Sabbath, April 20, was the date of the 2013 Michigan Adventist History Tour. The day was cold and there was a dusting of snow when we got off the bus at our first stop, where we looked at the grave of Irving Guilford, nephew of William Miller.

Our route took us by the White home in Greenville, Michigan. James, Ellen, and Willie White moved into this home so that James could recover more fully from his stroke. They farmed the land and started construction of their new home.
We also drove by Prudence and Joseph Bates home in Monterey, Michigan. We stopped at their grave in the Poplar Hill Cemetery.

We went to the site where the Morning Star was launched in Allegan Michigan. And finally to the Allegan Seventh-day Adventist Church. David Williams led out in several pioneer Adventist hymns and told stories associated with them.
