| “My
grandfather had an insurance agency in Grand Haven. He also had a branch
office in Grand
Rapids.
And I can recall riding on the interurban streetcar with him to Grand Rapids
on occasions. We’d board the interurban in Grand Haven and then we’d
have to change cars at the junction which was close to Nunica and we
transferred to the Muskegon
car and take that car on into Grand
Rapids.
In the wintertime the conductor would have to heat the cars with a
potbellied stove which he’d feed coal to every once and a while to keep
us warm.” - John Pfaff |
