  Stephen A. Douglas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Douglas' support of the bill was based on his commitment to the principle of sovereignty and local self-government.
In the Senate Douglas was not reappointed chairman of the committee on territories.
Douglas died from typhoid fever on June 3, 1861 at Chicago, where he was buried on the shore of Lake Michigan; the site was afterwards bought by the state, and an imposing monument with a statue by Leonard Volk now stands over his grave.

Douglas Tilden, 1860-1935, was deaf and dumb, as a result of childhood scarlet fever.
Tilden paid off the CSD debt with one of his statues - indeed, the very same trapper-and-bears piece that my friends had grown so fond of and recalled when they looked at Fremiet's similar statue in the Jardin des Plantes.
Tilden probably figured they'd never the wiser and would be happy in any case to get such a dramatic and fine example of the great sculptor's work.

For Tilden -- who lost his hearing to scarlet fever when he was 5 -- art was a way to connect with a hearing world that, at the turn of the 20th century, wasn't always so understanding of the deaf community.
For Tilden, the struggle for acceptance in a hearing world paralleled the struggles of American workers, where courage and determination were paramount.
Tilden's impact on the deaf and artistic communities was tremendous, as well.
