Yes, indeed correct!! The Ann Arbor RR main line looking north towards Ann Arbor. The post office in Samaria is to the left in the white building. My late mom's late cousin lived in a old white house which is just next to the main line on the right until it was razed about 30 years ago. He passed away in Florida in January 1991. All these buildings are located in Bedford Township, Monroe County.
