Volume I, Number 1 News of 1916 Lake Forest, Illinois

Marion Lambert, aged 18, was found dead in Helms Woods, south of Sacred Heart Academy, February 9th. Mr. Frank Lambert, her father and gardener on the Jonas Kuppenheimer estate, made the discovery after the girl did not return home. The coroner’s autopsy found cyanide poisoning as the probable cause. William Orpet, reported boyfriend of the girl, is suspected as the last person to see Miss Lambert alive and is in custody.

He is the son of Edward Orpet, head gardener at Walden, the estate of Cyrus McCormick. Mr. Orpet was arrested in Madison, Wisconsin where he is a student at the University.

Become a member of the jury. The Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Historical Society presents The Mystery of the Gardener’s Daughter on Sunday April 14, 2013 at 3:00 pm at Lake Forest High School. Tickets are $20. Decide for yourself—Guilty or Innocent?

CRAB TREE FARM

Mrs. Scott Durand’s Lake Bluff dairy venture, Crab Tree Farm, is having a much better year. Her modern dairy is slowly recovering from the epidemic of foot and mouth disease which wiped out many herds in Lake County last year. Among those that had to be de-stroyed was the entire herd of 170 dairy cows owned by Arthur Meeker at his Arcady Farm. Dedicated to saving her cows to the end, and defying orders to do so, Mrs. Durand’s cows nonetheless had to be slaughtered. Of the 8,242 animals lost in Illinois, Mr. Meeker’s was the worst followed by Mrs. Durand and Mr. Samuel Insull.

The handsome buildings, designed by Solon Beman, replaced the former farm of Judge Blodgett which was destroyed in the disastrous fire of 1910. Mrs. Durand built her new dairy to be fire-proof and she has had success selling ice cream all along the North Shore.

The buildings now house the finest collection of Arts and Crafts furniture and decorative arts in the Unit-ed States. Join the Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Historical Society for a tour of Crab Tree Farm on Saturday May 11, 2013. To complement the tour, Chef John des Rosiers of Inovasi is creating a luncheon menu inspired by Crab Tree Farm’s own period cookbooks. Tours are at 10:00 am and 1:30 pm with lunch at noon. Tickets (which include lunch) are $40 for members and $50 for nonmembers. This unique experience makes a great gift to celebrate Mother’s Day—established as an official holiday in 1914 by President Woodrow Wilson.

A NOTE ON SOME PROCEED-INGS OF THE LAKE FOREST CITY

COUNCILBy An Observer

An ordinance was presented at a recent meet-ing entitled “An ordinance to prohibit persons under 18 years of age from driving or operat-ing motor vehicles.” Though much time was spent waxing poetic about the irresponsibility

of youth behind the wheel, a suggestion was proffered that perhaps 16, rather than 18, was a more suitable age for such a prohibition. The matter will be tabled until 1917, and all of our town’s youthful chauffeurs can breathe a sigh of relief.

Another ordinance likely to be considered during next year’s council sessions relates to our community’s disorderly “fowl” element. Tentatively entitled “An ordinance to prevent ducks and chickens from running at large in the city of Lake Forest,” the law’s passage seems assured.

Debate continues in the wake of last year’s street name changes, which transformed so many of our “Avenues” into “Roads,” begat such new byways as Elm Tree Road, Barberry Lane, Hawthorne Place, and Ringwood Road, and led to the demise of several thoroughfares familiar to the tongues of longtime residents: farewell we said to Winona, Linden, Myrtle, Poplar, Huron, Hazel and other lanes of our youth. But in the case of Illinois Avenue – now, east of the tracks, known as “Brushwood Road,” – it may be, after all, the original name, rather than the revised one, that persists into posterity. Though resident Alfred E. Hamill prefers the new to the old, considering Illinois a “dreary appellation,” and fellow street-dwell-ers Mrs. and Mrs. George E. Newcomb wish to have the street rechristened to honor their former neighbor Edwin S. Wells, it seems a petition is in the works to revert “Brushwood” back to “Illinois.” We will continue to follow these developments with interest.

The consistent use of the junction of Frost Place and McKinley as a dumping ground for gravel and other such detritus by the Chicago & Milwaukee Electric Railroad appears to have opened a can of worms in Lake Forest. A letter signed by no less than 47 property owners in the neighborhood was submitted to the Council on October 17 requesting that body to study the advisability of creating a residence district, which would “protect residence property owners…against invasion by industrial

enterprises.” We note that many other leading communities across the country, including Chicago, are undergoing similar discussions about separating territory into manufacturing, commercial, and residence districts. Though an ordinance was drafted in response entitled “An ordinance declaring the storage of junk and the establishment or maintenance of junk-yards in resident districts to be a nuisance,” we have a feeling this is not the last we will hear of such issues.

The Garden Club of Illinois continues their stewardship of Triangle Park, the three-sided grassy area bounded by Walnut, Deerpath and Washington on which formerly stood the derelict Old Hotel building. It is expected that the Garden Club will return the park, temporarily loaned to them for the purposes of improvement, to the City of Lake Forest sometime next year. Garden Club Committee members Margaret Day Blake, Susan Hibbard, Alice Thompson, Alice Carpenter, Alice Patterson, and Kate Brewster have overseen no-table advancements in landscaping, with trees trimmed, rubbish removed, ground drained, wells filled in, walks, pools, and benches constructed, etc. It is noted that allowing automobiles in the Park during the July 4th parade provided something of a setback in its progress.

It was thought that the outcome last year’s popular referendum – to wit, a 554-531 vote against – regarding the opening of motion picture theatres on Sundays had closed the

“NEW MARKET SQUARE” TAKES SHAPE ON WESTERN AVENUE

Construction continues on the Western Avenue business district, pictured above, which is coming to be called the “new Market Square.” Mr. Shaw’s elegant design is already considered a monumental improvement, architecturally speaking, on the previous

assortment of frame and brick structures dotting the avenue. The clock towers preside majestically over a novel recessed site plan, and the bank building, despite its newness, possesses a distinguished air. Handsome elms have been planted in a central park. Business tenants are growing anxious to move into their spacious new shops, and their custom-ers anxious to patronize them; barber Charlie Paulson tells us he expects this to come about in April or May at the earliest.

COMINGS AND GOINGSA Summary of the News of 1916

Miss Ginevra King of Ridge Road entertained her guest, Mr. F. Scott Fitzgerald. Miss King and Mr. Fitzgerald met at a sledding party last year in St. Paul while she was visiting Miss Marie Hersey, her roommate from Westover.

Krafft’s Drug store has opened in its new location, 664 North Western Avenue.

The new home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pike has been completed on the lake. Based on Italian Villas, the courtyard, which is quite close to the road, is quite successful at shield-ing the house from the noise along Lake Road. Architects Henry Dangler and David Adler received the commission.

Results of the contest at Lake Forest College to see which seniors could grow the most becoming mustache were announced with Tom Krenger as the winner. The contest was based on a similar one at the University of Chicago. When this test of skills in the field of husbandry was announced, the girls were divided: some thought it would be rough on them, while others said they would be tickled to death.

The President’s special train left the North-western station for Milwaukee at 10:05 yesterday morning. A great crowd, headed by 2,000 school children waving flags, greeted President Wilson when his train stopped in Waukegan for five minutes.

Twenty Lake Forest society girls have orga-nized the Junior Auxiliary of the Playhouse Red Cross Workshop, for the purpose of supplying surgical bandages for the American

soldiers at the front in Mexico. One of the most interested of the workers will be Miss Lolita Armour, daughter of the J. Ogden Armours. Her enthusiasm gave rise to a report, denied by the Armour family, that she had petitioned the war department to permit her enlistment as a Red Cross nurse. Several of the girls have expressed their willingness to give complete service to their country. Mrs. Robert S. Hotz, who is directing their effort, cautioned that any nurses who go to Mexico will likely be those with extensive training in hospitals and not the girls with but a few hours of Red Cross training.

The faculty at Lake Forest College last night abolished sororities—Sigma Tau and Theta Psi—on the grounds that sororities lead to snobbishness.

Railroad officials are hereby warned that every young woman they see carrying her bedclothes and other baggage may not be an immigrant fresh from the south of Europe. They may be young women heading to Lake Geneva for the National Service School camp run under the auspices of the Navy League. They can be distinguished by their uniform of khaki skirt ten inches from the ground, an olive drab flannel army shirt, and army campaign hat. At the two-week camp, local professor John J. Halsey will present a talk entitled “Efficient Women and National Pre-paredness.” Mrs. John J. Mitchell is chairman of the camp committee.

The attendance at the golf luncheon yesterday at the Onwentsia club was low as the strenu-ous days of the Lake Forest Country Fair have decimated the ranks of the golfers. One of the youngest members of the club, Miss Edith Cummings, defeated Mrs. Edward Cudahy. Among the players were Mrs. George Mc-Laughlin, Mrs. Charles Garfield King, Mrs. D. Mark Cummings, Mrs. Jay Morse Ely, Mrs. Stanley Keith, Miss Edith Hoyt, Miss Martha Clow, Miss Sarah Farwell and Miss Anita Aldrich.

Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Carr have begun con-struction of their house on Mayflower and have engaged the services of architect Mr. Harrie T. Lindeberg. It has been suggested they may name their home Wyldwood.

In response to the successful mustache contest, Lake Forest College Seniors are launching a cane contest for the young men on campus. Points will be awarded for the appearance of the stick itself; the aesthetics and dexterity of the hand position; and the ability to hang the cane over one’s arm, open a door or accept a parcel.

Count Bolognesi was unable to get the John Griffith house in Lake Forest as he had ex-pected, and he and the Countess, the former Miss Rosa Garibaldi, have the little house on Brushwood Road which was formerly occupied by Mrs. Bryan. There is sure to be much entertaining in Lake Forest by this very popular bride and bridegroom. The Count is in the employ of the Italian Consulate in Chicago.

The Arden Shore camp, north of Lake Bluff, has had a banner season where a daily aver-age of 525 women and children have been fed and sheltered by the benevolent women who run the camp. Dwellers in the worst city districts had a chance to spend ten days in the lovely park on a high bluff over Lake Michigan. Guests enjoyed plenty of whole-some milk and mothers of babies received instruction from trained nurses on how best to care for their children. The young women were taught to sew, make over, and mend from the many garments donated for this purpose. The camp will be turned back over to the men this winter in the continuing efforts to provide them a place to convalesce.

Deerfield-Shields High School held a mock election: Charles Hughes, 192; Woodrow Wilson, 127; Allan Benson, 2. If Hughes wins, candy will be distributed to all stu-dents. It was noted the women of Illinois will have the opportunity to vote in their first presidential election. Will the opportunity to vote for governor, congressman, and state offices be far behind?

The North Shore Horticultural Society held its first Chrysanthemum Exhibit at the Durand Institute. Mrs. J. Ogden Armour,

the largest exhibitor, won the majority of the prizes. Also on display were hothouse fruits and freak plants.

Miss Nell Craig of Essanay recently addressed a meeting of the Lake Bluff Woman’s Club. Among the questions that prompted discus-sion were “Do you talk like you do in the movies?” and “Do you believe in censorship of pictures?”

The $100,000 home of Mr. and Mrs. Kent Clow on College Road was destroyed by fire. Mr. and Mrs. Clow escaped in their bath robes and aided the fire fighters in rescuing a few articles from their home. Everyone, including children and servants, escaped unharmed despite the quick spread of the flames. Mrs. Clow saved her jewels. Three volunteer firemen were overcome by the heat and smoke but were quickly revived: Joseph Kerrigan, son of Alderman Kerrigan; Aubrey Warren, real estate operator; and Joseph An-derson, owner of the Anderson block. Society members of the volunteer fire department quickly got the small chemical engine to the scene and made a strong effort to save the house.

Several members of the Onwentsia club have begun to advocate for golf and polo on Sun-days. This crisis is viewed by some as being

almost as great as the debate over the Susan B. Anthony amendment. According to many charter members, who are also pillars of the Presbyterian Church, the club was established to “be operated without Sunday pastimes, as was the government to run without suffrage.” The change may be inevitable as it was noted that many of its members go elsewhere to play on Sundays.

The Lake Forest Woman’s Club has elected Mrs. John J. Halsey president. Mrs. Frank Wenban was chair of the nominating com-mittee. Among the programs scheduled for the year is a lecture on the evolution of the flag, to be given at Gorton Hall. Mayor Wil-liam Mather Lewis is also expected to speak about Russia and Russian women. Mr. Lewis will share the news of his year-long travels abroad. He is a distinguished orator, having chaired that department at Lake Forest Acad-emy for almost a decade.

Mr. and Mrs. Laurance Armour have char-tered the yacht Drusilla owned by Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Drexel Paul at Palm Beach. They will take a cruise along the Florida Keys and Gulf Coast.

Commencement at Lake Forest College will take place on Friday, June 16 during the regular prayer hour. For the first time, the graduating class numbers more than 40.

Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cudahy, who with Mrs. George A. McKinlock Sr. and her son George Alexander McKinlock Jr., went to Canada to hunt “big game” a short time ago, have returned to Lake Forest with two deer and moose to their count. Mrs. McKinlock and her son, however, have remained in the north woods as their luck was disappointing.

The Playhouse on the Aldis estate is opening the season with “The Magical City” by Zoe Aitkin. The cast recalls the good old days of the playhouse before it changed its allegiance to the Red Cross. Parts will be played by Mrs. Volney Foster, Ellen Van Volkenburg, Charles T. Atkinson, Volney Foster, Prentiss Coonley and Martyn Johnson.

Plans are well underway by John H. Griffith for the Lake Forest Fire Proof Storage Co. on Bank Lane North. The facility will be available to all local residents who wish to secure their valuables while away or renting their house. The building was designed by Mr. Howard Shaw.

The engagement of John T. McCutcheon to Miss Evelyn Shaw, daughter of Howard Shaw of Ragdale, has been announced. This follows news of the well-known cartoonist’s purchase of Salt Cay, an island in the Baha-mas. It is said that Mr. McCutcheon’s first visit to the island will be on his honeymoon. The Shaw’s city residence is at 1130 Lake Shore Drive.

An addition is being built to the Alice Home Hospital to increase the number of beds from twelve to twenty and to add an elevator. The cost is estimated at $13,000 of which $4,500 was donated from the proceeds of the Horse Show at Onwentsia.

Deerfield-Shields High School beat Chica-go Heights in basketball 80-0 on Saturday, October 7.

Lake Forest was in a whirl of gaiety as mem-bers of the Onwentsia club gathered in the Red Cross rooms there under the direction of Mrs. Babcock. They welcomed old time resi-dent Mrs. Morgan, wife of the former station master. Mrs. Morgan, who did a great deal of work perfectly and without distraction, told how she used to roll bandages by hand at the time of the Civil War when she was a member of the Woman’s Relief Society.

A parcel of 75 acres of the Lakewoods tract north of Mrs. Durand’s Crab Tree Farm has been purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. McElwee. This parcel embraces a frontage on Lake Michigan of 915 feet and extends to the highway just east of the Chicago and North-western railroad and the Chicago, Milwaukee electric line. The property was secured for a country home site. The purchase has special interest by reason of the extensive improve-ments involved, said to cost $150,000. Last year, Mr. Edgar J. Uihlein purchased twenty acres immediately south of and adjoining Mr. McElwee’s purchase, which he has started to

improve for a country home. John Griffith of Lake Forest represented Mr. McElwee in the purchase.

The greatest exhibition of the animal indus-tries the world has ever known, the Chicago Stock show, will open Dec. 2. In addition to the livestock, there will be a show by the “aristocrats of the equine world.” Local competitors include John J. Mitchell, harness and hackney; Prentiss Coonley, saddlers and hunters; Guy Woodin, saddlers and hunters; Miss Katherine Farwell, saddlers.

The Mandolin Club of Deerfield-Shields High School made its debut at a musical assembly on October 2.

The Garden Club of Illinois had a produc-tive meeting at the home of Mrs. Prentiss Coonley. The club had a very successful class in landscape gardening at Lake Forest College under Professor Root. This will probably develop into a permanent summer school.

Lake Forest College has announced its fall football opponents: Northwestern University at Evanston, Y.M.C.A. College at Lake Forest, Lawrence at Lake Forest, Knox at Galesburg, Northwestern College at Lake Forest, Mon-mouth College at Lake Forest, Carroll Col-lege at Waukesha, DePauw at Greencastle.

NAMES OF NOTE

Numbering among the recent graduates of Harvard is George Alexander McKinlock Jr. of Lake Forest. The son of George A. McKin-lock Sr. and the former Marion W. Rappleye, he came up through the Fay School and St. Mark’s of Southborough, Massachusetts. McKinlock Sr. heads the Central Electric

Company in Chicago, and the family resides at their country estate, Brown Gables, at the west end of this city. At Harvard, McKinlock Jr. lettered for the outstanding Crimson football team under coach Percy Haughton, playing alongside the All-American fullback Eddie Mahan.

Alexander McKinlock Jr. is set to join the ranks of patriotic young men at the officers’ training camp at Plattsburg, New York this summer. We look forward to hearing what this fine and worthy young man will do next.

Join the Historical Society at a lecture and book-signing on April 4, 2013 to hear the rest of the story of George Alexander McKinlock Jr. James Carl Nelson, author of Five Lieutenants: The Heartbreaking Story of Five Harvard Men Who Led American to Victory in World War I, will discuss the tale of five brilliant young soldiers, including McKinlock, who took up the call to arms for their country in 1917. McKinlock was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross before dying in action in 1918, becoming possibly the first Lake Forester to die in the conflict. His mother Marion, who worked tirelessly on the homefront organizing Red Cross volunteers, made the journey across the Atlantic to locate her son’s burial site, a pilgrimage rendered more difficult by the fact that his name was misspelled “McKinlow” on his grave. Lake Forest’s American Legion Post 264 was named for George Alexander McKinlock Jr. This free program is co-sponsored by the Historical Society and Lake Forest College, and will take place at 7 p.m. at Calvin Durand Hall in the Mohr Student Center/Stuart Commons, Lake Forest College Middle Campus.

book on the subject. Sources have revealed to this author that this specter of iniquity, in total contravention of Lake Forest’s reputa-tion as a restful, moral suburb, is in fact still rumbling beneath the surface, sure to rear its ugly head sometime next year. Why? It seems that the youth of our city are simply ventur-ing to neighboring towns on Sundays to view motion pictures.
