"SON OF HORSE DRAWN BUS DRIVER"
**Tug boats operated on the River Raisin before 1900, and ceased when the trolly line was built. The boats then were rented out for fishing trips. The bus that transported all the passengers to the docks, who came to Monroe for their fishing excursions, was driven by Bernard Flicker's father, Edgar. Bernard happily joined many rides with his dad. The old Buckeye Furniture store, located on East First St., was the home of the owner of the bus, Dr. Long's Livery Stable. Bernard, as a young fellow, about the age of eight or nine years, and his father would sit in the compartment at the front of the bus. It was pulled by two horses. Passengers could get on the bus at Munch's Store, at the corner of East First and Monroe Streets, or in front of the court house on East First, or anywhere it was flagged along the route. Fare was 5 cents. You knew the bus by its painted bright yellow color with gold fringe hanging from the covered top. Bernard's father died young. Bernard lived on Harrison Street in Monroe, Mi. for many years with his wife Edna. They are both buried at Roselawn Cemetery, LaSalle Township, Monroe, Mi. (by Lo Marie)
