Woodin Farms 



Wilson, Illinois 



MR. WOODIN'S farm comprises three hundred and twenty acres 

 and is known as Woodin Farms and is about five miles north 

 of Lake Forest on Telegraph Road. Until recently he has 

 maintained his country place for the training of hunters for show 

 purposes. In the fall he sold his entire stable to L. K. Liggett in the 

 East, but at the present time has a man in Virginia looking for some 

 "green" hunters and will probably have another stable lined up, at 

 least, in time for the South Shore Country Club Horse Show. In the 

 spring, early June, his family moves out there and stays until the mid- 

 dle of September. His daughters, Jane, aged twelve, and Martha, 

 seven, are enthusiastic equestriennes also. Jane showed her pony, 

 "Chestnut Girl," at South Shore in June. Martha has not tried the 

 hurdles yet, but gets a good deal of pleasure and much excitement 

 (since he discovered she was not stationary) out of a diminutive Shet- 

 land called "Glen E." The buildings on the place are not especially 

 elaborate — the house is built on Colonial lines and all the buildings 

 are white with green trimmings.
