Father Winter
He remained there about seventeen years. Eunice, Azubah, and Mary Jane had married and settled in Warren. In the spring of 1834 the two farmers, with their families, removed to Adrian, Michigan, to which place Elly had gone five years previously. They were two months on the way, by land.
It now seems incredible to us that it should require that length of time; but it was in the days when the legend goes that emigrants through the thirty-mile black swamp stopped three nights at the same tavern, without loss of time. Paradoxical as this may seem, possibly it was true. The emigrants might get within a mile of a tavern when night approached.
