Dexter, Sept. 1. - The big farm barn on

the Vinkle homestead, owned by

Zera Burr, which was erected in 1828

has been torn down. The roof and

sills were badly rotted, but most of the

timbers were perfectly sound. When

it is remembered that this barn was

not a new one when Michigan was

made a state, it will be realized what

an old landmark it was.

Guy Hicks is now night engineer at

the Grosse Pointe farm electric works.

A box social will be held at John

Hill's, on the Conrad place, Friday

evening, Sept. 8.
