WOODSIDE PARK
IS GIVEN TO PUBLIC
FOR PICNIC GROUND
Curtis G. Lloyd, a scientist of Cin-
cinnati, has purchased the pretty
woodland tract on the Southern Railway
beyond Erlanger, Ky., and hereafter
it will be a free gathering place
for all worthy organizations and nature
lovers.
For twenty-five years the Erlanger
and Woodside Land Companies used
the park as a shady spot for their excursionists
to picnic while viewing the
thousands of lots. These projects having
been consummated," the ground has
been vacant for some years and now
Mr. Lloyd comes along and proposes
to endow this gem .of shadeland, so
that it will forever remain a resort for
the people without fees or rentals.
If proper appreciation is shown he
contemplates adding shelter pavilions
and other accommodations for churches
and schools that come to the place to
picnic.
Like the Lloyd Botanical Library on
Court street, all expenses are paid by
this philanthropist and arrangements
for its perpetuation after his death will
be made.
Erlanger, Elsmere and Florence can
name this attraction as another reason
why the C., N. & C. Railway should extend
its line to that thriving section.
Temporarily George C.
whom Mr. Lloyd made the
Bloss, with
deal for the
land, will manage the property for the
benefit of all who wish to quietly enjoy
its charms. The Commercial Tribune,
Cincinnati, October 9, 1915.
The above article, while not strictly mycolotrical,
will throw a sidelight on the character
of the author of these Letters, perhaps, not
generally known to our readers.
