Marilyn’s grandfather, Fred Erskine, lived his entire life, 96 years, as a resident of Jacksonport. At age 20, he built a camera and began to photograph life in the early 1900s. On November 6, 1917 he and his brother enlisted in the Wisconsin-Michigan Red Arrow Division. Fred was sent to France. The first thing Fred did was buy a camera. He developed and printed the photos in his tent. He continued to document history while he was stationed in Germany, serving in the Army of Occupation. When Fred died at age 96, Marilyn inherited the WWI photos. Instead of keeping them in a box, she wrote Fred Erskine, WWI Veteran, Honoring my Grandfather, and his WWI Photographs. The presentation brings to life the stories of soldiers who sacrificed for our freedom.
