A 1829 migrant family from Detroit loses baby Ruth to croup on a harsh westward trek. The parents bury her beside a poplar and mark the grave with a board inscribed Baby Ruth. Decades later a traveler spots the sign, learns the tale, and a monument now marks the child’s final resting place near Van Buren County, preserving the memory of the first born.
