		<description><![CDATA[I had convinced myself that Dutch Settlement Road in Cass County was named for all the settlers of Dutch ancestry who settled in the area around Cassopolis and LaGrange.   But Ron Swartz thinks it was named for the German settlers who settled in the area where the road crosses the line to St. Joseph County.  <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2011/06/18/deutsch-settlement-road/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

And here is one from downtown Nicholsville. According to the 1882 county history, Nicholasville, which contains a population of about one hundred, possessed two stores, a <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2011/04/13/nicholsville/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin (which we visited week before last) is now a museum and a reminder of British oppression of Irish people.  The leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising were executed here, though not in this courtyard. Executions by firing squad took place in this yard.

		<description><![CDATA[This was taken today, on a Sunday afternoon ride to Little Prairie Ronde in Cass County, Michigan. I would have liked to stop at Charleston, but there wasn&#8217;t time, as it was almost sundown. But what&#8217;s left of Charleston can be seen in the distance. It&#8217;s a cemetery surrounded by trees, to the left of <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2010/10/04/passing-by-charleston-again/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier I had said that Dutch Settlement Road is the east-west road that runs through Volinia. That was a mistake that cost me several minutes at the Cass County history library yesterday, when I was trying to find a cemetery on Google Maps. Only when I realized that the road through Volinia is Marcellus Road, <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2010/09/19/dutch-settlement-road-in-lower-case/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

It looks small because the house is so large.

		<description><![CDATA[This is yet another photo of Volinia taken on August 13. The road in front of the two buildings is called Dutch Settlement Road. I&#8217;ve already mentioned that it&#8217;s a road that&#8217;s busy enough that I usually try to find alternative routes for bicycling. But I had never bothered to find out why it was <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2010/09/09/dutch-settlement-road/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After getting photos of Elijah and Eliza Goble&#8217;s framed portraits (in the back, behind that fancy dress and hat from the 1930s) I eased myself and my camera out of the front room of the Log Cabin Museum in Cassopolis (August 13). But I stopped when I spied a note saying, &#8220;Rocking chair owned by <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2010/08/26/lew-cass-sat-here/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From a Spokesrider point of view, the portrait on the left is the most valuable item in the Log Cabin Museum in Cassopolis. I hope it doesn&#8217;t get destroyed in another leaky roof incident. I took the photo on our visit there Sunday before last by holding the camera up and aiming it in the <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2010/08/25/portrait-of-orlean/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
