There was still a sprinkling of Indian inhabitants and rail transportation was as yet a rather remote prospect. Deer and wild game in variety were so plentiful that hunt- ing could be done from the rear door steps of the homes. Later, when the Chicago and North- western railway penetrated the territory Mr. May often walked to Winnetka or I'.vanston for a train, since there were for a number of years, no station facili- ty's m Wilmette.
