More information on visiting the Point.
Haynes, August 23, 1892.--Mr. Wm. Smith a Justice of the Peace of Alpena township is visiting his son-in-law, Wm. Hilliard of Sturgeon Pointe, Mr. Smith was a member of the 83rd. Penn. Volunteers, serving three years. Your correspondent and wife passed several very pleasant hours at the residence of Mr. Hilliard conversing with Mr. Smith about old war times on Sunday last. The Pointe seems to be a favorite resort for the young folks judging by the number of buggies which passed while I was there. Everything was in apple pie order in and about the Life Saving Station and the lighthouse. Capt. Henderson entertained us in the most friendly manner while in the station. The boys are all gentlemen and will use you O. K. if you or any of your friends should visit the Pointe.
