In the year 1H20 a ateady stream of immigration was flowing into the territory of Michigan. The ever restless people of the ea<>t had heard wonderful stories of the abundance of game and great fertility of soil to l>e found in the new territory, and the sturdy, adventuresome farmers of rooky New England were pushing their way westward, with the hope of finding the El Dorado of their dreams. Detroit, at this time, was a sight to behold. Its streets were thronged with the covered wagons of the immigrants. Hunters and Indians, half breeds and soldiers were mingled in a chaotic mass.

The young mother, wild with grief, pressed the form of her darling to her breast, moaning and saying over and over again, “Baby is dead!” She refused to let her husband j take the liftla one from her.

into her husband's arms.
