History

Although Oscar's death and an depression (economics) depression disrupted the business in the 1890s, Pauline Jacobus continued making pottery in Edgerton until the early 1900s' fire that destroyed her rural Edgerton home, "The Bogart". Jacobus and her husband, Oscar Jacobus, were responsible for the first artistic pottery created in Chicago, Illinois in the mid-1880s. The circuit court rejected their argument, deciding in 1888 that the readings were not sectarian because both translations were of the same work. When Edgerton was approached about using his name for the city, he recommended caution. The 1890s Carlton Hotel, once located on Henry Street, also once served as an additional reminder of the tobacco industry's influence.
