From the April 20, 2016, MidWeek (DeKalb County) "Looking Back."
1916, 100 years ago.
"The visit to Sycamore on January 26 last of John Shabbona, grandson of the famous Indian chief Shabbona, was followed last week by the appearance of Chief Shabbona's daughter, mother of John, and said to be 90 years of age, and Zeboquay, her nurse, and grand-daughters of Shabbona by Maud's sister.
"They again examined the records in the recorder's office, and it is understood that effort will be made to obtain from the government for Shabbona's heirs compensation for the land in the county unjustly taken from Chief Shabbona."
