CHAPTER XXII CHICAGO (1893)

[Kent Mueller]

That sounds like fact, and Wisconsin probably became part of Michigan
Territory until it's own statehood, if I remember. I'd guess regardless of
legislation that the phrase persisted long after that in popular usage.

My wife works in title insurance and the field has been thoroughly
digitalized in recent years, she retrieved some of the old-fashioned hard
copy titles as they were being thrown out. I just grabbed that one as an
example (didn't have a Lot 49 handy). They're bizarrely interesting because
things like divorces, suicides, family spats, etc. regularly show up.
Anything that could have a legal effect on the title to a piece of land
would end up in there. Now it's all done on-line for the most part,
eliminating jobs for doofuses not unlike ourselves who once haunted
courthouse basements from coast to coast.

12-5 in Chicago sounds great.
