For 'railroad buffs', found inside a scrapbook from Rhea Forbes Quick - a schedule dated 1844 for the Michigan Southern Railroad that had been built from Monroe to Hillsdale in 1843 before running out of money. The Hudson Museum has a rare piece of the original track.

Mr. Findlay of Florida recently donated postcards. No's 128 & 129 of the collection show the businesses in the early 1900s at 108, 110 & 112 South Church. Buildings at 108 & 110 were torn down. That space is now a private parking lot. The entire section from 106-112 is now for sale (see modern picture) for a reasonable sum. One always wonders what once stood in a downtown gap - now one knows.
