More Homes
--Posted to the Roberts Illinois History Group Facebook Page by Tim Theesfeld. April 2020.
The next photo includes at least three houses. These homes also are on the east side of North Main Street, just a little further to the north end of the street.
The next home would be the Pettit/Riddle/Estep home (below.)
The third home in the photo is what I remember as the home of Ida Tornowski (below.)

The first house in the above photo and below, I remember as Jerry and Viola Shambrook's home. Jerry Shambrook notes that he bought the home from Earl Day in 1959.

Shambrook
An email I received from Ann in the UK this week who recently discovered the Roberts Illinois History blog. Ann is researching her Shambrook roots. I told her she came to the right place . . . anyone out there doing Shambrook genealogy? I'll connect you with Ann.

From Ann:
This is the photo of my Great great grandad, John Shambrook who was born 1840 Barnstable district Devon uk. He lived in Malvern uk all of his marrried life. This photo was taken by my great great uncle John, known as Jack. The photo shows him closing the door of the Emmanuelle church Malvern for the last time in 1914, after being the verger for 40 years. I am certain he is related to Robert Shambrook who went to Illinois. He did have an older brother Robert but I am not sure they are the same person or maybe a cousin. I will let you know if I manage to find out anymore. Thanks for all your links I have looked through most and it's really interesting to know more about the Shambrook side of the family.

Frederick T. Shambrook
Federick T. Shambrook, the owner of two hundred and eighty-seven acres of valuable farming land, is a self made man who has gained his present prosperity entirely through his own well directed energy and enterprise. He was born in Tazewell county, Illinois, September 15, 1858, a son of John and Mary (Parkin) Shambrook, who are mentioned at length in the sketch of James R. Shambrook on another page of this volume.
Frederick T. Shambrook pursued his education in the district schools of Ford county, remaining under the parental roof until he had attained adult age. He then purchased eighty acres of land on section 6, Lyman township, and improved same by the erection of a fine residence and all other necessary accessories of a model farming property.
--Lyman Township Plat. 1901.
Moreover, as the years passed he brought more and more land from time to time until his holdings now comprise two hundred and eighty-seven acres situated in the beautiful valley of the Pan Handle, in Ford county. In addition to his general agricultural pursuits he has also made a specialty of raising and feeding stock, and both branches of his business are bringing to him a gratifying financial return annually, so that he is widely recognized as a substantial and enterprising citizen of the county. There is no more productive land in all Lyman township than is comprised within his farm, and his success is all the more creditable by reason of the fact that he started out in life empty-handed, dependent entirely upon his own resources.
In 1885 Mr. Shambrook was united in marriage to Miss Polly Hammett, a native of England, who came to America with her parents when still very young. The father is deceased, but the mother still survives him, making her home with Mr. and Mrs. Shambrook. The latter was one of a family of three children, namely: Walter W., who is married and operates eighty acres of his father's farm; and Elmer J. and Etta, both at home.
Politically Mr. Shambrook is a republican and is quite prominent in the local ranks of this party, having served as school director and road commissioner for several years. He is also a member of the Court of Honor at Roberts, Illinois, while his wife and daughter hold membership in the Presbyterian church. For almost thirty years he has been an important factor in agricultural circles of Ford county, and his prosperity is well deserved, as in him are embraced the characteristics of an unbending integrity, unabating energy and industry that never flags. He is public spirited, giving his cooperation to every movement which tends to promote the moral, intellectual and material welfare of the community. The hospitality of the best homes of the locality is freely extended to him, as well as the members of his household, the circle of his friends being almost coextensive with the circle of his acquaintances.
