(Winslow, Lena, & McConnells Grove) These towns are all located in Illinois, Lena & McConnells are very close to Winslow, Illinois.
All are very close to the border of Wisconsin, so the Team still could have been located there? My guess is Illinois??

Hmmm... interesting Shawn! I think you may actually be right. In my search I did not come across a Winslow, IL. Good detective work!
BTW, if you look earlier in this thread, I own a White Stockings (IL) pass from a similar time frame in my own collection. It's the green colored pass (ticket). If memory serves me, the Chicago White Stockings were a precurser to the eventual NL Chicago Cubs.
