1956: Elmer Drew Merrill, American botanist, taxonomist and director of the New York Botanical Garden, died at Forest Hills, Massachusetts.
There really isn't a "Forest Hills, MA! There's Forest Hills station and the Forest Hills neighborhood which are part of the Jamaica Plain section of Boston. But if you were in Boston already, you'd say "I live near Forest Hills Station, in JP" and if you were elsewhere in MA, you'd probably just say "I live in Boston."
I have seen correspondence between some of my relatives around that time frame. The street addresses weren't given, just the neighborhood. so back then they may have said: Forrest Hills, Boston, Mass.
