      PIONEER DAY EXERCISES.

      SCHOOLCRAFT, MICH.

      April 26, 1898.

      L. L. A. PIONEER DAY.

      At the meeting of the Ladies' Library Association on April 26, the following program was carried out, the papers having been prepared for the occasion by some of the survivors of the early settlers of Schoolcraft and Prairie Ronde:

      PROGRAM:

      THANKSGIVING HYMN.

      WRITTEN BY E. LAKIN BROWN,

      And sung at a Thanksgiving dinner given by James Smith, at his home in Schoolcraft, November, 1835.

I was to be 21 years old in the spring, and a life to be spent upon a hard, rough farm in the mountainous town of Plymouth, where my father lived, with a large family of boys and girls, did not seem to me to offer very attractive prospects.

      My father's brother, Daniel Brown, had removed with his family to the state of New York when I was about four years old, and after various chances and changes, had finally settled at Ann Arbor, Mich., one of the very earliest settlers of that place. Occasional letters from him had set forth in glowing colors the beauty and advantages of that
