Hi,
I was wondering if you are a relative of George Dart. I am, and in with of few newspaper clippings/photos etc, I found a clipping which mentions a Frankie Granger who was in town (Kalamazoo) looking for his father. I have wondered who Frankie Granger was, and why someone in my family kept the clipping. Please let me know if you have any info related to that.

Re: The Albert F. SCHULTTENHOFER Family

rmcintyre5 — 2009-11-02 14:43:53Z

Not sure if anyone is monitoring this message board anymore but I have Schluttenhofer (Hoffer) information that I would be happy to share. This information is not regarding Albert but rather Ralph Martin Hoffer and his wife Mary Joanne (Basler) Hoffer (Ralph's father changed their family name from Schluttenhofer to Hoffer).

I would like to share with any Schluttenhofer family members interested and would like to get copies of any Schluttenhofer photos that one would be willing to share. I have one Schluttenhofer photo that I can share.

My connection to the Schluttenhofer's is through Francis Xavier Schluttenhofer's sister Anna who married Martin Schratzenstaller.

Does anyone know what happened to the web site www.schluttenhofer.com??

Re: JAMES KILPATRICK

ebyayr — 2009-10-26 22:31:47Z

I have a historical book with many references (many Pages) about the Kilpatrick family in Emmet Co. Michigan. It is available in some Michigan libraries. "Yesterdays People Revisited" by Raymond Kalbfleisch

Re: JAMES KILPATRICK

jacobsh — 2009-10-26 22:30:45Z

John Kilpatrick, Sr. & Janet (Jennet) Wiley Kilpatrick are buried in the Woodland Cemetery, located about two miles south of Woodland. There are about 30 Kilpatricks buried in the cemetery. David Kilpatrick, one of their sons was a doctor in Woodland and owned a pharmacy there. I took a picture of his house which is still standing in Woodland. Also there was a Kilpatrick school which burnt down in January 1922. It was located across from Kilpatrick Lake. I found a photo of the school in The History of Woodland, Michigan 1837-1987.

michelleethomas — 2009-10-18 21:56:57Z

Thanks for the rest of this information from the obituary. There are many more details given in here which will help me continue my research. The affiliation with the Adventist Church and Michigan Masons may produce more records. The unnamed sister and brother, William Weir of Detroit, are also unknown to me. Thanks again for your help.

Re: Sherman Frost - Goodrich

ebyayr — 2009-10-02 12:42:41Z

A search of census records in Ancestry.com shows a Sherman Goodrich at Alanson, Michigan in 1900,1910,1930. Most records show his birth year as about 1895 in Michigan. He was an only child so he may have been adopted. He was in prison in 1920 but was back with his mother in 1930. His parents were Barzella and Jennie Goodrich. He was always single.

Re: Bellmer,Peter;, Peter Balhumar

belltollst — 2009-09-30 16:46:00Z

Peter is my Great, Great, Grandfather. My understanding is we are French. I was told that at one time my Great Uncle Eddie had the family tree traced back to France. I don't know what happened to it when he passed away. I have never seen our name spelt Balhumar. It may have been changed along the way (I believe at one time it may have been Bellmere). I hope this helps you.

Re: Blanche Avis Page

ellynis2001 — 2009-09-30 16:44:44Z

Thank you for your reply.
In my original post, I did incorrectly list Willard as the son of Frank. Further research revealed the error, so I have amended my records.
Blanche Avis was married to Joseph Franklin Niswander, my husband's grandparents. Her parents were Charles B. Page and Sarah A. "Eva" Doddington.
Blanche, Chester and Frank had two other siblings: Robert S., b. 14 Jan 1882 d. 23 Aug 1882 Spring LakeTwp., Ottawa Co., MI, and Osta N. born 31 Jan 1888 in Muskegon d. 13 oct 1892 Muskegon Co., MI. She is buried in Oakwood Cemetery in the City of Muskegon. (Incidentally, the county records list Osta's parents as Avice and Charles...Sarah Avice/Avis Doddington Page.) Blanche and Joseph named two of their daughters Osta and Naomi....I'm guessing that Osta's middle name was Naomi.
I do have more information if you are interested. You can email me directly at ellynis2001@yahoo.com.

Re: Blanche Avis Page

belltollst — 2009-09-30 16:42:49Z

Willard C Page is not the son of Frank. He is the youngest son of Chester. Chester also had two other sons, Leslie and Earl and one daughter Velma. Willard was my father. Chester was married to Alta Pangborn.

I did some research for someone else on the Rought's. I don't have much and what I do have is on the George Rought family. I would be willing to share the information that I have. If you have any information on this family , I would appreciate that also.

Re: Rought

2009-08-28 14:12:42Z

I have information on the 1st Rought family you mention - I've been struggling to track all of the Rought's since they all come from Nicholson, Wyoming Co., Pa. c. 1800. Please email me and we can talk further.

Rought

2009-08-28 14:12:11Z

Is there anyone who might have information on the family George and Sarah (Cupp) Rought? I know they had a son named Irving Rought that lived in Petoskey. Also would especially appreciate any information on Kathryn Rought Davis Carr that also lived in Petoskey about 1955.

Re: Orson Bradley

JaneAncestry — 2009-08-11 15:34:35Z

Parents could be Joseph Bradley and Mary Emmons, both born in Connecticut, but I'd check Orson's census to be sure (parents birth place should say Connecticut).

Re: Orson Bradley

JaneAncestry — 2009-08-10 12:43:19Z

Oh, and by the way, Orson is my son's 5th great grandfather!

Re: Orson Bradley

JaneAncestry — 2009-08-10 12:40:00Z

That's true, I've learned the hard way not to put down relatives until you see some sort of proof. But I saw something yesterday, and forgot to save it. Let me see if I can find it, and I'll let you know.

Orson Bradley

SMontgomery5996 — 2009-08-11 15:34:14Z

Does anyone know what Funeral Homes were in existance in Harbor Springs in 1891?
My gggrandfather, Orson BRADLEY, is buried in the Lakeview Cem.H.S. He died June 1891. I have not been able to find the county where he died, so am hoping to find records from the Funeral Home.
The cemetery records don't show his parents. Really need help here.
Thanks so much.
Sandy

Re: Orson Bradley

SMontgomery5996 — 2009-08-10 15:32:49Z

Just read the part about your son being connected to Orson. Further checking into your post, I see he is descended thru Orson's son, James. I'm descended thru Doctor Bruce.
Please just contact me directly, much quicker!

Re: Orson Bradley

SMontgomery5996 — 2009-08-11 15:35:28Z

Hi,
Orson's parents are Joseph and Mary (Emmons)Bradley. The problem is, I don't actually have proof of this. On Joseph's will, he does list Orson as an heir, it doesn't say "my son". I do have his brother's obits, they don't give Orson's name either. Orson's obit. does not name parents.
No death record for Orson to be found. In other words, no positive proof to convince DAR that Orson is the son of Joseph and Mary!
World tree can be mistaken, so not able to use this as tangible proof.
Can you help more??
Thanks for replying,
Sandy

michelleethomas — 2009-09-17 15:28:46Z

Thanks so much for looking this up. I am in NC and have never been able to visit Petoskey.

The Toronto information will help me narrow down where to look in the 1851 Canadian census and the 1882 move date from Ionia to Emmet helps me to know to look in both the 1884 & 1894 MI Emmet Census.

Thanks again, Michelle

Seeking Obituary from 1925 for Joseph G. Bain

michelleethomas — 2009-09-11 15:42:13Z

I am seeking a source to find an obituary for Joseph G. Bain.

Joseph G. Bain died 21-Jun-1925 in Emmet County, Michigan and had lived in Petoskey. He was survived by his second wife, Olive M. Wixon. His first wife was Louisa M. Church (Bain) and she died 27-Apr-1909. He was born in Canada around 1838 to parents who were born in Scotland and Ireland/England. He had previous lived in Ionia County, MI before moving to Emmet in the 1880's or 1890's. Before his second marriage he had been living with his adult daughter, Anna Bain Thomas, SIL Newton Enoch Thomas, and grandson, Benjamin F. Thomas.

I am seeking more information about him to trace his family in Canada.

Does anyone know where obituaries from 1925 can be found for Emmet County Michigan?

Thanks,
Michelle

Sherman Frost - Goodrich

DBJ2039 — 2009-09-25 13:35:04Z

My dad's half brother was born with the name of Sherman Frost. His father passed away when he was young and his mother could not take care of all the kids. So, Sherman was put up for adoption. His parents were Albert and Clara Frost.

I have been told that he was adopted by the Goodrich family in Emmet County.

Does anyone have any information about Sherman Goodrich ???

Re: Seeking Obituary from 1925 for Joseph G. Bain

ebyayr — 2009-09-17 15:29:50Z

Here is more of the Obit. Incidently Emmet Co is not in the 1894 State census. "Joseph Bain died. He had been ill for the last two weeks. Mr Bain was so ill that he was not informed of the death of his son Benj. Bain last Saturday. Mr Bain was born near Toronto and moved to Ionia County. He moved to Petoskey with his family in 1882. He was a member of the Adventist church and was one of the oldest Masons in Mich. He affiliated with the Masons in 1860. Surviving him is the wife, one son J.G. Bain, one daughter, Mrs Newton Thomas, a sister, and one brother William Weir of Detroit." [Is Weir a middle name or is there another name to be considered in the family?]

Re: Seeking Obituary from 1925 for Joseph G. Bain

ebyayr — 2009-09-14 21:21:52Z

The obit is at the Petoskey Library. In short; he "was born near Toronto;" and moved to Petoskey in 1882 and farmed.

Re: Seeking Obituary from 1925 for Joseph G. Bain

ebyayr — 2009-09-14 01:53:23Z

The Obit should be in old Petoskey newspapers at the Petoskey Library. I will try to go there tomorrow if you are out of the area.
