GRANDFATHER OF
LOCAL WOMAN SAW
COMET IN 1885
Louis Wuesthoff, Grandparent
of Mrs, ], ], SteyskeI, View
ed Phenomenon in Germany
IS Years Ago.,

The Detroit News" of several days
ago contains a photograph of Mr..
Louis Wuesthoff. grandfather of Mrs.
Julian j.. Steyskel of Albuquerque, to-
gether with an interesting article in
which the old gentleman tells how he
saw Halley's comet in Germany on its
former visit seventy-five years ago.
Mr.. Wuesthoff is 90 years old and still
hale and hearty. An extract from the
article in the News follows:
when Halley's comet made the
turn that brought it within tickilsh
proximity to the earth seventy-five
years ago at least one man, low liv-
ing in Detroit. 90 years of age and
living with his son. Ernest Wuesthoff,
at SOL st. Aubin venue when a lad
of IL years, was a victim of the same
temptations and superstitious fears
that held the whole civilized world in
their grasp for a short. distressing
period. 1t was the occasion for one
of the greatest religious revivals the
world has ever known, he says and
people lived in dread hat the world
was to come to an end.
Louis Wuesthoff is one of Detroit's
earliest settlers. He came to America
when 1t was young from Mecklenberg-
Schwerin, Germany, and made his way
to Michigan. According to Mr.. Wuest-
hoff all Europe was possessed with
the fcar that the universe vas about
to be cast into chaotic disorder and
darkness. A surprising feature of the
public's attitude toward the threaten
ing monster of the heavens was that
everyone laid up a mammoth store OF
groceries and food supplies.
ut may be that they expected the
earth would survive the crash with
the comet and that the surface would
only be scared and burned by the
fiery tail of the comet, said Mr.
Wuesthoff.
