*******************************************************************

Transcriber's notes:
Owosso is an estimated 4 miles from Grace's home.

"Winnie" is not Winifred Humphrey, who Grace always refers to as either "Winifred" or "W.H."  This Winnie is more likely to be her friend Winnie Chapin, though it is a common name in Corunna area in 1908.

I couldn't find Geo Bachelor in the city directory or census records.
