Then he took school children on trips to the historic spots in Flint. Dad had super thick blood as well as his mother and they had a terrible time getting it to thin out. He had a few strokes and then a coronary."

A number of neighbors were on the scene very quickly, however, and by dint of strenuous work managed to save a large share of the household effects. the home was very commodious and desirable and the insurance of four thousand dollars, which we are informed was carried, would scarcely cover the loss."
