Yes!! They spent a lot of time together at the Phelps residence in Huron City:

My apologies for this reply [[not really directly related to Detroit), but there is an
indirect relationship between Huron City and Henry Ford's Greenfield Village...
very peaceful and pleasant "living history" villages ... some early ones of that kind
in the US. The area families [[Hubbard, Pack, Carrington, Stafford, Jenks, Hopson,
us'ns, et al.) knew each other well - sturdy pioneer types, if ya know what i mean...

Henry Ford Sr. summered in our little town early on, a few houses down the road.
He was very much taken with Huron City and the efforts to preserve it... Of course,
he had many conversations with the early "preservationists" such as John D. Rock-
efeller Jr. [[Williamsburg VA), so the Hubbards were not his only influences.

Also, two of my favorite people - my paternal uncle and aunt - are buried in New
River Cemetery, which is close to Huron City. Many connections...

Enough garrulous reminiscing from ye wobbly olde "pioneer"!
