Evidence note (master store)

John Lansing settled at Lansing in early days, owned a large amount of property, and was instrumental in getting the old Great Eastern road to build through the place (Chicago Tribune, Mar. 4, 1900). Cook County's hazard-mitigation annex (tier 1, fetched) likewise lists 'Henry, George, and John Lansing' as settling the area in 1846.
