Spoke in Favor of Layman. By J. Seymour Currey. Many years before the railroad was built through Evanston. while the lo- cality was still known as Gross. Point, Mai. Edward H. Mulford and his fam- ily dwelt iu a small frame house nca< tie spot where the St. Krancis hos- pital now stands. He was addicted to prophecies, one of which was that Chicago would become the "Queen Cl»> of the West:" another that rail- roads would be built iu" the region surrounding the city. The possibility of railroads in the period i>r the later thirties was considered doubtful, though a few thoughtful men began to predict them. A Real Prophet Major Mulford would take his vis I iters to the back door of his house : and, waving his hands toward the low j ridg.' where Calvary station now , stands, exclaim. "Some day. my friends, you will set" the iron horse | speeding along its path of steel riuht ! over there" Twenty years was to j elapse before hjs prophecy eajne true, j but. dreamer that lie was. he saw cle.'-rly tjie destiny; of the great city j ami the surrounding region Was Offered ArW.y Commission. DeWitt Clinton, the famous .New J York governor, once issued a com- i mission to Mulford as a major in the New York state militia some years] before he came west. Mulford arrived j 'in L'hlciigy i'i is:'..>, when he was »:: ( yens old. and engaged iii business' there The next year he took up a tract of land within the limits of the. |.r-s.-nt city ol Evanston, and built upon it a small frame house, not a Ion house as some of the accounts ha\e it. He spent the remainder ol his life in ICvanstou and reached the advanced age of SO years. j A Baptist Deacon. H> reason of his commission he ! was known as Major Mulford. He was | a member of the Baptist church, and in woxkiuK xm Xhc project andii'O^. the formation of a society here he became deacon, and at a later trrme he--was elentod justice of- the peace, and so was known as "Squire."
