The last of this tract Is now platted and Is being put on the market by A, F. Tukey ft Son. This Is known as Redick's Second addition. It contains forty-six lots, between Thirty first and Thirty-third streets and be tween Jackson and Leavenworth. Into rest has always centered around this old spot on account of the great maplo grove. In which the big picnics were hold In the pioneer days of Omaha's history. The tract now thrown on the market Is still a part of this famous old grove and con talus a great many huge trees. Judge W. A. Redlck says one of the first picnics he can remember in this grove was given by Mrs. John McCor mlck in 1868. Over 200 were present. Two good springs bubbled up In the grove In those days, so there was plenty goon waUr for the picnickers. Where the present boulevard is. a small creek ran through the grove at that time. Judge Redick's father dammed this and made a fine swimming hole for the boys. The winding roads through the grove in pio neer days made It the fashionable drive of the citjr. Redick's Grove originally comprised lflo acres of the farm hotnesteaded by a man named Weatherwax. ' In 1861. going to war. he sold 100 acres to John L Redlck. This 100 acres extended from Farnam to Leavenworth and from Twenty-seventh to Thirty-third street, except for a jog on the east. A large part of the ground Is now oovered with residences, stores, churches, the Nicholas Bonn hospital. Temple Israel, and so on.
