Excerpt from History of the Champaign Public Library and Reading Room

This matter was spoken of to an Uncle, Mr. Beidler, and several other old residents with whom he came in contact, but nothing developed from the suggestion until a year later. On his return from Ann Arbor, Mich. The project was put on foot and the Champaign Library Association was duly organized on May 7, 1868, the first of its kind in the city.

At the last annual meeting of the Association held May 11, 1876, a new secretary was elected, E. T. Whitcomb, a hail-fellow well met, who left not the scratch of a pen, either of said epochal meeting 01 subsequent one surrendering its property. Even the rec01d book is gone. But, for the private notes of the author him self, all official 2data leading up to the transfer is lost.
