      Hartwell Robinson, at one time owned the land
      west of the James Millikin residence to Fairview park,
      and from West Main street north to Eldorado street,
      including what was later known as Oakland park and
      which is now the campus of the James Millikin university.
      Much of this land was purchased from the heirs by the late
      James Millikin, and he later donated Oakland
      park as the site for the James Millikin University.
