They dug the first well in Galva, built the first brick building and constructed an elevator and warehouse for the storage of grain. The brick used in all these operations were hauled from the yards near Bishop Hill with ox teams driven by "The Ox Boys of Bishop Hill. " They also did much grading for the C. B. & Q. , then under con- struction. But with prosperity also came many reverses. They lost considerably during the panic of 1857 as well as in banking operations at Galva. These reverses st...irred up strife and discord. The old-time religious ties had been weakening for some time and a cloud of discontent cast a shadow upon the prosperous scene. The coining of the Civil War also helped to aggravate the disastrous combination. Fifty-three of the young men had responded to Lincoln's call for troops, leaving the industrial development to the older men at a critical time. The dissolution of the colony was finally decided upon as the only panacea for the threatened disruption. The division of property followed and this was made upon the basis of age of each individual, not upon the length of service.
