Detroit Free Press , August 26, 1892 Although the temptation is great since the pickings are abundant I'm not going to stay too long on this Romulus search which I have already found 3 great items from. Or perhaps I should. Raising hickory poles was still in fashion in 1892 as is evidenced with this article concerning Romulus Democrats erecting a 95 foot specimen for Grover Cleveland and Adlai Ewing Stevenson (no, not that one) at the behest of John Sherlock. Despite the announced speakers not showing up there was a baseball game to amuse the gathering. The team from Romulus lost to the visiting Plymouth Club. The batteries for each were: Plymouth (Penny & Wilbur) Romulus (Rutter & Perkins).
