Working Towards A Healthier You Welcome back once again. Let’s conclude our discussion of sores and ulcers of the mouth with a discussion of cold sores, also known as fever blisters. Unlike canker sores, the cause for these lesions is well known: the Herpes simplex virus and the sores are the result of a true infection. Craig Diederich, DDS, MS There are two phases to this type of infection, a primary phase typically in young children, which affects all tissues of the mouth. A secondary, or recurrent phase, usually affects only the lips and skin, gum line and palate. These tissues are the opposite (firm vs. loose) than what is affected by canker sores, which helps distinguish between the two. Also, the viral infection usually has blisters as a feature and it is very important to remember that the fluid in the blisters is loaded with viruses and therefore very contagious. If blisters are present, please avoid contact with others and be careful of touching the area yourself. You can spread the infection or even infect your finger if there is a break in the skin surface. Patients who suffer cold sores are also familiar with two other characteristics of this infection. First, it can come back and infect the same spot in the mouth or on the lip over and over. This is because the virus can hide in the nerves and then reappear in the area supplied by the nerve. This happens when the patient’s resistance is lowered, like during a fever or cold – hence the term fever blister or cold sore. Second, the patient can usually feel that the infection is coming back before they see any blisters. That is a good time to try and treat the area with an antiviral drug and there are both topical ointments and tablet form prescriptions available. These can help, but like most viruses, the Herpes virus can be stubborn. The sores will usually resolve themselves in 7-10 days. If they become a serious problem for you, please consult with your dentist or physician. My staff and I have enjoyed sharing our list of topics with you and with this installment, we have reached the end of our list of topics. We appreciate both your time and interest over the last year and wish you the best of dental health. Remember, stays curious, ask questions and if we can be of service please contact the office.

In 1847 the House considered selecting a permanent capital. Twelve towns weree vote wer votedd on on and and the to topp six six wer weree Lyon Lyonss (30) (30), Mars Marshal halll (29) (29), and and Alb Albion ion, Byro Byronn, Eaton Rapids and Jackson which all received 27 votes. In a subsequent vote Lansing was chosen by the House (35 to 27) and the Senate passed the House Bill by a vote of 12 to 8. Today you can visit the hill that almost became the Michigan Capitol Complex. In 1971 and 1972 State Historic Markers were installed by the Mary Marshall Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution at each of the 3 historic sites around the square.

Five MUSEUMS along the Downtown Walk

The State Constitution of 1835 fixed the capital at Detroit until 1847. In the late 1830s and early 1840s it was understood that along the Old Territorial Road Ann Arbor was to get the university, Jackson the prison, and Marshall the capital. A large area was financed locally and set aside for a Capitol Hill. The Capitol was to face Marshall Avenue where the B. E. Henry Building now stands. A “Governor’s Mansion” was erected in 1839. Lots around the Capitol Square were sold for fantastic prices.

Vi s i t o r I n f o r m at i o n

From 1834 to 1838 the first Court House was constructed in West End Park. It was demolished in 1875 when the second court house was built on Green Street. The fountain was a 1930 centennial celebration gift to the City from Harold C. Brooks. It is a replica of the “Temple of Love” in Marie Antoinette’s garden at Versailles, France. Marshall’s section of the Old Territorial Road was named State Street until 1923. That is when the state requested that all towns along US 12 from Detroit to Chicago name their main streets Michigan Avenue. The architectural styles of the downtown buildings include Italianate, Greek Revival, Second Empire, Romanesque, Colonial Revival, and Beaux Art Classicism. In 1860 the unusual and famed Honolulu House was built by Abner Pratt.

Emerald Ash Borer - Throughout the City in the 1960s Ash trees were planted to replace the dead Elms. By 2011 most of the Emerald Ash trees were devastated by the Emerald Ash Borer. Marshall embraces the value of biodiversity so future diseases will not cause such invasive damage to the City streetscapes. “Wolf and Bear” Trees - Wolves were common prowlers in the village. In 1832 Samuel Camp placed a platform in a large oak tree so men could protect the town. The tree remained in the middle of Mansion Street (where the Franke Center For The Arts is now located) until 1874. There was also a “bear tree” serving a similar purpose. This large oak was located just north of the “wolf tree” until it was cut down when Mansion Street was paved in 1913.

The 0.85 mile self-guided RiveWalk features five pedestrian bridges, boat and canoe launches, scenic overlooks and wildlife. A great deal of Marshall’s early history was lived along the Kalamazoo River and its tributary Rice Creek. The walk is wheelchair accessible. Visitors are encouragedd to en t practitice responsibl ible sttewarddship hi off tthi his valluabl ble resource. Marshall’s River Walk is part of the Calhoun County Linear Trailway System and the North Country National Scenic Trail, which runs through seven states from New York State to North Dakota. Mileages noted are measured from the east entrance at Stuart’s Landing and do not include the side attractions. Numbers below correspond to points of interest shown on the birds eye view guide map.

. . . . .

1 Stuart’s Landing (0 start) This site was used by Alfred Stuart to launch his fishing boat. He and Win Schuler loved to fish together. In earlier times, Marshall residents enjoyed swimming, ice skating, and fishing on the mill pond. Frances Stevens Stuart created Stuart’s Landing as a memorial to her husband, a longtime Marshall attorney, judge and sportsman. Today the park features a bandd shel ban shelll, res restro trooms oms, park parking ing, picn picnic ic pav paviliilion on, gr grillillss, ben benche chess, fis fishin hingg dock dock and and boat/canoe/kayak ramp.

2 Mill Pond Overflow/Dam (.05 mile) In the spring this area can

turn into a raging river race. In 1853 the first brewery in Marshall was located to the south with a cellar carved in the sandstone for storage. In the 1880s a “Barrel House” was maintained in the original cellar by the Eagle Brewery which was llocatedd west off S Marshall Ave.

3 Ketchum’s Mill (.13 mile) A large axle from the “First Stone Flour Mill”

(built 1837 by town founder Sidney Ketchum) can still be seen on the river bank below S Marshall Ave at the waterfall and dam. The mill was rebuilt following three major fires in the 1850s and finally torn down in 1881. Celebrated escaped slave Adam Crosswhite, who was rescued by more than 100 Marshall residents in 1847, was said to have hidden in this mill before escaping to Canada.

. . . . .

Riverwalk from this point. The City Public Service Building (PSB) to the north has restrooms available.

6 Perrinville (.4 mile) During the early 1800s, Marshall industrialist Horace Perrin

controlled so much of the industry and commerce in this area that it became known as Perrinville. By 1860, Perrin had built machine shops, a distillery, foundry, and flour mill here. In the late 1800s, the Rock River Paper Company was located at this site. Rubble from the industrial past is still visible. The City’s PSB facility now occupies the site.

7 “Bums Alley” (.6 mile) The walk extension along Rice Creek under the RR

bbridge idge ta takes kes yo youu thro through ugh “BBums ums Al Alleyy.” Duringg the Great Depression, men who rode the rails looking for work regularly stopped here to beg for money att nearbby hhous uses es. A Michigan Central Railroad Bridge was built in 1891 over Rice Creek. In the early 1900s the bridge was rebuilt after being destroyed by a flood. The stones from the original bridge were salvaged and used to construct the Oakridge Cemetery Chapel Building on Homer Road. The large rock “Territorial Road Monument” located in Carver Park was moved from “Bums Alley.”

8 Ketchum’s Vision at Rice Creek k (.65 mile) “What a town I could

build here!” Marshall’s founder, Sidney Ketchum, is said to have stated in 1830 while standing at the confluence of the Kalamazoo River and Rice Creek. At this location in 1831 Ketchum built a sawmill and a gristmill the next year. The Pearl St access area with parking and picnic tables is located just west of Rice Creek.

9 Sausage Factory y (.8 mile) In 1923, C.M Walters built a sausage factory at

this location. From 1924 to 1959 the Sentz and Son Meat Packing Company operated just east of the demolished sausage factory. The steps lead to a pub on Pearl St and a brewery to the north.

4 Power House (.22 mile) In1893, the City of Marshall purchased the

hydroelectric plant from the Perrin Estate for $17,000. The City built a new dam and added two waterwheel generators and two streetlight arc machines. The current facility produces both hydro and diesel electric power. The last turbine generator was installed in 1928. Diesel power was first generated in 1922. Although none of the original equipment remains, much of the powerhouse and wheel-pit are still in existence. It is claimed that this is the second oldest operating hydroelectric utility plant under original ownership in the United States.

5 Pagoda/Canoes/Brewery y (.3 mile) A beautiful cultural icon was

added to the Riverwalk in 2001 when local residents Jay and Karen Larson arranged for an authentic pagoda to be constructed in China and shipped to Marshall. As you stand at the canoe launch look across the river and see evidence of the Eagle Brewery in the form of a deteriorated cavern and sandstone quarry. Some 10,000 barrels were claimed to have been produced in 1895. A paved pedestrian, bike, rollerblade path extends to the west parallel to the
