Neiting Grove . . . never heard of that.

Neiting Grove. Just outside of Roberts. Looks like the road we took to the farm. Near the Musson's and Lloyd Flessner's place. Was the grove that we know so large that it extended several miles outside of Roberts?

A new map I found today.

--ATLAS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 1876.

I found this map today at the library. Neiting Grove . . . don't think I have ever run across that name. Beeset [sic] Grove on this map is still a station. Which I think means a train station or depot is still located there in 1876. And the Lake Shore District in Section 8, 7 and 6 is a "Lake" in this atlas. At one time this must have been a very significant body of water. Lots of schools also. And a church in Section 27.
