Monday,
May 16, 2016:
Mark and Paula found themselves in Milan,
Ohio. They visited the resting place of Paula's paternal grandparents...Reinier and Mabel Timman. |
|
 |
 |
| Milan is also the birthplace
of famous inventor
Thomas
Edison (1847 - 1931). You owe the light bulb and
phonograph to this prolific man. |
|
 |
|
|
There is a square in the middle of town lit by Edison light
bulbs. |
|
 |
 |
||
| The city center has a gazebo
for speeches along with a statue of a young Thomas Edison and his mother.
|
|||
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Paula spent more
time talking with relatives and looking over 100-year old photos
of her ancestors.
There was a lot to
learn. Mark told Paula that the more she digs into family history, the more likely she is to discover a horse thief! |
|||
 |
|||
| Raccoons find this town interesting too. | |||
Quote of the day:
Always something to learn. Mark
