Jefferson County Farm
Bureau in mid-1925. This
may have made him the first
Washington County farmer
to become a Farm Bureau
member. Martin Schaeffer
reportedly became the second member to join in Jefferson County, and Gustav
A. Koelling was the third.
Later, about 50 Hoyleton
area farmers joined, with
the understanding that their
membership would transfer to Washington County
should a local Farm Bureau
be organized.
Washington County was
given two membership spots
on the Jefferson County Farm
Bureau Board. George Hake
and Sam Cooper filled these
positions. Mr. Hake was a
delegate to the IAA annual
meeting in Urbana in January, 1926.
T h e f i r s t Wa s h i n g t o n
County Farm Bureau meeting
was held August 3, 1926, 312
members had been signed
and each township elected a
director. A caucus was held,
and these directors elected:
Nashville - Ferd Schleifer;
Hoyleton - George Hake;
Beaucoup - Homer Jack;
Ashley - D.W. Dawkins; Richview - Bert Pitchford; Plum
Hill - Ed McLaughlin; Johannisburg - Emil Lammers;
Oakdale - James R. Hood;
O k aw v i l l e - L o u i s O c h s ;
Covington - John Groennert;
Pilot Knob - Amos Lyons; Irvington - Paul Beckmeyer.
The new board elected the
following officers: James R.
Hood, President; George J.
Hake, Vice-President; and
D.W. Dawkins, Secretary Treasurer. They were the first
officers of the Washington
County Farm Bureau.

Washington County Hospital: 50 Years Of A Healthy Community
Over 50 years ago, Washington County Hospital residents expressed their heartfelt concerns: “Don’t let a
loved one be 20 minutes too
late! Don’t let the hospital be
20 miles too far!” Life is precious, and since minutes and
distance count, thus began the
history of Washington County
Hospital: delivering quality
healthcare close to home, providing the personal attention
our families deserve.
Washington County Hospital is celebrating its 50th
year of providing medical care
for the residents of our community and is very proud of
our history of strong community support.
The hospital was originally
made possible by a bequest
in 1958 from Fred W. Reuter
which outlined his desire for a
district hospital to care for residents of Washington County.
The original flyer developed for the citizens of the
county stated “the need for
the hospital is urgent and im-
mediate – there are no hospital beds in our county and the
difference between life and
death may be minutes and not
hours.”
We believe this critical
purpose persists today, that
Washington County Hospital
has become an essential part
of the infrastructure of our
community and a vital part
of our economy and remains
strong because of the support
of local residents. To keep the
hospital strong, community
residents need to continue to
support healthcare services locally whenever possible.
The land for the new hospital on Grand Avenue was
donated by the Watts family.
Large community donations
and pledges were instrumental in supporting the efforts to
have a hospital for the community in Nashville, and this
community support remains
key to the ongoing success of
Washington County Hospital.
In February of 1960, the
hospital district was autho-
rized which included 13 local townships, nine of whom
petitioned out of the district
for tax fears, leaving four local townships to support the
hospital: Beaucoup, Nashville,
Oakdale and Pilot Knob.
A governing board of directors for the hospital was appointed by the County Judge,
and community fund-raising
efforts provided the funds to
begin construction of the hospital.
In April of 1961, ground
breaking ceremonies were
held and construction of the
community district hospital
began. The hospital auxiliary
was organized in August of
1961 with 265 members and
began its work of fundraising to support the hospital
construction and capital purchases. The hospital auxiliary
remains today as an essential
contributor to the hospital,
both financially and through
their community efforts.
The Washington County
Hospital opened its doors to
patients in December of 1962
with 36 beds and one room for
care of Emergency patients.
The high volume of patients
necessitated adding more beds
in March of 1970, and the
East Wing added another 36
beds and was dedicated to Dr.
Charles Longwell. This expansion, costing $735,000, was
once again funded by citizen
donations and pledges from
the community.
Ancillary services have
been added over the years and
maintained to provide current
diagnostic technology and
technical services for patients.
In September of 1997, the
hospital funded a $1 million
construction project to expand
physical therapy and rehabilitation services, provide a community education room and a
deck for skilled care patients.
In 2001, an HVAC upgrade
and total renovation of the
Emergency Room was completed at a cost of $2,150,000
and funded by an USDA loan.
This allowed for a two-bed

care room, two examination
rooms and four-bed Observation area for Emergency care,
providing life sustaining care
for patients during times of crisis. WCH’s latest upgrade was
the purchase of a new Digital
Mammography unit, again
with generous donations from
residents through the capital
equipment drive.
Today, Washington County
Hospital is designated as a Critical Access Hospital with 22
acute beds, currently under renovation, and 28 long-term care
beds, providing care to the elderly. Washington County Hospital continues to provide care

This commitment involves investing in the employees, technology and equipment and in
designing programs that meet

and Pamela Lowery, ANP.
The clinic is open from 7:30
a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and morning hours on Saturday to meet
the needs of the community.
In addition to these services,
Washington County Hospital
partners with area physicians
to provide outpatient specialty

cardiologists Philip Apprill,
M.D. and Erik Funk, M.D.; podiatrist Thomas Kirisits, DPM;

The Nashville News: From 1934 To Today, A History Of Excellence
In the depths of the
Great Depression, 1934, Ed
Schmitt began The Nashville News. Since then, The
News has been the paper
of record for Nashville and
Washington County.
Schmitt, a 20-year veteran of the Nashville Journal, started The News when
The Journal was sold to Joe
Campbell, son of the State
Democratic
Committee
chairman. This was a disappointment to Nashville’s
Republican leaders, who
approached Schmitt about
starting a Republican paper.
After Schmitt and his wife,
Elsie withdrew their savings
and borrowed money, they
entered into the newspaper
business for themselves,
competing with The Journal.
During the years of the
depression both advertising
rates and $1-per-year subscriptions were scarce. The
Schmitts’ bank account was
soon overdrawn.
“We just sweated it out,”
Schmitt said.
As time went on, the area’s German language papers died out. In 1961, The
Journal followed them and
folded.
In 1979, after changes in
paper format and the rise
offset printing in the newspaper industry, Ed and Elsie
decided to retire.
The paper was sold to
Rich and Connie Tomaszewski on May 1, 1979. Ed
Schmitt was 83 years old
and had served as editor
and publisher for 45 years.
The Tomaszewskis oversaw The Nashville News’
conversion to offset printing
shortly after they purchased
the paper. The second issue
under the Tomaszewskis
was the paper’s first offset
issue.
The Tomaszewskis owned the paper through October of 2007, when Family
Media, Inc. of Miami, Okla.
purchased the paper. The
Above: The storefront of The
Nashville News today. Right:
The linotype machine used to
lay out the paper for years.
Tomaszewskis retired after
selling the paper.
Today, the paper is
owned by Chuck Neal, one
of the Family Media Partners. 2014 will mark the
80th year of publication for
The Nashville News.

Public Transportation Is Here For You!
Did you know that South Central Transit is the I.D.O.T.
designated public transportation provider for Washington
County and has proudly been offering services within the
city limits of Nashville since January of 1999?
In October of 2010 SCT was awarded a grant by the U.S.
Administration on Aging, the IL Department on Aging and
the Area Agency on Aging of Southwestern Illinois to provide
subsidized transportation fares for seniors (60+) residing in
Washington County.
This means the senior citizens of Washington County can
ride with SCT anywhere in the county for a small suggested
donation. These services are demand response and do require advanced scheduling.
Last month SCT provided more than 1500 rides to people
of all ages in Nashville and throughout Washington County.
Last November SCT experienced record beaking ridership by
providing more than 40,000 rides throughout the six county
service area. Helping individuals get to meal sites, medical
appointments, shopping, school and work are just a few examples of where SCT can take you. SCT would like to emphasize that you don’t have to be a senior citizen to ride our
busses – we serve all ages. Military personnel/Veterans and
clients with disabilities are now eligible for discounted fares
with proper identification.
For the past 2 years South Central Transit has offered a
shuttle route between Centralia and Mt. Vernon with scheduled stops in Irvington, Richview, Ashley and Woodlawn M-F
from 6:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. four times daily. This represents
one of SCT’s recent efforts to help meet the transportation
NASHVILLE
PHARMACY
needs of the rural population. Future plans are to incorporate a link to Nashville with this existing shuttle route. Advanced scheduling is not required to access shuttle routes.
South Central Transit also serves the counties of Clinton,
Marion, Jefferson, Franklin and Perry. A complete listing of
routes, schedules and service hours for SCT can be viewed
at www.southcentraltransit.org or by calling the scheduling
office at 800-660-7433.
Presentations regarding SCT’s services can be arranged by
contacting Sherri Bassen, Marketing Director/Public Relations, at 618-532-8076 or via email at sbassen@southcentraltransit.org.

2013 Chamber Volunteer Of The Year Dan Heggemeier
The Chamber Of Commerce elected Dan Heggemeier as
their Volunteer Of The Year for 2013. Heggemeier follows notable past volunteers of the year, including Carole Moeller,
Rick Harris, Lloyd Karmeier, Ron Ogrzewalla, Bob Schaltenbrand and many others.
The Chamber of Commerce general membership voted on
Heggemeier after hearing the letter of nomination written for
him.
“Dan Heggemeier has volunteered countless hours to many
organizations over numerous years,” said Chamber Director
Kerri Huge, reading one of these nominating letters, “including, but not limited to: The Lions Club of Nashville, American
Legion of Nashville, Food Pantry of Irvington, the Washington
County Fair, and St. Paul United Church of Christ.”
Another letter commented on his work managing the Legion Bar, a volunteer job, “In my opinion, he has kept the Legion up and running by doing this.
The identities of the people who wrote the nominating
letters were not revealed, but their thoughts on Heggemeier’s
volunteerism were clear.
“I’m honored, but I didn’t accept it for a little bit. I had to
think about it; my wife said, ‘You have to,’” said Heggemeier.
“I don’t do it for thanks. How can I stand up here and say, ‘I do
this,’ ‘I do that,’ It’s like you’re gloating or something. That was
the problem for me, how to accept it.”
While reluctant to accept the award itself, Heggemeier was
looking forward to the Chamber’s Volunteer of the Year Dinner though.
Heggemeier may have regretted that though when the ban-

Brad “Bo” Meyer took the stage and put Heggemeier into the
hot seat for a good-natured ribbing.
Meyer told a number of stories about Heggemeier, gathered from friends and family. One such story had Dan alerting
the police to suspected marijuana growers, only to discover
those that he had reported were DEA agents.
In the end though, the event was to honor, not ridicule
Heggemeier. Meyer spoke on a number of Heggemeier’s volunteer efforts, be they with the Lions, the VFW, the American
Legion, the Irvington Food Pantry, or his church, St. Paul’s
UCC.
Meyer also read a letter that Patrick Harper, a former student in Heggemeier’s church youth group had written.
“Dan’s honesty, his humility, his faith, and his friendship, permeated every interaction with him….We were all
better people because of these Wednesday nights during high
school,” stated Harper
Heggemeier took the stage and returned a bit of the ribbing, offering jabs at Meyer and others, as well as poking a
little more fun at himself.
After a few jokes though, Heggemeier said that looking
around the room, he saw many lifelong volunteers.
“You guys, everybody is volunteers. How you pick one out
of a crowd is impossible,” Heggemeier said. “We all have to
volunteer, and we can’t rely on the government. As a small
town, it keep’s Nashville going.”

The Day They Shot County Sheriff May
The story is the type that makes for a
good Country and Western ballad. The best
part is it’s all true.
It concerns a unique bit of Washington
County history, recollecting the saga of the
only County Sheriff ever to lose his life in
the performance of his duty.
It was resurrected recently by Bill Temme
when he found what he believes to be one
of the bullets fired in the historic shootout,
Temme found the bullet lodged inside the
southwest wall of the L & N Depot building
now under renovation by the County Historical Society. The bullet was discovered
while replacing worn weather boards.
“I’d been looking for it for the last year
and half,” said Temme, who has researched
the depot building and its historic significance.“Everybody said it (evidence from
the shootout) was in the southwest corner
and that’s the only hole on the south side.”
Temme hopes to determine the caliber
of the bullet as a final way of proving who
fired the shot. It is logical to assume the
bullet came from the gun of Assistant City
Marshall, August Leker, one of three men
who died as the result of a confrontation
on Wednesday, June 20, 1917.
Leker and Sheriff, Jacob “Jake” May had
been summoned to the Jankowski saloon which was housed next to the depot
around 12:30 p.m. on June 20, to disarm
Hiram Rice. Rice, who had taken a shotgun into the saloon and was threatening
to shoot John Evilsizer, Jr., his 20 year old
perspective son-in-law.
Evilsizer and Rice’s 16-year-old daughter, Ella, planned to be married. In fact, the
parents of both had applied for a marriage
license earlier that year, but because Ella
was under 16, the license had been denied.
June 20 was Ella’s 16th birthday. Rice had
changed his mind about the marriage and
now threatened to shoot Evilsizer rather
than see the marriage confirmed.
Rice was a 60-year-old former City Marshall and had been president of the local
miner’s union for the last 20 years. He had
been suffering from rheumatism and until
the day of the shootout, walked with the
aid of crutches.
But on that Wednesday, Rice visited
several saloons in Nashville before going to
the Jankowski place. When May and Leker
confronted Rice on the street between
the saloon and the depot, outside the establishment, Rice threatened May with a
raised shotgun.
“You saw that” said May as Leker pulled
a revolver and fired five shots at Rice, missing him with all five. Rice blasted his shotgun into Leker’s chest, reloaded, then shot
May in the back of his head before he fell
to the ground, wounded in the abdomen by
one of three bullets fired by May, according
to Newspaper reports.
Customers from the saloon ran outside to
find May and Leker both dead and Rice
mortally wounded. Rice was transported
to Mt. Vernon hospital where an operation
proved useless. He died after signing a confession four days later.
In the flowery prose of the Nashville
Journal Newspaper of June 28, 1917: “Rice
passed from the reach of human courts to
face the Supreme Judge.” Rice was given
no chance of recovery after the operation
in Mt. Vernon found the bullet lodged in his
hipbone and pierced five intestines. “Sinking spells set in,” but before he died he
stated that it was a bullet from Leker’s gun
which had struck home. He claimed Leker
fired first.
Witnesses at a Coroner’s Jury held the
day of the shooting differed as to whom
fired first. Most said it was Leker.
Rice was disarmed after the shooting by
Leo Jankowski, the saloon owner a veteran
of the Spanish-American War. Rice surrendered without a struggle.
Rice was kept under armed guard at
his home to prevent a get-away or possible
lynching before he was transported to the
Mt. Vernon hospital Wednesday night.

Sheriffs Of Washington County
Thousands of County residents attended the funerals of May and Leker.
Leker had been born in Nashville on April
29, 1881. May was born in Lettveiler,
Germany on November 17, 1871. He had
first been elected Sheriff in 1914 and
was the second of five May family members to hold the position in Washington
County, since Illinois became a state in
1818. Jacob May was Sheriff from 18741878; William H. May was Sheriff from
1922-1926, a cousin, Freeman F. Kaser
was Sheriff from 1958-1962 and A. Virgil
May was Sheriff from 1962-1966.
The day after the shooting, Ella Rice
and John Evilsizer
again applied for
a marriage license
but were denied
by County Clerk
Heckert “under the
circumstances.” Ella
and John eventually
married and had a
number of children
and remained married until death.
Newspaper reports identified the
bullet, which killed Rice as a 32-calibre.
Rice was using a 16-guage shotgun. The
identity of the revolvers used by May
and Leker was not given. From the Coroner’s Jury testimony, however, the angles
indicate the position of the bullet found
in the L & N Depot could be one fired at
Rice by either Leker or May. The likelihood that it came from Leker’s gun is
prevalent due to the extreme closeness
of his shots to the window of the depot
where the bullet was found. The bullet
was found three feet from the corner of
the depot building about two and one
half feet above
ground level.
Newspaper
accounts
say
Rice was standing about three
feet away from
the corner of the
building on the
s o u t h we s t e r n
side.
