"As Addison, Illinois, continues to grow and prosper, it is important for residents to understand how and why a small farming community, Dunklee's Grove, became the Addison known today. The strength and determination of men like Hezikiah Dunklee and Mason Smith; the leadership of men like Buchholz, Eggerding, Russotto, and Hartwig; the strong, faith-based values that were a central part of daily life for the early settlers; and the willingness to work and live together in a true spirit of brotherhood were the qualities throughout the village's history that kept the community strong, unified, and successful. This books takes up where a previous history left off - in the era of Anthony Russotto, who faithfully served Addison starting in 1985 and takes the reader through the trials, tribulations, excitement, and advancement to the present day"--
