Pearl,

Did you ever get the records?

I heard that some of the patient records have been released to the Historical Society.

My 2nd Gr. Grandmother died in the hospital in 1917. I'm still looking.

KennethLamb31 — 2009-05-19 04:21:27Z

Looking for info and family/school pictures of Clarence (Sonny) Lamb of the Newberry/ McMillan area in the 301s. His Mother was Wanda Mundt, divorced from Odell Lamb. Sonny was killed off the Solomon Islands on 5 July 1943 while serving as a gunner on the Sestroyer Strong (DD-467). Sonny never got the heros recognition that he deserves. Wanda later married a Mr. Zieter and they lived in Flint during the war. Sonny`s cousin on his Mothers side will write a book on Sonny if we get enough info and pictures. Thank all of you very much.

Thank you for your reply. George Gingras was living in Engadine at the time of his death but the record said he was buried in Newberry. Engadine cemetery has an online list of names and George is not on it. Is your list made from grave markers or from burial records?

Re: Newberry/Luce/cemetery

alexgang_99 — 2009-04-29 02:56:20Z

I'm sorry, but George Gingras was not listed in my forest home booklet. As far as I know, forest home is the only cemetary in Newberry. There is a small cemetary in Engadine which is only a little ways down the road but if he was buried in Newberry, it would surely be forest home. Wish I could be more help.

Re: Newberry/Luce/cemetery

Could you please look on your Forest Home Cemetery in Newberry
list for a GEORGE GINGRAS buried Aug 12, 1901? I have found his death certificate and it says he was buried in Newberry. Is that the only cemetery in Newberry?

If you found the LaCoursier in the Newberry Cemetery....would you know if these people are in there?

Louise Duffinay/Dufanaie born 1885 WI, buried Aug. 1919. She died in Marquette, MI. but believe she is buried in Newberry.
Luce Co. Mi.
Also, believe that her mother Ellen/Helen Lucier married Herman Lacoursier after being married to Duffinay.

Any help appreciated. Need to find Helen Lucier's birth information in MA. Louise was married to John Bte. Bazineau/Basinette...I think they also have a baby buried there. That Aniseme must be Herman's father! Any help appreciated.

Was Lacoursier's wife Helen's maiden name Lucier? was her first husband Louis Joseph Duffinay? Your help appreciated.

I am searhing the Duffinay family. Please advise

Re: Dr. Leslie E. Purman family newspaper article needed, Nov 28-29 1966

artpiet — 2009-04-18 06:21:18Z

I will have to look to see if we have any of the news articles. Les and Faye were close friends of both my mother's and dad's families. My mother's mother and stepfather had owned Pine Stump Junction for several years. We had Thanksgiving dinner that year with the Purmans at my dad's parents home. It was my Aunt and Uncle who found the bodies. The bodies were actually discovered several hundred yards farther east and on the opposite side of the road from where the memorial rock and plaque are. She was sitting up against one of the Pine trees and he was found several yards away toward PSJ. We have always felt he was probably helping or carrying her at that point, left her under the tree to go for help once he could see lights and just made it the few yards.
As far as the motel across from the memorial, it was not there until many years after the event. This is approx where they were found as best as I can remember: http://mapper.acme.com/?ll=46.57707,-85.58878&z=18&t...

That is an interactive aerial photo and you can zoom out and see Pine Stump Junction to the south and west. My aunt and uncle who found them had stood up with them in their wedding.

My grandmother's sister, Maggie (Margaret?)Brattlund/Brottlund was in a mental institution in Newberry, Luce Co., Michigan sometime in the late 1800's and early 1900's. All I know is that she was born in Ironwood, Gogebic Co., MI, in 1882 and died in June of 1918, so her time in the institution would have been between those dates. I would like to know the name of the institution at that time and any info about it. Also, I would like to know of any death records available for that specific place or for Luce Co. in 1918. Thank you very much.

genealogynut35 — 2008-04-23 18:36:40Z

While researching Stephen Peacock and Irena Howard the title to this publication came up. Am wondering if someone can tell me just what kind of information is given? We know the divorce occurred between 1920 and 1930 as they were living together in the 1920 census and by the 1930 census Irena was remarried to someone else. While the price is not great on a retirement income do not want to purchase if its not going to give me much information.

Located in Newberry,Luce,County Michigan

Directions;
South Side of McMillan Ave. 0.5 miles of M-123,Newberry.

Rootsweb has a cemetery registration,I did look at the cemetery index for all cemeteries, but did not find
Mary Ann Griffin or Elmer Ellsworth Griffin, they may be there but no headstone(the reading of the cemetery was in 2001 and no current one that I know of).
If you can't get to the cemetery, look them up at Yahoo,type in the name of Forest Home cemetery luce county, and should come up with a phone number, usually if you call and state you are out of the area, they will be happy to help.

# November 27, 1966 On this night, a snow storm took the lives of Faye (Leighton) Purman and Leslie "Doc" Purman along Luce County Road 414 near Pine Stump Junction. The following story is from Carl Bonakes Weather Page http://www.wluctv6.com/Global/story.asp?S=5735455. The proprietors of Pike Lake Resort had just closed the place down for the winter, as the last of the deer hunters headed south. Faye Leighton had operated the resort since 1941. A widow for over 20 years, she married a longtime family friend, Leslie "Doc" Purman in 1964. As darkness fell that Sunday evening, the couple left isolated Pike Lake and headed toward Newberry on one of the backwoods roads. They became stuck along the way and apparently decided to walk to the Pine Stump Junction Bar for help. The pair struggled through the biting wind and blinding snow for nearly four miles. Exhausted, they probably decided to rest for a while. Their frozen bodies were found cuddled up in a snowdrift beneath a cedar tree on December 1, three days after the storm ended. Ironically, they were less than a half-mile from their destination. A ferocious gale and snowstorm rendered a short hike an insurmountable obstacle that evening in late November 1966.
