Home Tor Old Ladies and the Nhndrcn.e nome
Society Of Upper Michigan.
The Copper Country News says last
week Mrs. Harlow declared her intention
TO Rev. Il. A. Holtzhausen OF donating
three acres OF land for the purpose OF
having built thereon home for old
ladies and the Childrens Home Society
OF Upper Michigan. The site rs mag
nificent one. The whole surrounding
country is charming and the view most
extensive. From its lofty summit the
eyes rest upon low plain, skirting
quite shapoly the rising mound, with ele-
waited ground covered with trees rising
from il in every direction. Two miles
east large part OF the city OF Marquette
with its many church spires and noted
public buildings are seen; and beyond the
trees and the city, the great lake in it's
full sweep with Pressure Island rising out
OF il is visible.
Another very pleasing and profitable
feature OF the site is the water fall, the
sounding OF which makes music summer
and winter. The fall is from fifteen to
twenty feet high, and will be utilized TO
serve the home with an abundant supply
of fresh, pure spring water. The swiftly
flowing brook making its way across the
entire site will, no doubt, be enjoyed by
old and young. This delightful spot Mrs.
Harlow has donated in memory of her
mother, Mrs. Bacon, who lived for many
years in the house which is still standing
on the old homestead.
The donar is certainly TO be congratu-
lated on giving this beautiful site, and
having an institution erected ON ner
large property which will stand ms a
monument OF noble generosity, an orna-
ment adjoining TO our glorious christian
ity, and perpetual token OF good will
TO men" for the coming ages.
The idea OF building home for old
ladies OF the upper peninsula originated
with Rev. +. A. IIoltzhauscn, who Il few
months ago organized the Upper Michi-
gan Children's Home society. During
the few months il has been in operation
twelve children have been cared for,
ranging in age from three weeks to
fourteen years old. Seven have been
sent TO good homes, and five are still
under the care OF the society ut 800
Front street, Marquette. The house
occupied by the society is quite pleasant
~ located in the central part Of the city,
having building 50x150 feet. The
rooms are MS conveniently arranged as
could be expected in private dwelling
