WOW..... Good old Elmore. I spent a lot of time in that house with Jeff. His Mom filled the side yard one winter so we could ice skate. It was much safer, than the Portage river. The railroad trestle that he speaks of was a great hangout. Kinda scary getting under it, but once there it was awesome. Especially when a train was passing overhead.
I have made the same pilgrimage back the old stomping grounds. We used to be known as the Rat Rats. Don Johnson
Elmore is located in what used to be known as The Black Swamp, a sprawling area of marsh that covered the majority of Ottawa County, and was primarily inhabited by local Native American tribes until the 19th century. Settlers during the first half of the 1800s began the long process of draining the land, thus creating a nutrient rich soil, which, along with a once thriving railroad, provided the foundation for the villages early growth and development. ~ wikipedia
