Across an Ocean to Washtenaw County

Today's story in the Courier explores the story of Clement and Ruth Loveder. Born in London, they risked a trip on a sailing ship in 1821, to finally end up on a farm near Willow Run--back when "run" meant "stream" and Willow Run was one. Read about their passage in a tale based on Clement's diary.

Thanks to the Courier!
