84 The opening of the Illinois and Michigan canal in 1848 served to bring some settlers from northern Ohio and Indiana and southern Michigan, but the number was not large. 85 Settle- ment had not left the line of the Vermilion river by 1850 and even where so closely grouped this ribbon of settlement over the county did not exceed five miles in width. Beyond these limits occasional settlements were found but the largest ones had but four or five families each. 86 Development in all lines seems t...o have been slow. In 1847 not a store existed in Livingston county, the nearest approach to such an institution being a peddler who made monthly trips from Ottawa, supplying from his wagon the needs of every family in the county. The mediums of exchange acceptable were feathers, ginseng and deer skins. 87 The population in 1850 was 1, 550, 88 the least of any county in Illinois.
The history of settlement in Iroquois county is a repetition of that of the other prairie counties. Scattered settlements are * l I1)id.
