Notes

"The Civilian Conservation Corps operated a camp during the latter 1930's and into the early 1940's west of Jacksonville on the Corine Road extension of Kickapoo St. and across the road from the Jacksonville Water Department filtering plant. The personnel specialized in soil and water conservation work on farms in Cherokee County. The camp was on a farm owned then by the late Haden Douglas. Identity of the men is unknown. Several of the supervisory personnel and the U. S. Army officers in charge of the camp married Jacksonville girls and several became permanent Jacksonville and area residents. The CCC camp closed with the advent of World War II. Several of the officers went into the armed forces immediately. Other CCC camps in Cherokee County closed at the same time. The others specialized in forestry management and development."
