Next to William's monument in Oakwood Cemetery is Elizabeth Condell's grave. Our Great Great Aunt Elizabeth had moved about 15 miles west of Lake Bluff to Libertyville, Illinois, died in 1917 and left money to start a hospital in Libertyville. I had always heard stories about some Condells leaving money for an Illinois hospital, and I thought it was Aunt Elizabeth, but I never could figure out why she would want it in Illinois rather than Kansas. I visited the Condell Memorial Clinic which is now the largest hospital in Lake County. They are enlarging it and totally by coincidence had just opened the original cornerstone two weeks ago. On display in the lobby glass case was a copy of Elizabeth's will typed by her lawyers on that old sort of oily paper. I was thrilled!! Unfortunately they were also repainting the walls, so their one picture of Elizabeth was in storage. Maybe next time. Apparently some other 90 year old relative (name not Condell) has stayed connected to the hospital and will also will her land when she dies. They will give her my name and hopefully she will contact me. So, we can be very proud of our Great Great Aunt Elizabeth. Aunt Joan said Great Aunt Elizabeth was also civic minded, donated to scouts and a cabin near El Dorado is named for her. - Prissy Lee 16 Jul 2001
