Old letters and documents of Dodds/Hollinshead families dating from 1830 to 1880s, originals in possession of Hugh Dodds, Saranac, MI, copied by me in 1989
He married Catharine ?, Before 1812. Born Circa 1794 in PA.
Catharine was the executrix of her husband's estate. After the debts were paid there was virtually nothing left for her to live on, to support herself and a minor child.
The heirs of Richard Hollinshead were not listed in his estate papers. It is probable that there were other children than the ones I have record of, because there are large gaps between their births--John ca 1810, Elizabeth ca 1813, Philip ca 1815, Nathan ca 1817, Jesse ca 1824, unnamed female child who was a minor in 1841, therefore born after 1825
I have found no record of her after 1849, when she was mentioned in a letter from Jesse Hollinshead to James and Elizabeth Dodds dated 11 Feb 1849 as living with John Hollinshead (Jesse lived with him also), but no mention of the location they lived at that time

Margaret H. Truax, relict of the late Thomas Truax, died at the home of her son-in-law, Henry H. Deshong, in Belfast township, March 18, 1901, after a long illness. She was 77 years, 8 months, and 23 days old.
She was a daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Wm. Hart and was born in Belfast township. She became the wife of Thomas Truax on August 25, 1844, and together they journeyed life's road, each happy in the other. But to their happy and hospitable home the civil war brought sorrow as that dreadful conflict did to thousands of other homes. The husband and father died July 24, 1864, at Alexandria, Virginia. From that time, for over thirty-six years, the widow found her comfort and happiness in her children, four of whom, out of a family of eight, still survive. They are Joseph, Rebecca, the widow of Samuel Truax, Mrs. Henry H. DeShong, and Mrs. Frank Mason of this place.
Truly she was a good mother and her children will now only realize her true value. The later years of her life she made her home with Henry H. Deshong and family, and from this home her remains were born to their last meeting place in Sideling Hill Baptist church by six of her nephews. Services conducted by her pastor, Rev. C. L. Funk. She had been for years a consistent member of the Primitive Baptist church.

"Much of the country was unsettled in the vicinity of the family home [Deavertown, Ohio] at that time, and James later told his children of his trips to the home of John Dodds, along an Indian path through the woods, many times hearing the Indians and not infrequently meeting them.

The 1880 Ohio Mortality Schedule has a James Dodds, age 84, male, married, birthplace PA, parents' birthplace PA, farmer, month of death February, cause of death Marasmus, 60 years residence, DL5-102 (Delaware County, Co-Ed 5/Family 102). {Delaware County is two counties south of Crawford County} It is not known if this is our James Dodds, especially since he was listed as 40 years of age in the 1850 census in Keene Twp., Ionia County, MI, which would make his year of birth 1810. This man's year of birth would have been about 1796, which doesn't make it likely that this is our James Dodds. Still, further research is needed.
Also, the book, "Beford Co, PA Archives," Vol 4, Ed. by James B. Whisker, copyright 1988, reprinted 1992, on pg 68 lists Schellburg Old Log Church Subscription to Complete the Gallery, 7/19/1814--James Dodds, $2.00. It is not known if this is our James Dodds

James Hollins forty is lite timder [timber] land with a cut swamp on it, I think about five achors in it. Thair cherry, red acron [acorn--perhaps meaning red oak?], black walnut, bass wood. John swamp is about twenty rod wide and thirty rod long. It runs to apinte [a point] [where] the widest plase is twenty rodd and runs to apint [where] your land has no tamarac on it. I don't think thair is one achor of wast land on it. It is what you mite call timber opening. Thair is [a] shugar bush on it and black berry bushes and hazle bushs [hazel bushes] high as you[r] hed. And Mr. Albert lives one mild [mile] and aquarter from it, Mr. Groop lives a mile from it and Mother Groop lives about one mile from it. And Mother Groop has chopt ten achors and cabbula[crabapple?] to put up a house this summer that is about [a] half mild [mile] from your land. It is one mild [mile] from the river. It is about one mile from a good grist mill and a good store.
Mr. Albert has got about seventy achors of improvements in fifty acres, Chopt logs up for it. He has got fifty achors of wheat and Groop twenty five. I advis you to come out. My advis may be rong , but I dnt think it is.
You wanted to know sumthing about Hugh. I dont know what to till you in deed aboht [about] him, he now talks of going down the river to work. He talks of saylin on lake mishagon [Lake Michigan] and I dno [dont] think he will, whilst writing he started [?]. They hant mutch telling what he means to dwo . He work[ed] for a cow and fooled her away. He agreed to let me have the use of her this summer for the truble he has bin to us, but however I never sayd a word to him and no he is gon [gone] and owes me about three dollars. I hav done all I can for him. He did not pay them tasses [taxes] for you, he had the money in his pocket. His neighbors told him he had better pay them, but he did not do it. You can take theas fiew lines for the truth, but dont get discurag [discouraged], com on.

From the book, "Biographical Sketch of Franklin Co. [PA]"--ISAAC HOLLENSHEAD, distiller, P. O. Foltz, was born in Belfast Township, Fulton Co., Penn., August 11, 1830, a son of James and Mary (Millott) Hollenshead, who were also born in Belfast Township, where the father died and where the mother still resides on the old homestead. Isaac was reared in Fulton County, and there resided until 1863, when he entered the service of his country in Company H, One Hundred and Fifty-eighty Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, serving ten months. He then returned home but soon again enlisted in the Two Hundred and Ninth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, Company D, and served until the close of the war. He was in the engagements at Fort steadman and in the operations about Petersburg and vicinity that resulted in the fall of Richmond and the surrender of Gen. Lee. He was discharged at Harrisburg, and returned to Fulton County. He worked by the day one year, and in 1867 moved to Cove Gap, !
and two years later started in the distillery business in partnership with A. J. Unger. Six years later this partnership was dissolved, and since then Mr. Hollenshead has continued alone. The daily capacity of the distillery is twelve bushels and thirty-three pounds, and the ordinary run is up to that limit. Mr. Hollenshead married, in Fulton County, October 11, 1853, Miss Matilda Correll, and they have two children living, Sylvester and Joseph, latter married to Clara McFadden, residing in Franklin County. Mr. Hollenshead has eighty-four acres of land, but does no farming himself.
Fulton Democrat, March 16, 1887, Fulton Co, PA--Mr. Isaac Hollenshead died at his home at the distillery on Cove mountain on Saturday, aged about fifty-five years.
Medical: Anita Bradford's records show they had two other sons, Wesley Hollenshead (ca 1860-Bef 1960) and M. William "William M." Hollenshead (ca 1860 - Bef 1960) whose wife was Mary E. Hollenshead. No other records yet found show Isaac and Matilda with these two sons.
It is likely that Sylvester West and Wesley are the same person.

[From the newspaper, PUBLIC OPINION, Chambersburg, PA, these letters were written by Amos Hockensmith to his wife, Martha Hollenshead. The article was '"It Was The Same Then, Civil War Soldier's Letters," Thursday, Oct. 7, 1971, by Monica Stine, Public Opinion Staff Writer, First of Three Articles]
Out of envelopes yellowed with age came this series of 1862 Civil War letters. The young lad who wrote them, Amos Hockensmith, was homesick for his family and farm but determined to do his duty for his country. His main concern was for his wife Martha, who had to carry on at home.
The young soldier was serving in the 158th Regiment of Infantry Company H, Pennsylvania Volunteers.
The letters have been edited. Personal or repetitious pats have been omitted and punctuation added. In places where the handwriting was unclear the words have been spelled as close as possible to the authors intended spelling.
Dear Martha,
Amos Hockensmith started almost every letter with ... Dear wife, It is with pleasure that I now am able to rite you a few lines to let you know that I am well at this presant time and hope when this few lines comes to hand that they will find you all enjoying the same blessing of god the giver of all good gifts. ...
December 12 1862 ... I received your letter on Wendesday stating that you was all well wich I was glad to hear. It seemed a good while to hear from you. I would like to come home to see you all but it is no use to think about coming yet for a while but as soon as they start the furlows again I will come home to see you all.
I can't tell for certain wether we will stay here this winter or not yet. There is so many reports about leaving here an I expect there is there to Captain Sipes. He started to Fulton County on the first of the week with about 25 men of the 727th regiment to hunt up the drafted men that has run of and them that never reported.
Them that is taken, they will have to serve the nine months out after they are taken in. Some with ball and chain and then drummed out of the service and branded with the letter D on their cheek.
It is very warm here today and muddy to. The company is all middling well at this time. There is some sick and they are gone to the hospital.
We cant get out to town any more without a pass from the Connel. If they do go they are shure to be fetched back in under the polece guard. There is some of them nearly all the time. Last Friday night there was about three hundred started to go home. They went up to the guard and the most of them stopped but still the next morning there was about fifty men a missing but very few of them that has come in yet.
Camp Suffolk Vargnia,
December 21, 1862 ... We got here to this camp safe on last wendesday at 7 oclock in the evning. We was marched rite into the woods and there we had to stay with out tents We jest layed down on the ground and slept till morning.
Now we have got our tents up and we sleep very warm in them. It is not cold here now. There has not been any snow here this winter yet.
We got on the steamboa at Washington on Monday, and landed at Norfolk on Wendesday about 2 oclock and there got on the cars again and landed at Suffolk at about 6 oclock that evening and then marched to camp that night.
The way we come we left camp Mc--- on Friday the 12th and landed at Baltimore on Saturday morning the 13th and left there at 5 oclock and landed at Washington at 10 oclock that night and stayed there till Monday at 2 oclock and then left and got on the steam boat and traveled about 200 miles to Norfolk and then it is 21 miles this place. I am now about 400 miles from home.
Now at this time I cant tell how long we will stay here. There is now at this place about four thousand regiments at this place now and there is about 12 thousand more men to come in yet here at this place.
They had a little scrimage about 20 miles from this place on last Friday week. We whipped them back and there was several killed on both sides. I hope to get home toward Spring to see you all. If I had a nowed it that they would a fetched me away here they would a had a good time a getting me here. I think I would a come home to see you and the children before they agot me here. I want you to get along as well as you can. I know that you think it a good while to see me but I think it longer to see you Martha and (children) Alice and Clarrissa than you do to see me.
Norfolk
January 1, 1863 ... I am now in the city of Norfolk Vargnia in the Methodist Church. Put up there is twenty two of the 158 regiment here now. Our regiment left camp Suffolk on last Sunday morning and we had to go along with our baggage to take care of that.
We have very good times here now at the presant time. I expect we will go to North Carolina to stay there till spring.
This place was taken from the rebels some time ago. There is some rebels here yet but not many and what is they have to keep very quiet.
We had got on the ship yesterday to go to join our regiment in Newborn North Carolina but it was crowed to much and we had to get of again and come on shore till we got transportation to our regiment. I expect we will leave here in a day or two. There is three of us here that belongs to our company.
I havent very much to write now at this time but I hope that this war will soon be over. They are about compromisen the north and the south, the rebels that is in this town, they was locked up in jail now and they will be kept there.
Newborn North Carolina,
January 7, 1863 ... Since I received your letter I have travelled about two hundred and fifty miles. I landed at my regiment last evening about dark. They was very glad to see me again.
I want you to tell Jacob Stevens that I never sold that sole leather to him and I dont thank him for using it up either for them boards that he got of me. Me paid him for making the boots and then there was 25 cents on the work that I done for him. He promised to keep that sole leather for my own use.
I want him to pay you for 6 lb of sole leather or else I will know the reason why. He will have it to pay for. I dident promise Truax more than 5 bushels of wheat either.
The country around here is very poor. The land is nothing but sand.
I think I will keep that wagon. If he would a took me up when I wanted him to take it he might a had it at that time but now he cant get it.
Dont take no pay from Jacob Stevens unless he pays you 2 dollars.
----------------------------------------------------
Second of Series - In the first series of letters written by Amos Hockensmith while he served in the 158th Regiment of Infantry Company H Pennsylvania volunteers, he wrote about being far from home. He also wrote about drafted men running off and being caught by the guards; the rebels still in Norfold Varginia; and a man who was trying to get away with his sole leather, while he was far away serving time in the service of his country.
Journal of Vessels
This letter, written January 16, 1863, was written on Journal of Vessels paper at Newborn N.C. Running short of money, Amos was using any paper that came to hand. The paper which was used for two of his letters, had a place for the date, and any vessels that needed to be listed such as ships, barks, brigs, schooners, sloops and steamers.
The letter started as did most of his letters ... "Dearly beloved wife it is with pleasure that I now seat myself down to write you a few lines to let you know that i am well at this present time and hope that these few lines will find you all well and enjoying good health ...
.... You write to me to write to you to let you know how I liked to be in camp. I jest like it middling well. We are used very well so far. We get plenty to eat. We get crackers and bread, potatoes and rice and beans and molasses and coffee and pork beef and cod fish and sugar and wee get some tea in the bargain.
About you hearing that wee had likeng all to be drowned. It is all false for there was no danger of being drowned.
Typhoid Fever
This is the 16th of January 1863. There is three months of our time up now to day. There is some talk about us getting our pay in a few days. I only hope it will be such good news for I new for I need some money at the presant time. My postage stamps is purty near done.
Newborn North Carolina i think it is very unhealthy part of the country to be in. There is a great many sick now at this time but none so bad. The land is very poor here. It is nothng but sand. The water is very poor to. If we would have good water there would not be as many sick.
February 16th 1863 ... My weight wen I left home was 145 and I now weigh 165 pounds. I am well and hearty at this time. I took sick on the 26th of December and i was in the hospital tent until the 6th of this month. The doctor said I had a small attack of the typhod fever and also had the bronchitis to, but now at this time I am enjoying as good health as ever.
The weather is very warm. It is as warm here now as it is there in June some night. It is that warm that we have to sleep with any covers on us atall.
Our connel he is gone to Washington for a few days but we dont know what he is gone there for, He said that wee was the best drilled regiment in the brigade. He told us to mind our officers well and he thout that he would be able to bring us some good news when he got back.
It is the opion of the men of this regiment that he is gone to Philadelphia to se if he cant get us there as provost guards to guard the city. The connel dont like to stay here. He issick and tired of this place but for my part I would sooner stay here than to go there.
They was looking for a big battle to be fought about the middle of last month. They did thro some few shells in one of the New York regiments one night and wounded some five or six of them and then they left and they hant ventured back since.
There is about sixty thousand soldiers encamped close around this place now. There was about twenty thousand that went out on an expedition in under general Foster. They attacked the rebels at Polyocksville and drove them back.
Havent Been Payed
February 25th 1863 ... I was waiting for an answer to my last letter. I received the letter that you wrote on the second of this month but the one you wrote on the eight of the month I have never got yet but I think that I will get it yet. The money would come very good to me just now. I havent as much money any more as will pay the postage on a letter any more.
The sun shines very hot here today. I am a swetting now while I am writing. I refceived a letter today from my brother Samuel. They was all well.
The frogs hollers so much here that I cant hardly write for them. The people here have got their oats sowed aready. The apple trees is out in blossom now at this time.
The regiment is all well but a few of them. There has been only about eight deaths since we have been here. I wish our time was out so I could get to come home to you again.
I long to see you again. There is hardly an hour passes away in a day but what I think about you and the children.
I hope and pray god that they will come to a compromise before spring. The talk here now is that they are trying to compromise the war now in Washington. There is a flying report has been agoing throu camp for some time that wee will get out in May.
I only hope that it may be so for I would like to be at home before harvest to take care of my grain myself and to be with you again when you move. I want you to take that lock of the door that belongs to us and dont leave my thing there that belongs to us if you can help it.
We have got none of our pay yet but I think that we will soon get our pay before very long. If I was out of this place and my time out there is no mans thousand dollars would take me back to the army again. I mean as a substitute. It would take that and more to entice me to go back to the army and leave you.
Cannons Firing
March 15 1863 ... Yesterday the cannons was a firing all around us. The rebels they are agoing to try to take this place from the union troops.
The rebels yesterday took about four hundred of our men prisoners. They cut them of from the main body of their army and they are agoing to try to take this place again. But when they get in here they will have to fight hader as they have ever done in any battle yet if they take this place. This place is too well fortified for them ever to take.
In our five days march this last week, in the five days we marched about one hundred miles. We all stood the march very well. I got along very well only I got very stiff when I sot down. I would have to try two or three times to get up. My feet they got very sore.
We have not got any of our pay yet but I think that we will soon get our pay. There is sixty eight dollars due us now at this time. I think the time very long to se you and the children and the rest of the friends.
I will have to quit writing at this time for I have to start on another march with in fifteen minutes and so these few lines must lay here in camp till I get back again if I am spared to get back.
-----------------------------------------------------
In the first two parts of this series of Civil War letters, Amos Hockensmith wrote about drafted men running away from the war. Becoming more and more homesick for his family and farm he also told of battles, sickness, and the fact that his pay was long over due. In fact he was so broke he didn't have enough to pay a postage stamp.
Amos was serving with the 158th Regiment of Infantry Company H Pennsylvania Volunteers. His last letter told of them leaving on a march, trying to locate some Rebels.
This letter, written at Newborn, N.C., on March 17 after his return started out quite simply ...
Dearly beloved wife, It is with pleasure that I have got back safe to camp again after our march to rite you a few more lines to let you know that I am well after our march. We marched about forty miles in a day and a half.
We went to Hollyocksville to fight the rebels. But they heard of our coming and they left. Skedaddled for their lives and then we turned and came back to our camp.
They tried their very best to get into this place for three days but they cant do it. There is to many gun boats a round here. There was one shell throwed from one of gun boats that killed sixteen rebels with the one shot. They could not stand that and they lef that place. There was not very many killed on either side. I am getting tired of this war. I only wish it would stop or they would mak peace. There is no talk of peace here atall for I would like to be at home with you Martha my dear wife ...
Chases Rebels
March 20th 1863 ... I wish that I could be at home with you and stay with you again. I know that the time seems long to you since I left home but I pray god that he will spare my life that I may get home again safe to my family.
I would like to se you and the children verly well. I know that the children thinks that I stay away from home a great while.
I want them to be good girls till I come home if I am spared to get there. But if it should not be my luck to get home again I want them to mind their mother and do what she tells them to do. But I still think that I will get home to see you all again.
We have been out on two expeditions to see if we could find any rebels but we didn't find very many. We took eight prisoners in our march and wee fetched them to headquarters. I have not heard what they have done with them.
The first time that we was out we war gone five days and we marched one hundred miles and the second march we was out we was gone one day and a half and we marched about forty miles and we did not see one rebel.
We come to a place where they had throwed up rifle pits but they had left there before we came up. They say that the melitia will fight. Do hardest fighting of any men that the north has in the field because they are the best men.
Our cornel met with an accident on our last march. His horse throwed him and broke his leg, the one bone. He said he would sooner lose his leg as to lose his regiment but still he stayed with us half a day after he got his leg broke.
He did not like to trust the leutenant cornel with the men if we got in a fight. He wanted the command of the men himself if there was any fighting going on. He went with us to Pollycksville and the rebels had left that place and the cornel he got on one of the gun boats there and come back to Newborn and he is there yet at the hospital ...
No Coward
March 23rd 1863 ... I knew that you and the children thinks the time long to see me but if I am spared to get home to you again the ----- there cant call me a coward for not serving my country.
I wouldent be in them fellers places that deserted their companys and run off not for a thousand dollars. For they will be called cowards and everything else for not fighting for their country. I am agoing to stay my time out and then I can come home like a man and think that I have done my duty.
I would like to have been at home to ahelpt you a moved if I could agott their. I know that you had a heap of work to do at that time.
You wanted to know how I got my washing done. I wash my clothes myself. So far wen ever I put on clean clothes I go up along the Noose (Neuse) river and strip my dirty clothes of and then put on my clean clothes and then I wash my clothes before I ever go back to camp.
I never keep any dirty clothes in my tent. I have two clean shirts now beside the one I have on. I washed my pants last week and patched them myself. There is some in this regiment that is two lasy to wash their own clothes and they go very dirty.
There is strong talk here that the drafted men will get home in May the same time that the nine month voluntrees. That governor Curtin is doing his best to get us clear at that time.
Red Tape and Measles
Aprile 1863 ... One of my legs below the knee has been sore for about six days back and it dont seem to get much better. I cant walk only with a cane.
The boys started on another expedition last night. They will begone three days and then they are coming back to camp again. It is very lonesome here when they are all gone.
The men when they was out on the last expedition, the artillery men got three killed and seven wounded and killed two horses. They silenced the rebels cannon. There was a river to cros and our men could not get over and they retreated back to camp. They heard afterwards that they killed about three hundred rebels in the fort.
Able Brown he was out here to camp today from the hospital in town. He is getting some better. He is trying to get his discharge. He come out to day to get the captain to sine some papers for him but the captain wasnt here and he could not get any thing done.
The rest of his papers he has got them all fixed up. All he wants now is the captains name to some of his papers.
William McDonald he has got his discharge long ago and if he met with no accident on his way home he is there long ago. John Correll he is in the hospital in town. He took the fever and ague.
George Dishong he is in the hospital in town to. He had the measles and they took them in to town. There has been several taking into town with the measles out of this regiment. I am a little shy of them for I dont want to get them while I am in the army for as soon as they know that there is one ataking them they will send him right of to town to stay there till they get well of them.
I think that I will have to bring my letter to a close for this time. I send each one of my girls a little book in this letter with there names marked on them so nothing more at presant time write soon I remain your unworthy husband until death. So farewell for this time. Amos Hockensmith.
(According to descendants of Amos Hockensmith, this might indeed be the last letter he ever wrote, for Amos approximately 30 yrs. old, never came back from the war. His wife Martha lived out her lonely existance to the age of 84.)

Obituary found by Joyce Hollinshead Shadle--Friday, Locust Grove, Jan 3, 1895. The copy is not very good, so I wasn't able to decipher the names of the 3 towns below,
Mrs. Asa Mellott of whose illness we noted in our last, died at her late home in Whips Cove on last Friday, aged 56 years, 1 month and 1 day. She leaves a husband and one son to mourn her loss. The funeral took place on Sunday, and the services were conducted by Rev. May. She was for many years a member of the Christian church and was greatly respected by all her neighbors and friends. She died of Consumption. A large concourse of friends from Belfast, Bethel, Union, and the Cove followed her remains to their final resting place. The husband and son have the hearty sympathy of their many friends in this their dark hour.
This makes four deaths in the Cove within the last two months and a half, all of whom were adults.
Medical: Died of Consumption [TB]

1850 Census records of Fulton Co, Belfast Twp. shows Phycha, age 10 in the household of James Hollenshead
Census records of 1860 show Phycha, age 21 in the household of James Hollenshead
On the quit claim document when her father's property was sold to John Hollenshead, her name was spelled three different ways. She was apparently unable to write and made "her mark" on the paper. By this time she was married and her last name was Mellott.
The ways it was spelled was PHYCHA MELLOTT, SISCHEA MELLOTT, and SICHE MELLOTT. This document was signed May 23rd 1885.
There are two tombstones at the Locust Grove Church in Whips Cove, Brush Creek Twp., that have her name on them. They are side by side and the one to the right appears to be older than the first. It has inscribed SCHYCHA WIFE OF ASA MELLOTT DIED DEC. 27, 1895. The larger stone has all the names on it and is inscribed ASA MELLOTT B. DEC. 3, 1847, D. NOV 1913
SATCHIA MELLOTT B. NOV 10, 1839, D. DEC 27, 1895
SAMUEL J. MELLOTT B. AUG 15 1877 D. DEC 26, 1904
CHRISTINA MELLOTT B. APR 11 1844 D. MAY 22, 192l.
My opinion is that no one knew exactly how to spell her name, but the newest tombstone could possibly be right as they would probably have spelled the name the same as the original stone. It appears to be all the same person.
She married Asa MELLOTT, Before 1878. Born Circa 13 Dec 1848 in PA. Died Nov 1913 in PA. Buried in Locust Grove Cem., Whips Cove, Fulton Co., PA.

Interment was made at the Sideling Hill Baptist cemetery beside her husband, on Monday afternoon.
Farewell, dear friend and sister in Church.
May we meet again when we have both crossed the last great divide.

In a letter to Audrey Dykstra, from Ralph Dodds, dated 28 Dec 1975, Ralph wrote, "I wish I could tell you more of our family history. I do know that G. Dodds came from central Penn., and he said they were Penn Dutch, and could not talk well with real German language. I used [to] sit by the hour and hear my G. Dodds tell stories of Indians. There was a large tribe between Saranac and Lowell, so they were almost one of them. There were lots of hard maple trees along the river, and the Indians made a lot of maple syrup. They traded the syrup for many things. They always wanted a "Buck" chicken--a rooster, one day they were down where they boiling sap, and when sap is boiled till it gets sweet it will foam up and run over, if you drop a small piece of salt pork in it will go back down. An old squaw stood there with a piece of pork in her hand when it began to foam, and she bit off some and spit in it. They didn't enjoy the syrup so much after that.
"In the early days all the bread they had was corn bread. G. Dad got some wheat to sow, and when ripe he took it to Battle Creek, the only mill that could make white flour. He was gone nearly a week with the oxen, and when he came back G. Mother made some bread. When the Indian saw this he wanted some, so G. Mother gave him a loaf. You know bread will sometimes have quite [a few] holes in it, and the indian cut the loaf where [there] was a hole, and he came back real mad, pointing to the hole and said, 'White man cheat Indian.' G. Mother had a hard time to explain."
"I can remember of Uncle Jess Hollinshead telling about he and G. Dad walking from central Ohio to Saranac and taking up land north of Saranac. One farm was later known as the Ayers farm, and the other is now a part of the Hardy farm. They walked back to Ohio and brought their families on long sleds with oxen back to Michigan. G. Dad stayed but uncle went back to Ohio. G. Dad sold out and went south west of Lake Odessa, bought what is now known as the Branch farm. It was so wet that he sold and bought the sandy farm where he lived and died at age 79. G. Mother at age 87."

Oronko, Feb. 4th, 1867
Dear Brother:
I seat myself this afternoon in order to write you a few lines to let you know how CS[?] Edwards folks got home. They arrived at home last evening safe, but almost frozen. The baby is not very well today, he seems a tired out and I am in hopes he will be better when he gets rested.
Well Hugh, I received good news from ther when Edward came home. I mean as to Jim's death, if it be true or if it is not, it is all the same to me for I claim that I am free now.
Edward was saying that you was going over to your old place and would find out all about the matter. And if you can find it convenient, I should like to have you find out as soon as possible and let me know, if you please, the sooner the better for me. And if he has any property, see what can be done about me get[t]ing it. And let me know as soon as you can, for I should like to know the particulars before any thing takes place, which I expect will before long, and it is not a Jim this time, it is an Andrew.
Hugh, please excuse me for asking for help from you. I will give you all that belongs to me in welcome, for I shall be bedter off soon I hope, don't you?
I will send you some of the poetry that Philip sent home, this is the first that he composed, he has sent six pieces. I will close and bid you all good by, hoping thear [to hear] from you soon.

{NOTE: This was written to Hugh Dodds by one of his sisters. The sisters we know of were Katherine Dodds Field Vorhees, Millie Dodds Duffy, Harriet Dodds Knee, & Nancy Dodds Clark. It is possible he had more sisters than we know of. The Philip she refers to was probably their youngest brother, Philip Dodds. I do not know of a brother, Edward, so she was probably referring to a gentleman she had been involved with. Nor do I know who Jim or Andrew were} My atlas shows Oronko to be in Berrien County, MI, close to Benton Harbor. We have a newspaper clipping from the early 1900s which mentioned that relatives of Frank Myers, a Rev. & Mrs. English, from Berrien County, were visiting. Further research needs to be done into this.}

"Randall McDonald, the only son, served in the war prior to his marriage to Polly Hubbell which took place in 1815. They settled on the river Thames, where he built a two-story hewed-log house, forming it in Colonial style, with dove-tailed corners. He took much pleasure in the work, and when it was finished it was esteemed the finest log house built for private use in the County of Kent. Mr. McDonald purchased his land from the English government, and during his lifetime cleared, with the assistance of his sons, almost 200 acres. His death occurred in 1866 and his wife died in 1831, when their eldest son, Alexander, was fifteen years of age. Nine of their ten children grew to maturity, and as noted Alexander was the eldest, the others being Sallie, born in 1817, the widow of Allen Lipscomb, resides in Oakland County, Michigan, with her family of five children, Randall, Miles, Anselm, Allen and Polly.

"In the "Canada" settlement is the Third United Brethren or "Tamarack" church, which was built in 1878, and in which now worships the United Brethren class formed by Elder A. Miller in 1860, in the "Canada" school-house. The organizing members were H. B. Lipscomb, leader; David Smith, steward; Annie Lipscomb, Balsar King, Jacob G. King, exhorter; Hugh Dodd, Miles Lipscomb, Angeline Lipscomb, Margaret Dodds, Polly A. Haskins, Anna Curtis, Ferington Todd, Mary J. McInarie, Nancy McInarie, William Sears and Fanny Sears. Since 1860 there has been preaching once in two weeks. Rev. William N. Briedenstein is the preacher in charge, Randy Lipscomb is the class leader, Jacob Bear, Calvin Demaray, and Ezra Pierce the trustees, Norton Rainsford the class steward, and Dennis Haskill the Sunday-school superintendent. The church is exceedingly prosperous and has a membership of 80.
[The following taken from Pg 232 of "History of Ionia County, Michigan]
"...of the Canadian Settlement, there was the neighborhood in which the Monks, Robert Taylor, James Chrysler, John Follett, and Cyrus Rose lived, to which the name of Dickertown was given by reason of the fact that the settlers there out-Yankeed the eriest Yankee that ever lived in their extraordinary passion for trading, or "dickering," as it was then called. They dickered with one another at dewy morn, at gentle eve, and at high noon. Although the proof is not at hand, yet it is gravely asserted, so strong was the passion for dickering upon the innocent and peaceful Canadians, that cases were known where members of the little community were frequently aroused from midnight slumbers to open, discuss, or close a trade. They were, forsooth, a noble band of traders, trading in anything that by any manner of means could be made to serve the purpose of a trade. That some of them must have grown pretty sharp and quick in due time as to matters appertaining to their favorite pas!
time follows of course, and it follows equally as a matter of course that there must have been a vast deal of rivalry and getting up early o' mornings in that vicinity in the general wild and yearning desire to get the better of somebody in a trade. Dickertown is now simply a remembrance, and those who remember it are able to tell some amusing stories of the locality and the weakness of the inhabitants thereof."

184 ix. Evalina DODDS
83. Catherine DODDS. Born Circa 1834 in OH.
She is mentioned in Hugh Dodds' 1909 obituary as living in Riverside, MI [Riverside could be one of two different locations in Michigan: near Lake Michigan, in Berrien County, about four miles north of Benton Harbor; or on Lake St. Clair, on Marsens Island, at the dividing place between Michigan and Ontario. The Berrien County location is the more believable. Also, to further substantiate that, a newspaper clipping told that a cousin of Ella Dodds, Mrs. English, from Berrien County, came to visit her. Most likely that cousin was a daughter of Catherine Dodds.
There is an Ionia County marriage record in book B, pg 1, for Edward Field, age 31, Town of Keen, Ionia County, Michigan to Catharine Dodds, 20, Keen, Ionia County, Michigan, married in Ionia, 11 May 1854 in presence of Phillip Monk & Mary Jane Monk of Keen, George Bignell, Minister of Gospel. Don't know positively that this is our Catharine Dodds but believe it very likely. Her age is correct. Audrey said her husband's name was Nathan
She was probably named after her grandmother, Catherine Hollinshead
Audrey Dykstra's notes say she had two sons, Jim & John. Don't know which husband they were from.
Research: 1850 census, Keene Twp., Ionia Co, MI (547/559) shows a James Dodge, 40, cooper, b. OH, living with three daughters, Catherine, 16, b. OH; Nancy A., 7, b. OH; and Keziah, 5, b. OH. Believe this is our James Dodds
She first married Edward\Nathan FIELD, 11 May 1854 in Ionia, Ionia Co, MI. Born Circa 1823.
She second married ? VORHEES.
84. Nathan DODDS. Born Circa 1839 in OH.
Research: 1850 federal census, Ionia Twp., Ionia Co, MI, pg 173 (168/172)--Davis, Armstrong, 26, m, farmer, 1000, NY; Mary E., 21, f, CT; NATHAN DOTS, 11, m, OH; Anna Armstrong, 48, f, NH
Believe this is Nathan Dodds, son of James & Elizabeth - especially so since the very next household (169/173), John & Sarah Chase, had Philip Dodds
"Michigan Soldiers & Sailors," Vol 25, pg 24--Dodds, Nathan, Berrien, enlisted in Co.K, 25th Inf. as Corp., Aug. 8, 1862 at Berrien, for 3 years, age 23. Mustered Sept. 22, 1862. Mustered out at Salisbury, NC, June 24, 1865
[Berrien, Michigan, is where a Mr. & Mrs. English were from, who, according to the following newspaper article, were relatives of the Dodds/Myers family.]
[The Lake Odessa Wave, Thursday, August 29, 1901, 'Around Tamarack']--Phil Dodds, of Odessa, accompanied by his cousins, Rev. and Mrs. English, of Berrien Co., visited at the home of Frank Myers Sunday.
There was no Nathan Dodds listed in the 1890 Michigan Veterans Census
85. Phillip DODDS. Born 14 Jun 1842 in Sandusky, OH. Died 1 Feb 1882 in Ionia Co, MI. Buried in River Ridge Cem., Belding, Ionia Co, MI. Occupation Laborer.

NOTE: We do not know the Chases to be connected to the Dodds family. It is my belief that James was not able to care for his children following the May 1850 death of his wife, and the children were "shipped out" to various people.
VOL 1, PG 188 --The Kent County, Michigan Marriage Records show Phillip Dodds, 25, living at Otisco, born Sandusky, Ohio, farmer, married to Eleanor Green,18, of same place, born Otisco, on 13 Nov. 1867, at Lowell (6/4).
The 1860 federal census, Oceana County, Pentwater, pg 17, (195/187) shows Philip Dodds, 19, male, laborer, born OH. Everyone in this vicinity appears to be involved in the shipping business. He was enumerated with Edmond Desmond, 25, male, engineer, born Canada, also ? J. Olin, 30, laborer, John H. Farrell, 26, b. PA; Peter Benson, 17, laborer, b. NY [Perhaps Philip's age was exaggerated for the purpose of work?]

Need to check for a marriage between Seymour Clark and Eleanor Dodds ca 1876-1882. Ella died 3-4-1909, so need to check for her death record

Oronko, Feb. 4th, 1867
Dear Brother:
I seat myself this afternoon in order to write you a few lines to let you know how CS[?] Edwards folks got home. They arrived at home last evening safe, but almost frozen. The baby is not very well today, he seems a tired out and I am in hopes he will be better when he gets rested.
Well Hugh, I received good news from ther when Edward came home. I mean as to Jim's death, if it be true or if it is not, it is all the same to me for I claim that I am free now.
Edward was saying that you was going over to your old place and would find out all about the matter. And if you can find it convenient, I should like to have you find out as soon as possible and let me know, if you please, the sooner the better for me. And if he has any property, see what can be done about me get[t]ing it. And let me know as soon as you can, for I should like to know the particulars before any thing takes place, which I expect will before long, and it is not a Jim this time, it is an Andrew.
Hugh, please excuse me for asking for help from you. I will give you all that belongs to me in welcome, for I shall be bedter off soon I hope, don't you?
I will send you some of the poetry that Philip sent home, this is the first that he composed, he has sent six pieces. I will close and bid you all good by, hoping thear [to hear] from you soon.

{NOTE: This was written to Hugh Dodds by one of his sisters. The sisters we know of were Katherine Dodds Field Vorhees, Millie Dodds Duffy, Harriet Dodds Knee, & Nancy Dodds Clark. It is possible he had more sisters than we know of. The Philip she refers to was probably their youngest brother, Philip Dodds. I do not know of a brother, Edward, so she was probably referring to a gentleman she had been involved with. Nor do I know who Jim or Andrew were} My atlas shows Oronko to be in Berrien County, MI, close to Benton Harbor. We have a newspaper clipping from the early 1900s which mentioned that relatives of Frank Myers, a Rev. & Mrs. English, from Berrien County, were visiting. Further research needs to be done into this.}

Also, there was a Rev. & Mrs. English who lived in Berrien County, who were connected somehow to the Dodds family
She married ? CLARK.
87. Millie DODDS. Born Dec 1845 in OH.
She is mentioned in Hugh Dodds' 1909 obituary as living in Lowell, MI
Audrey Dykstra's notes say she married two Duffy's. Second was "Uncle Pony," Jerome. If, as the 1900 census says, Jerome & Millie were married about 1876, then Jerome can't be the father of Zoe & Katie, it would have been Millie's first husband, whose name is unknown at this time.

88. Keziah DODDS. Born Circa 1845 in OH.
Research: 1850 census, Keene Twp., Ionia Co, MI (547/559) shows a James Dodge, 40, cooper, b. OH, living with three daughters, Catherine, 16, b. OH; Nancy A., 7, b. OH; and Keziah, 5, b. OH. Believe this is our James Dodds. I have seen nothing before this of a daughter named Keziah, but that is the name of one of Elizabeth's Hollinshead sister-in-laws, making it likely that she was their daughter
89. Harriet 'Hattie' DODDS. Born Jan 1850 in MI.
She lived in Keene Twp., Ionia Co, MI
Since her mother died shortly after her birth, It's possible that she was raised by a family named Waters, like Margaret McDonald Dodds, who went by the name of Margaret Monk sometimes, was raised by the Philip Monk family. I couldn't find any Waters family listed in the 1850 or 1860 census for Ionia County who had a Hattie living with them

Audrey Dykstra said Al Knee was a Civil War veteran. He had a daughter who physically looked like Audrey's grandma, Hattie Dodds Walker. Allison & Hattie Knee rented the Max Raymer house and the upstairs of Ed & Hattie Walker's house about 1937/38.

[Fulton County Democrat, June, 1921]
One day last week, a man named Joseph Hollinshead shot and seriously wounded his boarding housekeeper in Winchester, Va. Thinking that she was dead, he turned the weapon and killed himself. We were unable to fully connect the man with former residents of the county, other than the fact that he was born in this county, lived at several places in Franklin county, leaves several children, was 62 years of age, and his wife is living in Greencastle, Pa.
Newspaper accounts state that he was subject to periods of mental depression. The young woman whom he tried to kill is Mrs. Mattie Mason, of Kernstown, Va. She will recover.

Mrs. Rosie M. Hollinshead, 83 year old resident of McConnellsburg, died at the home of her son Norman on Needmore, R.D. Pa., on May 23, 1962 following only a couple weeks illness. She had been a patient at the Medical Center and had seemed much improved and her death came rather unexpectedly.
The deceased, known in the community to most everyone as "aunt Rosie", was born on July 28, 1877, a daughter to the late Joseph and Luemma Mellott of Licking Creek township this county. Her husband James Hollinshead preceded her in death a number of years ago. Aunt Rosie was a very grand person in all descriptions. She was one of the kindest and most generous, and always willing to do for others and forgetting her own needed attentions and care of health. She got about as a person of much younger years and never complained. We know that her reward must be with her Saviour.
Mourning her loss are the following, three sons, Foster and Norman Hollinshead of Needmore, John of Mercersburg. Two brothers and one sister, James A. Mellott of Harrisonville, Norman Mellott of McConnellsburg R.D., and Mrs. Ada Greenawalt of McConnellsburg.

Information from Gerald C. Dodds of 105 S. Bower Street, Greenville, MI 48838, 1 November 1980 [follows]
ANSLEM DODDS
Grandpa Dodds was a share-crop or tenant farmer--note the scattered birthplaces of his children. Some time after his wife's death he and his son Alvah (my father) went to Canada and homesteaded land in Saskatchewan. I don't understand Americans homesteading in Canada, but they did. I don't know how long this venture lasted, but I have a picture from that era dated 1915. My parents were married in December of 1914 and my mother was in Canada for a while, too. Aunt Rose (Rosina Bignell) was there for a while also. Her pictures (passed to me through her sister, Mary Pellett) are the source of my information.
When we lived in Farmington, Grandpa lived with us part of the time. He, like Grandpa Dicken, had a model T Ford touring car, but I don't remember that he had named it. Having lived in an age of horses, he (like many of his contemporaries) was used to commanding his vehicle by voice and reins. Stopping a team of horses was a matter of pulling back on the reins and yelling 'Whoa!'. There are many stories of drivers having automobile accidents, because hauling back on the steering wheel and hollering 'Whoa!' didn't work. It didn't work for Grandpa when he plowed throught he side of our garage in Farmington. When my dad asked him why he went through the side of the garage, Grandpa said it was to avoid hitting my dad's new car, which was straight ahead of him. It was a two-car garage, but narrow, so that one car was parked behind the other. After Grandpa's death my dad had that model T. We used it to "buzz" firewood when we lived in Saranac. We jacked up one rear wheel !
and ran a belt from the wheel to the pulley of the saw.

OBITUARY
Philip M. Dodds, was born in the township of Boston on December 2nd, 1855 and departed from this life on Tuesday evening, August 17th at the farm home north of Saranac. He lived the greater part of his early life in this vicinity and was married to Mary E. Walker in 1876. To this union was born two children, edith B. and Ralph H., who with the widow survive.
Shortly after his marriage he settled in Odessa Township, where he was known as an industrious, upright citizen. Five years ago he left the Odessa farm to the care of his son and moved to Saranac, the home of his daughter. Three years ago he purchased the Harvey A. Brown farm in Keene Twp., where he resided at the time of his death.
Over 40 years ago he became converted and joined the United Brethren church and later the Wesleyan Methodist. He left this world with the firm belief that all who follow His teachings will find the life everlasting.
Besides the widow and children, he leaves an old mother nearly 87 years of age, four brothers, two sisters, five grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn his untimely demise. No better son, father or brother ever trod the pathway of mankind and the world and our country would be far better off if its people lived a citizenship on the plane of Philip M. Dodds. For truly, he lived in the house by the side of the road and was a friend to man.
Funeral services were held in the Methodis church in this village last Friday afternoon, conducted by Rev. C. E. Reynolds of Odessa, and assisted by Rev. Hayward, and the esteem in which Mr. Dodds was held was manifested by one of the largest funerals ever held in this village, the old friends and neighbors of Odessa being here by the score. Amid a mass of flowers he was layed to rest in the Saranac cemetery.

(Obituary from June 7, 1922 Saranac Advertiser)
Charles Baird was born in Keene Township, Ionia County, Michigan, September 16, 1846, and died Thursday, June 1, 1922, age 75 years, 8 months, 17 days. He was the only son of James and Janette Baird who were pioneer residents of Keene.
His father died when he was a small boy. When quite young his mother bought the farm on the north side of the Grand River about two miles west of Saranac. Here he helped in clearing the farm and building the home where he has spent the rest of his life. On March 3, 1876, he was married to Sarah Dodds, eldest daughter of Hugh and Margaret Dodds. To this union seven children were born, five daughters and two sons. One little girl died many years ago and Mrs. Maude Williams died April, 1913.
Eighteen years ago on May 24, 1904, death claimed the wife who had been so dear to him and since that time his children have kept the home for him. For many years it has been the privilege of the youngest son, Elvert, and his wife to care for their father in his declining years.
Charles Baird was a good neighbor and a good citizen. He lived quietly and died as he had so often wished he might - quietly, without any apparent suffering.
There are left to mourn their loss, three daughters, Mrs. Mary Haskins of Boston Township, Mrs. Blanche Thornton of Grand Rapids, and Mrs. Ella Carey of McBain, Michigan; two sons, James and Elvert Baird of Boston Township, fifteen grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, two nieces and a large circle of relatives and friends.
Rev. C. O. Hayward officiated at the funeral service which was largely attended. Burial Saranac.
DEATH CAME QUICK (front page story, Lowell newspaper)
The body of Charles P. Baird, aged 75 years, who lived four miles east of Lowell on the north side of Grand River, was found dead on the bank of the river Thursday night. He had been fishing that afternoon and when he did not return, search was made beginning about 10 o'clock p.m. and the body was found where he had fallen and died suddenly, and evidently without a struggle, as the tall grass in which he rested was undisturbed. Dr. Braley of Saranac stated that death resulted from heart failure. Services were held Sunday at l.30 p.m. at the home, Rev. Haywood officiating. Burial was at Saranac.
Mr. Baird, son of James and Janette Baird, was born in Keene, September 16, 1847, married Sarah Dodds about 48 years ago. Mrs. Baird died 18 years ago. Five children are living, Mrs. Mary Haskins of Boston, Mrs. Blanche Thornton of Grand Rapids, Mrs. Ellen Carey of McBain, James Baird of Boston and Elbert Baird who lived at home. Another daughter, Mrs. Maude Williams, died 9 years ago.

Visit on 9 March 1989 to Hugh J. Dodds of Saranac, MI--Hugh said his Uncle Frank Myers worked at the water department in Lake Odessa. He was a hard working man, rarely went anywhere, as he had to be there to keep the water running.
Frank & Ella had the first bathtub that Hugh ever saw. It was canvas, had crisscross wooden legs, with big canvas walls. There was a hole with a pipe in it so water could run out. They heated the water on the range.
Frank & Ella lived on the east side of the street, by the fairgrounds, 4-5 houses south of the fairgrounds in Lake Odessa, MI
Medical: Cause of death was listed as 'General Paralysis, Mental Insanity', which was actually nothing more than Alzheimer's.

E. C. DODDS LAID TO REST TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 29
Edson Calvin Dodds was born January 25th, 1862 in Boston township, Ionia County on what is now known as the James Baird farm, and died Saturday, February 26, 1944, age 82 years, 1 month and 1 day. He was the son of Hugh and Margaret Dodds. When three years of age they moved to Woodland township, living there about five years, then moved back to Boston township, two miles west of Saranac, where Edson grew to manhood.
While still in his early twenties Edson felt the urge to see other parts of the country, going as far west as South Dakota where he settled near Hecla, and was successful in the business of raising fine stock and farming.
He married Almyra Dysard of Hecla, South Dakota on November 25, 1890, and together they braved many hardships, the country being new and without the advantages of today. Edson never became discouraged when failure came, but continued on, not wishing to return to his old home until he had accomplished the task of making good. After a few years in the west he took his little family and returned to Michigan, buying a farm west of Saranac near his father and mother and many other relatives. About thirty-two years ago he moved to Saranac where he resided until his death, having been in failing health for several years and bed ridden for one year and two months.
He was a kind and loving husband and father and will be so sadly missed in his home, while his loving smile and sweet personality can never be forgotten. He so dearly loved his family, always thinking of their welfare and granting every wish possible.
Ed, as he was familiarly known by his many friends, was a good neighbor, never refusing a helping hand to one in need, and never forgetting his Christian faith he had adopted early in life. His way of living was to do unto others as he would wish to be done by, which made him many friends among children as well as adults, and was ever ready to forgive those who wronged him.

EVA DODDS HIGGINS
Aunt Eva, Alvah's other sister, was a good christian woman, strong member of the Methodist church, but a merciless nag. Whenever my dad lit a cigarette in her presence she would say, "there goes another nail in your coffin." At these moments she made life miserable for Alvah, little realizing that his final coffin nail was to be driven by horses' hooves. Aunt Eva's husband, Walter, retired from the farm at an early age, believing they had enough money to carry them through life. A bank failure caused by a crooked bank president left them penniless, but with a home in Saranac. Uncle Walter never worked after that, except to serve a a janitor at the Saranac Methodist church. Aunt Eva was a tireless worker. She hung wallpaper and did other odd jobs for people in Saranac.
After my mother's death, I went to Arizona on the train with Aunt Eva and Uncle Walter. I had made the trip before with adult friends from Tucson, so I had to show them how to transfer from one train station to another in Chicago. After shcool was out the next summer we returned to Michigan together and I stayed with them until I moved to Grandma Bignell's at the start of school. I was glad to make the change, because life was more pleasant there. Aunt Eva was not mean or cruel--but not a very comfortable person to live with. Aunt Eva and Uncle Walter had two children who died in infancy.

HERBERT S. DODDS
Uncle Herbie was a cussin' uncle. His speech was colorful, to say the least. Every other word of his would be deleted if he were interviewed on TV news today. He had a terrible temper, although much of his anger was contrived for the purpose of attracting attention. It worked too. Everybody liked Uncle Herbie and enjoyed picking on him. This may sound cruel, but in truth he enjoyed the attention and laughter. He had been divorced early in life and his three children had been put in an orphan home in Owosso. Most of the rest of his life he lived with Aunt Julia and Uncle Bert, but more than paid his way by working Uncle Bert's farm while Uncle Bert ran his trucking business. I first got to know his children while I was in high school. Beryl was older than me, Lawrence was about my age and we were close friends during those years. I never got to know Fern very well. At the time of Goldie's death, Fern and Lawrence lived in Owosso, Beryl in Bath.

JULIA DODDS GOFF
Aunt Julia was Alvah's sister. She was married to Adelbert Goff, a farmer and fruit trucker who sold to stores in Lansing and nearby towns. Aunt Julia was a good, kind, pleasant person. She made great pancakes and ice cream, the latter with cranking help from the menfolk. When I was in high school I remember my folks playing cards late in the evening at Aunt Julia and Uncle Bert's place. Uncle Bert allowed my folks to build a log house on some of his land and live there. Later he let them live in another of his vacant houses. They had three children, Iva, Lyle and Mabel. Lyle was of courting age when Alvah returned from Arizona. They went courting together and this is when Alvah met Goldie.

ALVAH DODDS
My father was in Canada with his wife and father in 1915. Just when they returned to the U.S., I don't know, but I was born near Smyrna in March of 1916. Mary Pellett tells me that they came home to avoid the Canadian World War I draft. At the time of my birth Alvah was working on the hydroelectric dam near White's Bridge. This dam was owned by the Lowell Municipal electric service. My parents were then living with my mother's brother, Uncle Bill Dicken. My mother was attended by Doctor Penton, mentioned in the Smyrna Bicentennial book. (Doctor Penton also treated my father at the time of his fatal accident, and took him to the Belding hospital in his model T sedan.)
During the next couple of years we lived in Belding and Alvah worked on dams for the Callier Light and Power Company and the Spencer Light and Power Company, mentioned in the Smyrna book. My dad once told me that he took a correspondence course from the International Correspondence Schools; whether this was where he trained to be an electrician or this was perhaps a business administration course to supplement his electrical experience, I don't know. Anyway, he got enough experience and education to be hired by the Detroit Edison [company] as Local Manager in Farmington. World War I ended with an Armistice to be effective the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. A couple of days before that date premature word of the armistice leaked to Detroit. My dad was returning from the interview where he had been hired, when all traffic stopped to celebrate the false armistice. In these days of "women's lib" and ERA, it's interesting to note that the executive who h!
ired my dad that day was a woman.
We were in Farmington 7 years. We lived in several rented places, but finally bought and moved to what is now 23915 Farmington Road. My parents had the house built. It is still there in the summer of 1980. Vernon Raymond Dodds was born in this house, delivered by a Doctor Holcomb. At the start, being Local Manager meant being meter-reader, trouble-shooter, office boy, and many other things. Later Alvah had a couple of girls in the office, meter-readers and a resident repair man. Alvah was paid "$52.00 every Monday morning". He also had a mileage allowance that provided him with a new car every year. His area of responsibility included Farmington, Walled Lake, Novi, Wixom, South Lyon and New Hudson. As a measure of the value of $52.00 per week, my dad bought a Chevrolet 590 during this period. It was called a 590 because its price was $590.00. Before leaving Farmington my dad was a wiring contractor and opened a restaurant on Grand River avenue in Farmington in part!
nership with another man. I selected the name for this establishment, the Victory Restaurant. How much time these endeavors took and just why he was involved in them I don't know. I recall, though, that the doctor told them to take my mother to Arizona for her health, because she had tuberculosis. A later visit to the doctor disclosed that she wasn't strong enough to make the trip. So, she was put in a sanitarium in Pontiac, where she gained 12 pounds. Perhaps this change in plans caused Alvah to quit the Detroit Edison [company] prematurely, thus getting him into the other activities.
Although my dad played no musical instrument, he was musically inclined. I remember him taking me to a barbershop quartet show once, held in what was then the Farmington City Hall. Perhaps my mother was with us, I don't remember thjat. That was my introduction to four-part harmony, and I've enjoyed it ever since. When the two of us went somewhere in the car we sang a lot as we went along. He taught me how to sing two-part harmony. We must have sung a lot enroute to Arizona.
Alvah and I travelled to Tucson together in a Maxwell automobile in November 1925. Travel was difficult because there was no national road net[work]. Paving existed only in villages and cities--only gravel (or mud)) outside the towns. The trip took 14 days. We arrived in Tucson the day before Thanksgiving Day. The day after Thanksgiving Day Alvah cashed his last traveller's check. This must have been a difficult time for him--I don't know how long it took him to get a job so that he could send for Lydia and Vernon. They finally came by train, though, after he went to work for the Tucson Gas, Electric Light and Power Company as a meter-reader. He progressed to service work and collection agent for overdue accounts. He "moonlighted" as their evening switchboard operator and service trouble-shooter. Sometimes I was allowed to go with him on his evening work.
We lived in a number of places in Tucson, but finally bought and settled at 21 N. Westmoreland in an area known as Menlo Park just north of "Mount A". At one time we lived in the country about 2 miles west of the world-famous San Xavier Mission.
After my mother's death Alvah's sister, my Aunt Eva Higgins, kept house for us for one school year starting in Tucson and ending in Nogales. Here Alvah was manager of the Appliance Dept. for the local electric company. This job came to an end as a part of the crumbling of the huge Foshay utility empire. W. B. Forshay was national utility magnate who operated a fraudulent schem that bankrupted many smaller companies. Some of the Foshay organization survived and my dad received several telegrams offering him a deal in Ketchikan, Alaska. He didn't take their offer, but returned to Michigan to work as a lineman for Michigan Bell. This was the leading edge of the great depression. Soon he found himself working in a cement-block factory in Lansing, then totally unemployed in Saranac, later in Smyrna, where the depression brought him to poverty and (for him) the shame of being on welfare. At the time of his death he was farming on shares for a Mrs. Bricker and working on WPA!
.. The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was a depression era make-work project, the butt of many jokes. In its defense let it be said that it was better than direct welfare in that the WPA man was at least doing some work for his food handouts, thus preserving some dignity and pride. Alvah's WPA job was digging ditches between Smyrna and Saranac.
My dad is the unseen passenger in my van every time I travel between Greenville and Novi. He loved to drive, loved automobiles, and would be fascinated with modern improvements in cars. In his day they had no heater or air conditioner, only hand-operated windshield wipers. The expressways would positively thrill him. In his day he travelled many times between Farmington and Belding/Smyrna/Saranac. The road were all gravel, and the longest straight stretch measured about a mile. He would just get up to speed and it would be time to slow for the next square turn (no gentle curves).
One last item about Alvah must be passed on to his descendants. He dearly loved POPCORN! I can see him in my mind's eye shaking a handful of popcorn in a circular motion while laughing uproariously at some joke. Between laughs he would toss some popcorn in his mouth. I'm dutifully preserving this tradition and hereby charge all of Alvah's descendants to continue the practice.

ALVA DODDS DIES OF ACCIDENT ON FARM. HORSES TRAMPLE FARMER WHEN FRIGHTENED. WIFE AND SON INJURED. FUNERAL MONDAY
Last Friday while Alva Dodds, a farmer near Smyrna, was loading oats, with his wife driving the team, the standard of the wagon broke letting the wife and young son nine years of age fall behind the horses. This frightened the horses and they began to run.
Mr. Dodds went to the horses' head to grab the bridles to stop them. He missed the bridles and was thrown under the feet and trampled in the chest and abdomen.
The mother and son were also injured. They were all taken to belding hospital where Mr. Dodds died Saturday noon.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon at Belding.
Mr. Dodds was about 52 years old. His wife and son are expected to recover.
Survivors besides his wife, Goldie and three sons, Gerald Dodds of Selfridge Field, Mt. Clemens; Vernon Dodds of Gratton, and Lye Dodds at home; a daughter Catherine, at home, and a step-daughter, Evelyn Casner at home; two sisters, Mrs. Eva Higgins and Mrs. Julia Goff of Saranac, a brother, herbert of Saranac, Mr. Dodds was a nephew of Mrs. Jasper Morrow of Lake Odessa.
-------------------------------------
INJURED FRIDAY, DIES SATURDAY
While loading oats in the field last Friday evening, Alva J. Dodds, living near Smyrna, was critically injured when the standard of the wagon broke, throwing Mrs. Dodds and son Lyle to the ground behind the horses legs. Dodds, who was pitching oats onto the wagon, ran in front of the frightened horses as they started to run away, and tried to stop them. He was thrown to the ground and tramped on, receiving several broken ribs, a crushed abdomen, and injuries about the face and head. Mrs. Dodds received injuries about the head and her son, Lyle, as injured about the legs and arms.
Mr. Dodds was removed to the Belding hospital where he died Saturday noon. Last report from Mrs. Dodds and son was that they were doing very nicely and were not injured as bad as was first thought.
Gerald Dodds, son of Alva Dodds, who is a quartermaster in the U. S. air service and is stationed at Selfridge field, Mt. Clemens, arrived at the Belding hospital early Saturday morning to be with his injured parents.
Mr. Dodds is a brother of Mrs. Walter Higgins of this village. This death of Mr. Dodds is a double tragedy to Mrs. Higgins as two weeks ago last Sunday, Mr. Higgins' funeral was held from the Methodist church in Saranac.
Surviving Dodds besides the widow and Lyle, are two other sons, Gerald of Selfridge field, Mt. Clemens, and Vernon of Vergennes; a daugher, Catherine; a stepdaughter, Evelyn Casner, and two sisters, Eva Higgins and Mrs. Julia Goff of Saranac.
Funeral services were held for Dodds Monday afternoon from the Fales funeral parlors in Belding, and interment was made in Smyrna cemetery.
===============================
SMYRNA MAN TRAMPLED TO DEATH BY HORSES
Attemped to stop horses when they started to run away
Baffled in an attempt to save his wife and small son from being injured by a frightened team which was starting to run, Alva J. Dodds, 52 year old farmer and well known resident of Smyrna where he resided with his family on the Bricker farm, was so badly injured Friday evening that he died in the Belding hospital at noon Saturday.
Funeral services for Mr. Dodds were held Monday afternoon at the Fales funeral home with Rev. H. S. Ellis officiating and burial was in the Smyrna cemetery by the side of his first wife, the former Eliza Dicken, who died some years ago.
Dodds was a WPA worker and it is said that his fellow workers are planning on harvesting the crops and a cash contribution as an expression of their sympathy and assistance to Mrs. Dodds.
Surviving besides the widow, Goldie Dodds, 36, are the children, Gerald Dodds, 22, Evelyn Casner, 25, Vernon Dicken, 15, Lyle Dodds, 6, Catherine Dodds, 4, two sisters, Evah Higgins and Mrs. Julia Goff, and one brother, Hubert Dodds. Pallbearers were Earl Norton, Clair Norton, Otto Oberlin, Lyle Goff, Ivan Hewitt and Walter Oberlin.

LYDIA DICKEN DODDS
I have a guilty feeling of disloyalty and insufficient love for my mother when I realize how few are my memories of her; however, my memory has been dimmed by the 53 years since her death. I had an additional 11 years to reinforce impressions of my father.
Lydia must have had a sad life. She never knew her own mother and died quite young herself. It wasn't all grim, though. I'm sure she must have been happy in the Bignell family and for some time with the Van Houtens in Jackson.
Belding was once a great industrial town with 5 or 6 silk mills as well as some refrigerator plants. The silk mills attracted young girls and women as workers from far afield. There were several dormitories for these women where their lives were regulated very closely. They had to be in the dorm before some certain time each night. These gals were called "silkworms", and were quite an attraction for the men from a wide area. Somewhere in family stories I've heard that Lydia was a silkworm and lived in the Richardson dormitory. Whether that is where she met Alvah, I don't know.
In Farmington Lydia was an active member of the Methodist church. She played piano, but not well, I've been told. In Tucson she was at home most of the time, but confined to a bed. Her bed was on a screened porch, for the benefit of the fresh air to her health. I did some of the cooking so that meals could be ready when my father came from work and had to return right away. Lydia's bed allowed her to see the kitchen and direct every move I made. I didn't know what I was doing, but I was an extension of her recipes, all in her head.
About Christmas time in 1926 Uncle Bill and Aunt Agnes Dicken drove to Tucson. I don't think they stayed more than a week, when they returned to Michigan, taking Vernon with them. I remember my parents standing in the back yard (Lydia was out of bed then!) watching them leave. My mother was crying, and I remember thinking how unnecessary that was. There was nothing to cry about--Vernon was not with strangers, but with his Uncle and Aunt! Now I realize that the whole family (including Lydia) knew of her impending death. Why else would Uncle Bill and Aunt Agnes have made that long trip? My mother must have known that she was seeing her son for the last time.
Near the end she was in a sanitarium in Tucson and there she died. Married at 23, she had 13 years of marriage.
36 is not a proper dying age.

Sad was the news as it spread about the village of the death of Mrs. Menno Weber, a well known and highly respected lady of our village. Death came about 3.00 Sunday morning after the second heart attack within a few hours. Mrs. Weber had been subject to these spells for several years. The first attack came about 1l.00 Saturday night.
Mrs. Weber was an every day Christian. The beautifying influence of a pure religion were spread over a life and character as spotless and charming as was ever possessed by any of the noble women who have lived and died during the ages that are gone. As such a life was a blessing and benefaction to all within the sphere of its influence so is the death of such a one a public misfortune, as well as an irreparable loss to the home circle made desolate by her departure. It is difficult to pay a fitting tribute to the memory of so noble a woman. One whose life was embellished by the most charming and lovable attributes of her sex. A perfect lady at all times - under all circumstances, she seemed both to inspire the love and respect of all who were so fortunate as to be acquainted with her.
Mrs. Edith Weber was born Feb. 5, 1877, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Dodds. On July 7, 1903, she was married at the home of her parents in Odessa Township to Menno C. Weber. Mr. Weber is a retired postmaster of Saranac and was also prominent on the village board.
Mrs. Weber was a member of the Ladies Literary club, Everybodys Garden Club and Auxiliary of Rural Letter Carriers Association.
She is survived by her husband, Menno C. Weber, a son, Paul, of Houghton Lake, two daughters, Mrs. Stanley Ayers of Saranac, Mrs. Clarence Dolloway of Lowell, five grandchildren, a brother, Ralph Dodds of Keene township.
Funeral services were held at the Weber home this Wednesday afternoon at 2.30. Rev. J. W. Winger officiated and burial was made in the Saranac cemetery.
Those from out of town who attended the services were Mr. & Mrs. Leo Dodds and Bill of Grand rapids, Miss Alvena Good of Kalamazoo, Mrs. J. C. Clements of Kansas City, MO, Mrs. Chester Bluett, Chicago, Ill., Mr. & Mrs. James Jacobs, Michigan City, Ind., Mrs. Hattie Walker, Lowell, Mr. James Dodds, Lansing, Mr. & Mrs. James Topp, Lowell, Mr. & Mrs. Homer Thornton, Grand Rapids, Mr. & Mrs. Earl Paulson, Mrs. Jennie Ottosan, Mr. Frank Sullivan, Mr. Glenn Lane, all of Grand Rapids, Mr. Bert Haskins, Merriweather, Michigan, Mr. Grover Haskins, of Grand Rapids, Mr. & Mrs. Hugh Myers, Hastings, Mr. & Mrs. Will Gavett, Lake Odessa.

"Burned to Death"
While working around the cook stove getting dinner Sunday, Mrs. Cash Williams' clothes caught fire and before it could be put out, burned her whole body to a crisp. She died at an early hour Monday morning.
As near as can be learned, she was changing kettles on the stove, using her apron as a holder when the apron caught fire. Her little sons ran out doors and gave the alarm, but before the neighbors could come to her assistance, her clothing was nearly burned off and her whole body was terribly burned.
Dr. Braley was called and did all that could be done for her. It is a very sad case and the husband and children and relatives have the sympathy of the whole community."

He married Minnie Lottie DEMARAY, 1900 in Barry Co, MI. Born 29 Jul 1883 in Maple Grove Twp., Barry Co., MI. Died 26 Jun 1956 in Hastings, Barry Co, MI. Buried in Lakeside Cemetery, Lake Odessa, MI.
A biographical sketch of the Rush family on pages 228-229 of the book, "History of Woodland, Michigan, 1837-1987" also gives information about the Demarays. "The history of the Rush family in Woodland Township began in 1856. Calvin Demaray married Julia Ann Frank and brought her to Michigan from Canada; the Demarays were both of French Canadian ancestry. The land they chose to homestead was covered wi th solid hard maple trees; enough land was cleared and logs used to build a log house and barn. The remaining timber was felled in windrows and burnt, and the land between the stumps farmed until the stumps rotted enough to be removed. In those early days the main occupation was hunting and fishing.
Calvin and Julia Ann Demaray were the parents of thirteen children. Elizabeth, born on the 28th of July, 1868, married Leslie N. Rush in 1887. The Rush family, originally of Leicester, England, had settled in New York State before emigrating to Michigan.
Leslie and Elizabeth Demaray Rush bought land and settled across the road from Elizabeth's family homestead. The land was wet and marshy, but drained to become good farm land. Leslie Rush continued to purchase land in the area until he owned 160 acres in one tract. In 1912, after the deaths of Calvin and Julie Demaray, he bought the original Demaray homestead, which he gave to his only son, Leo, born in 189l. Leslie Rush built the barn, which is still standing, in 1902, and the house in 1904. All the lumber used in the construction came from the farm, and the help in the barn raising came from friends and neighbors.
Leo Rush married Margaret Foght, from Lake Odessa, in 1915, at the Ionia Free Fair--which was common in those days. The Rushes were the parents of four sons, Leslie L., b. 1914, killed in a farm accident in 1941; Kenneth F., b. 1918, d. 1985; Dallas, b. 1921, who still farms the original Rush homestead; and Roger, b. 1924. The three Rush boys were all drafted in World War II and all saw action overseas.
After the war, Dallas Rush married Mary Ella McLeod; they continued to work the family farm. Two sons were born of their union, Leslie J., who lives in Lake Odessa with his wife, Janie, and son Kenneth; and Hub, who, with his wife Bonnie and two sons, Craig and Brian, built a home on the farm where they reside. Dallas' brother Roger Rush lives in Hastings with his wife, the former Betty Makley of Woodland.

Will Gavit Finds a Fox Den on his Farm Monday
While working on a farm across the road from Lawhead Lake, which is about six miles southwest of Lake Odessa, Will Gavit on Monday located a fox den with at least six three or four month-old fox pups in it. The spot was littered up with pheasant and chicken feathers, which likely accounts for the apparent scarcity of pheasants on his place and the recent loss of several of Wesley Booher's chickens, Mr. Booher being his nearest neighbor. Will succeeded in getting within gunshot of the adult fox, but he didn't have a gun along. However, he is making plans for getting her later on, but expects in the next few days to get a gang together to clean out the den and put the pups in a cage for the summer.
Mr. Gavit says that although he hasn't dug out a fox den in a good many years, he has dug out skunks and other like predators and doesn't think he will have much trouble in bagging this mess of varmints alive.

Lansing, Nov. 17, 1966
Dear Eleanor--
Thought I'd write and let you know about the new arrival. Did you get a card from Betty Rae, that they have a baby girl, name, Renee Elizabeth Catron. She was born Oct. 2nd. And Peter's have a boy, a big one, or quite so, 8 lbs. Born Oct. 30th. His name is Sean Michael Campanile, good old Irish name.
Doris is working, has been with the State since July 5th. I stay here and get Teresa's lunch and am here, usually, when she gets home from school.
Peter & Sarah live next door to us. Their house is just exactly like hours. Johnny bought it and fixed it up a lot for them. The house was an estate, and sold fairly cheap, but needing quite a lot of repairs. The man who owned it had lived there alone for 8 or 9 years & hadn't kept it up.
Doris had a letter from Carole, saying how well the things she sent up fitted her girl. It's nice someone in the family can use them.
We are going to Marie's for Thanksgiving, all but Doris' family. They don't feel that their car will take them that far. Margaret's school buried night before last, and there is another vacant school building, about 3 miles farther, & they will move there.
I talked to Trudie a short time ago. She is teaching Kindergarten now for a time. Sandi is at Western in Kalamazoo. Glenn will graduate next year. Bruce is using a wheel chair at school to help him get to his classes better. And Jimmy is just the same as ever. Just a boy!
Marie & Eddie are doing real well. Marie works nearly all the time. And, of course, like Marg's & Doris', their boys are growing up. Well, I guess I said all I know. I hope to get to Lako before too long, so may be I'll be seeing you. Ever Love, Mom K.
P.S. I forgot to say I hope you and your family are all ok.
Mom

No surviving children by his first marriage
Hugh J. Dodds told me on 9 Mar 1989 that Ed Dodds, Hugh & Margaret's oldest boy, went to South Dakota. Anslem went to South Dakota & into Canada because he couldn't find good land in SD. Miles also went there 7-8 years. Grandma & Grandpa Dodds got to where they couldn't take care of themselves, and Miles returned to take care of them. When they died, since Miles had taken care of them, they left their place to Miles. Ed owned 140 acres farm right next to it. Uncle Ed tricked Miles into buying that 140 acre farm. Then along came the Depression. One year Miles couldn't pay interest. Ed wouldn't let Miles stay on there, and Miles lost the farm. Miles was a very hard working man, working 7 days a week. When he lost the farm, there were more hard feelings between the other brothers and sisters than between Ed and Miles.
After Miles lost the farm, he needed work, and jobs were scarce. After a while an opening came at the Ionia County Farm, and they hired Miles as farm boss. Miles hated politics. He worked there 3 years, and it was a pretty good job. For the first time in their lives they had money to spend and do what they wanted to do. The political job ended after 3 years, and miles worked 3 different farms until he was ready to retire.
Hugh was working in Pontiac. His mother got a job in the post office. He said as long as his folks were on the farm, they had absolutely nothing. As far as he wa concerned, losing the farm was the best part of his life. He said his parents and he did everything together.
They swapped things for payment. His father did not let him learn to farm, he didn't want Hugh to be a farmer. Hugh grew up a tinker. He used to repair the old farm machinery--it came naturally. He was 14 when his father lost the farm.
His dad bought an old Model T Ford in 1917, and it was old when he bought it. They were afraid to drive it more than back and forth to town, so they didn't get to see their relatives very much.

In September 1917 he took the examination for admission to the bar before the State Board Examiners and passed with great credit and later received his certificate to practice before the Supreme Court of the state. On January 1st, 1918 he became the junior member of the law firm of Lombard, Hext & Chase. In his death the bar of the county and state loses one of its most prominent young men.
On Sept. 15th, 1913 he was married to Miss Ruby Walker, of Lowell, Mich., who died on December 30th, 1916, leaving surviving a little daughter now three years of age. On Nov. 22, 1917 he was married to Miss Iza Thompson, of Rockford, Michigan.

Information from Gerald C. Dodds of 105 S. Bower Street, Greenville, MI 48838, 1 November 1980 [follows]
GERALD CARLTON DODDS
I was born on Uncle Bill's farm. Not the Hoppough place, but the Vandenbrock farm just over the county line in Kent County. My folks lived in Belding for a while, then in Farmington, then we went to Tucson. I can't tell the exact route we took, but can give clues. Our Maxwell had a broken axle in Indianapolis and a collision in downtown St. Louis. We had a tent, but one night we slept in a heated building which was the winter quarters for the zoo animals and their keeper, at Dodge City, Kansas. I was fascinated by the tame skunk the keeper had. I remember the name La Junta and the Raton Pass, where we stopped to have a short snowball fight. While driving, my dad would pass his pipe and can of tobacco to me to fill the pipe and tamp it down, then hand back to him.
As early as my Farmington days I remember disliking cold weather. I played outside and slid down hill with a sled, but soon would be inside where my mother would try to get me out from under her feet. In Tucson I discovered what it was like to have friendly weather most of the time. I played on Mount "A" (called Sentinel Peak on a current map of Tucson) nearly all day Saturdays, after first doing the vacuuming and dusting.
When school let out in 1927 (only about a month before my mother's death), I went to Michigan by train with Mrs. Brown and her three children. The Browns were people we had met soon after our arrival in Tucson. They hailed from Brent Creek, near Flint, but had been in Tucson for years because their 16 year old son had asthma. They were going back east for the summer. Mr. Brown didn't go, as he had to work. He was a railroad freight brakeman, so his family travelled on a pass. My dad had to buy a ticket for me, of course. For this trip Mrs. Brown carried food that we could eat on the train, since the dining car was expensive. We ate some meals in the diner, and that was a special treat. Uncle Bill drove to Brent Creek to pick me up at the Brown's relatives. Later I was at Uncle Bert's farm near Saranac when Uncle Bill arrived to tell me of my mother's death. Uncle Bill was an undemonstrative man, so I immediately knew something was wrong when he got out of his car an!
d kissed me! Then he said "Boy, your mother's dead". I held to myself the thought that there had been some mistake. She wasn't really dead, and soon they'd discover the error. Even after Uncle Bill showed me the telegram from my dad, I didn't believe it. When the casket was placed in Grandma Bignell's parlor, I avoided walking anywhere near it as I went to the front door. Aunt Carrie, my mother's girlhood friend, noticed my avoidance and gently made me look at my mother. It's probably a good thing she did that, for I would never have done it by myself.
One of my great embarrassments was the last item on the check list when I was passed from one relative to another. They always asked "Did you pack the rubber sheet?" I was a bed-wetter until the age of 11 or 12. I would dream that I was going to the toilet and when I awoke cold, wet, and miserable----sure enough, I had gone to the toilet! Breaking me of the habit proved to be simple, but no one thought of it until Aunt Agnes did. She told me that I could have only one glass of water at the evening meal and only one during the evening. Lo and behold--the problem was solved!
How come I never became President of the United States? I almost met two of the classic requirements. I wasn't born in a log cabin, it's true. But, I did live in one while in high school and I walked l.4 miles to school. (Measured by speedometer this summer). Some of that l.4 miles was crossing the river valley where winter winds got a full sweep. I'd arrive at school frozen through, frequently to find that some of the kids who lived in town weren't there.
I have some strong memories of the depression. We never went hungry, but we came close. I can remember when some of us would push back from the table early, claiming we weren't hungry, so that the food would go further. Finally my dad swallowed his pride and went to see about welfare. We seldom had fresh milk, so we ate corn flakes with canned milk thinned with water. I can't recommend that dish. I did bring with me from depression days a taste for canned milk in my coffee. We had lots of beans and bean soup. My dad and I cut firewood on shares. We'd cut two cords--one for the owner of the woodlot and one for us. Muich of ours went to the Doctor's house in payment of bills. That wood that we sold went for $2.00 per cord. Chain saws didn't exist in those days. We used a two-man crosscut saw and axes.
Since I was valedictorian of my high school class, I received a scholarship for half the tuition at Albion College. I gave some thought to becoming a Methodist minister, but after full consideration I had doubt about the strength of my conviction. Cleary College, a privately owned business school in Ypsilanti, would give me a written guarantee to get me a job for my room and board. Albion would have required room and board money, plus the other half of the tuition, so Cleary seemed a better financial deal. Furthermore, business training seemed more practical. Cleary it was.
I worked as a waiter at Jack Spratt's Lunch. Jack's name was really Omer B. Spratt, but what was a better name for a restaurant than the one he used? Aunt Rose loaned me money for tuition and clothing. The first adult new suit I ever owned she bought me at J. L. Hudson in Detroit. When school closed the next summer, Aunt Rose's income was diminished, so she recommended that I leave Cleary for the summer. Jack Spratt couldn't guarantee holding my job for me through the summer, so I stayed on, signing a note at the college for my tuition and getting a janitor job in an office building for a room in the office building. This made the academic strain severe and my grades in accounting began to suffer. About this time my dad told me about a new organization created especially for kids of welfare families. Smart or not, I seized the opportunity to get relief from the book grind, and signed up.
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was one of the many alphabetical agencies created by the new deal. It was a semi-military organization. Camps were commanded by Army Reserve officers, giving them command experience that would prove invaluable during World War II. The work activity was supervised by the Forestry Service. Some camps were in or near national parks; there Park Service Rangers were in charge of the work. Andrew Bignell, Grandma Bignell's only son, was a Forestry Superintendent in CCC Camps in the west. He had a forestry education from Michigan Agricultural College (now Michigan State University). The workers of the CCC were called Enrollees and were the sons of welfare families. Pay was $30.00 per month, but the enrollee got only $5.00--the rest was sent to his family back home. I spent my first half day on a road gang building a fire trail near St. Ignace. When we came in for lunch, a Mr. Burns grabbed me and told me I was supposed to be working for!
him. He was the Educational Advisor. In a group of little-educated men my college training, although incomplete, had impressed someone. I became assistant educational advisor. This raised my pay to $36.00 per month, $1l.00 of which I could keep. I typed letters and reports for Mr. Burns, ran a mimeograph camp newsletter, taught typing class and ran in and out of barracks announcing classes in the evening. These young men were given an opportunity to improve themselves on a voluntary basis. They were also effectively kept off big city street corners.
I spent about 7 months in the CCC--at Camp Kenneth, near Moran, and Camp Raco, near Raco, both in the upper peninsula of Michigan. (Later I spent a winter in Korea, and I'm not sure which was the worse winter.) Our CCC barracks were heated with coal-burning stoves made from 55 gallon oil drums. They were not left burning during the night. Getting up in the morning was quite a shock. I saw no career future in the CCC, but this experience pointed me toward the military.
Following the CCC experience, I drove Aunt Carrie and Uncle Arthur Price from Jackson to Tucson. Aunt Carrie had been my mother's friend during her youth. Uncle Arthur had TB. They had a Paige sedan which Uncle Arthur didn't want to exceed 35 mph! When you drive that speed in the country then come to a town with a 35 mph speed limit you feel as though you're really speeding through the town. We finally got to Arizona, where I got a job working in a cafeteria. I tried for office jobs, but no one was impressed with my incomplete business college. Everywhere I heard "what experience have you got?" Discouraged, I returned to Michigan and went to work for Uncle Bert, driving his fruit truck for $3.00 per week and my room and board. When I heard of a temporary Army recruiting office at the Ionia Armory I investigated, got my dad's permission, and joined up. When I told Uncle Bert he said "What'd you do that for? I was going to raise your pay to $6.00 per week".
In Tucson prospective employers wanted experience. When I said I had none, that was the end of the interview. I thought I might as well get it over with right away, so when interviewed by Major Joseph P. Sullivan at Selfridge Field I promptly told him I had no experience. "Good," he said, "we won't have to break any bad habits. We'll break you in our way". And they did. A civil service man was Major Sullivan's purchasing agent and I was turned over to him for training. During the first three years I was promoted to PFC and demoted to private with various combinations of specialist ratings, always moving up in pay. When I got my first promotion to 6th class specialist I quit doing my own laundry. We used to wash our underwear and handkerchiefs in the bathroom and dry them on the steam radiators. Many soldiers "rolled their own" cigarettes using Bull Durham tobacco. I spoked "tailor-mades". Lucky Strikes were $l.10 per carton, Old Gold's were $l.00. I repaid my debt!
at Cleary College at the rate of $10.00 per month during this period. After my dad got on WPA and I was a private or PFC, he said one day "who'd have thought we'd both have good government jobs?"
In November, 1939, I re-enlisted for another 3 years. Savings from my uniform allowance were paid to me then with a re-enlistment bonus. The two items totalled $135.00 and I bought a 1935 Dodge sedan for $125.00. As soon as I was re-enlisted Major Sullivan told me to start studying at the office, and he would drop in nightly to check on me. The study material was Army Regulations. The exam was administered in February of 1940. Applicants were relieved of their jobs for an entire week and spent 8 hours a day in the exec room, 4 hours on Saturday. We each had a shelf of Army Regulations and a typewriter. We typed solutions to problems sent to us from Washington. After the week was over our papers were mailed to Washington for grading, along with a recommendation from Major Sullivan. Later an eligibility list was published. There were 108 guys on the list for staff sergeant in Supply and Administration. I was Number 107! In ordinary years 30 or 40 people got promoted!
from the top of the list. At the end of the year the list was discarded. If you wanted to be on next year's list you took the exam again. This year, through the grace of Adolph Hitler, they cleaned out the list. In fact, they used the same lis for promotion to Technical Sergeant, since the increased tempo of military life brought about by the impending war made it too time-consuming to put out more exams.
In the summer of 1940 I went to The Quartermaster School in Philadelphia and took The Warrant Officer and Enlisted Men's course. After returning to duty at Selfridge Field, I then studied a correspondence course called the Ten Series Sub-course. This would ultimately lead to a Reserve Commission, but it took time. When Officer Candidate Schools were created I applied for this avenue to promotion. When accepted for OCS I then dropped the 10 series. In the summer of 1941 I again went to the QM School in Philadelphia, this time to OCS. Upon graduation on the 1st of October I became a "Mustang" Second Lieutenant.
The term "Mustang" was Army slang dating back to cavalry days. Wild horses, descendants of animals lost by early Spanish explorers, were captured and broken for use in the cavalry. They were more difficult to train and remained less tractable than other steeds. They were called Mustangs. Mustang officers were officers who had been enlisted men, thus lacking the poise and polish of West Pointers and college-trained reserve officers. A number of us from our OCS class were sent to Fort Lee, Virginia, where we had to prove ourselves to a regiment of Clemson and VMI graduates. We gradually found acceptance and friendship.
Fort Lee was a basic and technical training center for newly-drafted men. I did duty as a platoon leader and company commander in basic training, as an assistant to the Regimental Supply Officer, and later, as Regimental Supply Officer. The Army required long hours of its people at all times, but it was then more pronounced. All officers had to attend a special school for two hours each Tuesday and Thursday evening. Rotating duty as Officer of The Day and Officer of The Guard came around frequently. When new draftees arrived, the first Sunday was spent processing them. I had to take an official day of leave in order to be sure of having the day off when Doris and I got married.
In June of 1944 I went overseas. (As I left I made final payment of my loan to aunt Rose, utilizing that year's income tax refund.) It was against all rules to maintain a diary; if it fell into enemy hands it might give them useful information. I maintained a coded record of my overseas travel. If anyone had seen it they would have learned nothing. In preparation for this book, I looked in my military "201 file" where that itinerary used to be. I couldn't find it. So, the following is from memory.
I was 38 days aboard a Liberty ship enroute from Norfolk, Virginia, to Bari, Italy. Our ship was part of a convoy of approximately 100 ships, including the naval vessels protecting us. We were accompanied by blimps for sub patrol. It was well known that German U-boats had been working the straits of Gibralter successfully. It was a great comfort to see American "Mad-Cats" flying between the rows of our convoy at deck level as we entered the straits. Mad-Cats were Catalina flying boats (thus Cats) towing a long cable behind them with a Magnetic Airborne Detector (MAD) on the end of the cable. This cable allowed the detector to operate away from disturbances created by the airplane's engines, thus enabling it to detect submarines. The plane carried rearward, firing weapons to sink any subs that were detected. The last night before arriving at Bari, we were in the Adriatic Sea within sight of German-occupied territory and in bright moonlight. Nothing happened. We spent 6!
days in Bari. The equipment aboard our ship was destined for Bari, but the passengers were not. We flew aboard a battle-retired B-17 to Algiers, Algeria, in Africa, where we spent 6 days learning our destiny. Then by train to Oran, Algeria, to the personnel replacement depot, where we spent another 6 days. Here we got some of our mail, and I learned that Jerry, Jr., was now out of danger. I hadn't known anything was wrong. After 6 days we boarded ship for Naples, Italy. From Naples we went by truck to another replacement depot at Caserta. This was located on a former show-place dairy farm owned by Count Ciano, Mussolini's son-in-law. Our mess hall was in one of the barns. Here we caught up with the rest of f our mail and I found out that Butch (Jerry, Jr.) had been in serious condition following surgery. I didn't have to worry, though, 'cause I already knew the happy ending of the story.
After some boring duty as mail censor, I finally got an assignment. We were trucked to the Naples airport where we boarded a C-47 for a flight to Oran. There I became a camp commander for Italian Service Units. Former Italian Prisoners of War were partly freed from prisoner status and formed into American-type units doing service work in support of American troops. My units were bakery, laundry, shoe-repair, and refrigerator truck companies. As the war progressed, I sent some of my outfits to France and Italy, and I finally accompanied the last two companies of my camp to Italy. Once again we sailed from Oran to Naples. We bunked for several days in former dormitories of the University of Naples awaiting orders to move on. We finally went from Naples to Leghorn aboard box-cars. With coal "scrounged" along the tracks we had a fire in a pail. With the boxcar doors closed we were fairly warm, but choked by smoke; with the doors open, the smoke didn't bother as much, but !
we were cold.
At Leghorn I was re-united with some of my Italian friends from Oran. We were assigned to the 61st QM Base Depot, main supply base for the entire area and the front lines. An old Army expression dealing with non-combatants says that they "never heard a shot fired in anger". This is almost true of my experience. At Bari and at Algiers I was present during air raids. At Leghorn we could hear the front line big guns at night. In the daytime, nearby truck traffic and other activities masked the combat sounds. One night one of our warehouses caught fire, and we fought the fire all night long, keeping it from spreading to other warehouses. The fire must have been visible from the German side of the lines, for a German plane circled the fire for a few minutes. The Americans had just received new P-61 "Black Widow" night fighter planes at Pisa. Soon one appeared over our fire and the German disappeared. We had air cover the rest of the night.
There wasn't a great deal of "tourist" opportunity. One Sunday I did get a jeep and went with another guy to Florence where we walked across the famous old bridge over the Arno River and went through one church. On another occasion I climbed to the top of the Tower of Pisa.
I spent some time near Foggia in another Italian Service Unit camp, then in one at Manfredonia in the "heel" of the boot of Italy. After inactivating that camp and freeing the Italians at thewar's end, I went back to the 61st at Leghorn where they now had German POW's. I worked there briefly before returning to The States.
The trip home was faster than the earlier Atlantic crossing had been, since we were not in a convoy. I was again aboard a Liberty, which is not a fastr ship. Naples to Norfolk took 16 days, contrasted with the 38 days we had taken before. After vacation, Doris, Butch and I went to Fort Lee again, where I was S-4 (Supply Officer) of the 2nd QM Training Group. The war over, the big move was to get every one back to civilian life, if they wanted. Consequently, my supply officer job was reversed from usual procedures--I was turning in supplies, rather than issuing them for use. The Army had a program at that time designed to screen all war-time officers and select some of them to become Regular officers. I applied for this selection but was not chosen. This caused me quite some bitterness, because I was soon sent overseas--again--to Korea. I wasn't good enough to be a Regular officer, but I was good enough to serve in nasty assignments while the newly-selected Regulars we!
re given schooling. Korea, too, was a bitter experience. The Commanding General let it be known that he didn't want any wives over there. Had this been universally applied, we might have swallowed this bitter pill more easily. But, there were some wives and children there. No move was made to make provisions for more to arrive--indeed [it] was officially discouraged.
During the war the Army said that any officer who served honorably for at least six months could sign up as an enlisted man after the war and get the top enlisted grade, Master Sergeant. While I was in Korea, official word came that this offer was going to be withdrawn, so any officer desiring to take advantage of this option was to be returned to the United States for release and enlistment as a Master Sergeant. About 10 or 15 officers out of the 40 or so in our QM Battalion selected this option, and we were off for the U. S. After separation, we had 90 days to exercise the option and I stayed out 90 days. I flew to Michigan where Doris and I bought a 15 foot Mobile Sportsman trailer, with which we journeyed to the Los Angeles area. We visited with Aunt Inez and Vernon while waiting for some special deal to develop at the recruiting office. They talked about putting me in ROTC instructor duty at a high school or college or similar special duty. These special vacancies !
did not occur as rapidly as expected, so I enlisted as a Master Sergeant with no immediate assignment in view. We traded for a larger trailer, a 26 foot Masterbilt. It was so beautifully furnished that we called it "Dreamboat".
This was our travellin' summer. With out new Dreamboat, Doris, Butch and I went to Fort Ord for three weeks. Then clear across country to Fort Lee, Virginia, where I was not in the Quartermaster Corps anymore, but in the Adjutant General Corps--personnel branch. After 5 weeks at the AG School, we and Dreamboat went west agin--this time to San Francisco, where I became Personnel Sergeant major of the Presidio of San Francisco.
At first we lived in a trailer park in Marin County, near Mill Valley. There we met Bob and Mabel Nelson and Mabel's mother, Mrs. Dumore. Everybody called her "Nana". Nana is now in her 90's and we still correspond with her at Christmas each year. In this trailer park we also met Rex and Irene Plank. Rex was a civil service federal prison guard, working at Alcatraz. After while we sold Dreamboat and moved into Army quarters on the post. About the same time Rex and Irene sold their trailer and moved to Alcatraz. We visited Alcatraz many times, including one 10 day leave at Christmas time.
After the Korean war started, the Army decided that it needed more officers, so I had an opportunity to go back to Captain. We decided to take this opportunity and we went to Camp Cooke about midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Camp Cooke has since become Vandenburg Air Force Base and is a launch site for space satellites. It was then a training base for an Infantry Division. I was back in the QM Corps, issuing and accounting for supplies. we lived in Arroyo Grande, 47 miles from the camp. At various times I belonged to two different car pools and developed a distinct dislike for all car pools. I was scared to death many times. From Camp Cooke I was again ordered overseas, so we drove back to Michigan where Doris, Butch and Bobby stayed. I rode the spectacular visitadome train to San Francisco and shipped out for Okinawa.
On Okinawa I was chief of the Administrative Division of the Island Quartermaster. General Mark W. Clark was commander of the entire Far East Command, which included our island. General Clark's Quartermaster was Major General Joseph P. Sullivan, who had been Major Sullivan at Selfridge when I first enlisted. The name of General Sullivan struck terror to the hearts of all knowledgeable QM officers, for he was reputed to be a tough old bird. When the word was flashed that "Sully" was coming to Okinawa for an inspection tour, everybody bustled around in preparation for his visit. On the day that he arrived, we division chiefs were gathered in a room with charts at the ready for our "briefing" session. When he entered our room we all came to attention as our Colonel started to introduce each of us to the General. When the Colonel introduced me, General Sullivan grabbed my hand with both of his hands and said, "My old pal Dodds! It's been a long time." That made my day.
After our briefing was finished and the Colonel and the General had left, I dashed to my office for my hat. It was nearly lunch time and I was going to get to the officers' mess ahead of the rush so I could get back to the office. The afternoon promised to be very busy. Just as I headed for the door, Lieutenant Colonel Hanger, our Colonel's assistant, grabbed me and said that I was to eat with the General, at his request. That meal was eaten in a rarefied atmosphere! The General who commanded Okinawa, General Sullivan's aide, and I--a lowly Captain--were seated at that table. To make conversation I told the General that I was excited about the scheduled arrival of my family one week from that day. The General asked, "Do I know your wife?" I answered, "No, sir", knowing that he had met her once, but that hardly constituted "knowing" her. He munched his food briefly, then said, "I did meet your wife one Army day when she was your girlfriend--or did you marry a different!
one?" I told him that he had the right one, all right. Robert, Audrey, and Doris had spent one Army Day at Selfridge Field--probably in 1940. While showing Doris my office, Major Sullivan had come in and I had introduced them. Here was a man who had, over the years, regularly associated with the likes of General Clark, General Eisenhower, Winston Churchill and FDR--and he remembered a remote incident involving one of his soldiers thirteen years earlier. Sully's autographed picture hangs in my den.
Another visitor to our island was Master Sergeant Robert Lawhead, bakery expert for the Far East Command. Bob had been our trailer neighbor for about a year and a half at Fort Lee when he was a struggling Private. I had brought home Army Regulations and we had studied together evenings to get him started up the ladder of promotion. He visited Okinawa two or three times during our time there, and he was there when Doris, Butch and Bobby arrived.
From Okinawa we sailed home for me to attend the Associate Advanced QM Officers' Course at Fort Lee. Upon completion of that course I was assigned as a student at the QM Subsistence School in Chicago, a food technology school. This was the first time we had been near home during our married life, so we drove many times between Park Forest and Smyrna. Upon graduation from this course, I was assigned to the Staff and Faculty of the school, there to stay until my retirement.
The Army was good to me. They were willing to give me an opportunity when I enlisted, despite my lack of experience. With little more than a high school education I was allowed to advance to the grade of Major. On Okinawa we had seven division chiefs in the Island QM. Each of the other six chiefs was a college graduate. At the Subsistence School in Chicago, there were 14 officers--all but me with college degrees, including two doctors. They all treated me as an equal. Throughout the 20 years I had some "raw deals", but on balance, I'm grateful--it couldn't happen in any other oountry in the world.
I feel it necessary to defend my retirement. Currently there is much criticism of retired military people by the general public. Where were the critics when I was separated from my family during my time in Africa, Italy, Korea, Okinawa? Where were the critics when I got along on $20.75 per month? While I was drawing Captain's pay were they drawing lucrative wartime wages in some defense plant? I see 40 to 45 year Gibson retirees who have a Gibson pension and never had to sleep overnight away from home. At World War II mustering-out-time I was often told what a stupid jerk I was for staying in the service. Some of those critics are now envious of my military retired pay, and would have it cut out because of its cost to the taxpayer. I contend that it's little enough recompense for the deprivation and family separation we've experienced.
After having had 20 years of security, knowing that the end of the month would bring a paycheck, I decided to try for riches upon retirement. Consequently, I dove headlong into real estate in Grand Rapids. I applied myself unceasingly, had the help of other established real estate salesmen, but did not make the grade. It took me about 6 months to learn that I was not a salesman. Meanwhile, we had "blown" some of the savings intended for our first house. My job hunt ultimately led me to Meijer Supermarkets, then (1957) an organization of about 20 stores. Today the Meijer chain (with subsidiaries bearing other names) totals nearly 60 stores, covering the entire state. Meijer put me in their IBM room as a supervisor for a while. Then they made me supervisor of an inventory crew that worked mostly at night in closed stores. They finally closed an uneconomic store in downtown Grand Rapids, thus displacing a store manager with more seniority than I. So, I became a member of!
the inventory crew. I again haunted employment agencies. Finally, the salesman from IBM that called on the Meijer IBM room put me in touch with the Gibson IBM manager at Greenville. I started the next day at Gibson--the 23rd of October of 1958.
At Gibson I worked through an historic period. Computers are certain to occupy a place of prominence in our lives in coming years. My Gibson experience almost embraces that industry from its beginnings to the present time. I first worked with IBM accounting machines, then progressed by stages to true computers. Along the way I operated the 305 RAMAC, the 1401 and 1460 computers, and reached retirement II operating the IBM System Three. When White Consolidated Industries acquired Gibson, our computer room was dismantled, since the Chairman
Medical: [continued from Miscellaneous information section]
of the Board didn't like computers--or the IBM company--or something. I never learned the underlying logic. They tried for a year or so to run the factory payroll and Accounts Payable on some National Cash Register machines and failed miserably. The computer room had to be reactivated. In the interim I served in the distribution, inspection, and industrial engineering departments. I was required to attend for one term an MSU extension course in industrial engineering. I dropped the course upon my return to the computer room.
Doris and I bought our first home and moved in on our 17th wedding anniversary. I was 42 years old and took on a 25 year mortgage. I wsa sure I'd never pay for it, but surprisingly we even paid it off early.
I served one year as Vice President of Gibson Management Club, one year as President. During those years we maintained a speakers' bureau and I gave a number of speeches at Lions, Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, in support of Free Enterprise.
Flying has had an important place in my life. I loved flying before I'd even had my first ride. (How ironic it would have been if I had been afflicted with air sickness.) While at Selfridge I took flying lessons at Detroit City Airport at the corner of Conner and Gratiot. At the time I was getting $44.75 per month and paying $18.00 per month for flying lessons--$9.00 per hour. I flew a Monoprep open cockpit airplane with a 90 horsepower Lambert radial engine. I soloed and flew a few hours before meeting Doris. I decided I couldn't afford flying and a girlfriend, so flying was discontinued. After the war I resumed flying in Aeroncas at Hopewell, Virginia, and got my private license. At Marin County Airport near San Rafael I tried for my commercial license, but never passed the written exam in Navigation and Meteorology. This post-war flying was done under the auspices of the GI Bill of Education. After laying off flying for sixteen years I resumed again at Greenville!
at my own expense. I had my own plane for ten years, then flew rental planes for another five years or so. I didn't mind giving up flying when I retired. I had my fun, now to other things.
Now "other things" upon retirement II centered around using our 1977 Bonanza trailer to seek out friendlier climes during the winter! We used a succession of towing vehicles--a 1969 Buick, a 1971 Cadillac, and currently a 1979 Dodge van. It has much more space for the "junk" we take with us. We've been to Florida for a month, to Arizona for one winter and Brownsville, Texas, for another winter. We are content to ignore the trailer most of the summer in order to better afford the winter trips.
As I re-read this narrative I notice that I've told you that I went from Arizona to Michigan with no mention of the means of travel. When I returned from Tucson before joining the Army, I answered an ad in the paper and drove some elderly folks to Greenville (near Dallas), Texas, then hitch-hiked the rest of the way. During my first three years in the Army I hitch-hiked a lot, always wearing my uniform, because that seemed to be a good recommendation. Once I drove a car and trailer from Flint to Phoenix for a trailer dealer, then visited the Browns in Tucson before hitch-hiking back to Michigan. I regret that criminal conditions today make it unwise to pick up hitch-hikers--I feel I owe a lot of rides; however, I realize that it isn't safe.
I hope you've enjoyed this story. I've trod a narrow pathway between a mass of trivia on one hand and truly interesting detail on the other. I can only hope my judgements were right. In summary of my life, I would point out that we've never been rich, but we've never gone hungry.

JESSE GAVIT'S BACK BROKEN MONDAY AM
Jesse Gavit, a 37-year old Odessa farmer, lies in St. Lawrence hospital in Lansing, with a broken back resulting from an accident on his farm at about 9:30 Monday morning while he and his uncle, Sam Gavit were putting up hay.
Gavit was riding the hay wagon in his farm located a mile south of the Limerick school house, when the tongue of the rack broke. He threw himself on the back of one of the horses to keep from being run over by the rack but the horse became frightened, threw him and started to run. As the horse started to run the rack bounded into the air and came down on top of Gavit, injuring his back.
Taken to St. Lawrence Hospital, xray pictures were taken of his back which showed that it was broken. Gavit had just recently recovered from an automobile accident about two years in which he sustained several fractured bones.

[The following undated story was apparently from the Lansing State Journal, approximately 1965-6]
WOMAN PAINTS, HANGS PAPER
Also Finds Time to Quilt, Bake, Do Needlepoint
By Marge Waldo
Journal Special Writer
GRAND LEDGE -- You might say that Ethel Gavitt of Grand Ledge is twice as busy as a one-armed paper hanger -- she has two good arms.
Mrs. Gavitt, 61, once met, is not easily forgotten.
Thirty-seven years as a painter and paper-hanger have taken her into most homes in this area.
She also finds time to do needlepoint, make quilts, bake bread and rolls for her heighbors and lend a helping hand wherever needed.
Each Christmas she uses 50 pounds of flour baking bread and rolls for neighbors and friends.
This hearty, friendly woman sets a pace men her age would find difficult to follow. She worked from 7 1.m. to 5 p.m., six days a week until recently, when she started taking Saturday and Sunday off. She wastes no time smoking or coffee breaks, either.
Each morning Mrs. Gavitt loads her walk-boards and ladders into her '56 pickup-truck and takes off for work. Born in Lake Odessa, she still works there often, along with jobs contracted in Lansing and East Lansing, Eaton Rapids, Portland and Wacousta. She has also taken jobs as far away as Coldwater, West Branch, Grand Rapids and Detroit.
For four years she has done all decorating work for a Lansing real estate firm, even helping out with floor tiling, laying of carpent, and installing the wallboards.
Thirty-seven years ago, Mrs. Gavitt helped a local woman paper her house. But the other lady, who took in washings, had so much laundry she could not help, and Mrs. Gavitt did the job alone. It turned out so well, others heard about it and this word of mouth advertising started htis lady painter-paper hanger on her career. She bought an old Ford coupe to haul her equipment and began taking jobs.
Friends thought she would never succeed in a trade which, at that time, was well-filled by men. She worked hard and fast and made a point of being prompt and completing the job when she had promised.
She is on the road in blizzards, rain or heat, dressed in her white painters overalls, white blouse and sneakers. She still carries her boards and ladders upstairs and down, moves furniture, and asks no help of anyone. She can paper four rooms in a day, she says.
That her job has paid off is evident in the fact that she raised and educated her daughter, Mrs. Clarence (June) Tyler, built a $30,000 home a few years ago. Mr. Gavitt has for many years been incapacitated with a heart ailment.
Mrs. Gavitt plans to spend this winter in Florida, claiming she isn't going to do a lick of work, but she is taking a quilt to work on and friends bet she'll be helping someone to paint or paper before spring.
Next year, when she will be 62, she says she will be semi-retired and draw her social security, working only enough to stay under the earning limits of a retiree.

TWO YEAR OLD GIRL DROWNS IN CISTERN
Tragedy visits home of Mr. & Mrs. Gene Barry
Tragedy visited the home of Mr. & Mrs. Gene Barry who reside in Carlton township, near the Friend school last Friday afternoon when their daughter Joan Marie, aged 22 months was drowned in the cistern.
Joan and her sister, Norma Jean, 3, were playing together in the yard. Norma went into the hosue and told her mother "Joan cistern." Mrs. Barry hurried out and finding the cover off the cistern and not being able to see the child hurried down the road to summon help. Ben Cole and Arthur Yarger hurried to the home and the former succeeded in removing the body from the cistern. Efforts to revive the child were of no avail.
Coroner Dr. C. P. Lathrop and Sheriff Bera were called to the scene of the accident, in keeping with the law governing such deaths.
It was stated that a cement lid which usually covered the cistern had been removed because it ws necessary to draw out the water by means of a bucket and rope. In its place a piece of galvanized iron had been placed over the opening and a cream can put on top of it. However that afternoon Mr. Barry had removed the cream can taking it to town with him, and the child had been able to remove the metal covering.
Surviving besides the parents and the three year old sister are twin sisters seven weeks old.

MOM
By David Stadel
Memories of mom, she loved her home. Dad designed and built the house, with her approval of course. The surrounding yard is huge with a proportionately large garden that we like to raid frequently. The lawn has almost four acres that gets mowed regularly, and is highlighted by roughly a thousand trees growing randomly throughout. Whenever a baby tree comes up, it gets staked out for visibility and is allowed to live. Mom always mowed in low gear, by the time she finished it was just about ready to start mowing again. She didn't mind, it was an excuse to be outside in the sun enjoying life.
Animals were her companions. Dad made her several bird feeders located conveniently near the livingroom window where she normally sat. About 50 yards farther back they kept a salt lick that attracted deer and rabbits. We gave her bird books and a pair of binoculars to better enjoy the wildlife. She always had dogs as companions and loved to go for walks down the dirt road with them. After I moved to Grand Rapids she adopted my dog Otis. I remember grandma informing me that I'd better forget the idea of getting Odie back because she was mom's baby now.
I always loved to cook for mom, lasagna was her favorite, though she craved most anything I whipped up. This is probably because I like to get carried away when I cook, and I normally use plenty of cheese. Fruit malts with honey and ice cream were a favorite at one time. Then it was deluxe omelettes, and after mom and dad got a microwave, NACHOES! She always kept a ton of nacho fixings on hand, just in case anyone wanted any, of course I never stopped over hungry.
Mom's sister and mother live only a mile away. She always did something with my aunt every week and chatted with grandma at least three times a day. We had family dinners at mom's house often. If we didn't have a special occasion we would create an excuse. At times we 've had an older person share these get-togethers and if they weren't able to get out we would sometimes deliver it to them. On Mothers Day we usually ate out at a place that had shrimp mom could order. We often got her a nonalcoholic strawberry daiquiri that she enjoyed. She claimed to have sipped a couple of different alcoholic drinks early in life, but she didn't like them and had no desire to drink them anyway. Her vices ran more to good food. I remember throwing something in their trash can once and seeing at least a dozen empty jars of hot fudge toppings inside, her sweet tooth must of acted up.
It was extremely rare to hear mom and dad argue with any conviction. One rare time I remember was on her last Christmas. Dad was cooking and managed to melt a pot holder on the electric burner. It stank pretty bad by the time we realized what had happened. After scraping on it, he decided to burn the rest of it off (just before everybody arrived). It seems when she did get upset with him she had good reasons. He also had a habit of getting too carried away helping people. Such as volunteering to do little projects that ended up taking weeks to finish. Those were things that sometimes bothered her a bit.
We have a very close family and mom always loved getting us together, especially when she could see her grand kids. She would often wear herself out playing with them. She thought nothing of it, even when it would take several days for her to get her strength back. Anyone who was ever a part of our family always remained a member and was thought of and loved by mom. I respect how mom accepted other peoples vices, faults, and problems. She didn't judge us but instead she gave us her love and prayers. We all got great joy out of making her happy. Dad constantly lived the philosophy and used the term "that would make your mother happy." Christmas time was special for her. Usually the gifts we gave them were supposed to be for both mom and dad, but it was always intended for mom. Dads always have too many toys anyway.
Mom's moral and religious faith have always been rock solid. Sometimes people would do things that upset her, but she never got mad at them and always had love ready to hand out. We put her through some major trials as kids, and usually I was the worst. She told me at times that she loved me, but didn't like me very much. Somehow I made it past those stage and in the recent years, to my embarrassment, she often told me how proud she was of me. When I finally went back to school and finished my associate degree it made her very happy, she had given me plenty of encouragement. Mom always claimed I was a lot like dad, probably from my patience in doing things and in my learning abilities. I feel that I got a lot of sensitivity from her, and I wouldn't trade that for anything.
There were many parts of mom's life I only caught glimpses of. She had complete acceptance of God's will and balanced that with her faith in the power of prayer. One of her church functions was her prayer group. They each had contact people and kept up to date on people so they could all be praying for those who needed it while they were going through hard times. When mom's physical strength started failing her, the ladies would meet at her house so that she wouldn't miss out on their prayer sessions. I can't really grasp the depth of her faith or the number of people she prayed so often for. What's equally amazing was the people who knew of her battle and sent up constant prayers for her.
When she passed away, these ladies of her prayer group carried her at her funeral. Thus in all ways they supported and gave her forth to meet her rewards one last time as they had so many times helped to lift her spiritually when she was in need. Mom accepted her fate, and the only things I heard her complain about was from the physical side effects that her treatments made her endure. She used the time she had left to be with her family and friends and to help others. Her one main goal in life was to help us kids to accept the Lord. This was something she never pushed, but she would talk of Him and offer guidance and prayers for us. She left it to God's will and ours.
When her body started failing we all were at her side, friends and family in her home to the end. Everyone was relieved that she could spend her last days at home surrounded by love. Her friends were many and their strength was leaned on often. Someone was always with her. We talked to her, prayed, held her, took care of her and laid beside her. Sometimes it seemed almost impossible to have an opportunity to be alone with her. We managed and everyone had lots of time to talk to her and tell her many things. Some women left their family for days to stay by her side. I know none of them would have traded a second of that time for anything.
In the last week Mom needed morphine for the pain and was distant often. She would look out with eyes wide open. I wondered if she was looking at scenes of her past or perhaps looking out beyond our world. On mom's last Sunday she was talking to dad and he told her that Joyce was in the kitchen getting ready to make jello. Joyce has told people that she hates to cook, and her exploits in the kitchen are infamous. When dad told mom Joyce was cooking, mom perked up, smiled and replied, "my worst fear, Joyce's cooking."
Mom had visions of a few times while someone was with her. It was of her grandmother, mom was talking to her as she was baking bread and preparing for company that was soon to arrive. The other two visions were of Jesus. Joyce was with her when mom came to and asked Joyce if she saw him. Joyce replied, "see who?" Mom said, "Jesus, He's standing at the foot ot the bed." When Joyce asked her why she didn't go with Him. Mom replied, "He didn't ask me yet."
Some of the people who shared these special moments with us said things that helped me see into her life. Her preacher George told of their frequent talks. Sometimes he would call mom to help boost her spirits. By the time they finished she had lifted him and imbibed him with faith and he knew he was fulfilling his mission of bringing Jesus's love and joy into the hearts of his people.
One of the ladies who spent much time with mom told how she thought of mom as a very close sister. She said the spiritual bond she had with mom brought her much closer than the bond she had with her blood sister. Several people mentioned how the numerous conversations and letters of encouragement from mom had greatly helped them in their problems. Hearing this I started realizing how many people had been touched by mom and how much she meant to each of them.
The chemotherapy she took was very hard on her, she was taking three different treatments simultaneously. The pain, nausea and weakness she accepted. I think it was because it helped leave us all with some hope, even if it was just that she could stay with us a little longer. I want to continue on forever with my memories of her in hopes that others can feel a spark of her flame and I can forever relive her beauty. I have never been close to any other person that I felt was a true example of the faith and strength of Jesus.
In her last days I prayed for God to take her and to end her suffering. The night before she left us I lay at her side with her head resting on mine. I held her hands and talked into her ear to give her assurance that we would continue on the path she helped us start. That we would give each other strength and support when it was needed and that she should not be afraid to accept what was coming, it was now time for her to go and be with God.
The nurse was afraid she would hemorrhage badly when she went, but that wasn't allowed. She survived that night and grandma came over in the morning. Gram held her and sang to her for twenty minutes before mom quietly slipped away. Later we found that she had laid out all the plans for her funeral and had them kept in her Bible. She had planned verses and songs with comments of what they meant to her. It was obvious that they had been written down a little at a time and were added to whenever she found something with personal meaning.
The funeral was huge and very special, I didn't ever want it to end. The things talked of and sung were powerful and I just sat with my eyes closed. Later when we arrived at the cemetery it was warm and raining. After the prayers were said, the sun blossomed and the day began to glow as we said our last goodbyes to her. I pray to some day meet her again. For now I thank God that in these last years I was able to grow enough to open my eyes and realize how special she was and how much I love her.
Dad found the following words in her Bible, they were written by a minister who also lost the battle to cancer. They hit a major note with me and I felt they summed up a big part of mom.
What Cancer Can't Do
Cancer is so limited,
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot eat away peace,
It cannot destroy confidence,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot shut out memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot reduce Eternal Life,
It cannot quench the Spirit,
It cannot lessen the power of the Resurrection.
Mom was a living testimony to those words. Goodbye Mom, I love you. Dave

MY DAD
By Daryl Stadel
Comp I, 3rd Hour
Robert Lewis Stadel was born on November 28, 1938, in *Pennock Hospital in Hastings, Michigan. His parents are Maude L. Stadel and Roy E. Stadel.
As a boy, he lived on a farm north of Hastings on Messer Road, with his three [should be two] older brothers and two older sisters, his mother, father, and a hired man. In the summer time his grandparents would live there for two weeks at a time.
He and his brothers had their share of chores to do around the farm, such as cutting wood, feeding the animals, milking the cows, helping to plow the fields, and helping to plant and havest the crops. Robert also had a strawberry patch that was an acre in size. It was his responsibility to keep up the patch and to help pick them when they were ripe.
As a child he had his share of injuries and illnesses. He had the chicken pox, the mumps, the measles, and all of the other illnesses a child receives, such as colds.
When he was ice skating, he broke both of his ankles. After waiting three months for walking casts, he got them in May and fell down his stairs, rebreaking both of them [teacher's note--He sounds like a walking disaster!]
Also, when he was trying to climb on a tractor that one of his sisters was driving, he fell and the tractor went on top of him, breaking several ribs.
He started school when he was six and he went to the old Fish school until he was in ninth grade. When he was in high school, he played on the football team. Also when he was in high school, he met Carol Jean Myers, and he started to date her in between playing football and doing homework.
After graduating third in a class of thirty-eight in 1956, he married Carol and joined the Army, giving up a scholarship to Michigan State for football.
When he joined the Army he received his basic training at Fort Hood, Texas. In his training he had rigorous workouts, running five miles in the morning and again at night, running the obstacle course, and target practice at the rifle range. Also, he received training for actual combat and had to go through a gas chamber with a gas mask on. He went in only to find out that his gas mask leaked, and he became sick from the fumes.
After his basic training, he took advanced training at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. At this training camp he received engineering and construction training for draftsmen. He then went to work for the combat engineers. After his training, he went to Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and was a draftsman. It was here that he helped design the first train action firing range that simulated combat action.
After three months, he was put on a troop carrier that was bound for Japan with 2700 other men, while Carol flew over in an airplane. On the ship, the men started to play poker for the term of duty on the ship. They played for twenty-eight days, and the winner, who was a man from Chicago, won over two hundred thousand dollars. [Teacher's note--He must have been some player.] Upon reaching Japan, he was stationed at Camp Zama, which was located about forty miles from Tokyo. In Camp Zama, he used a Leroy set, making organization charts and drafts.
Robert won medals and awards for marksmanship on the rifle range, and he achieved the rank of S.P.3, which is the equivalent of a corporal. Towards the end of his three year term, he developed bleeding ulcers and was sent to Walter Reed hospital in Washington, D.C. Carol, at about the same time, was in Fort Mead, Maryland, and gave birth to Debra Jean on August 17, 1958. Robert was stationed at Walter Reed for the remainder of his Army term. He was discharged from the Army on May 5, 1959, three months early, to help out on his childhood farm.
After the three months, he got a job at E. W. Bliss in Hastings, as a vertical mill operator. On August 11, 1959, Carol had Douglas Murray at Pennock hospital in Hastings, Michigan.
In 1960, he got another job as a hydromatic mill operator, and in 1961, he moved to a vertical mill operator in the toll room. On November 7, 1961, Carol gave birth to David Glenn at Hastings, Michigan.
In 1963, Robert was promoted to a supervisor foreman. And in 1968, he was promoted to Industrial Engineer and started to go to night school at Kellogg Community College.
On May 14, 1964, Carol had her last child at Pennock hospital, Hastings, Michigan. His name was Daryl Dean.
In 1968, Robert and Carol bought five acres of land on the corner of Brown and Wellman roads, in hopes of building a house. In the same year, he and his family planted five hundred pine trees on the lot.
In 1976, he graduated from K.C.C., the same year Debbie graduated from Lakewood High School.
On May 5, 1978, he started building his house, with help from his three boys, and from Leroy Thomas and builders. They finished it the day before Thanksgiving and were moved into it the same day.

FIRE DESTROYS LARGE BARN, 47 PIGS, TOOLS
Expanding gasoline spraying out of a tractor gas tank caused a fire which destroyed the large barn, pigs, two tractors and other tools on the Donald Haskins farm at 6787 Jordan Road, Woodland, Thursday afternoon, April 27.
The total loss was not immediaely estimated, but the loss of the large International tractor and plow alone was figured at $5,000.
Also lost were five sows and 42 little pigs, another smaller ----son tractor, a hay baler, ----culler, antique buggy, four kids' bikes, the air compressor for the milker, tool boxes and many other tools, 200 bales of hay, 160 bales of straw and some chopped hay, Haskins said.
Haskins said he drove his tractor into the barn and noticed the fuel tank was leaking gas. He unscrewed the fuel tank cap and the gas, under pressure, squirted out and onto the hot engine and muffler, and ignited.
Don was singed and the barn burned to the ground in 45 minutes or an hour, but was still smoldering Friday.
Two Woodland firemen were burned. Harold Brown suffered a burned arm and Darwin McClelland, Jr. a burned back.
The barn was 36 by 55 feet and the silo, also lost, was 12 by 35.

--------------------------------
Debra Eddy
Eaton County Genealogical Society Recording Secretary
February 1995
I am the oldest child and only daughter of Bob and Carol (Myers) Stadel. My parents were stationed in Japan in the Army when I was conceived. While in Japan my dad developed bleeding ulcers and had to be shipped back to the States, where I was born a short time later at Fort George Meade, Maryland. After he was discharged, we went back to the area they had always lived near, Woodland, Michigan. I grew up in a two-story house at 148 North State Street.
I have three younger brothers. Doug is six days short of a year younger than me; David three years younger, and Daryl five years younger. We all attended elementary and junior high school in Woodland, then graduated from Lakewood High School. I graduated with honors in 1976.
I was married on January 30, 1977 to Bruce Eddy, who lived with his oldest sister's family down the street from us. Our wedding was supposed to be on Saturday, January 29th, but had to be postponed until the following afternoon because of a big snowstorm. Bruce is a 1970 graduate of Lakewood High School and is employed by General Motors in Lansing as an electronic technician.
In June 1976, I was hired by the State of Michigan as a stenographer-clerk in the Department of State's Bureau of Field Services, at the Secondary Complex near Dimondale. I worked in the steno pool nearly a year then became a division director's secretary. I held that position almost five years, until the February before our older son, Eric was born on April 17, 1982. In order to have return rights as a State employee, I would have had to return within three years. Our younger son, Mark, born March 13, 1984, would have been only a year old, so I chose not return to State employment.
In 1990-91, after Mark was in school all day, I worked in a six-month temporary job in the Treasury Building in Lansing . After that position ended, I worked for three years as a secretary substitute for Charlotte Public Schools. In January 1995 I was hired as a part-time attendance secretary at the Charlotte High School, where I work 10:30 to 4:00 each day.
When I was a girl, I spent a lot of time with my Grandma Stadel. She told many wonderful stories of her past, which fully captured my interest. I remember thinking this was such good stuff, somebody should write it down, never dreaming that person would one day be me . Once I began in earnest, there was no turning back. My hobby has escalated into a full-blown addiction! Numerous family lines have been traced to New England, England and Germany; one line even goes back to English royalty. I love genealogy and firmly believe it is something I was meant to do. Without it, my life would never be completely fulfilled.
I attend the Shepherd Street Church of the Brethren in Charlotte. Besides genealogy, my hobbies are knitting, which I learned in 4-H when I was nine years old, and love equally as much as genealogy, collecting antiques, teddy bears and dolls, advertising tins, cookbooks and knitting patterns, especially knitted lace.

She married Glenn DESGRANGES, May 1991 in Lake Odessa, Ionia Co, MI. Born in Lake Odessa, Ionia Co, MI. Occupation Former Lake Odessa Police Chief. Education Graduated From Lake Odessa High School.
Lake Odessa Police Chief Glenn Darrell Desgranges has retired after 31 years of active service to the Village of Lake Odessa, but his numerous gifts assure that he will remain a part of the community for many years to come.
Desgranges was born in Lake Odessa and raised in a family that included seven brothers and four sisters, all still living in Michigan but one, Lavon, who died two years ago.
A hometown boy, he graduated from Lake Odessa High School and began a career in law enforcement at the age of 23.
He attended the West Michgian Police Offices Basic Training Program and numerous other training programs while working for the Ionia Police Department and as an outside deputy for Odessa Township for 12 years.
He joined the Lake Odessa police force in February 1961 and worked part time for his brother-in-law and sister, Forrest and Laura Haney, in their service station and store.
Following Cloyd King and then Jack Gardner, Desgranges was appointed chief in the late 1960s.
Married to Dolores "Dee" Kloss, Desgranges has three sons, Darrell Glenn of Ionia, Douglas Abbott of Kalamazoo and Todd Michael of Stuart, Florida and a daughter, Laurie Dee of Lake ODessa. He also has five grandchioldren.
A member of the Marine COrp Reserves, Desgranges was honorably discharged in 1963, having served eight years while being stationed in South Carolina some of the time.
After his first wife died, he married Jude Haskins in May 199l.
Not one to sit around in his spare time, Desgranges has been involved in a number of projects in and around Lake Odessa.
He engineered building several homes, including his own, built of recyclable materials. The homes have a stamp that is specifically his own.
But his most memorable gift to the Lakewood area is the small, 10 feet by 20 feet "Chapel on the Jordan," his tribute to veterans of the armed services.
The chapel project was launched in 1991, with the oney for the land on M-50 donated by Charles Moe Sr., in memory of Charles Moe Jr., who died fighting for his country.
Many others in the area felt privileged to contribute to the special memorial, donating their time and financing. The special tribute was completed in 1982.
With his continued interest in building with stone and architecture, Desgranges, who has Russian ancestry, made a trip to Russia in October 1985 with a group of 50 police chiefs and lawyers fromt he United States.
It was the firs such group to tour the U.S.S.R. and the trip gave Desgranges the opportunity to view numerous Russian monuments and architectural structures.
Eight years ago, Desgranges had bypass surgery, recovering to resume his job as chief of police.
On New Year's Eve 1991, he was hospitalized for heart problems once agian and he had a pacemaker installed in March. He has been on official leave from duties as chief since that time.
Michael Struve was appointed chief of police by the Village Council Nov. 1 and Desgranges officially retired.
"Glenn is a very compassionate man who loves people," says John French, village manager. "He has worked with four generations of Lake Odessa residents during his service to the village.
"He has always been willing to work with everyone and knows most of the people by name. We miss him around here. He is a fantastic investigator, very good at playing hunches. He definitely brought a dimension to the LOPD that is irreplaceable."
Lakewood School Acting Superintendent Steve Secor also has had the privilege of working with Desgranges for a long time.
"Glenn has been a good, small town chief of police, doing an excellent job with the youth in our community," says Secor who worked with Desgranges both as a council trustee and as council president.
The village plans to honor Desgranges' many years of service.

My favorite cousin is Eric Eddy. Eric is thin and doesn't try to talk like anyone else. He loves playing with G. I. Joes, legos, and Atari. Eric always has spiked or buzzed hair. His blue eyes seem to sparkle whenever we play together. The only job he has is having fun in life. To Eric, life is a mission of adventure that everyone must face. Most of the time he is happy. I'm glad I'm his cousin. Brandon Eddy

MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY
By Mark Eddy
March 14, 1994
My name is Mark Eddy. I am ten years old. I was born in Lansing, Michigan, on March 13, 1984. My dad and mom are Bruce and Debbie (Stadel) Eddy. Dad works at General Motors in Lansing. He is an electronic technician. Mom does secretary sub work for Charlotte schools.
My brother, Eric is two years older than me. We have bunk beds in the same room. I sleep on top until my birthday, then we switch for a year or until we agree to change places.
When I was two I loved to play with my backhoe and trucks in the driveway. I also liked to watch our neighbor, Elwin come and go in his semi-truck. It made a loud booming noise and always woke me up. He has traded his truck twice. One time he gave Eric and me a ride. He let me beep the horn sometimes.
When I was three Dad built us a big sandbox so we could play with lots of toys in the sand, and not in the driveway.
When I was about three our cat, Pepper had four kittens. We named our favorite ones Pickle and Howell. We only kept Howell, who ran away later.
When I was four we put together a big wooden swing set with a crow's nest on top.
I liked to ride on our neighbor's horses, Ikes and Toby when I was four. We like to swim in their swimming pool sometimes.
Late in the summer of 1988, I broke my collar bone when I fell off the merry-go-round at the park in Lake Odessa. I had to wear a brace for six weeks.
I like to go across the road into Tom's woods, where I pretend I am hunting. When I was four I got some camouflage clothes for Christmas, which I really liked. When I was seven I got my first real bow and arrow. I bought it on vacation in Wisconsin for $4 in an antique mall. Jason Peek's brother, Aaron broke it and had to pay for it. I have two real bow and arrows now, one compound and one fiberglass. Someday I want to go hunting. I practice target shooting sometimes, three times a week.
When I was four I had 18 kids over. That was my favorite birthday party.
I liked Mr. Trombone [Mr. T] who came to Mrs. Yates' second grade class. His friend drew me a picture of a bald eagle. I like to draw too. Some of the things I like drawing are farm barns, animals, airplanes and military sites.
We had three cats, Sampson who is a big black cat; Sammy who was gray-striped, and Muffy who is gray-striped, too. We found Muffy and three other kittens by the road a year ago last fall. We named them Midnight, Bulls-eye, Goldie and Muffy. We already had two cats, so we couldn't keep the rest of them. We were sad because we really liked them.
This fall Sammy was shot and killed by a stupid teenage hunter in the woods across the road. He bragged about it on the bus and that made me very sad. A few weeks later we got Rascal, who is a rascal. Dad got him from a tire shop in Lake Odessa. Rascal tears up the house now and has a lot of fun with his toy mice. He flings them in the air and then runs to get them. Sometimes Rascal watches TV, especially football and Atari. Whenever I play Super Football on the Atari, he bats at the players on the screen.
We got Huey hamster two summers ago. He is Eric's hamster. Huey's nickname is Hubert. Some day I want to have one of my own. Eric has to take care of him, and I sometimes do, because he doesn't clean his cage very often. I have to feed him once in a while because Eric is too lazy.
My favorite holiday is Christmas because I get to open a lot of presents. My favorite Christmas was when I got my three-foot long firetruck which makes siren and horn sounds and has lights that flash. The cats like Christmas too, because they get to play with all the present wrappings.
When I was three to seven years old, Grandma read me stories every time I came over. She died two summers ago in August. That's when we got Huey hamster. I really miss her.
I collect football and baseball cards. I must have 2005 cards by now. I also have four radios and about 30 firetrucks.
I have 45 GI Joe's. Eric and I made a snow mountain and played GI Joe's in the snow several times this winter. We made caves and trails, and I used the grappling hooks for the Joes to climb the mountain side.
Eric and I play Pirate Legos with the Lego men. We both got a 925 piece "Skull's Eye Schooner," for Christmas this year. We also have a lot of other Legos, mostly Eric's. He has about 7000.
Two summers ago I played in a baseball league and won a trophy because our team's record was 12-0. This past summer I played in the Field of Dreams baseball league. We got a trophy for doing almost nothing.
This summer I went to a Detroit Tigers baseball game. When Cecil Fielder fell, the thunder made a loud boom at the very same time. Everybody in Tigers' Stadium laughed.
We went to Chicago, Indiana, Wisconsin, and the Upper Peninsula this past summer. My favorite place to eat is Geri's Hamburgers in Janesville, Wisconsin. They have great food! I went on a tour of a copper mine, and got a scalpel knife necklace and we got some copper and polished stones.
I like to climb rocks and build rock forts at a special roadside park on Lake Superior near Eagle Harbor. We climbed rocks at a waterfall in Quinnesec in the Upper Peninsula, near Iron Mountain. That is one of our favorite places to go. They used to have an old bridge going over the waterfall, but it's not there any more. One time I almost lost my way trying to find my way back. One time I was about thirty yards above the ground.
My friends' names are Jason Peek, Travis Carpenter, Angela, Andrea and Arica Ackerson. I do not like Aaron Peek because he broke my bow and he is mean.
When I grow up, I want to be a football player. I want to play wide-receiver or running back or kick return for the Detroit Lions. I practice football with four kids my own age at school against ten second graders.
I want to build a good world. I don't want any trash and pollution. Someday I might want to go diving in lakes and oceans, but not where sharks are.
