Who the hell is Lefty Leifield?

According to Aaron Rakers' bio at PortlandBeavers.com, Aaron (h)ails from Trenton, Ill., a city that claims Lefty Leifield, who amassed 124 wins and a 2.47 ERA in 296 big league games from 1905-1920 (Pittsburgh, Cubs, St. Louis), among its major league products.

Lefty was born in Trenton in 1883 and even won 20 games in 1907, with a 2.44 era.

Really?

Trenton existed in 1883?
