On page 151 of the Free Ebooks Edition of Jules Verne's
Le Testament d'un Excentrique (1899), we encounter this sentence:
En quittant Chicago, après avoir contourné le golfe inférieur du lac Michigan, le train entra dans l'Indiana, limitrophe d l'Illinois, à la station d'Ainsworth et il remonta jusqu'à Michigan City.
My amateur translation:
On leaving Chicago, after having skirted round the lower gulf of Lake Michigan, the train entered into Indiana, bordering Illinois, at the Ainsworth station and it went back up to Michigan City.
The book in this edition is 520 pages long. It makes no further mention of Ainsworth. The story seems to be set in 1897.
