"Just across the line" from where?

@Frederick crowe: This is pretty minor, but I think the line "Nelson instructed Helen Gillis to steer into the entrance of Barrington's North Side Park, just across the line from Fox River Grove, and stop." is wrong. I can only say what the situation is now and it may not have been the same then, but the southern-most point of Fox River Grove (at SR 22) is about 4 miles NW of the park (now known as Langendorf Park). In between is Cuba Township, Lake County (which has been there since about 1900), but the Lake County portion of the Village of Barrington is *part of Cuba Township* so it wouldn't make sense to say "just across the line from Cuba Township." Even more minor - the Village of Barrington Hills is just SW of the railroad tracks alongside of US 14 (NW of Barrington), so it probably wasn't quite in the action that day - maybe 10-20 yards away from it. Besides - it wasn't formed until much later. You can use Google Maps to check out the current maps, e.g. just type in "Fox River Grove, IL" Smallbones_(smalltalk) 14:07, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
