 Item — Box: CHUD 1
Identifier: CHUD X-2-d

Scope and Contents

She requests Hudson to change the word house to home in the title of the article on St. John of the Mountains in the next issue of the Ave Maria. She wonders whether the Point St. Ignace mentioned in the Ave Maria is the one near Mackinac. In her mother's youth tradition said that Pere Marquette was buried on the banks of the Marquette River. This river is reported to have miraculously changed its course so as not to wash away the grave of this pious man. Her mother still remembers the missionary tour of Father Gabriel Richard, pastor of St. Ann's church in Detroit, during which he collected all the old traditions concerning the life of Pere Marquette. Her mother also recalls the solemn celebration and procession held at the place of his burial. She herself took part in this procession. Howe has always enjoyed hearing the legends connected with the death of Pere Marquette. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
