From the January 13, 1938 Flushing Observer. "Eileen Martina Ganssley was born on the Seymore Road about four miles south of Flushing. She attended the Flushing high school as a freshman last year. She enjoyed our glee club that year but was unable to take it this year. She has been, however, in orchestra both years. Last year in the carnival, Martina took part in two of the short skits that were given. As a hobby she keeps scrapbooks. She has one on the Detroit Tigers, one on the Dionne Quints, another filled with favorite short stories cut from magazines or papers, and last but not least, one on a trip she took last year. This sophomore has a camera and likes to take pictures, especially when you don't know about it. Another scrapbook or album holds these pictures. Martina plays the piano too. Her favorite songs are "Rosalie" and "There's a Gold Mine in the Sky." She likes to read and does a lot of it. She has a small library of her own and wants to train at the University of Michigan to become a librarian. She likes to travel and has crossed the straits of Mackinac and saw Sault Ste. Marie and the Locks that link Lake Superior with St. Mary's River. She would like to see Yellowstone National Park. Martina said she thought her biggest thrill happened when she saw the Tigers win over the Yankees. It was the Tigers third game and they had lost the other two. -- Verna May Demeritt".

Rose, in discussing the remarkable rise in the value of Royal Oak real estate, recalls that his father sold 40 acres in Ferndale just south of the Machpelah cemetery for about $1,000 about 40 years ago. The judge says that all it was good for was to raise blue racers and mud turtles.".
