Notes

Time Line

1874. A group of tramps and vagrants "too idle and dissolute to do anything honest for a living" came into Adrian on a freight train and proceeded to "foot it" out of town by the Detroit track. They raided the premises of farmers and generally everything along their route. Among the suffers are the switch tender at Lenawee Junction and nearby farmers. They also kicked open the door of the railroad office at Deerfield Junction. Three were arrested by railroad detectives and sentenced to the Detroit House of Corrections. [DFP-1874-0731]
