This is Betzer in Ransom Twp., Hillsdale Co., Michigan. Corner of Pittsford Road. What remains of the feedmill to the right of the Betzer United Brethren In Christ Church.

I lived across the road. 1st grade thru 5th. Played with Joe Kaiser. His dad ran the mill and the store on the west side. My dad accidentally backed his milk truck into the east side of the church after working about 24 hours straight. We you in my class Roger?

Yes Doug, we were in the same class. And my sister has lived in your former house there since she was married Dec 3, 1966. My grandfather's John Deere Tractor was ordered/delivered thru that store during WWII, and my cousins now own the tractor. I was attempting to add notes on farms in the area, regarding who had lived on them, had pages of them listed, but was trying to find the actual addresses in directories. Never got it all done. Hope you are well!
