		<description><![CDATA[After putting up the last post about the town square in Coldwater, I looked to see what else I had from that ride on October 22, 2005.    I saw that I had never gotten around to learning about this building from my first photo stop of the day,  at the intersection of D Drive and <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2011/04/24/newton-grange-3/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

The parents and three children succumbed to cholera and were buried somewhere in Athens. I've had no luck finding that grave site, but I also got interested in the surviving children, some of whose graves I've found.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ken Steinhoff&#8217;s post about Bicycle Gardens Sprouting Up All Over made me think of this scene from a ride on August 31. In this land of corn and soybeans one might get the idea that life is strictly business &#8212; agribusiness. Then one sees a bit of whimsy, like this red bike left to grow <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2010/03/05/bicycle-gardens/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

I wondered if the road was like US-20 in Michigan, where a number of the old houses and taverns from the stagecoach days are still standing.]]></description>

I wanted to get down to Fall Creek itself, but railroads prefer not to come down to our level in places like this.

Falls Park was where I expected to find a historical marker where the Falls Creek murderers had been hanged.

Williams is buried on the knoll in the foreground of this photo, judging from a photo taken from the other direction that you can see on an excellent web site about Madison County cemeteries that I just now discovered.
