name is Louis I', Hirtzel, a
descendant of the Michael Hint-

column.
I immigrated to Michigan in
1893. I was reared and baptiz-
ed in the German Evangelical
church at Crediton and edu-
cated in the little white school
11/4 miles south of Crediton.
I have many sweet memories
of my school days and in my
travels I have met school-
