Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 May 1912 — Reaches 80th Milestone. [ARTICLE]

Reaches 80th Milestone.

S. O. Duvall will pass his 80th milestone tomorrow, and he is in fairly good health for a person of that age and walks up town every day. Seventy years ago, coming October, his father and family located in Rensselaer, and the greater part of Mt. Duvall’s life has been spent here, although he lived for some years in Monon, then at Momence and later in Chicago. Seventy years ago Rensselaer was not much of a town, less than a halfdozen log houses comprising the hamlet.
