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.

The 1956 Olympic Gold Medal Basketball Team.

Carl Cecil Cain graduated in from Freeport High School in 1952.

He was a member of the 1951 Freeport High School men's basketball team that won the Illinois State Championship.

He played college basketball at the University of Iowa, where he starred. He earned All Conference and All-American honors.

The Hawkeyes finished second in 1954, then won the Big Ten in both 1955 and 1956.

San Francisco, led by Bill Russell's 26 points beat Iowa in the 1956 national title game. Cain, a 6-3 senior forward, scored 17 points for Iowa.

The University of Iowa retired his #21 basketball jersey in 1980.

Carl Cain won a Gold Medal as a part of the 1956 Olympic Men's Basketball team in Melbourne, Australia. As far as I know, Carl Cain is the only Freeporter to ever win a medal at the Olympics!
