It seems undisputed that the origin of the name is due to a remark made by the Rev. Mr. Slocum. He was standing with several others, upon the bluff near Mr. R. H. lvlcElwee's and Mrs. C. B. Farwell's, discussing a fitting name for the place. Look here, gentlemen, he said, What is this before us? A lake, they an- swered. 'fAnd what is this behind us? A for- est, they answered. Pointing with his hand to the lake, and then to the forest, he said, What better name can we have than 'Lake Forest'? The suggestion was so satisfactory that one and another in a properly religious way said Amen. -Pastor James G. K. McClure History of the Presbyterian Church, 'I905 , . Jim Anderson's Store 7 Lake Forest is known today as one of the most beautiful suburban towns in the country, Its ad- vantageous situation on the blutts, a hund'e:3 feet above Lake Michigan, is enhanced by the great forest of oaks and hickories that has been preserved, and amid which the hcrres a'e placed. The winding streets are all paved, but to a width of only eighteen or twenty feet . . , As few fences intervene, the result is that the whole town presents a park-like effect. in the midst of this forest park are the beautiful horhes. occupying from one to fifty acres. in the suv'-M of i909 the dust problem was sclxed by c licg or tarring all the roadways of the town. -John J. Halsey, LL.D. History of Lake County, 'l9'l2
