#100YearsAgoToday In early July, Lake Forest City Council authorized an effort by the City Forester to trim hedges on parkways and corners in town to make streets and intersections safer for automobiles. But some residents of Green Bay Road, like Amelia McLaughlin Hardin, found the forester’s shears a bit overenthusiastic, and cried foul. Amelia Hardin was the wife of Martin D. Hardin, who had fought with the U.S. Army in the Civil War as a brigadier general; the Hardins lived at 1145 North Green Bay. Her objections were heeded, at least momentarily, as the hedge remained untouched. | |
