Club Leases From Syndicate Wilmette G. C. is young in golf. The club "arrived" because it had to. It was back in 1922 that a syndicate of three men, Robert Cunningham, Joseph Roseman and George O'Neill, looking to the future, purchased the land--235 acres on the north side of Lake avenue immediately west of the - present Skokie Valley branch of the * North Shore line. Perhaps they "saw" the time when a railroad would run | l en through that section. That hope has % $ been realized and with it came a me- teoric jump in land values.
