Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan Easter Sunday, April 3, 1988 Transcription of the spoken sermon After all his pains he shall be bathed in light, after his disgrace he shall be fully vindicated; so shall he my servant vindicate many, ... himself bearing the penalty of their guilt. Isaiah 53:11 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. ... He must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet...that God may be everything to everyone. I Corinthians 75:22-28 God raised Jesus from the dead. That is the great truth we celebrate on Easter. Jesus died. That is the somber reality marked in this sanctuary and around the world on Friday. As Jesus was hanging suspended between heaven and earth, they cruelly mocked him – the soldiers, the religious authorities, even those condemned with him. Did he trust in God? They taunted, let God rescue him… Matthew 27:43 How that must have wrenched him. His whole life, his whole message was posited on trust in God. Where was God, the God Whom he addressed intimately as “Abba, Father”? Is it any wonder that that terrible cry of dereliction found expression in his awful agony, “My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” He trusted in God; let God deliver him now... But there was no deliverance; Jesus breathed his last. Jesus died. Unless that black reality has seeped into the pores of our being, Easter will fail to appear in all its radical reality. Only the horrid darkness of Golgotha can adequately set the stage for the brightness, joy and wonder of Easter's dawn. The taunters at crucifixion were not without profound insight. They knew everything hinged on God’s intervention on behalf of His Servant. If heaven © Grand Valley State University   �Authentication Richard A. Rhem Page 2   remained relentless and Jesus really died, then put to death as well was all he claimed to be, all he claimed was true, the way he claimed to be God’s way. Those who conspired to put him to death knew instinctively that if there was no move from heaven, no action from God, they had won the day. “He trusts in God; let God deliver him now.” Quite right. That was the issue. If we are right - in agreement with the Gospel writers - that Jesus found his identity, the model of his ministry in the Servant Songs of Second Isaiah, then he must not have been surprised at the opposition he met in the days of his ministry. In the third of the songs, Isaiah 50:4-9, the Servant says, I offered my back to the lash and let my beard be plucked from my chin; I did not hide, my face from spitting and insult; Opposition and suffering must have come as no surprise. But the Servant was certain of the Lord's strong support. ... but the Lord God stands by to help me; therefore no insult can wound me. I have set my face like a flint... Beyond the suffering and persecution there was the promise of God's support and the clear call ... to be my salvation to earth’s fartherest bounds. Isaiah 49:6 And so, on the model of the servant, Jesus carried on a ministry of bringing Salvation, a ministry of healing executed with compassion in gentleness. ... not breaking a bruised reed, not snuffing out a smoldering wick. Isaiah 42:3 All of that must have passed before his mind's eye as he felt death closing in as the tormenters reminded him that the issue at stake was whether his trust in God would be vindicated; whether he, the Servant of the Lord, would be vindicated. O God, where are you now in my hour of desperate need? Yet, there was more that must have been going on in the mind and heart of Jesus, ravished with pain, alone in his anguish. If he found his identity and destiny in the Servant Songs, then he knew well the, to us, familiar 53rd chapter of Isaiah. We have referred to it in this series twice, noting the Lamb led to the slaughter, the innocent one bearing the transgression of his people. The Servant dies. ... he was cut off from the world of living men; stricken to death for my people’s transgression. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, a burial place, among the refuse of mankind. Isaiah 53:8-9 © Grand Valley State University �Authentication Richard A. Rhem Page 3   The Servant died. Jesus knew he was precipitating a crisis in Jerusalem. He must have sensed the inevitability of death. The institution of the Last Supper certainly indicates that. The Servant died. Jesus was dying, but the taunts must have been sharp spears thrusting into his heart. He trusts in God. Let God rescue him. But God made no move; heaven was silent. The evil designs of threatened religion and political leaders simply unfolded with no sign of intervention. But still there is more; the Servant of Isaiah 53 dies, but the Servant is also vindicated; the Servant's life and ministry is also authenticated. At the conclusion of the report of the Servant's vicarious suffering, bearing the transgressions of his people, we read: Yet the Lord took thought for his tortured Servant and healed him … so shall he enjoy long life and see his children’s children, and in his hand the Lord’s cause shall prosper. After all his pains he shall be bathed in light, after his disgrace he shall be fully vindicated. Isaiah 53:10-11 Jesus was dying. That could not have been a surprise to him. But, where was the vindication spoken of? This, of course, was Jesus’ supreme test; would he hold on trusting through his last breath? This claim of vindication and authentication in the fourth Servant Song is amazing. There was as yet in Israel no knowledge of resurrection, no understanding of a rising from the dead. Yet here we have an idea set forth of which there was no experience and no general expectation. The Servant dies on behalf of his people; God vindicates His Servant and the Servant is satisfied, content, that his mission is accomplished and his triumph is secured. This message is entitled “Authentication.” I contemplated using the term “vindication,” which appears in the text (Isaiah 53:11 NEB). However, that term has taken on a nuance with which I would not like God's raising of Jesus to be associated. It carries the meaning “to clear from censure, criticism, suspicion, or doubt, by means of demonstration; to justify or uphold by evidence or argument,” all of which properly applies to the significance of Jesus' resurrection. Yet it also conjures up images of vindication as avenging or revenge. © Grand Valley State University �Authentication Richard A. Rhem Page 4   Therefore, I have chosen the word “Authentication.” It is defined as “to invest with authority, to give legal validity to, to establish the title to credibility of a statement, or of a reputed fact.” It carries the idea of authorization, genuineness. It is this that God accomplished in raising Jesus from the dead. Easter is God's mighty “Yes” to Jesus, to the way of life he portrayed, the salvation he offered, the God to whom he pointed. Resurrection was for Jesus authentication. With real insight, the crucifiers taunted: He trusts in God; Let God rescue him now. God did; not before the mission was accomplished; but, miracle of miracles, when he had really died, God raised him from the dead. Resurrection is Jesus' authentication. So what? To answer that, we will move from the promise of vindication, life out of death, in Isaiah, beyond the narration of the event in the Gospel, to the consequence of resurrection in the Epistle. Paul's classic discussion of the reality of resurrection – Jesus’ and ours - in I Corinthians 15 makes the simple, straightforward claim: ... The truth is, Christ was raised to life. (vs. 20) He then draws the consequence: As in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be brought to life. Paul envisions an unfolding drama - the story goes on from Easter. Christ, the first fruits, and afterward, at his coming, those who belong to Christ. Israel gathered the first-ripened grain and offered it to the Lord - a sign that the whole harvest was God's. Using that figure, Paul sees Jesus' resurrection as the first instance of a general resurrection to follow at his coming - an event Paul thought was near. At his coming, history would come to its End. Paul understood Jesus to be reigning even as he, Paul, was writing. Jesus was overcoming all opposition to God's rule. When completed, he would overcome the last enemy, death. Then he would yield up the Kingdom to God and God would become all in all, or, “everything to everyone.” Thus, in the resurrection, God authenticated His Servant Jesus and established a whole new order, an order Scripture speaks of as the new age, the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom Jesus had claimed was arriving in his ministry. Jesus was authenticated: his claim authenticated. His resurrection was a sign that everything was new; a whole new world was born. © Grand Valley State University �Authentication Richard A. Rhem Page 5   We are already participating in that new order. We have passed from darkness to light, from death to life. Once, by nature, we were “in Adam,” subject to death. Now, by grace, we are “in Christ,” recipients of life. The old order did its best to defeat the gracious, saving purpose of God. Adam's race of which by nature we are all a part, crucified the Servant of the Lord. But God raised him up. In his death he bore the transgressions of his people, he justified the many whose sin he bore. In his resurrection he gives life to his people. Because Jesus lives, there is a whole new reality. The Kingdom of God, God's rule, acknowledged now by the Church, but one day every knee will bow, every tongue confess: Jesus is Lord. Because Jesus lives, we believe every obstacle and all opposition to God's desire and design to save will be overcome. Grace will triumph over all the forms and structures of evil, of darkness, of injustice, of sin and death. He trusted in God; let God deliver him - God did. And because he lives, I can face tomorrow. Because he lives, all fear is gone. Because I know he holds the future, and life is worth the living just because he lives! © Grand Valley State University � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan Easter, April 12, 1998 Transcription of the spoken sermon Well, we made it once again; we have paid our dues, walked through the darkness, remembered the passion and pain of Jesus, lingered at least briefly at the cross and now, thank God, we’ve emerged on the other side. A new world dawns this Easter morn. The alleluias return, the thrill of triumph, unalloyed joy permeates our being, all is well, life is good. Spring is here. Thank God it’s over - Lent, that is, the minor-keyed music, the extinguishing of light, the disconcerting "My God, my God, why ..." Were I a decent pastor, I would let you off the hook, let you cut loose, ring bells, shout Alleluias, let you have at least this day for total triumph, celebration, and release. But, for a few moments, let me ask you to reflect on the meaning of the stark contrast between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. There were only a handful of you here Friday noon, so let me picture it for you. In fact, let me begin with Thursday evening. The meal shared, the altar stripped, the sanctuary darkened, the choir lined the brick walls with tiny, illuminated crosses: I then took the Paschal Candle, walked it out, snuffed it out, using the words with which John tells the story as Judas was dismissed from the Last Supper, "It was night." Friday, the altar stripped, the old wooden cross leaned against the table draped in black by Cathy Weideman who waited at the cross as a few pilgrims straggled in. Then as Greg Martin sang, "Were You There?" she danced in vivid portrayal of the nailing to the tree, the laying in the tomb. In a darkened sanctuary, the Seven Words from the cross were read, prayers following, concluding with the somber tolling of the bell. That’s all - we heard the words again, "My God, why." "It is finished." "Into thy hands ..." © Grand Valley State University   �Authentication Richard A. Rhem Page 2   And now, look at us - White replacing black, flowers in resplendent beauty, joyful anthems, hymns resonate with joy. You know this; it’s all familiar. Some of you have actually experienced it again right here in these past days. Most of you have had at least some exposure to it through the worship of the season of Lent. But, I want you to think about it for a moment. Darkness to Light Despair to Hope Death to Life. That is the central paradigm of the Christian faith, is it not? In the appointments of the sanctuary, the mood of the music, the tone of the liturgy, the stark contrast is brought to expression. Now, here is a question for you: What is the relationship of Lent to Easter, of the darkness to the light, of Good Friday to Easter Sunday? For most of my life and ministry, this is how I would have answered the question: The human family, alienated from God through disobedience, was lost in darkness, destined to eternal death. God sent Jesus to live among us, to do what we failed to do. As Paul in Phil. 2 writes, Jesus, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited ... That was Adam’s problem, who stands for us all - created in the image of God, he asserted himself rather than humble himself as befits the creature before the Creation. Jesus perfectly obeyed, took upon himself the sins of the world, endured God’s just judgment on the cross, and was raised by God as a sign that the penalty for human guilt was paid in full; therefore, once destined for death, now by faith in Jesus Christ we are destined for life. It happened once for all, back there - The darkness was engaged, defeated. This is now an Easter world. Therefore, the bare altar and darkened sanctuary, sign of the judgment of God borne by Jesus, become the brightness of Easter morning with new Easter fire. To say it in other words - Jesus’ death was about atoning for human sin, absorbing human punishment, effecting salvation, life now and forever. That is the classic salvation myth we have inherited from the Christian tradition. © Grand Valley State University �Authentication Richard A. Rhem Page 3   A new age dawned. A new world was born. Death is overcome; heaven is won. Therefore, we remember the darkness of his abandonment on Good Friday, hardly able to wait to get beyond it to the celebration of this happy morning. But, something doesn’t seem to fit with the manner in which we have observed Lent. The focus has been The Human Face of God. We have followed the life of Jesus from his baptism, his call and claim, his identity as the Suffering Servant, the clarity of his vision to portray an alternative world - a world marked by grace, including all and excluding none, a world marked by compassion, justice and non-violence. In a word, Jesus was about the mending of creation, the shaping of a different kind of society, about the transformation of this world, this good earth, this present concrete human experience. If that focus is true to the real Jesus, then one might wonder what all the shouting is about because it doesn’t seem that much has changed in 2000 years. In the course of the Lenten messages, I have had occasion to point out the parallel between Jesus weeping over Jerusalem and contemporary voices weeping over Jerusalem as Israel prepares to celebrate 50 years of statehood. I have pointed to figures within our own historical experience who, following the way of Jesus, have suffered the same fate - Gandhi, Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther King, to mention only three. Let me suggest that we have declared victory too soon. We have grasped eagerly on the resurrection of Jesus as a victory that is ours to celebrate, as though the battle’s o’er, the victory won, when, in reality, the battle is not over and the victory has not been won. Sorry to ruin your Easter, but if I would be a faithful servant of the Word of God and honest with the human condition, I must tell you the old world has not changed. This is not an Easter world; it is rather very much still a Good Friday world. To deny that is to live in denial. The only way to avoid that conclusion is to stick with the old evangelical explanation that Jesus was about securing personal forgiveness and promises of heaven through his death and resurrection. But, I don’t know how one can fail to recognize that Jesus was about something much larger, about the transformation of the world, no less. So, what, then - is there nothing to celebrate? Is there no reason for singing an Easter song? Is there really no Good News? © Grand Valley State University �Authentication Richard A. Rhem Page 4   There is good news. It is really good news, given an honest appraisal of the world as a continuing Good Friday world. The Good News is that our history marked by Good Friday is not the whole story; it is part of something larger, the dimensions of which we cannot conceive and from beyond history, beyond the limits of our Good Friday world, the way of Jesus was confirmed as authentic, reflecting the way through one in the big picture. I came across a tribute to a biblical theologian who died December 30 of last year. John Howard Yoder was a Mennonite, people whose roots lie in the Netherlands in the first part of the 16th century. They were part of the radical Reformation; that is, they went further in their reforms than Luther and Calvin. A distinguishing mark is non-violence. They are pacifist, living in simplicity, similar to the Amish. In Sarasota, Florida, in February, we walked out on the beach in bright sunshine with a great variety of human flesh exposed to the sun’s rays. There sat a half dozen or so folk, full-clad, all in black, on lawn chairs, on the beach. They were Mennonites, appearing so out of place. John Howard Yoder was an excellent scholar. He served for a time at Notre Dame. His most popular work was entitled The Politics of Jesus - a politics very much as we have observed in our Lenten focus. In the piece, in memory of John Howard Yoder, was this paragraph appearing near the end of that work: The key to the obedience of God’s people is not their effectiveness but their patience. The triumph of the right is assured not by the might that comes to the aid of the right, which is of course the justification of the use of violence and the other kinds of power in every human conflict; the triumph of the right, although it is assured, is sure because of the power of the resurrection and not because of any calculation of causes and effects, nor because of the inherently greater strength of the good guys. The relationship between the obedience of God’s people and the triumph of God’s cause is not a relationship of cause and effect but one of cross and resurrection. Let me see if I can express Yoder’s point and thus express what I am claiming is the really good news of Easter. Yoder is saying that the triumph of right is assured. But that triumph will not be the result of the obedience of God’s people as cause and effect. The key to obedience is not effectiveness, it is patience, or persistence - the willingness of following a way that never has and never will win the world. It is a patient persistence in the embodying of the life of the Kingdom of God in the midst of this world, which always manages to crucify such embodiment. The end © Grand Valley State University �Authentication Richard A. Rhem Page 5   of obedience is the cross. Resurrection is God’s action beyond the cross, beyond history. But the victory is assured. How can I believe that? Because - a quote from Yoder, "The people who bear the crosses are working with the grain of the universe." I find that a fascinating statement. I have always claimed that the way of Jesus cut against the grain of our natural inclination. And it does. The call of the way of Jesus brings us into conflict with the way of the world, with the way of our natural I inclination. But, here’s the point: The way of Jesus goes with the grain of the universe. From beyond history comes the power of resurrection. Authentication is God’s act after the Good Friday world has worked its worst. We want to pull Easter into history. We want victory now. We want to win now. But, we won’t to the extent we follow the way of Jesus. It is not ours to win; it is ours patiently to live out the way of Jesus. That will mean going against the grain of every natural drive and compulsion, but it will be going with the grain of the universe - and it will count; it will count with God. And the end will be transformation. To the extent that we would do that seriously, we would stick out as sharply as Mennonites on lawn chairs, completely covered in black, sunning ourselves amidst the company of nearly nude sun worshipers. Let me put this question to you: If Jesus’ death and resurrection were not the effecting of your personal salvation as has been so commonly claimed in the church, would you still follow Jesus? What if we simply bracket the question of our personal forgiveness and assurance of salvation - not denying that, but simply putting that to one side for a moment, would you still follow Jesus because you really believed his way is the only way the creation can be mended and the world transformed? Again - apart from questions of salvation, heaven when you die, etc., apart from that - do you believe Jesus’ way of being and doing is God’s way? If it got you a noose, a bullet and surely a cross, are you so gripped by Jesus that you would follow his way? I could on this day simply let all the stops be pulled out, simply cut loose, claim the victory. I suspect there is even some place for that. But, is that really honest? Does that really prepare you to go back into a Good Friday world? Is it not more honest for me to tell you that following Jesus’s way will meet the same opposition today and have the same consequences today as then? © Grand Valley State University �Authentication Richard A. Rhem Page 6   So then, if you are really inwardly compelled to walk that way in fear and trembling, partially, falteringly, you will not be disappointed by lack of success or startled by opposition. Why would one do it? Why did Jesus? or Bonhoeffer? Because it is right, it is true - and to obey what one is convinced is right and true is to be free, is to live, is to experience resurrection now, and the eternal brightness of God finally. It is to be working with the grain of the universe. Resurrection is a present freedom of spirit and hope for the dawning of Light Eternal. It is living from inside out, true to one’s vision, finding hope in the resurrection of Jesus as sign from God of ultimate authentication. When one reaches that state of integrity of vision and life, one has moved beyond the possibility of disappointment or defeat. That is life eternal. Jesus is Lord to the glory of God. That was, they say, the earliest Christian creed. Jesus is Lord. That was the confession that flowed out of Good Friday darkness and the dawning consciousness of Easter light. Jesus is Lord! Kurios Jesus! The whole world shouted back, No way! Caesar is Lord! Kurios Caesar! Jesus is dead! But, a few followers knew better "The Lord is risen!," they cried. Jesus is Lord! Jesus’ way authenticated in a Good Friday world by those whose lives reflect that way, living with the grain of the universe, trusting God that history’s final darkness is not final; that the darkness will not forever suppress the light, but finally yield to the brightness of Light Eternal. The Lord is risen. Jesus is Lord! That is the good news in a Good Friday world. History reels on its violent, drunken drive for power and glory toward death. But, history is not the last word. The crucified lives. Jesus is Lord. Therefore, in this Good Friday world strewn with crosses of the gentle ones, there is reason to hope and to keep on loving, gracing, caring - forgiving, for from beyond history’s limits dawns the Easter world. © Grand Valley State University � https://digitalcollections.library.gvsu.edu/files/original/0bd07834e260887764076ebca9e843cf.mp3 b4b6e0baea28ecb433a7688c419f3f6e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan October 10, 1982 Transcription of the spoken sermon   O God whose love of beauty has written beauty into the very fabric of nature, we offer you the praise of our lips, the gratitude of our hearts for all that we experience in these nostalgic Autumn days: The ravishing beauty of the woods, dressed in a splendid many-colored coat; the brilliant sunsets surrounded by dark clouds, stippled with flecks of gold; the crisp freshness of the first breath of morning; the mellow warmth of an autumn afternoon; pumpkins and cornstalks; apples and cider; football and marching bands. And with all the sights and sounds and smells of these days, amidst a schedule too full, the gentle grieving that another Summer is gone; the sense of slight foreboding that another Winter is coming, that another year is well nigh past, Father, we give you thanks that, in the changing seasons of our lives, you do constant remain; that in the rapid passage of our days, you change not. Your mercy is new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Today, Father, we are especially mindful of and deeply grateful for the sound of music, © Grand Valley State University   �Autumn Prayer, 1982 Richard A. Rhem for the elevation of our spirits through all forms of artistic expression: for human voice and the sound of instruments, for oil and canvas and the artist’s touch that creates beauty, for poets who paint with words and writers whose words are sharper than a two-edged sword, laying bare the human soul. For all rich gifts of creativity and for all whose gifts are offered to you as a sacrifice of praise and adoration, we give you thanks, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. © Grand Valley State University Page 2   � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Richard A. Rhem Collection Description An account of the resource Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years. Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.

Leonard and Sarah E. “Sadie” Pierce. Evelyn “Eileen” was married on 5 June 1907 in Grand Rapids to Noyes L. Avery. Mrs. Avery died on 4 August 1972 in her home on Plymouth Road in East Grand Rapids. Mr. Avery had preceded her in death on 4 July 1947. They were both interred at Fulton Street Cemetery in Grand Rapids. Eileen‟s father, Frank E. Leonard was born on 8 April 1855 in Grand Rapids. He died on 25 April 1925 and was buried in Fulton Street Cemetery. He married Sarah E. “Sadie” Pierce on 12 October 1881 in Grand Rapids. Sarah was born in July 1859 and died at her home in East Grand Rapids on 7 December 1950. Noyes L. Avery was born in Grand Rapids on 18 October 1881 and was the son of Noyes Frederick Avery and Anna Haley Barstow. Noyes F. Avery was born on 15 January 1855 in Grand Rapids. He died on 19 November 1925. Anna (Barstow) Avery was born on 11 September 1858 in Paris Township (now Kentwood). She died on 1 September 1921 in Grand Rapids. The Averys are buried in Fulton Street Cemetery. ___________ Interviewer: This interview with Mrs. Noyes Avery was conducted October 4, 1971. OK, we can start. Mrs. Avery: I‟m, I‟m a Leonard, and I‟m also an Avery, I‟m probably the only one, that‟s a good Avery. The Averys came here in I would say eighteen forty. And you see Grand Rapids was not started until, I mean Louis Campau didn‟t come until eighteen twenty-six. And no that was only fourteen years when the Averys, and the Barstow family came and that‟s Mrs. Avery‟s, my mother-in-law‟s name. And her name was Anna Barstow. I don‟t know what to say anything here until I know what I‟m going to say…. (Voice in background: “you go on”) And, they came also at that time. Interviewer: Where did, where did the Averys come from? Mrs. Avery: The Averys came from Salem, Massachusetts. Interviewer: Do you know the reason they moved from there to Grand Rapids? �2 Mrs. Avery: I should but, people came here at that time, came to Michigan at that time and I suppose that‟s why the Leonard family came at that time, too. (It was) about eighteen forty, somewhere in there. Well, the Averys and Barstows were very important people here and they were friends of the Lowes, the Blodgetts. (Voice in background: “Let me think of something”) Interviewer: Well, you don‟t remember any particular reason why the, Averys and the Leonards came to Grand Rapids? Were they, what kind of business were they in when they first came? Mrs. Avery: I think Mr. Avery may have been in the real-estate business. Interviewer: I interviewed a fellow the other day, John Cary, and he told me that when his, I believe it was his father or grandfather, first came to Grand Rapids he bought five acres of land down approximately in the area of the old Union Depot was. Mrs. Avery: Yes. Interviewer: And he bought that from the Averys, bought five acres of land from them. Mrs. Avery: Well, now that probably was why Grandfather Avery came here. I never looked that up. This is interesting. And father Avery was born in eighteen fifty-five. And, my father who was Frank Leonard, Frank E. Leonard, was born in eighteen fifty-five. But Heman Leonard, that was his father, came also in about eighteen forty. So that seemed to be the time that they were settling Michigan. Interviewer: Yes. Mrs. Avery: Then there was a time, you know, when they were settling Ohio. And then, there was a time when they were settling other states. But this is Michigan. Interviewer: Yes. Where did your family live when you were a child? Mrs. .Avery: They lived on Prospect Street. Oh, in those days, you didn‟t have a house when you were married. You boarded with someone. And, Mr. and Mrs. Avery boarded with someone on Bostwick Street. There was a rooming house up there. They boarded there. My father and mother when they were married, boarded with the Charles Leonards on the corner of Oakes and Sheldon, in a house, I think in that, where Ferguson [Hospital] is now. And they lived there quite a long time. That‟s Mrs. Judd‟s grandfather too, that Leonard. She and I are Leonards. Interviewer: What relation, how, how are you and Mrs. Judd related, exactly? Mrs. Avery: Charles Leonard had a son, Harry Leonard, and Harry is the father of Mrs. Judd. My father was younger and he was Frank, Frank E. and I‟m his daughter. Interviewer: So then you‟re …. Mrs. Avery: She and I are cousins. �3 Interviewer: Well, when your parents moved out of the boardinghouse and bought a home of their own, where, where did they live? Mrs. Avery: They lived on Prospect. It‟s the third house from Wealthy, south on Prospect. It‟s still there. There‟s still a vacant lot by it and the house is still there. And, my mother sold it in nineteen twenty-six, that‟s quite a long time ago, too. Well…. Interviewer: What was it like growing up in the neighborhood? Mrs. Avery: Oh, you knew everybody. And everybody would stop for you in the morning to go to school. School was just one block west. It‟s the Lafayette Street School now. It used to be Wealthy Street School. And, they‟d all stop. The thing I remember most about all this is our wonderful games we used to have after dinner. We played hide-n-seek, over the whole block. All the neighbors, there were forty children in our block. That is four sides of the block. That‟s a lot. Interviewer: Yes, it sure is. Mrs. Avery: The Penneys lived there. They were a well known family. The Halls lived there. They were a well known family. Then on our street, the Stevens‟ lived there. They were a well known family, across the street from us. Well, we all went to school together. We didn‟t have any problems at all. Just came home from school and played. Interviewer: When you got to be a little older was there a lot of entertaining? Mrs. Avery: Oh sure, you mean when I was in high school? Oh yes, we used to have parties. Of course they were just kid parties. We‟d go at eight o‟clock; we didn‟t have dinner or anything. We‟d go at eight o‟clock and come home at ten, and our fathers would come after us. Heavens, we never went anywhere with a boy, whoever heard of such a thing. Interviewer: Going out alone with a boy? Mrs. Avery: Yes, there wasn‟t any reason for it except you just didn‟t do it. Your father went after you. Interviewer: Was that before the automobile? Mrs. Avery: That was before the automobile. When the automobile came in, Mr. Avery, my father-in-law had a car. I can‟t remember, I could tell you look it up probably and find out, because I used to be taken out for rides by Noyes Avery. And then he got a White Steamer, later. And we went way down to Gun Lake and we started at six in the morning, and of course that was the steam engine and every time we came to a farm he‟d get out with his rubber pail and fill …. What‟s that you fill? Interviewer: I am not sure, I‟m…. �4 Mrs. Avery: With steam. Interviewer: The boiler? Mrs. Avery: The boiler. And so we didn‟t run out of steam. And then you would run, when you saw a hill coming you‟d go awfully fast down that hill. Heaven knows how fast, maybe twenty miles an hour. And then you got enough steam to go up a hill. And then we came home and I remember my mother-in-law. She said she put a five dollar bill on my picture in Noyes room so he‟d have enough money for the day. That‟s my mother-in-law. Interviewer: Well, was your husband, did he live in the same neighborhood as you did? Mrs. Avery: No, they lived out you know, where the Fanatorium is? Interviewer: Yes. Mrs. Avery: They have a beautiful house down there. Just a beautiful house, wasn‟t a mansion, it was just a home. And it had been built by somebody Taylor. And the Grandfather Avery had bought it and they lived there. And it had a barn for the horses they would have had at that time, but not in my time. They had this lovely automobile, about this long. Can you think of something else? Interviewer: How did you meet your husband? Mrs. Avery: I just saw him on the street one day walking a girl home, in high school. I can remember very well, I thought how handsome he was. He was. And that‟s all. Then you just met him at dancing school probably, Saint Cecilia Dancing School. We all went to dancing school Saturday afternoons. When we were young, we went to the two o‟clock class, Calla Travis. And when we got way up to seventeen or so, then we went to the four o‟clock class. We didn‟t have to get home until after six. Interviewer: What kind of dancing was taught at that school? Mrs. Avery: Oh, it was the two-step, the waltz, the square dances. Interviewer: When did, when would you have use for a square dance? Mrs. Avery: I don‟t know. I don‟t remember any, doing it outside dancing school. But we knew how to do it. And, we‟d go to dancing school out of town someplace and we‟d dance. [In] town when there‟s no way of getting out except by train. Everything is in town. We had a big crowd of young people. Interviewer: When you got older and you got married, when did you get married? Mrs. Avery: Nineteen oh seven �5 Interviewer: Nineteen oh seven? Mrs. Avery: Yes. Interviewer: Well, after you were married in the entertaining among married people? What kind, how was the entertaining done? Mrs. Avery: Well, when we got married we‟d have seven o‟clock dinner, if it was a dress-up one. Otherwise, I think it would be about six thirty and you‟d have four courses, had to have four courses. You see I lived on Barclay Street, near John Street, you know where that is? Interviewer: Yes. Mrs. Avery: And there was a house down there, it‟s now a parking lot. That‟s where my husband and his two brothers were born. Because Father and Mother Avery evidently bought that house after they got through their boarding house, and lived there. That was forty-seven Barclay. And then you know all about the Hazeltine family? Interviewer: No. Mrs. Avery: No? I think you ought to find out something about these, these, great families. The O‟Briens? Interviewer: That‟s why, that‟s why we interview, we‟re doing these interviews, to find out about them because they‟re people today that are my age for example, you know you hear those names mentioned occasionally. Mrs. Avery: Yes Interviewer: But you don‟t know what they‟re referring to or who they‟re referring to. What those people are like, what they did in the town and so on. That‟s why, doing these interviews to find out about that and make a record of it. Mrs. Avery: Mr. O‟Brien. I‟m talking about John Street. The Hazeltines lived in the middle of John Street. The house is still there, on the north side of the street. And up on Lafayette, about a half block away, Mr. and Mrs. O‟Brien lived. And when the Hazeltine girl, who was a great friend of mine, Fanny Hazeltine, and I graduated from Vassar College, Mr. O‟Brien, was made the ambassador, appointed to Japan. And they took Fanny along. They were neighbors, within half a block of each other. And they went and she went with them and stayed a year, in diplomatic, and that was pretty great in those days, my goodness. So the O‟Brien family you should know about. The Hazeltine family you should know about. Interviewer: Who was Mr. Holt? �6 Mrs. Avery: Well, he lived right up there on the hill, too. Up, up on Lafayette, too. He had daughters. Well he was of the same generation that Mr. and Mrs. O‟Brien, Mr. and Mrs. Hazeltine. Mr. Holt and their girls were younger than I, but in the same crowd. We were all in one big crowd. When we‟d have a party at Saint Cecelia, it would be a big party because we knew everybody; we all knew everybody. Interviewer: I understand that Mr. Holt was, the… Mrs. Avery: Founder of the Kent County Country Club? Interviewer: I also understand that he was somewhat of a social arbitrator in the city. That he was the one who decided, who was in and was out. Is this right? Mrs. Avery: Well, I wouldn‟t know because I was too young to make any difference. I was in as far as that went. Not because of my family though. Just because of me I guess. Interviewer: OK. Mrs. .Avery: I mean my family was just a good family, the Leonards. And of course my father, now we‟re back to Leonard, my grandfather, his father, Heman Leonard came and I think it was about the same time, eighteen forty. You see, nothing happened here until eighteen twenty-six when Louis Campau came and everything grew from there. He started a grocery store; you know where Houseman‟s is? Interviewer: OK. Mrs. Avery: Well in that corner, and he was connected like almost all grocers were with the A&P coffee, tea and then if you bought that you got a saucer; you know they still do that, or a plate. And he was so successful with his china that he went into the china business. And my father had, when he, when he got to the, when his father died, china store Dick Zeyert and Sons. And that was the important store. You got your silver and glass there on the first floor, china on the second floor, hardware on the third floor, and toys on the fourth floor. Everybody went there for all those things. I mean it was generally, I can remember my, one time, my father saying that he always, when he sent a set of china which was a barrel of china, out I mean you had twelve of everything, that, if they didn‟t keep it, it might be a dozen plates, if they didn‟t keep it they brought it back, it was always, they always smelled of it, because if it has soap-suds on it, you knew that they borrowed it from the store long enough to have a party. Well, that‟s an amusing little bit isn‟t it? Interviewer: Yes. Mrs. Avery: But they had beautiful china, the kind that Rood has now only even better. My father went to Europe to buy it. He was connected with a great big firm in New York and he went down there and bought. He spent three or four weeks every spring there, buying toys, china, �7 glass, silver. So you can see it was a very important store and the toy department they always had Santa Claus. He was in the window. And then I got old enough finally, to be a cash girl in the toy department and I‟d run back and forth to the office with money and things and that would be done up. Goodness that was important, Christmas time, the few days before Christmas. And then I got so old that I could be clerk. Boy, was that exciting? That is what you want to know. Interviewer: Yes. Mrs. Avery: Folklore. Interviewer: Yes. Mrs. Avery: Then of course, everybody came down there and you know everybody who came in almost. You knew people. You weren‟t intimate friends with them but you knew people. What‟s wrong with them in every way. There wasn‟t just parties; it wasn‟t just social, because we couldn‟t have parties all the time. We had a lot of parties. But you don‟t remember the parties; you remember the fun you had. You hide and seek after dinner, and then my mother calling “Eileeeeeen” till I got home. Eight o‟clock. Well, that‟s when you went to bed. And there wasn‟t any of this restlessness. Goodness we had everything we needed and we had fun and friends. It was a great life. It really was. Interviewer: What, what was society based on in those days do you think? If you were, assume that I‟m asking you to define how the society was set up, how did one become a member of society? Mrs. Avery: I don‟t know. You just got to know somebody and were asked in, it‟s asked that‟s all. There wasn‟t any caste about it. Interviewer: It wasn‟t based on money then? Mrs. Avery: No. Not at all, not at all. It was on friendship. Interviewer: Did people that lived in the Hill area, did they have, well when they had parties, for example did they invite people over that lived on the west side of town? Mrs. Avery: No, because they weren‟t their friends. They weren‟t their friends. Interviewer: In other words there… Mrs. Avery: There wasn‟t a caste about it but it was just that your friends over here in the neighborhood, and you had to walk for goodness sakes; you had no way of transportation. No busing. Streetcars, yes. You went everywhere on the streetcar. Oh, we went to the lake at Ramona, we only called it the Lake. We went to the shows every week; our beaus would take us to the shows. Beaus were just boyfriends. There was a very little romance about our high school days. I can remember. I mean it was all friendship and fun. Sound great? �8 Interviewer: Well, it‟s kind of hard for me to imagine I mean, high school today so much different than, just mere friendship. Was at adult parties, was liquor…? Mrs. Avery: No liquor, absolutely not. Interviewer: Why was that? Mrs. Avery: Well, it just wasn‟t done. Interviewer: When did it, when did liquor be, start becoming part of parties? Mrs. Avery: Oh, oh I don‟t know. Not while we lived over there. We moved from that house we built to the corner. And, we came out here in nineteen fifteen. Nobody served liquor at all. Interviewer: You said we came out here, where‟s here? Mrs. Avery: I say we built that house. Interviewer: The one that‟s on Lake Drive? Mrs. Avery: Yes. That big white house and we moved in nineteen fifteen. No, we never thought of it. It just wasn‟t done. We didn‟t even have wine. It just wasn‟t thought of. It just wasn‟t done. Well, it probably was in some circles but not in ours. I mean we went with everybody else but there may have been some people who like Lowes and Blodgetts who may have served wine. I wouldn‟t know. But we never did in our household. And mother and father never did. It‟s just one of those things that wasn‟t done. Interviewer: OK. Mrs. Avery: It‟s like kissing a girl before you‟re engaged. It just wasn‟t done. Or hand-holding, it just wasn‟t done. Nobody held your hand. You wouldn‟t think of walking down the street with somebody holding your hand. Goodness. Interviewer: Times have changed. Mrs. Avery: I, we used to have lovely hayrides. We‟d go way out to Cascade and have supper and come back. On the hayride, a boy put his arm around me and I didn‟t speak to him for a year. A whole year. I wasn‟t any different from rest of the girls. It just wasn‟t done. There‟re certain things that your generation doesn‟t do. I don‟t know whether there is or not. Interviewer: I can‟t think of anything. I‟m going to turn the tape over; it‟s almost done here… Yes, when did the talk about prohibition first start? When, can you first remember hearing talk about prohibition? Mrs. Avery: Oh, I don‟t because there wasn‟t any point in it. There was never any reason for it, for us. We‟d never had anything to drink. �9 Interviewer: How old were you when you took your first drink? Mrs. Avery: Oh, long time ago, I guess. But we didn‟t have it in our house over there. My husband died in forty-seven. Oh, I suppose that, I don‟t know „cause we certainly weren‟t having any whiskey at that time. I mean not how, you know, cocktails, the way we have it now. Interviewer: OK. Do you drink cocktails now? Mrs. Avery: Oh sure, just like everybody else. Interviewer: Well what about the, was this just, you said that you and your husband never had it in the house for example but what, was there somewhat of a double standard? I mean, was it just the women that didn‟t drink or was it also the men? I mean for example, were there saloons downtown where the men could go for lunch and so on? Mrs. Avery: Yes. Interviewer: And they‟d drink at lunch? Mrs. Avery: I don‟t know. Interviewer: Never asked? Mrs. Avery: Not my husband. Interviewer: Ok. Mrs. Avery: It was one of those things that wasn‟t done. When I say that I mean it, just that way. Interviewer: When you built that house across the street were there any of these other houses here? Mrs. Avery: One. One down the street on this side and one being built on the other side. Otherwise it was all woods like this over here. Interviewer: Ok. Now in nineteen fifteen you got back and forth to downtown in an automobile didn‟t you? Mrs. Avery: Yes, by then, we had an automobile. We had an old Tin Lizzy and of course no starter on it. So we left it up on John Street which is a steep hill. Parked it John Street and we‟d walk over and get it and let it run down the hill to start. When I came out here every day to watch them building the house, the men would always start it up for me. I never tried to, it was too hard. Interviewer: Why did, for example, why did you and your husband move away from downtown out to here? �10 Mrs. Avery: Oh, we thought it would be nice to be out here. I lived on Prospect and I used to walk out by myself often. And I liked that corner. Well, we decided that, that downtown was no place to bring up children. Interviewer: Who was Edmond Lowe, or Edward Lowe? Who was he, where did he come from? Mrs. Avery: Well he came from the east I think, I never knew where he came from, I never was curious I suppose, and he was a very important person. A very nice gentleman. And Mr. Blodgett we knew very well. He was, and they built that house out here on Robinson Road, that‟s now Aquinas College—beautiful house. Now if we were asked there for dinner, which we might have been, I don‟t remember, they wouldn‟t serve any liquor. You were invited for seven o‟clock. Got there and you sat down at the table at seven o‟clock. That was what parties were like then. Then they‟d go home at ten or eleven o‟clock. They didn‟t play cards in the evening. Now I‟m speaking of the people that I knew. I‟m not speaking of everybody, I don‟t if everybody… But we didn‟t play cards. My husband never played cards. Interviewer: What would you do after, after you finished eating? Mrs. Avery: Oh, you‟d sit around and visit. First of all the men would sit at the table, or maybe that‟s when they had some wine, I don‟t know. But they‟d sit at the table and then they‟d come out with the ladies. Interviewer: What, the ladies would retire to another room? Mrs. Avery: Yes. Interviewer: When did that, thinking back, when do you think that that kind of living, that kind of society began to change? Mrs. Avery: Well, I don‟t, I was trying to place it over there in that house. Cause we never had cocktail parties over there. And that was in nineteen fifty when I left there. I mean, when my husband was living. My daughter had a beau, who stayed with us, he lived in Cleveland. She married him. And he was an older person. He was twenty-five years older than… And, he had some whisky and in the bathroom, so he may have had some. But we didn‟t serve it. They were married in thirty-five, so it must have been since then. And I don‟t think they ever had any cocktail parties like, like we have now. I‟m sure they didn‟t. Interviewer: Was there any kind of event, anything what, when did society begin to change, when did that style of living and the closeness of the neighborhood that you experienced? Mrs. Avery: Oh. As you got away from it, you didn‟t have neighbors. You see down, down where I lived and where Averys lived they knew all the people around. Mrs. Warner we‟ve just been talking to, lived across from the Avery‟s house, exactly across and she married and we �11 never seemed to know her. We were too far to walk. Nobody had two cars in a family at that time. Interviewer: So what, what started bringing that style of living, living to an end was the dispersal of people? Mrs. Avery: That‟s right. Because, now in the Hill District, they all knew each other and on Lafayette and down John Street where the Hazeltines lived. They all knew each other. The Holts are down there, Campau lived there. Interviewer: This morning talking to a…….Pardon? Mrs. Avery: No. Huguenots, that‟s not their name, oh you know who I mean [Hugharts]. Lived on the corner across from the City Club in that corner brick house. Right across, up Fulton Street. The people knew each other on Fulton Street. The Gays lived up there and he started Berkey and Gay. I should think that would be a good place for you to start, too. Berkey and Gay and I suppose Mrs. Judd told you about the refrigerator company... Interviewer: Ok. Mrs. Avery: …Uncle Charlie Leonard started? He, Uncle Charlie Leonard ran the refrigerator factory and my father ran the store. Do you get a picture of I‟ve, I have given you a picture at all? Interviewer: Yes, fine we‟ll finish there then.
