Welcome to the Lone Tree Leader Online!
At the LTL, we know that a well-designed, accessible website is a
necessity in our increasingly technological world. In order to keep up
with changing times, we tend to change once in a while. The LTL Online
now has a new look and layout and is easier to browse.
We're always happy to hear constructive comments and criticism. Email
us about the new website look, content or anything else on your mind. If
you're in the area, stop and chat and meet Bonnie and Clyde (the office
felines).
About the Lone Tree Leader
The Lone Tree Leader is a weekly newspaper serving communities in
Iroquois and Ford Counties, Illinois. The LTL is published each
Thursday morning and dated the following Friday. It is mailed to
hundreds of subscribers in East Central Illinois and also to people in 38
states.
Why the name "Lone Tree Leader?" Well, "Onarga, by the red men
named, Lone Tree, the Indian version." That is one of the first lines in a
poem written by an ancestor of Durwood Shawl, a genealogical
researcher with ties to Onarga. The poem was written at a 1906 Greene
Family reunion at the home of Mrs. Sylvester Howard in Onarga. It is
only family lore that the word "Onarga" is Amer-Indian for "Lone Tree,"
but it sounds plausible (and a bit romantic) to us and makes a very good
name for our newspaper. Other theories concerning the origin of the
name do not lend themselves to the naming of this paper.
Of course, the "Leader" part comes from the old Onarga newspaper,
"The Onarga Leader and Review."
