The Ohio Organ has the following account
Of the origin Of Ann Arbor, in letter from
that fourishing Michigan city

"Thirty years ago, two travellers, with their
wives and children, stopped at the spot where
Ann Arbor now stands, and concluded to re
main there for the night. The weather was hot
and sultry angry clouds swept along the sky,
and threatened rain, sudden and severe. Not a
house was visible, and in this emergency the
two men were compelled to do something to
protect their families from the peltings of the
pitiess storm. Accordingly they erected a
trail structure with the limbs of trees, over the
tops of which they spread a. few pieces of white
canvass, thus making handsome little arbor-
And as their good wives were both called Ann,
their husbands appropriately named their little
retreat Ann Arbor. Thirty years have since
rolled by, and the city of Ann Arbor now mark 8
the spot where the weary travellers sought safe.
