"Benjamin T. Gault, called "the bird man" by the village folk lived for many years in the house on the southwest corner of Main and Hawthorne, last occupied by the Earl Twichells. He is a member of the American Ornithological Union, the National Geographic Society, the American Audubon Society, the Cooper Ornithological Society of Cali-
fornia, secretary of the Wilson Ornithological Club, also on the advisory council of "Bird Lore." He writes for this magazine, also the Smithsonian Institute, the Auk, Birds and Nature and Forest and Stream. In pursuing his bird studies, Mr. Gault has traveled far and wide.
Mr. Gault lived in the house on Main street with his mother until her death at the age of ninety years, when he sold his home and left Glen Ellyn for a time. The house during his occupancy, was filled on the first floor, with cases reaching to the ceiling containing stuffed specimens of birds of all kinds from every country. It was considered a
great honor to have the privilege of viewing this collection and the Study Club and school children were so honored.
The Gault house on Madison and Market, Chicago, is owned by his family. Mr. Gault returned in 1928 to Glen Ellyn to make his home."
