Mildred, where did you live in Elmhurst? I lived there as a child from about 1953-1966.

All you have to do is ask me! My parents moved to Wheaton in 1919 and I was born there in 1924 and grew up there till I married and moved to Elmhurst in 1952. Ask me anything about Wheaton! My father even worked for the railroad! > On the other hand, Harmon's history of Glen Ellyn was written in the 1920s when the community was well-established and when the earliest settlers had died. For this reason, I guess, her book reflects more interest in what ordinary life was like then < Mildred in Lake Geneva, WI
