Thank you to former Hovland residents Mark and Cathy Dobbelmann who shared this photo with Cook County News-Herald readers. The picture was taken in 1924 when Mark’s mother, Madeleine Cross, was 5 years old. She was traveling with Mark’s grandfather, grandmother and great-grandfather and great-grandmother Cross. The family traveled from Minneapolis by auto to Duluth and boarded the America (with their auto) and made stops in Lutsen, Grand Marais, Port Arthur and of course Isle Royale. Little Madeleine is pictured here with “the infamous Captain Smith” on the America.
