Sunday, June 23, 1929 - Franklin, Indiana


Grif came to the hotel early and had breakfast with us and then the next thing we did was to get Shirley off for Chicago. We took her to the station, fixed her up with the traveler’s aid and with magazines and started her off. Then we came back to the hotel, got our bags, said good by to Grif and started. We rode all day long thru rolling farms and with occasional patches of woods. We had lunch in some little town in Ill. and started for Indianapolis before eight. We got to Indianapolis at seven. We stopped and got some pop and sandwiches for supper. Then we went on and got to the Fergusons at ten to eight. They had all gone to church so we went on over. Dr. Ferguson hesitated in the middle of his sermon because they didn’t expect us and we certainly surprised them. After church they all gathered around us and they all said they had recognized us right away. They took us home and fed us and they are putting us up tonight.
Jane’s Notes: Franklin is where Indiana 44 and I-65 come together just SE of Indianapolis.
