The Lake Shore District
Many of the early articles in Roberts' history refer to this as "the Lake Shore District." And here is why. Looks like the Arnold Farm and Lester and Ida Weber are in the Lake Shore District. Our farm was surrounded by drainage ditches.
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.
