time there were only two white .amil-

When we wanted to go shopping In
those days the Indians used TO row US
across the river, for there was no
bridge across Grand River then. We
were the first white settlers around
here and guess / know nearly every
body in Kent and Ottawa Counties.
We cleared this place right out or the
woods, and during all our experience
we scarcely ever had oc' aston to call
a doctor. AS for me / never believed
much in doctors anyway and II was
after a good deal of objection on my
part that Peter called one when / was
sick five years ago. / cannot tell you
what / suffered after that sickness.
For two years L had to be assisted IN

for me to raise my foot step froTa
