Beard built his summer home of oak and walnut, a very substantial house. Here he planted choice orchards and vineyards, kept open house and enjoyed life. The first general Illinois Thanksgiving feast was celebrat- ed in the Beard homestead. "In November 1845 by the recommendation of the gover- nor of the state, the first day of public Thanksgiving was ob- served — a venerable custom in New England but of recent ob- servance in the West and South. On this occasion, invitations were sent by Mr. B...eard to his friends and kindred to come and enjoy his hospitality. He had been wont to celebrate New Years Day with similar festivities. But partly out of respect to executive authority and partly to kindred, who had so re- cently immigrated he had chosen this day to honor the former and welcome the latter. People came from all about in great numbers, but religious exercises, unlike the old Puritan Thanks- giving were lacking. Probably not a minister in the county had evv. - conducted exercises on such an occasion.
