Book Description
This book contains some historical information about the reaper industry in Rockford, Illinois during the second half of the nineteenth century. It contains some biographical information about the innovators and industrialists involved. Several pictures of their patents, 1851-1869, are included. This is the result of some family history research I was doing when I discovered that my grandfather, Louis Andrew Belden, had been employed in Rockford, Illinois at the firm of Emerson Manufacturing Co. in 1905. In 1903-1905, his father in law, Great-Grandpa William J Goff, was also employed there. This firm later became Emerson-Brantingham Co and was purchased in 1928 by J I Case Co. I was employed in Rockford at the product engineering office of the J I Case factory beginning in 1952 and continued at that location until it was closed down in 1970. I remained in the Case Co employment at Bettendorf, IA until 1975 and then in Racine, WI until my retirement in 1989.

Book Description
This black and white version of the second edition contains all the contents as the color version. It has the added information for our Wisconsin ancestors plus a short biography written by Evelyn telling of her early life. Included are letters written by Grandfather Louis Andrew Belden during military service in the War of 1898. The 2013 first edition was published to provide a record of the collection of Belden family pictures and studio portraits with identification where possible. The collection belonged to Mom and eventually ended in my hands. Evelyn was born in Wisconsin where her ancestors had been early settlers of Racine County, however she spent practically all her life near Roscoe, in Winnebago Co., Illinois.
