Présentation de l'éditeur

Hemlock in the Headlines is a book of newspaper articles about the Hemlock, Michigan area that date from 1871 to 1921. The articles presented here chronicle the milestones as well as the everyday occurrences of the community. The articles document such events as the first automobile in the town, the coming of electric lights, and the exploits of local boys serving their country in World War I. Activities such as baseball games, dances, church socials, local elections, and birthday parties are celebrated here as well. The book also contains the story of tragic events in the town's history, from a devastating fire that swept through the town in 1906, to a lightning bolt striking a boy on a clear day in 1912, to a double murder that shocked the town in 1921. The book is a great resource for genealogists, local historians, or anyone interested in what life was like in a small Michigan town around the turn of the century.
