Betty, I often think how I could never have come from Brooklyn, Ontario, Canada to Saginaw, Mi. then to Buffalo in the 1880's-1890's. Leaving Canada with 3 children, then going to Buffalo with SIX. I don't think so!! We come from tough stock. We've been spoiled! Ruth At 09:25 AM 2/6/2008 -0600, you wrote: >Enjoyed all the comments about Buffalo food. Always enjoy it when I >return for a visit.

Ruth - I have wondered the same thing. My grandfather left Avon in Livingston Co., went to PA then to several cities in MI from the 1870s through the early 1900s. No U-Hauls, moving companies, etc. Did they just leave their furniture when they left one place for another?? You're right - we've been spoiled.

Grace, About the furniture. I'm almost positive that when my Montroys came from Saginaw, Michigan to Buffalo they brought their furniture as I have a photo of them living in a large (very large) tent and the furniture is in the background. My Montroys were in the furniture business in Saginaw. I asked (NYERIE) how they would do this during the 1890's. I was told they brought the furniture in wagons or boats when crossing water. I'd be happy to hear more in put about people traveling during that time period. Ruth At 09:53 AM 2/7/2008 -0500, you wrote: >Ruth - > >I have wondered the same thing.
