1816–(1832) Said to be named for a French Priest, Antoine D’osia who settled on a lake (mere). First mentioned by Murray McConnel (1816) and named by J. E. Waldo ahd Phillip Ayelsworth. There is some controversy about the origin of the name. Some say it was named after the lake (mere) and the Willows (osia). The town was plotted in 1832 by Thomas T. January. It is a thriving Illinois River town yet today. (Carl E. Black research)
