In “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood”, Chris & Jim take the children of my mother’s brothers and my mother’s eldest brother’s niece & nephew to the circus that has been long held at the coliseum within the Michigan State Fairgrounds. They all go in Chris’s GM Full-Size van.

My mother’s parents and Bernice also join them at the coliseum within the Michigan State Fairgrounds to spectate the circus.

For Bernice, it’s just a short drive from her house down 9 Mile Road and up Woodward Avenue until she arrives at the Michigan State Fairgrounds.

Location of where in the Metropolitan Detroit area the Michigan State Fairgrounds are, being that the area was sparsely populated as of 1905; and the area wasn’t built up until the 1920’s through the 1940’s, particularly the homes and the Elementary School surrounding the Michigan State Fairgrounds.
