Description

Dugan, "Village on the county line" (1949) p. 97, cites an unnamed Chicago newspaper of July 7, 1874 reporting on the Fourth of July celebration in Hinsdale, at "Walker's Grove at the north end of Elm Street" " a game of baseball [was] played between the young men of Brush Hill and Hinsdale, in which the Brush Hill boys got beaten."

Brush Hill was another name for Fullersburg, just north of modern Hinsdale.
