Suit to claim Streeterville heirs rights filed in Oakland
Mrs Eva Lane of Oakland plans to travel to Chicago to press a claim that Streeterville, 193 acres once linked to the Gold Coast, should belong to her as an heir. She cites 1886 events when Capt George Wellington Streeter stranded a schooner, built a breakwater, and created the area. Lane says she and her Milwaukee-based brother Dr James A Logan are the sole legitimate heirs, tracing lineage to Alonzo Streeter, a first cousin of the captain.
