From:  "History of Champaign County, Illinois with Illustrations," 1878

C. W. GULICK

Mr. GULICK, a leading merchant of Rantoul, was born at Norristown, Belmont
county, Ohio, April 27th, 1836. When about fourteen his father moved with
the family to Van Wert county in the western part of that State. Mr. Gulick
became clerk in a store at Willshire in Van Wert county, and afterwards at
Greenville in Darke county. In the year 1855 he traveled through the south
with the object of benefiting his health, which had become impaired by
close confinement in the store. He came to Champaign county, Illinois, in
1856. For about fifteen years he taught school mostly in Kerr township. In
1860 he bought one hundred and sixty acres of land in the southern part of
Kerr township, and lived there till he came to Rantoul. He began business
at Rantoul in 1869. For ninety days he managed a restaurant, and then
embarked in the general mercantile business, which he has since carried on
with success. In 1874 he began building the Gulick brick block, and
completed his present large store in 1876. February 18th, 1860, he was
married to Catherine C. CLAPP, a native of Vermillion county, Illinois. He
has confined his attention mostly to business matters, and has taken no
active part in politics. He is a member of the Republican party; is
connected with the Methodist Church; and is a business man who enjoys a
high reputation for integrity.
