1879
The I. C. R. R. Co. is putting in a switch about one mile south west of town to accommodate Mr. Van Steenburgh.
The ladies of the Congregational church are preparing to serve a Thanksgiving dinner and supper in the new church, which will be so far completed by that time as to serve for a dining room.
Mr. McNeish has gone into partnership with Christ. Anderson and has removed his shoe and harness shop to the second floor of Anderson's building. As both are enterprising business men they will undoubtedly prosper and ? ? ? ? such that their patronage will increase as it should.

18 November 1875
ROBERTS RAKINGS
News of interest in our town is almost as scarce an article at present as the sometimes abused but muchly coveted greenback.
A series of evening meetings is now being held here by Rev. Mr. Wenge, pastor of the Congregational church of Thawville, assisted by Rev. Hart, pastor of the Methodist church, in Roberts. . .
. . . James Gell, Esq, is building a banking office on his lot just east of Anderson & Campbell's.
H. Tinklepaugh is putting up some splendid farm wagons, every part warranted.
Ed. Newman has just returned from Chicago, where he has been after a fresh stock of winter goods, ready made clothing, etc.
Thompson & Lyman now have a practical tinsmith, and are ready to manufacture everything in their line.
Our grain merchants have plenty of greenbacks in exchange for corn, oats, and flax at the highest market prices.
Rice Bros. have opened their new meat market. With two meat markets we have meat enough to spare and potatoes to match.
Miss Montgomery has opened a millinery shop in the old post office building.
John Bunker has a new house nearly ready for occupancy, just north of the school house.
Ed. King is building a house for John McNish who has sold his farm and is coming to town to engage in the manufacture of boots and shoes with his brother.
E. Van Steenbergh shipped a car load of hogs last week which he sold at $7.25 in Chicago. Joseph Hurst and others contemplate shipping soon. Mr. Hurst has a very choice lot which will bring him outside prices.
Farmers are uncommonly busy improving the fine weather in husking a big crop of corn. Some claim an average of 60 bushels per acre.
If any one doubts the soundness of the suggestions of last week's Record in regard to working roads let him tread over the town of Lyman at the present time, roads graded in the fall are hard roads to travel I believe, but we must live and learn, for this is a progressive age in which we live.

Edward Van Steenbergh and the Hay Press
EDWARD VAN STEENBERGH
Edward Van Steenbergh is one of the most extensive farmers of this township. Born in Ulster County, N. Y., in 1814, he came to this township in 1871 settling on Section 28. He owns a splendid farm of 640 acres, and annually ships large quantities of hay to Chicago.

Van Steenbergh Hay Press
I believe this picture of the Van Steenbergh property (Historical Atlas of Ford County Illinois, 1884) shows the Hay Press. This was just down the road from Joe Rock's across the tracks and 54. Looks like a big operation at the time. The RR tracks have a side track at the operation and scales, from the 1884 plat of Lyman Township.
