I don't know if this has already been posted but he's mentioned on FindAGrave.com:

Dr. William Louis Podesta (archive)

He donated land near Pana for the Boy Scouts camp called Podesta' Big Timber and helped established Lake Land College in Mattoon.

This sounds like a midwestern version of Ms. Dolores' story in True Detective.

Podesta's "Big Timber"?!? May as well call it "Big Woody". I'd LOL if it weren't so friggin' creepy. Good find!
