Chicago -SoOn to be divided in
Rogers Park is a little estate, the
story of which would interest readers
not only in Chicago, but in hundreds
of homes in other states.
On this property stand seven hon
ey-locust trees that were grown from
seed produced by the parent tree in
side the stockade at Fort Dearborn.
The seed was gathered and the trees
nurtured and guarded by three wom-
en- of three different generations Of
the same family. one Of whom, with
her family, is still living under their
shade.
The estate is known as the Kyle
property. There was a house and a
remnant Of a tract of 100 acres of
land that was bought from the gov
eminent for $1.25 an acre. The land
is now worth about $4,000 an acre.
In the early history of Cook county
Mrs. Sarah Marshall, who was born
in Nottingham. England. in 1888, came
10 Illinois and settled on the ridge
about ten miles north of the mouth
of the Chicago river. Shortly after.
wards she obtained several of the
pods that grew on honey-locust tree
on the site of Fort Dearborn. The
beanlike seeds were extracted and
planted. When the young locusts were
large enough they were set out in
different places about the farm, and
later were dug up and replanted.
These trees produced seeds that
were given to many friends in diff
ferent parts of this country, and from
the trees that grew from it other
seeds were produced until the distri-
button has assumed the proportions
of a problem in arithmetical progress
sion.
Long before Mrs Marshall died
the care of the Fort Dearborn
locusts, as they always have been
called was transferred to her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Ann Kyle, whose husband
was the master of a vessel on Lake
Michigan, and therefore spent most of
his time away from home.
When the town authorities threat
ened to cut down six of the trees be.
cause they stood on the roadway,
Mrs. Kyle stood guard over them,
armed with a shotgun, and threatened
to shoot the first man to sink an ak
in one of them
When Mrs. Kyle died the care of
the trees passed to her heirs, chief
among them being her daughter, Mrs
Maxwell who is the present guardian
of the trees that have produced the
seed for shade for probably a thou
sand homes, scattered over a big sec.
ton of the United States.
