• Notes

  Edith never married. she taught school for many years in Adrian Michigan,I think she taught 3 rd grade. About Edith's house from a friend and later resident: Edith's button collection, displayed in a case on her livingroom wall, was Haviland Centennial Farm certificate. not printed on archiveable paper and although it is k ept in the dark, it is quite yellowed. initials EMH scratched into the cement of the barn door sill. Did she ever mention the tin y pigeon nests in the corncrib? They are constructed with square nails so they are very old . I always wondered if carrier pigeons were used to carry messages between underground railroad conductors. Edith t old me that she doubted these houses were used for UGRR because the Haviland family was unde r such close scrutiny. But that doesn't explain why the basement had been walled into two se ctions with a window in the fake wall. Or that the entrance into the basement had slats on b oth sides to lay shelves onand a hinged back to drop down to create a cupboard and hide th e fact that it really was an entrance into the basement.... That there had been a trapdoor i n the livingroom floor, and the trapdoor in the north porch, and the attic over the livingroo m has an opening into the attic over the kitchen wing, which has an opening in the ceiling o f the back room (northwest corner off the kitchen) overa trapdoor in the floor below, for th e crawl space, that gives access to the basement etc. etc. I can not find her in the 1920 Census (ADV 10/4/09).
