Remarkable events have happened in Freeport and Stephenson County, Illinois, and remarkable people have lived there. These are stories gathered about people and events from 1835 through World War II.

The author lives in Eugene, Oregon, and works as a Licensed Massage Therapist and Life Coach. An amateur historian, parts of these stories and many more appear on this website.

Biblical Aromatherapy

by Robert Bike

The Bible mentions about 232 plants by name, or closely enough to figure out what plant is meant. Of these, 24 are aromatic plants; that is, parts of the plants can be pressed or distilled to get an essential oil. Essential oils are the lifeblood of plants and have tremendous healing capabilities.

The healing power of plants is the basis for modern medicines.

Biblical Aromatherapy
discusses how the plants were used in biblical days and how you can use the essential oils from biblical plants.

Originally published in manuscript form in 1999, I completely revised the book and added illustrations.

1953 license plate

My father's 1953 license plate.


Freeport‘s Henney Motor Company’s president, C. Russell Feldman, wanted a 12-passenger station wagon, so in 1953 he had one built.

The Henney Super Station Wagon was built on an extended Packard chassis, had a 220-horsepower Packard engine, a 13-foot wheelbase, and was 21 feet long.

The rear area had an observation lounge with seating for three and a rear view.

Seats and walls were covered with two-tone leather, the carpeting was inch-thick wool chenille, it was air-conditioned when few vehicles were, and it had a recessed beverage cabinet.
