S. S. Knabenshue, The Underground Railroad


“There was a station in Maumee operated by A. C. Winslow, who operated a foundry. From there if there was no close pursuit, fugitives were brought either to Toledo or taken via Detroit Avenue to Monroe, Michigan and thence across to Canada. If the pursuers were close, the negroes were taken to the Sylvania station [Harroun barn] kept by David Harroun, Jr. and from there Hall Deland, the “night hawk” took them to the French settlers along the Detroit river, who ferried them across that stream to Canada.”
