ITEMS TO SCHEDULE 13D


ITEM 1     SECURITY AND ISSUER.

This Statement relates to the common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the
"Union Common Stock") of UnionBancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 122
West Madison Street, Ottawa, Illinois 61350.

ITEM 2.    IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

The undersigned, WPW Associates, L.P., a Georgia limited partnership ("WPW"),
Paula Wolff ("Wolff") and Wolff's husband, Wayne W. Whalen ("Whalen" and
collectively with WPW and Wolff, the "Reporting Persons"), hereby file this
Amendment No. 2 to their previously filed Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons
originally filed a Schedule 13D to which this Amendment No. 2 relates on
October 10, 1996 with respect to their ownership of Union Common Stock and
Whalen and Wolff filed an Amendment No. 1 to such Schedule 13D on March 6,
2000. Wolff and Whalen are the general partners of WPW and, in such capacity,
each owns one percent of the outstanding partnership interests of WPW. Wolff
and Whalen are each citizens of the United States and reside at 4920 S.
Greenwood, Chicago, Illinois 60615. At the present time, Wolff is an
executive with Chicago Metropolitan 2020 which is a not-for-profit
organization located in Chicago, Illinois. Whalen is a partner in the law
firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom (Illinois), 333 W. Wacker Drive,
Chicago, Illinois 60606. WPW is a family limited partnership established and
funded by Wolff and Whalen in 1996 for estate planning purposes. The address
of its principal business and principal office is 4920 S. Greenwood, Chicago,
Illinois 60615. During the last five years, neither WPW, nor Wolff, nor
Whalen (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) was party to a civil proceeding
of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a
result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final
order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with
respect to such laws.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         The consideration used by Wolff and Whalen on their own behalf and on
behalf of their children (the "WW Children") to purchase the shares of Union
Common Stock subject to this Statement came from their personal funds.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The shares of Union Common Stock subject to this Statement are held by
Wolff, Whalen and their children solely for investment purposes.

         Although the Reporting Persons have not formulated any definitive
plans, they may from time to time acquire, or dispose of, common stock and/or
other securities of the Company if and

                                       5

<PAGE>

when they deem it appropriate. The Reporting Persons may formulate other
purposes, plans or proposals relating to any of such securities of the Company
to the extent deemed advisable in light of market conditions, investment
policies and other factors. Except as indicated in this Statement, the Reporting
Persons have no current plans or proposals which would relate to or would result
in any of the matters described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of
Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OR ISSUER.

(a)  Between May 5, 2000 and October 18, 2000, (i) Whalen and Wolff jointly
     purchased 26,600 shares of Union Common Stock at an average price of
     $10.94, which represents .7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Union
     Common Stock; (ii) Whalen and Wolff also purchased on behalf of their
     children, 14,700 shares of Union Common Stock at an average price of
     $10.53, which represents .4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Union
     Common Stock; and (iii) Wolff as custodian ("Wolff as UTMA custodian") of
     UTMA accounts for certain WW Children purchased 15,500 shares of Union
     Common Stock at an average price of $11.77 which represents .4% of the
     issued and outstanding shares of Union Common Stock. In sum, between May 5,
     2000 and October 18, 2000, Whalen and Wolff beneficially acquired 56,800
     shares of Union Common Stock at an average price of $11.06 which represents
     1.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Union Common Stock and which
     shares of Union Common Stock are the subject of this Amendment. The total
     purchases of the Reporting Persons since their last Schedule 13D filing did
     not however exceed, in the aggregate, more than 1% of the issued and
     outstanding shares of Union Common Stock until October 12, 2000. In
     addition, the Reporting Persons own 492,088 shares of Union Common Stock
     which represent 12.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Union Common
     Stock. Such ownership was previously reported on a Schedule 13D filed on
     October 10, 1996 as amended on March 6, 2000 (the "Prior 13D Filings")1.

     In aggregate, the Reporting Persons currently beneficially own a total of
     548,888 shares of Union Common Stock representing, collectively, 13.9% of
     the issued and outstanding shares of Union Common Stock.

     The number of shares of Union Common Stock beneficially owned by the
     Reporting Persons and reported in this Amendment does not include 1,381
     shares of Company's convertible preferred stock owned by WPW.

(b)  Whalen and Wolff may each be deemed to share voting and dispositive power
     with respect to 548,888 shares of Union Common Stock. WPW may be deemed to
     have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to 36,950 shares of
     Union Common Stock.

(c)  The following is a description of transactions effectuated by the Reporting
     Persons since the most recent Schedule 13D filing:
------------------
(1) The Prior 13D Filings incorrectly reported that the Reporting Persons owned
484,688 shares of Union Common Stock representing 11.98% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Union Common Stock.
