HISTORY:

       RECALLS TRIP TO THE U. P. LUMBER WOODS BACK IN 1886 
    When G. A. Striffler, who has just reached his 81st milestone in life's journey, read recently about the old ferry S. S. Algomah being retired from active service and being now used as a part of a breakwater at Mackinaw City, he recalled to mind that he crossed the Straits of Mackinaw on the Algomah on May 1, 1888.  It was on the "up" trip Mr. Striffler made when he started working in the lumber woods in the Upper Peninsula.  The Algomah was then seven years old.  Henry Ford, as a mechanic's apprentice, helped install the engines in the boat back in 1881 when she was built in Detroit. 
    Mr. Striffler was employed by the firm of Weydemeyer & Work.  Members of the firm were Warren and P. R. Weydemeyer, Wilson Kane, and King Work, names familiar to pioneer residents of this community.  These early residents of Cass City had purchased timber land on the Escanaba River and Mrs. Warren Weydemeyer and her 12-year-old daughter, Mabel, were the camp cooks. 
    "When we stopped at Negaunee on the trip to the woods, King Work and I went to see an iron mine," Mr. Striffler remarked.  "The mine shaft was about five feet in diameter and as King Work glanced down the hole, he remarked, 'I wouldn't work down there for $5 a day.'  A big Swede, standing by, replied, 'I'd like to get a job there at $1.50 a day.'  That, of course, was 59 years ago."
