Nice find, Hennepin Illinois is upstream on the Illinois River a few hundred clicks from Peoria. Today they have around 600-700 people so I'd imagine there weren't too many people around those parts in 1884. The first places populated by the early settlers were always on Rivers and bodies of water. I'm sure the bottom lettering reads "Putnam co(unty)"
