1928 LILLIE EAGLE IN HILLMAN THEN?

Myra_Herron — 23 Nov 2007 5:46:23 GMT

I am trying to locate the 2 witnesses to a marriage between Gerald Lee Herron and Mary Elderatta Daly March 24, 1928 in Hillman. I have located Thelma Haverstick there in the 1930 census, but she is only 16 years old then, so would have been a 14 year old witness. I did find a Lillie Eagle in Hillman in the 1930 census, so must assume that she's the other witness, and she's married and about the same age as Mary Daly.

Can anyone find other information on these people?

HERRON FARM IMPLEMENT CO IN HILLMAN?

Myra Herron — 18 Oct 2006 5:15:14 GMT

Does anyone remember the Herron Farm Implement Company in Hillman, back in the late 30's or early 40's? It was in a building in the block that burned down early 1940's. My father and his brother and father went into business in about 1934, and Harvey Herron, my uncle, ran the store in Hillman. He died in 1945. I don't recall ever going there. I was born in 1940, so maybe they never got to take me there. If anyone has a picture, or memento of the store, I'd appreciate a contact! My dad ran the Alpena and Rogers City stores until they all closed.

Montmorency Data Web Site

jessicabaugus — 24 Feb 2004 5:20:37 GMT

Hello everyone! I own a web site that has some information that may be of value to your genealogy research. It first began as a cemetery transcription site, but since I cannot do that in the middle of winter, I wanted to add even more data because even I have family in this area. Currently I have started on extracting all names from the 1930 census for this area. So feel free to visit the site often as it is a work in progress. Take care and happy hunting!

lookup please?

Cindy — 20 Oct 2003 2:33:30 GMT

Hello,
I am desperately searching for information on my great great uncle. His name was William L. Churchill. He was sent to prison in October of 1890 for second degree murder. The story in our family goes that he was let out because another man confessed to the murder. However when I found his prison record it gives no information other than his sentence which was 15 years and that he was let out in 1901 for Good Time Served. It gives the name of the county as Montmorency County which is where he has been shown to be a resident in 1889. If someone could do a newspaper search for me I would be grateful and willing to compensate them for their time. Also if any of you are his descendants please email me direct. I have other information on our family. Thanks and I hope to hear from one of you soon.

HOWARD NORTHRUP

kenchris — 3 Aug 2001 2:05:13 GMT

My father had two half-sisters who were either born, or who lived in Hillman, Montmorency County. One of the girls' names was Ann, and she married HOWARD NORTHRUP. I think she was still living there in the early 1950's. The other girl married a man named MATHER, and moved to Chicago. I think Howard and Ann were divorced. Specifically, I am looking for the girls' mother, who is my grandmother. Her name was AGNES HARE, and she was born in 1899 either in Michigan or Wisconsin. She moved to Hillman with her new husband. My father was born in 1913 (subsequently adopted) so I guess the girls were born between 1915 and 1920. If anyone has any information on any of these people I would appreciate if you could share that with me. Thanks.

Correction of earlier posting

John D Turrel Jr — 7 Aug 2003 4:47:06 GMT

Seeking any information on Jennie A Turrel, b 1864 to John Lyman Turrel and Abbie Schuyler. John and Abbie divorced about 1885 and Abbie returned to Northville, MI to live with her brother, Dr. Randall Schuyler. No further word on Jennie. Speculation is that abt 1985 she married to an unknown person. Could it have been a Mr. Glazier? A Mrs. Glazier was buried in the Schuyler plot in Ann Arbor, MI in 1918 that could have been Jennie. If it were she, she would have been 54 at this time. (Earlier posting incorrectly suggested marriage to a Dr. Childs.)
