=pP .5 Farming was not especially good around Lake Forest. The lake shore was heavily wood¢cd, and the land rocky. Westward lay the Skokie swamp. Many of the early settlers simnly souatted along the lake shore, bu'lt flimsy shacks for shelter and aubsisted prineipally through fishing. Somm they were joined by the char-- coal burners, and avite a thriving village of shanties developed. It 4s related that Lake Forest's first man-- sipn was built {n 1847. when-- Pat-- or havybe Mike--McConlevy built a palatial lo« cabin containing . three rooms _ That was just three times as many rooms as any Lake Forest bhame had possessed previonsly, and it was thoueht that the McCanleys were snreading it on a hit thick. Chosen by Presbyterians All of this happened before Lake Forest had any corporate existence. In 1855 a committee of Presbyterian church workers seeking a site near Chirago for a Presbyterian college discovered the lake, the woods, bluffs and ravines at Lake Forest and de-- cded they need. look no farther for a campus.

'They heard of the cheap land to be bad in Lake county and moved into Deerfield and Shields townshivs in great numbers. At an early dxute in the county's history it is said there were only two per-- sons in the southeastern portion: of the county who did noa celebrate the 1%th of March, one a German named Ostrander and the other a New Eng-- land<r name swain, the latter so great a curiosity among his Irist noighbors that he was known through out the county by th enickname "Yankee' Swain. Sweeney, Conley, McConnell, Moo nev, Maloney, Melody are typical cames from the roster of early set-- tlers. The estate of J. Qgden Ar-- mour, one of Lake --county's show places, bears the name of the orig-- inal owner, "Melody Farm," in honor of Patrick Melody, who helped dig tre canal, and from whose hbeirs Mr Armour purchased the land. Per-- bans the euphony of the name ex-- plains why Mr. Melody was honored. HOW LAKE FOREST BECA ME COLONY OF MILLIONAIRES Was Settled by Fishermen and Charcoal Burners; Helped by College Site.

The first impetus to Lake Forest as a summer colony for~Chicago millionaires seems to .trace back to Sylvester Lind, -- Chicago lumberman and banker. Mr. Lind's bank had branches in Milwaukee and Chlcaso.i and he usid to make trips on horse-| back every week or oftener, carry-- ing money and papers between thel two institutions. On these trips he passed through Lake Forest and suc-- cumbed to the lure of its beauty. Hej built a fine home in 1860, and the next year induced Charles: B. Far well, then a leading figude in Chl-1 icago'u business world, to spend the summer with him. Thereafter, for ten years, Mr. Farwell cspent his summers at Mr. Lind's home and in 1871 built a home of his own there. .

The 650 acres sold for more than twice the amount paid for the original® 2,000. The same year the plat was recorded and the Lake Forest hotel, a $6,400° structure,, was built.
