Swarts have been in DeMotte for a long time. And Halleck Street is still Thomas Swart Road.

Religious persecution and economic hardships led many Dutch to emigrate to America during the mid to late 19th century. The Kankakee Marsh, in Jasper County, attracted a large number of these dissatisfied Dutch. Thomas Swart left his native Holland in 1868 and settled in Cicero, Illinois. Then, in 1888 he purchased 234 acres in Keener Township along the Kankakee Marsh and built up his farm. This farm property contained the legionary Grape Island! Thomas’s son Louis moved to Jasper County in 1903. Louis and his wife Anna Abbring had six children, the last of which was Leonard, born in 1908. Leonard purchased his farm in the late 1930s. In 1992 Leonard sat for the Demotte-Kankakee Valley Rotary Club Oral History Project to tell his story. Leonard “Buzz” led a diverse life along the Kankakee, including playing for the DeMotte baseball team. Leonard saw first-hand the dredging of the Kankakee: “I saw the dredge that dug the Kankakee River out on the Old Grade. My dad heard in town that it was going to be up close by the Grade. We got in the Model T and went out to see it. It was a big outfit. It wasn’t done in one year.” Leonard married Mary Catherine White in 1933 and four children.

Leonard passed away in 2000, Mary Catherine followed eight months later. I want to thank Dan Swart, Leonard’s grandson, for family pictures and more details about his grandfather’s life.
