The hotel burned down in 1910, and thus the last physical vestige of the projected city of Sheffield followed the fate of its predecessors. Like Waverly, it left its name on an avenue.
There have been more than a score of these adventurous projects in this region that have failed. Some were premature- ly launched ; some were overtaken by calamities and adversities unavoidable by man, and some were evidently promoted with downright dishonesty. I might note that examples of the latter were Baxter's Addition to Chicago and River Shore Addition, both in the marshes of the Little Calumet river, near the site of Liverpool, whose only inhabitants during all these years have been muskrats and fowl that feed upon wild rice; whose paper streets no census enumerator has ever trod- den in all the decades since their dedication, and whose alleys have been overgrown with tall grasses for a possible thousand years, and whose inaccessible location doubtless not even a surveyor has ever entered.
Concluding, let me add that there have been dreams here- abouts which were not all dreams. A little while ago there were some dreamers who dreamed not of the "fountain of youth" nor the "pot of gold at the foot of the rainbow," but of a place at which all the raw materials which enter into the production of steel could be assembled at a hitherto unknown minimum of cost; to which the ore, the heaviest of all, machin- ery-mined-and-loaded, could be transported without an iron- rail or the touch of a human hand. They were captains of industry-craft-descendants of old Tubal-Cain. They had both enterprise and capital. They dreamed of a great army of men daily making tons and tons of steel, while great towers were emitting smoke "like incense from the altar of labor." They awoke and sought the place of which they had dreamed. By and by they found the place on the banks of a two-mouthed, sourceless, sluggish, silent stream, skirting the shore of an inland sea. They sought the employment of many men, and had the means to satisfy the pay-roll. (Maybe that helped the dream to come true). They built furnaces, factories and mills. Thousands of men are at work, and the smoke ascends, and sometimes descends, but a city close by is building, still build-

ing-not built. Both site and city are unexampled and un- rivalled. The incorporating citizens of the new town sought not the capitals nor marts of the old world for a name; they just gave it the name of one of the dreamers-the outstand- ing figure in the world of steel-Gary. But I have wandered far from the subject of my story, for I have passed from dreams that did not come true to dreams that did. I leave the story of this adventure for some historian who shall chronicle achievements as well as aspirations-deeds as well as dreams. I revert, but just to say that, after all, those "Cities" whose prophets were false, or-came too soon, lie buried in a land of marvels, and sometime, we know not the day, they may yet arise, like the fabled phoenix, from their mouldering ruins, at the sounding of the trumpet of Progress, and those streets long ago dedicated but never used, marked or graded, may yet resound with the foot-steps of a busy metropolitan popu- lation.

The Passing of the Pioneers
SAM B. WOODS
The following is a list (likely incomplete) of the names of the old settlers of the county, who have passed to their final abode since the date of our last publication, 1924, with the dates of their passing, and brief comments. The facilities of the Association for the compilation of such list, together with desired data, being very imperfect, the list doubtless unavoidably lacks many names and considerable data which should have been included.
Such names and data as we are able to give, subject to prob- able errors and ommissions, follow :

Addenda (Omission from Historical Secretary's Report) BY ARTHUR G. TAYLOR
One of the oustanding community projects in Indiana, com- pleted in the year 1927, was the erection of the Community Building in Crown Point.
It is of interest, historically, that this structure stands partially on the site of the Solon Robinson homestead at the northwest corner of the courthouse square.
This edifice, of brick and concrete construction, is approxi- mately seventy-five feet by one-hundred-seventy-eight feet in size and is fully two stories in height. The front portion of the building, which has two floors, contains commodious club, dining, and conference rooms and a large lobby. Immediately back of this section is the auditorium which is two stories in height and seventy-five feet by one-hundred feet in the clear. West of the auditorium is the large stage with dressing rooms on each side. This auditorium is so arranged that it can be easily converted into a gymnasium with bleachers along the wall.
Credit for the financing and erection of the Community Building belongs to the Fred Schmidt Post of The American Legion which took the lead in raising the necessary funds, made a large contribution towards its construction and as- sumed the burden of paying the balance of the indebtedness.
The total cost of the building was approximately $110,000. The building committee in charge of the work consisted of the following citizens of Crown Point:
Harry Claussen, John Ward Wheeler, William F. Carroll, Roy Fagen, Major Allman, Herbert Johnson, Arthur J. Hen- derlong and William Whitaker.
The dedication ceremonies took place on the Sunday pre- ceding Armistice Day in 1927. John Ward Wheeler acted as general chairman for the day. Among the addresses made by distinguished visitors we might mention those delivered by
207
HISTORY OF LAKE COUNTY
Howard Savage of Chicago and Paul McNutt of Blooming- ton, Ind., one a past National Commander of the American Legion and the other destined to occupy the same position.
Through the efforts of Geo. W. Frederick, a museum, known as the Boy Scout Museum has been established at Crown Point. The collection of relics belonging to the Lake County Historical Association has been given space among the exhib- its. We trust that, in the near future, an effort will be made to secure more adequate and fire-proof quarters for the mu- seum. There are many documents, books, etc. of historical val- ue throughout the county, which should be in such a museum to insure their preservation.
Note: The above articles, through an oversight on the part of the writer were omitted from the Report of the Historical Secretary and are inserted here.
