Yet desiring to know something of this section of the country, he started on a trip that took him up the river as far as Dubuque, thence eastward to Galesburg, Illinois, and from that point across the country to Burlington, Iowa, and on back to Bloomington. He traveled the entire journey on foot, much of the way in deep snow through an almost unsettled country. His sagacity was the source of his belief in the future and in 1837 he opened a general stock of goods in a little log cabin on Water s...treet. This was the second mercantile house in Bloomington, if the old trading post is to be regarded as the first. The log cabin was soon supplanted by a sub- stantial two-story structure on the same street, the lower story of which he oc- cupied for business purposes, while the second story was used as a residence. Thirteen years later this building was removed to make way for a brick building of much greater pretentions. The timbers of the old wooden building were all fitted, squared and framed on the lot where the house stood.
