Author: History of Grundy Co IL 1882

John Antis, physician and surgeon, Mazon, was born in Montgomery County, N. 
Y., in 1817, and early in life commenced the study of medicine, graduating 
from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Western University of New 
York, in the year 1838. He practiced his profession in North Brookfield, 
Madison County, N. Y., four years, and during that time, in 1840, married Miss 
Nancy A. Sweet, youngest daughter of Samuel G. Sweet. In 1841, they had born 
to them their eldest daughter, Eudora A. The same year (1841), Dr. Antis moved 
to Mixville, Allegany County, N. Y., and lived there four years, during which 
time his youngest daughter, Mary L., was born. In 1845, the Doctor moved to 
Morris, where he resided until 1879, when he moved out to his farm in Mazon 
Township, where he has enjoyed the full possession of health and happiness, 
and a large circle of friends and acquaintances. Thus have been chronicled the 
dates of the births and marriage of the Doctor and his estimable wife, whose 
lives have been intimately blended and moulded into the interests of the 
county and city of their adoption. They have lived to see their daughters 
married to cherished husbands, and they, surrounded by children, the pride of 
their parents. The lives of this aged pair have been a series of experiences 
from which they have learned to judge wisely and live properly, and are now 
looking forward to that great change when the man proper will separate them 
from the man physical, and stand out in its own pristine worth, untrammeled by 
matter and its laws.
