JUNIOR YEAR BOOK, IN MEMORY OF MRS . LORAINE LYNDS. Very closely connected with the early history of Momence is the name of Miss Loraine Beebe, who kept the first school in the county in 1837. A story is told of an experience in her early life which will bear repeating. At a time when there was no town of Momence, the nearest Post Office being that of Loraine, which was named in honor of this pioneer school-mistress. The Pottawatomie Indians camped along the Kankakee. White Pigeon, their chief, could not resist the temptation to get intoxicated sev¬ eral times a year on whiskey which was plentiful and cheap at that time. When this occurred, ! »■ Barbee, who lived several miles away, was sent for to hold White Pigeon in restraint until he became sober. One day Mr. Barbee met Miss Beebe and she told him to tell White Pigeon, for her, that he was not to drink anymore whisky. White Pigeon’s answer to this was, “White man make ’em, Indian drink ’em; White man no make ’em, Indian no drink ’em.” None but the brave and strong could have endured the hardships of those early days and such was the life of Mrs. Lynds thruout its span of ninety-two years. She was born in Vermont in 1812, came to Illinois in 1836, and was married in 1842 to Dr. David Lynds, who died in 1877. On Nov. 30, 1904, occurred the death of Mrs. Lynds at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Freeman. The memory of this noble woman will no doubt last much longer than her namesake, the Loraine School.
