Edellyn Farms 



Wilson, Illinois 



EDELLYN FARMS, the name given to Mr. Thomas E. 

 Wilson's country home, is a combination of the 

 names of his daughter. Miss Helen Wilson, and his 

 son, Edward Foss Wilson. The estate lies within a short 

 distance from Lake Forest, though the nearest railroad 

 station is Wilson, 111. 



Edellyn Farms consists of approximately 450 acres and 

 is farmed intensively. Grains of various kinds are raised 

 for feeding to the live stock, which is Mr. Wilson's prin- 

 cipal diversion. He specializes in high-grade saddle and 

 harness horses, Clydesdale draft horses, besides devoting 

 much attention to breeding and raising Shorthorn cattle 

 and other pure bred live stock. 



In the summer months, Mr. Wilson and his family spend 

 most of their time at the country home, while in winter, 

 weather permitting, Mr. Wilson finds recreation in making 

 week-end trips to his farm.
