Excerpt from A Wanderer's Journal, 1889 Dec., 1885.Started from Duncan City, Cheboygan Co., Mich., in company with my sister and her husband (Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Macdonough), their son, a boy of fourteen, and daughter, a baby of seventeen months, for Detroit, Mich., by the Michigan Central We had to change cars once. The weather was snowy and cold, but the dear baby only laughed, instead of crying, when waiting in the station, or on the platform, and did not seem at all frightened at the whistle, or the bustling around her. We arrived in the city late in the evening, and took rooms at the Biddle House, on Jefferson avenue, which we had heard was fitted up, in elegant style. - Alas, the disappointment! The furniture had been oiled with fish-oil, and so disagreeable was the odor, that there was no thought of staying there. we were very glad to change to the Brunswick, on the following day, where we were more comfortable, although my room was very cold, I was glad to escape from the more cheerful atmosphere of our first lodging.
