The evidence

  • “In 1859, he changed his residence to Evanston, 111., on account of the superior advantages it offered for the education of his children, and of its proximity to Chicago, where he contemplated entering into business. " I shall never live elsewhere," he said, soon after locating there, " no place ever suited me so well as this."”
