Thanksgiving Day in the United States and grocery prices are high. I thought it
would be fun to look at grocery prices in November 1974. It was my Senior year
of high school. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The
above ad is from Merrifield's Market IGA in Harbor Beach, Michigan. Harbor
Beach had three grocery stores when I was in high school: IGA, A&P, and
Sandman's Market. Do you remember A&P and IGA's? A&P is no longer in
operation, but there are still IGA's. The only store in Harbor Beach now is
Sandman's. Sandman's is a locally owned market. It was the go-to store for deli
products. Their sliced lunch meat was a favorite of many people.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The
prices above are a bit lower than today. Turkeys from $.43 to $.59 per pound.
Do you want duck for Thanksgiving? It was $.89 per pound. How about white bread
at 3/$1? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">What
else do you need for dinner? Green beans for your green bean casserole were
$.29, cranberry sauce $.25, tea dinner rolls 3 for $1, pumpkin for your pie was
$.33. You don't like to bake your own pies; you could buy a frozen Banquet pie
for $.39. And don't forget the Alka Seltzer for $.49. Wow! I sure could use some of these prices today. Look at the price of
butter-85 cents.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I am
sure my mom had a grocery list with a lot of these items for our Turkey Day
that year. It has been fun to look back on 1974 grocery prices.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Disclosures:</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This blog posts used the assistance of

by Marie, was the daughter of Otto and Daisy (Graf) Fredricks. She was born 13
November 1921, probably at the family farm in Dickson Township, Manistee,
Michigan.</span></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">When Marie was eighteen years old,
she married Leo Sandberg, age twenty-one, on 23 November 1939 at the Trinity
Lutheran Church Parsonage in Onekama, Michigan. It was Thanksgiving Day. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Leo and Marie Sandberg had one
daughter, Rose Marie. They lived at 267 Christingdon Street, Manistee,
Michigan. Leo worked in a hotel in Manistee. Marie worked in a restaurant in
downtown Manistee. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">A divorce record can be found
at ancestry.com in Michigan, Divorce Records, 1897-1952. The divorce decree
date was 27 Feb 1943, state file number 51 408; docket number 2558. The divorce
was granted to Leo and the record states it was contested. The reason for the
divorce was cruelty. No alimony was granted. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
</p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The custody of Rose Marie, age
two, was granted to Leo. When Rose Marie was a young girl, she went to live

I met Greg Sumner at the Battle Creek Barnes and Noble and shared what I knew about the POW's held at Fort Custer. I had written a couple of blog posts about the <a href="https://www.journeytothepastblog.com/2010/09/military-monday-german-prisoners-of-war.html">POWs</a> and their <a href="https://www.journeytothepastblog.com/2010/07/tombstone-tuesday-german-pows.html">graves at the Fort Custer National Cemetery</a>. I shared what pictures I had with him. I received no compensation for my information or for this review.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The book that resulted from Sumner's research, <i>Michigan POW Camps in World War II</i>, is a great look at a little-known subject during World War II. Sumner spent days travelling throughout Michigan visiting and meeting with the people who had a connection to Prisoner of War camps. He talked to people who owned farms where the prisoners had worked. He talked to museum organizers. He visited many of the places that had a history with the German prisoners and camps. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">His book is informative and filled with stories, photographs, maps, and more from his travels. Each chapter engrosses the reader in what being a prisoner in Michigan was like. He talks about the relationship the community had with the prisoners. Sumner uses interviews, newspaper articles, historical facts, and more to tell the story. He uses resources that tell the story from the prisoners and community viewpoint. Be sure to read about the Owosso "conspiracy" and the Blissfield 16, both are excellently written sections.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Sumner's book is professionally researched and a welcome addition to the history of World War II in Michigan. If you would like to read a story from a prisoner of war who was held in the United States, check out Ernst Floeter's <a href="https://www.journeytothepastblog.com/2014/11/book-review-ill-see-you-again-lady.html"><i>"I'll See You Again, Lady Liberty."</i></a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I had an interest in the German POW's because of the section of the Fort Custer National Cemetery where some prisoners were interred. Upon writing about it on my blog, I would get emails from people who had a connection to those prisoners, many from Germany. Imagine my surprise when I got an email from a 'cousin' who I had been communicating with about our common Fredrich family and he told me his father was at Fort Custer as a prisoner, talk about a small world. Of course, I had to send him Sumner's book and everything I had about that time at Fort Custer. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">If you are looking for a great read about World War II and German and Italian prisoners of war kept in Michigan, then Gregory D. Sumner's</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">, <i>M</i></span><i style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">ichigan POW Camps in World War II</i><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">, is the book for you. </span></p><p><br /> </p>Brenda Leyndykehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08530495186632931677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767071377527744755.post-31608843742041954882023-11-14T08:05:00.003-05:002023-11-14T08:05:00.145-05:00Death Certificates at Michiganology.org<p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The majority of death certificates
found at <a href="http://Michiganology.org">Michiganology.org</a> are
from 1897-1947. Due to Michigan law the records must be seventy-five years old
or older to be online. The years 1948-1952 have indexes, but no images. You
have to wait until January of the new year before next year's certificates are posted. January 2024 is when the 1948 death certificates will be posted. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p>

Using "table" is the only one that gives you last name, first name, and county information in the search results. I have found this to be successful for me. You can't refine the search. Other sort by options include type, first name, or place. If you aren't sure of the last name you can search by these other options. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">If you have ancestors who died in Michigan, check out the death certificates at Michiganology.

sad records. The obituary records that hit my generation are sad ones. For a
long time I was saving obituaries of the generation of my aunts and uncles.
Now, I am printing those of my generation. We are too young to die.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">John Tritten, my first cousin, was a wonderful man. I have fond memories of John from when my family would visit and stay at Aunt Kate's home. John was the son of Carl Tritten and Kathryn Fredricks Tritten. We were traveling when John died and I wasn't able to go to his funeral. I was thankful that I had seen John the previous year. I will remember him as being a kind, devoted, Christian son, husband, and father and that he shared a birthday with my son.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">John C. Tritten, 73, of Manistee, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Thursday Sept. 29, 2016 with his loving wife at his side.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">He was born on Jan. 6, 1943 in Manistee, the son of the late Carl and Kathryn (Fredricks) Tritten. He was united in marriage to Susanne Winkler on Dec. 27, 1969 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Onekama.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">John served in the U.S. Navy and was a former Township Supervisor in Dickson Township. John was retired, having worked for Martin Marietta for 36 years.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church of Manistee, where he was a past Elder, served on the Fellowship Board, and a member of the Dart Ball team. He was also a member of the American Legion Manistee Post No. 10 and the NRA. What he enjoyed the most was fishing, camping and spending time with his grandkids.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">John is survived by his wife Susie, by his children, Eric (Chris) Tritten, of Stow, Ohio; Heather (Jason) Youngstrom, of Denver, Colo.; Brian (Kimber) Tritten, of Paneswick, England, and Timothy Tritten, of Manistee; by nine grandchildren, Ricky, Katie, Libby, Ada, Josiah, Lucy, Ellen, Joseph and Isabella, and by his sister, Kathryn Welch of Barnsville, Ohio. He is also survived by his sisters and brothers-in-law, and by numerous nieces and nephews.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Funeral services for John will be held at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday Oct. 4 at Trinity Lutheran Church of Manistee with Rev. Dr. Eric Tritten and Rev. Dennis D. Rahn officiating. Burial will follow in Trinity Lutheran Cemetery. Military honors will be provided by the Manistee United Veterans Council Ritual Team. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Source: <a href="https://www.legacy.com/funeral-homes/obituaries/name/john-tritten-obituary?pid=181694352&v=batesville&view=guestbook">https://www.legacy.com/funeral-homes/obituaries/name/john-tritten-obituary?pid=181694352&v=batesville&view=guestbook</a></span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_KHs4Dg8iZMPifJN6gHmUw2p5MgRWQMwk-WQdCZnfhBNH6vVVB6QXgYpJzPuMT3BpWl74llIvIhyVb83aIeFkYYmIo7QtKohe3mFU4VZhmwDMfT-fkOY-DVhBkGgn2idvpQsilY4Y83psOpxvSMrrZ-HSQdVxelWsG466FIa8ffVf2KBvhLB2hgWZH9o/s1766/John%20Tritten%20(3).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1766" data-original-width="1042" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_KHs4Dg8iZMPifJN6gHmUw2p5MgRWQMwk-WQdCZnfhBNH6vVVB6QXgYpJzPuMT3BpWl74llIvIhyVb83aIeFkYYmIo7QtKohe3mFU4VZhmwDMfT-fkOY-DVhBkGgn2idvpQsilY4Y83psOpxvSMrrZ-HSQdVxelWsG466FIa8ffVf2KBvhLB2hgWZH9o/s320/John%20Tritten%20(3).JPG" width="189" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6jwEzxsuUrUiV3MU7kQBmBF1MnGA14Wya95vltyr5OwrQp2ZubbDkY_pQQk9You1hdgY47cjxv9tT5JNalDZWtIYZYWjrLyPtszzEri9_PgjK8zRCtx-_wybxIkJ9lkvyj6vpGuGJX8WybjJ5RLDgYWTn7dYo8Pci9f_hn09PZnf013yKPseDYxgZzbs/s1800/John%20Tritten%20(5).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6jwEzxsuUrUiV3MU7kQBmBF1MnGA14Wya95vltyr5OwrQp2ZubbDkY_pQQk9You1hdgY47cjxv9tT5JNalDZWtIYZYWjrLyPtszzEri9_PgjK8zRCtx-_wybxIkJ9lkvyj6vpGuGJX8WybjJ5RLDgYWTn7dYo8Pci9f_hn09PZnf013yKPseDYxgZzbs/s320/John%20Tritten%20(5).JPG" width="213" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrKnqUkJI-4e3Jh_brZ67ZqB0dJEOxQGa_fTOOOxNqnNOBdgIjXCrLXAg-yti-4GyxjDonOCjlFRmquibxuDYsZaymaZTCj9isgvAHs4_e9XAExx476y2assZ6JuzvFQlO93BG43CtSUMV6s7I3f1KLNmy6NJbhAHDxImBkNc2Zn4bIHCqOrAcmk_rE_s/s626/John%20Tritten%20(6).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="626" data-original-width="460" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrKnqUkJI-4e3Jh_brZ67ZqB0dJEOxQGa_fTOOOxNqnNOBdgIjXCrLXAg-yti-4GyxjDonOCjlFRmquibxuDYsZaymaZTCj9isgvAHs4_e9XAExx476y2assZ6JuzvFQlO93BG43CtSUMV6s7I3f1KLNmy6NJbhAHDxImBkNc2Zn4bIHCqOrAcmk_rE_s/s320/John%20Tritten%20(6).JPG" width="235" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">Pictures of John Tritten from Audrey Glover's (my mother) photo album.</p>Brenda Leyndykehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08530495186632931677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767071377527744755.post-17098017958027771632023-11-11T07:18:00.004-05:002023-11-11T07:18:00.137-05:00The Death of Myrta Fenn<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW4wS1I3iYd5gxWAbG_-_1pPOGyL4u95mQxX_LkxedFpZ1EguMTEyws1OBOfWlj6iE_925ZJ5EJ94ts01mzm06ez1-UHOPAmbfoxt1zgASOeET7m-C_vn01Le0QdbcUAFKhHMZsEmtr282_QtZzfLghzhKddf5IWOJGbK6AKxn6_feLbW5ZbRal9TS7jQ/s1628/Myrta%20Fenn%20Death%201945.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1548" data-original-width="1628" height="380" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW4wS1I3iYd5gxWAbG_-_1pPOGyL4u95mQxX_LkxedFpZ1EguMTEyws1OBOfWlj6iE_925ZJ5EJ94ts01mzm06ez1-UHOPAmbfoxt1zgASOeET7m-C_vn01Le0QdbcUAFKhHMZsEmtr282_QtZzfLghzhKddf5IWOJGbK6AKxn6_feLbW5ZbRal9TS7jQ/w400-h380/Myrta%20Fenn%20Death%201945.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> Source: <span style="text-align: left;">Michigan Department of Health, "Michigan, Death Certificates, 1921-1946," Index and Images, , </span><i style="text-align: left;">Michiganology</i><span style="text-align: left;"> (www.michiganology.org : accessed 5 September 2023), death certificate state file number 481 2126; 23 Jun 1945 for Myrta A.

there is something lower than a neophyte that would be me. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I know little about the
scientific method behind AI. I don't know about all the sophisticated uses of
AI, but I am a lifelong learner. I enjoy learning new things. I enjoy
researching current ideas and finding out how they can help me do my job
better. Work better, not harder. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I have used AI generators, like ChatGPT, for writing family stories and research help. What else can it do? I can see AI and AI generators becoming a powerful help when researching family history. Something I plan to try next with ChatGPT is historical county history. I have ancestors from the Colonial Period forward and during that time there were many boundary changes. I would like to delve into the boundary changes and land disputes between New York and Vermont. Another thing I want to try is to see if it will help me create a research plan. There are many ways ChatGPT can be a research assistance. I plan to continue exploring those options.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">AI generators are a big topic now. I am seeing more information
every day about AI and AI generators and their application to genealogy. If you are looking for people with more knowledge than I in this area,
look at these resources.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://aigenealogyinsights.com/author/digitalarchivst/">AI

I wondered how it could help me in family history blogging. I wrote a couple of blog posts about AI, family history, and blogging. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">One of the things I have been thinking about when writing these blog posts is how to let my readers know if, and when, I am using AI. I have cultivated a loyal reader base and I want to be transparent in my writing. It is important to have a disclosure statement to keep the trust of my readers.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">How did I write my disclosure statement about AI? I went to AI and ChatGPT! I asked ChatGPT to "<span style="color: #343541; white-space-collapse: preserve;">create examples of a disclosure statement for using AI when blogging."</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span><span style="color: #343541; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I got five examples, but none of those were quite right. </span></span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">One thing about ChatGPT is if you don't like what you see you can click a regenerate option and get more examples. I got ten new ideas which fit my use better. </span></span></p><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I used ideas from a couple of different examples to create my disclosure statement. I put my new AI specific disclosure statement on the right sidebar above my other disclosure statement. The bolded words are copied from ChatGPT 3.5 results.

on February 17, 1925, in Detroit, Michigan. He was raised in Hazel Park,
Michigan, where he attended Hazel Park High School. After graduating from high
school in 1943, </span></i><i><span style="background: rgb(252, 255, 1); color: #1f1f1f;">Glover
enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps. He served in World War II as a
radio operator and gunner on a B-24 Liberator bomber. After the war, Glover
returned to Hazel Park and worked as a sports editor for the Hazel Park
Journal. In 1950, he moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he worked as a
teacher.</span></i><i><span style="background: white; color: #1f1f1f;"> In
1952, he married Audrey Jane </span></i><i><span style="background: rgb(252, 255, 1); color: #1f1f1f;">Frederick</span></i><i><span style="background: white; color: #1f1f1f;">. The couple had </span></i><i><span style="background: rgb(252, 255, 1); color: #1f1f1f;">two</span></i><i><span style="background: white; color: #1f1f1f;"> children together.</span></i><span style="color: #1f1f1f;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .25in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .25in;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><i><span style="background: white; color: #1f1f1f;">Glover was a member of the Palms </span></i><i><span style="background: rgb(252, 255, 1); color: #1f1f1f;">United Methodist</span></i><i><span style="background: white; color: #1f1f1f;"> Church in Palms,
Michigan. </span></i><i><span style="background: rgb(252, 255, 1); color: #1f1f1f;">He
was also a member of the Kalamazoo Kiwanis Club</span></i><i><span style="background: white; color: #1f1f1f;">. In 1983, Glover
moved to Denton, Texas. He retired from teaching in 1990. </span></i><i><span style="background: rgb(252, 255, 1); color: #1f1f1f;">In 2003</span></i><i><span style="background: white; color: #1f1f1f;">, he moved back to
Kalamazoo. Glover died at his home in Portage, Michigan, on September 8, 2018,
at the age of 93.</span></i><span style="color: #1f1f1f;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .25in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .25in;"><span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">"Just the facts, ma'am", is my first observation.

</ul><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Some of the errors
in the story have to do with the gaps in my listing of facts in Roots Magic.
The AI generated story shows I need to clarify some things in my database. The
AI generated story is only going to be as good as the information given to it.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"> I am guessing here
because I don't know what sources Bard uses, probably Google search engine, but
AI generation finds online information (Palms Methodist Church, Kiwanis
Membership) and pulls it from the web into the story.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"> I wrote before about
AI generation not being perfect and I caution family history researchers to
analyze any results they get before posting it publicly. We have seen many
trees that are shared with erroneous information and people repeatedly keep sharing these trees.
Don't do this with stories. If you write using an AI generator inform your reader of this fact.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"> I tried out two AI
generation products, ChatGPT and Google Bard. These aren't the only ones that can
generate stories from a set of facts. I don't plan to try them all out, but you
may find one you like better than another. For now, I will play around with
ChatGPT, but it won't replace writing my own blog posts.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">For a list of AI generators for text, check out We are Developers, <a href="https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/best-ai-chatbots-chatgpt-and-other-alternatives">The Best AI Chatbots: ChatGPT and Other Alternatives</a>, article for a list of generators and their pros and cons. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;">AI and genealogy will be a good fit and I am looking forward to what the future brings in this area. </span></p><p>

I know very little about AI and this panel discussion was well done and had noted people in the fields of AI and Genealogy.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The panel participants were Facilitator, Eowyn the Elf, from <a href="https://www.wikitree.com/">Wiki Tree</a>; Drew Smith, <a href="https://genealogyguys.com/">The Genealogy Guys podcast</a> guru; <a href="https://www.danaleeds.com/the-leeds-method/">Dana Leeds</a>, genealogist and founder of the Leeds Method for DNA; <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/revstevelittle/">Steve Little</a>, AI program director for National Genealogical Society; <a href="https://genealogybargains.com/thomas-macentee/">Thomas MacEntee</a>, genealogist, educator, and founder of Genealogy Bargains; <a href="https://www.dnagedcom.com/DNAGedcomJamboree2018.pdf">Rob Warthen</a>, DNA gedcom developer; and Willie Williams, genealogy software developer of <a href="https://www.mori.co/">MORI</a>.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The discussion started out explaining what Artificial Intelligence (AI) is and segued into uses relating to genealogy, copyright and AI, ethical considerations, and more. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">One thing I learned is the difference what Artificial Intelligence is and what an AI generator is. Artificial intelligence is a computer that acts more like a human. It is the intelligence of machines as opposed to humans.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">An AI generator is a type of software that uses Artificial Intelligence for written copy. These are simplistic definitions, and the panel went into more scientific definitions, but this is what I understand it to mean. There are different AI generators, but the one people may have heard about is ChatGPT. There are AI generators for art, too.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">One thing the panel stressed is that AI is changing rapidly. What we see today will be totally different in a month. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I decided to see just what ChatGPT 3.5 could do for me. Could it write a story based on a number of given facts? The results blew me away. This was the process I used.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">First, I went to my Roots Magic Genealogy Software and created a Timeline (Chronology) List for my father, Bruce Glover. I chose the Individual timeline list. I could have selected other people to include, but I chose just my father. I clicked generate report.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Next, I saved my timeline in RTF (rich text format) to My Documents. I copied the Timeline and pasted it into ChatGPT 3.5. The timeline is below. </span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The facts generated in a timeline on Roots Magic are:</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Age<span> Date<span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> Fact/Place</span></span></span></b></p><p><span style="color: #343541; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">0 17 Feb 1925 Birth: Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, United States1

education began in Hazel Park, Oakland, Michigan, where he attended school from
1930 to 1936. Those early years in Hazel Park would lay the foundation for his
future endeavors.<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>

1943, Bruce embarked on a new chapter when he joined the military, enlisting in

Bruce were answering the call to serve their nation. It was a courageous step
for a young man, filled with dreams and aspirations.<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>

than just a soldier. In June 1943, he took on the role of a sports editor while
still stationed in Hazel Park. His love for sports and his writing skills
combined in a unique way, allowing him to share the stories of his fellow servicemen
and women</span>. It was during this time that he also graduated, marking an important
academic milestone.<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>

No. The highlighted sections about his military time needed correction. It is probably because of the way facts are recorded in Roots Magic. My father had to graduate high school before he entered the military. He went to basic training in the summer and never wrote about his military experience for the Hazel Park paper. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #343541; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">He never worked in Kalamazoo after the war. This fact was from his graduate school time in Kalamazoo. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #343541; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">I copied the story just the way it was written. Upon reading it, I saw gaps in my research and areas where I needed to write descriptions. One example was the highlighted "details of the event". I need to include that in the facts for that event. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #343541; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">I noticed I was missing facts. Where is the 1940 Census fact? It is in Roots Magic. Another one was a big gap from his time in Kalamazoo to his time in Denton, Texas. He had thirty years of teaching and coaching during these years. I haven't recorded it in Roots Magic.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #343541; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">This is one example how artificial intelligence can help with our research.

My great grandaunt, Louise Justina Glover Smith, was a patient for over fifty-two years, entering the hospital in 1899. Records from the Traverse City State Hospital are difficult to obtain. A court order by a family member is usually needed. The death certificate below tells a bit of Louise's story.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu7_WLfuE37-Z5LsUE4JumneMiy5F6Gl-LDoKcd8824mbxy8dT5-1Bs4ZRF19hT1kMGOiIeJrndrE9K8luf3ZDpbTC3vKWU5_Z9SMcYFexOJ6vukHJSUmFhTWtTo07bVlquaQQGc0fG3uweo7vIdOG4fgDxo4I-qomm5pQSUWPv7VoVb78R09O9jBeRgg/s3423/Louise%20Glover%20Smith%20Death%20Cert.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3423" data-original-width="2939" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu7_WLfuE37-Z5LsUE4JumneMiy5F6Gl-LDoKcd8824mbxy8dT5-1Bs4ZRF19hT1kMGOiIeJrndrE9K8luf3ZDpbTC3vKWU5_Z9SMcYFexOJ6vukHJSUmFhTWtTo07bVlquaQQGc0fG3uweo7vIdOG4fgDxo4I-qomm5pQSUWPv7VoVb78R09O9jBeRgg/w550-h640/Louise%20Glover%20Smith%20Death%20Cert.jpg" width="550" /></span></a></div><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Source:</b> Michigan Department of Health, "Michigan, Death Certificates, 1921-1946," Index and Images, local file number 154, <i><b><span style="color: tomato;">Michiganology</span></b></i> (www.michiganology.org : accessed online; Michigan Department of Community Health, Lansing).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Other research shows Louise Glover was born 22 July 1869 to Samuel Stillman Glover, Jr. and Adeline Dyer Glover. She lost a brother, Emerson, in 1873, and a sister, Emma, in 1874, when she was four and five years old.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">She married Frank H. Smith on 27 November 1870 and had four children, Roy, Alpheus, Dottelle, and Frank H. Smith, Jr. Researching Frank H. Smith Jr. may lead to a clue as to why Louise was admitted to the state hospital. Frank's death certificate shows that he died at the age of one of cerebral spinal meningitis. The date of Frank's death was <b>11 May 1899.</b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWlRGmJwxndDp72a9dY0SlB6c5azjbddEXF-c5AhtY2MsBq-4mv1kKwzIL1IH6YV6EUwViuhkZNOA_5wyl2_TpeP-NdIwVV9tMfd8dUX1sSS-c4cqJspoBMTYjMpXssHroQQerUlH7slVQwQUFm4yVDf-bb0EXf0CHCMXX_mM8ZLkdUz6gAxVaAItcte4/s2440/Laura%20or%20Louise%20Glover%20Smith.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2440" data-original-width="2016" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWlRGmJwxndDp72a9dY0SlB6c5azjbddEXF-c5AhtY2MsBq-4mv1kKwzIL1IH6YV6EUwViuhkZNOA_5wyl2_TpeP-NdIwVV9tMfd8dUX1sSS-c4cqJspoBMTYjMpXssHroQQerUlH7slVQwQUFm4yVDf-bb0EXf0CHCMXX_mM8ZLkdUz6gAxVaAItcte4/w528-h640/Laura%20or%20Louise%20Glover%20Smith.jpg" width="528" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Source:</b> Michigan Department of Health, "Michigan, Death Certificates, 1921-1946," Index and Images, registration number 81, <i><b><span style="color: tomato;">Michiganology</span></b></i> (www.michiganology.org : accessed online; Michigan Department of Community Health, Lansing).<br /></span><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Louise, age 30, was a young woman at the time of her son's death. I can imagine the grief was overwhelming to her. There weren't many options available during this time for grief counseling. While I don't know definitively that this is why she was admitted to the state hospital, I am guessing it was a contributory factor.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I found Louise in the United States Federal Census for the years 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930, 1940, and 1950. She was listed as an inmate, boarder, or patient at the state hospital in the census records. Her marital status was married and later widowed. I found Frank H. Smith's 1900 U.S. Census record where he was listed as widowed. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I shudder to think of what Louise's life was like at the state hospital. I read a book, <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Woman-They-Could-Not-Silence/dp/B08ZVGLZX3/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2NFR3461HCNHF&keywords=kate+moore&qid=1698168692&sprefix=kate+moore%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-1">The Woman They Could Not Silence: One Woman, Her Incredible Fight for Freedom, and the Men Who Tried to Make Her Disappear </a></i>by Kate Moore. It was about Elizabeth Packard's wrongful admittance to the Illinois asylum system in the 1860's. Granted the mental health system changed from the 1860's to the 1890's, due to Elizabeth Packard's fight, some of the procedures may have yet been in place.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">What caused Louise to be a patient for fifty-two years, two months, and sixteen days? Was it the death of her young son? She died on June 24, 1951, at the age of eighty-two. The cause of death was senility. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Other interesting facts on Louise's death certificate include that her body was removed to University Hospital, Ann Arbor, Michigan (University of Michigan) for dissecting. The state of Michigan passed an act in 1867 stating "authorizing the dissection in certain cases for the advancement of science," and provided for unclaimed bodies from state hospitals and prisons be sent to medical schools.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The <a href="https://medicine.umich.edu/dept/anatomical-sciences/anatomical-donations-program">University of Michigan</a> has <a href="https://medicine.umich.edu/dept/anatomical-sciences/anatomical-donations-program/memorial-service">three burial sites</a>: Washtenong Memorial Site, United Memorial Gardens, and Fairview Cemetery. Currently, a yearly memorial service is held for donor's families. Fairview Cemetery has burials from 1915-1963. I am guessing this is where Louise's remains are buried.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Frank Smith died in 1904 leaving three young children. Further research is needed to learn more about what happened to Louise's children. I know that all three lived to adulthood. I wonder what they knew about their mother and if any of them visited her in Traverse City. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Louise's death certificate filled in a few facts but it led to many questions. Ones that I hope to explore in the future. I have seen Louise's name as Louisa and as Laura.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I don't know what is sadder that Louise lost her son at the age of one or that she spent so many years in the state hospital or that her remains may have been unclaimed when she died. My hope is that she was treated well and lived the best life that she could given the circumstances.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Brenda Leyndykehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08530495186632931677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767071377527744755.post-78758873536460934972023-10-29T08:15:00.006-04:002023-10-29T08:15:00.145-04:00That's Aunt Jeannie to Me-Norma Jean Kaskinen<p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEispWgR2hZR4MG5gP80BHFFc2kGqW-6pFgdHzcsb5C1VnLoTffAVm4CWNKFNNf_JhaRRe0IODNHF7OkHDtR2v42WyJBL3hA6oUnXdZLmMjsw5InDg0seFDtYIrZTrJwx5IwWJWgIAPVzuTWqgyD_lT4ZGuREXIdqxGVFFs4uRi8QPMugGVkC-6MZsCQ_10/s1233/Norma%20Jean%20Fredricks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1233" data-original-width="877" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEispWgR2hZR4MG5gP80BHFFc2kGqW-6pFgdHzcsb5C1VnLoTffAVm4CWNKFNNf_JhaRRe0IODNHF7OkHDtR2v42WyJBL3hA6oUnXdZLmMjsw5InDg0seFDtYIrZTrJwx5IwWJWgIAPVzuTWqgyD_lT4ZGuREXIdqxGVFFs4uRi8QPMugGVkC-6MZsCQ_10/s320/Norma%20Jean%20Fredricks.jpg" width="228" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Norma Jean Fredricks 1934-2023</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Otto August Fredricks and Daisy Ellen (Graf) Fredricks had eleven children together.

Many people were still suffering from the stock market crash of 1929. The agricultural industry was suffering from a drought. Unemployment was high, families were hurting.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Emergency relief agencies were created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to help the unemployed as part of the New Deal. Roosevelt wanted to "put people to work."

Young, single men, ages 18 to 23, submitted applications through their local welfare offices. Veterans were encouraged to apply through the Veteran's Administration regional office. Any veteran could apply regardless of age or marital status. Selected men had to be in good physical condition and records are available to attest to this at the National Archives in St. Louis. Men worked forty hour weeks, five days a week. The men received $30, assistant leaders $36, and leaders $45 per month. A portion of their pay was sent home. The work the men performed varied depending on location. Some of the projects the men were involved in were reforestation, soil conservation, fish and wildlife aid, construction of recreational areas, emergency rescue, erecting telephone lines, constructing dams, and providing assistance to those affected by floods, blizzards, hurricanes, and forest fires. <sup><span style="line-height: 107%;"> </span></sup></span></p><p><span><sup><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; line-height: 107%;">The CCC newspapers are available online.

Only one person per household could work at any given time. Workers had to apply and be certified. They had to be at least 18 years of age. Work hours were 130 hours a month and no one could work more than 8 hours a day. Microfilmed records are available at the National Archives in St. Louis, but aren't as rich as the CCC ones. Projects varied but included things like building ski lodges, airports, schools, hospitals, public buildings, golf courses, zoos, campgrounds, the Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas. Some sewed clothing, made mattresses, grew medicinal herbs for pharmaceuticals, taught classes to children and adults, provided school lunches to malnourished children, delivered books by "packhorse libraries" to people in remote locations, and established electricity in rural locations.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span><sup><span style="line-height: 107%;"> </span></sup></span></span><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Genealogists are familiar with the Historical Records Survey conducted by WPA workers.

We have an excellent speaker, Michael Strauss, and the seminar is being offered in person and virtually.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Unfortunately, our attendance is down dramatically from previous years. It has led the MGC board to question what can be done in the future to make holding a seminar successful. No one wants to go to all the work and have a seminar lose money whether it is at the national, state, or local level. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">A recent planning session was held, and we discussed what could be the reason for this decline. More discussions need to be held, but I thought I would ask my readers what their thoughts are on this issue.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Is it the cost of attendance? We have an early bird price of $50. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Is the genealogy seminar attendees market tapped out? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Is our audience aging out? Do we need to entice a younger audience? How does one do that?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">What could be offered to make you want to attend a conference or seminar? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Why don't you attend a conference or seminar?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Is there too much competition from other webinars and seminars? The pandemic led to genealogical organizations pivoting to virtual and there is a plethora of options that are now available to genealogists. How do we get a piece of that pie?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">What questions am I not asking?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I would love to hear your thoughts on this issue. I don't think MGC is the only one dealing with this issue. If I am wrong, let me know. Please leave a comment.

selection "The Cut" is one I found interesting especially because it
takes place in northwestern Michigan. It is in Manistee County, Michigan, where
my Fredricks and Graf families settled.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The Cut tells the story of
two warring factions, the lumber industry, and the homesteaders. Two children,
one from each faction, meet and fall in love. Alvin, a farmer, and Lydia, the
daughter of an influential businessman, meet in 1870. The Cut tells their love
story woven between the historical events of the time. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The businessmen want to
build a dam powered sawmill. The sawmill affects the landowners’ farms and
floods them affecting their ability to make a living. Lawsuits are filed and
the reader gets a glimpse of what the farmers were dealing with at the time. A
lot of the book tells the contentiousness of the time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

center of the lumber industry in the area during this period. The story is
fiction with nonfiction history told. It is a great Michigan history read. The
characters are believable, and the story captures the reader's interest. History
is a bonus.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">What is the Cut? It is a
man-made channel that links Lake Michigan to the village of Onekama and Portage
Lake. The channel is the cut.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">My great grandfather, Johann August Fredricks, worked at a sawmill in Manistee saving his money to buy a farm. Having spent a lot of time
in the area visiting family and doing family history research led me to

from our Battle Creek home of forty years and move twenty-five miles away to Kalamazoo,
Michigan. Our plan was to sell the house and rent an apartment for a year and
look for a condo to buy. We thought we could get to know the Kalamazoo area
before we bought. Interest rates doubled and housing prices skyrocketed, and we
decided we would stay where we are for the time being. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The downsizing led to going through a lot of papers,
photographs, ephemera, and art projects from our children's life. I had saved most of the children's artwork. Kirsten and Travis had great art teachers
who did wonderful projects. </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I saved
the art projects in boxes made for artwork. I saved by age or grade level. I
had quite a few projects saved, and I wasn't going to move them. Kirsten and
Travis didn't want them, and I couldn't throw them out. I took photographs of
every project I had saved. I even had a few saved in my Halloween, Easter, and
Christmas decoration tubs. </span></p>

Shutterfly to help make the books. I chose a bright color scheme and laid the
photos out by grade. I had projects I made with the children before preschool,
preschool through elementary (6th grade). Kirsten took art in junior high and
high school, so her book included that. It was interesting when comparing
projects for the kids, that Kirsten had more projects. I have a feeling many of
Travis's sixth grade projects got lost on the way home from school. </span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYY1OrheawAnObZ8kSoD1e1IiuWHZmsyDbl4XTtsxXab3fTX56YfkxJnTujYre4asD8lKTiLrVXmsRHic_oq4pEs6av3FuaypSi8wwbGS0ihB8Tys42TAfKyj-3LqbLQsfKmDQYQuYqRuz8iU16sAnu7_2n_kQ30g4u9RLpxAMj89WynVZZevn366f9Uw/s383/Kirsten%202%20page%20junior%20high%20layout.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="161" data-original-width="383" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYY1OrheawAnObZ8kSoD1e1IiuWHZmsyDbl4XTtsxXab3fTX56YfkxJnTujYre4asD8lKTiLrVXmsRHic_oq4pEs6av3FuaypSi8wwbGS0ihB8Tys42TAfKyj-3LqbLQsfKmDQYQuYqRuz8iU16sAnu7_2n_kQ30g4u9RLpxAMj89WynVZZevn366f9Uw/w400-h169/Kirsten%202%20page%20junior%20high%20layout.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5qjgyC5v-i6yROr9vKebR8D720cLE9ZLASaIzwTosXQcAbHtXYzLOErMbidT1ubpcvnJsrY1uEOGsrTv6lt_t6fFTMHS_pp197xZQOdX0Q6HCSMKaWdMMzM_VHfM15pT-LMrlr_TzohHZzC6nYzdftlYo2kH5SWUnQY1T5JlbaqFYTyIz_IvvL7Rcj_s/s380/kirsten%202page%20art%20spread.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="172" data-original-width="380" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5qjgyC5v-i6yROr9vKebR8D720cLE9ZLASaIzwTosXQcAbHtXYzLOErMbidT1ubpcvnJsrY1uEOGsrTv6lt_t6fFTMHS_pp197xZQOdX0Q6HCSMKaWdMMzM_VHfM15pT-LMrlr_TzohHZzC6nYzdftlYo2kH5SWUnQY1T5JlbaqFYTyIz_IvvL7Rcj_s/w400-h181/kirsten%202page%20art%20spread.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP7H3-1vobjrYlaN3BBAAVUkjCjOgeEpA3KZqkB_0LKoxAXjzeBIuiX3g-f0gkbqS-8rytN7PFJFiv4W7e56v51Vh-tBygWEQYX8zO6TEzyGwN4_BhqmUMviP-doKt29HPAHOZ8oVXSDedqDirAfcNgsWIvGjCS8JmhOkpGQ3kdLp7Al0cF8ykwP2vwSI/s392/Travis%20Thanksgiving%20Art.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="157" data-original-width="392" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP7H3-1vobjrYlaN3BBAAVUkjCjOgeEpA3KZqkB_0LKoxAXjzeBIuiX3g-f0gkbqS-8rytN7PFJFiv4W7e56v51Vh-tBygWEQYX8zO6TEzyGwN4_BhqmUMviP-doKt29HPAHOZ8oVXSDedqDirAfcNgsWIvGjCS8JmhOkpGQ3kdLp7Al0cF8ykwP2vwSI/w400-h160/Travis%20Thanksgiving%20Art.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQD2gQ0XFO3xyfMav7LXNIn7YY8vwtFEVbNcQs_RxzvSPJTCkIeL7uHTvqB1vZliiMkQl3BY292HIGUmaIBr5HhQhNxJfmUiducyRnQyJelAfuV4eBCXRsYkO8cptz6-820KTU4s6_Gj-twVGYt5NlhR3ajajDWc_p65LqaDy_02qiBSpMbyY4eeLTdMU/s380/travis%20two%20page%20layout.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="158" data-original-width="380" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQD2gQ0XFO3xyfMav7LXNIn7YY8vwtFEVbNcQs_RxzvSPJTCkIeL7uHTvqB1vZliiMkQl3BY292HIGUmaIBr5HhQhNxJfmUiducyRnQyJelAfuV4eBCXRsYkO8cptz6-820KTU4s6_Gj-twVGYt5NlhR3ajajDWc_p65LqaDy_02qiBSpMbyY4eeLTdMU/w400-h166/travis%20two%20page%20layout.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I<span style="font-family: inherit;"> like Shutterfly because of the variety of book templates you can choose.

It was located on the corner of Canal Street (now known as Monroe Avenue) and Pearl Street. Martin named the bank the M. L. Sweet & Company Exchange Bank. It merged with First National Bank and then became Old National Bank in 1864. (After Martin’s death, Old National Bank merged with Kent State Bank and became Old Kent Bank. Old Kent Bank was acquired by Fifth Third Bancorp in 1994.) The building in which Sweet’s Bank, First National Bank, and Old National Bank operated was surrounded by Sweet’s Hotel when Martin completed building that elegant edifice in 1869. To finance other ventures, Martin placed a mortgage on the hotel with Old National Bank and the bank acquired it in 1898. J. Boy Pantlind bought the hotel in1902. Pantlind rebuilt the hotel part and opened it as The Pantlind in 1916. In 1981 the hotel was sold to the Amway Corporation. A 29-story addition was added and the building opened as the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in 1982. The old bank part remains is now known as the Imperial Ballroom.
