Person:Frank Myers (7)

_FSFTID: KZ5Y-SGV

On a visit on 9 March 1989 to Hugh J. Dodds of Saranac, MI--Hugh said his Uncle Frank Myers worked at the water department in Lake Odessa. He was a hard working man, rarely went anywhere, as he had to be there to keep the water running.

Frank & Ella had the first bathtub that Hugh ever saw. It was canvas, had crisscross wooden legs, with big canvas walls. There was a hole with a pipe in it so water could run out. They heated the water on the range.

Frank & Ella lived on the east side of the street, by the fairgrounds, 4-5 houses south of the fairgrounds in Lake Odessa, MI
