From the Ontonagon Herald on Saturday, November 13, 1943:

Albert Stark Passed Away Suddenly

Albert Stark passed away suddenly Sunday afternoon. He has worked in and around Ontonagon for some time and is well known here.

The body was shipped from the Driscoll Funeral Home to the Wichmann Funeral Home at Appleton, Wisconsin Monday morning where Mr. Stark's brother Arthur resides.

This is the entire obituary. It was on the front page of the Herald. I'll check to see if there is a follow up to it.

Albert Stark - died November 7, 1943

ggmdam1 — 2009-09-18 16:11:26Z

Wondering if someone could look up a death record for Albert Stark aho died November 7, 1943. He was born in Outagamie County, WI, story goes he died in a lumber camp. No one seems to know if he was sick or if there was an accident.

Thank you.

Re: Adolph Pietila and Family

SheriD56 — 2009-09-03 10:44:38Z

There is a G. Adolph Pietila buried in the Maple Grove Cemetery in Greenland. His headstone reads that he was born November 24, 1876 and he died June 30, 1923. I'm assuming that the G stands for Gustaf. I don't see a wife buried with him although maybe she is and there just isn't a marker.

Hope this helps.

That name is a hard one to find as it is so often spelled
wrong. There is a new beta test site with many Michigan
rocords on it but it may be a long search. You have to be creative in spelling. You can search by just first name and put in the county and it will automatically fill it in or by last name.
Here is the link

It has some other states as well but I have only used it in mich. so far.

Mahon/Mahan, James wife Theresa Mangan-1860

2009-03-04 15:14:01Z

My e-mail has changed. Please contact me directly at pepperjaq@comcast.net.

James & Theresa came to the U.S. in the mid to late 1850's or 1860 from Ireland with their two young sons Michael b. 1853 & Edward b. 1855. They are on the Ontanogan 1860 census with their 3rd child Mary born in OH.

I have twice rec'd a copy from the Nat'l. Archives of the Dec. of Intent James signed in 1860 in Ontanogan but have never found that he became a NA.

Does anyone know if these records might be in the Ontanogan Dist. Court records and are they accessable?

James was a blacksmith and this family later moved to Houghton. They had a total of 8 children. James died in Houghton in 1904 and theresa died there in 1910.

I have been unable to find which port or ship they came to the U. S. or the port they left from, or the exact year. Can anyone help even with suggestions.?

There are Mangans in the same MI area at the same time but again, I have been unable to connect or get further info.
Thanks for ANY help!!!

Re: Does anyone have info on Vaughnsville?

joanwedemeyerandjillmccain — 2009-03-04 14:53:58Z

Alicia:
My gg grandfather was William Alexander Johnston. We estimate he was born in early 1820's or late teens from census records, in either Canada, New York, or Ohio. He is of Scottish or Scotch/Irish descent. He married Christina Otto (Prussian) sometime in early 1850's. He is listed as a farmer in the 1860 census and all the children are listed as being born in Vaughnsville, Michigan (6 of them) starting in 1856.
At this point, we are looking at all angles including the mines. Everyone in the family, including Christina, is buried in Chicago and, in fact, the family took great pains to transport them here to be buried together when they passed in other places. That is quite unusual for 100 years ago when refrigeration wasn't readily available.
There is no evidence of him being with the family past 1860 and as I said, subsequent censuses list Christina as still married, not widowed. We have no evidence he was in the war. We have not found him in the California Gold Rush either. I have not found him in what little land records I could find. I have not found him in Lutheran church records. (I was told alot of the parsonages kept the records in their homes and didn't necessarily pass them on to be recorded.)
I have periodically checked the Houghton, Ontonogan, and Kewenaw sites with no success. If you live up there, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jill

Re: Does anyone have info on Vaughnsville?

joanwedemeyerandjillmccain — 2009-03-04 14:53:08Z

Thanks Alicia:
My ancestor had to have been living there around the time of the founding of the town. His family ended up migrating down through Wisconsin (Sheboygan) and ended up in Chicago. Sometime between 1860 and 1870 he is not with his wife and children anymore, yet she is listed as married and not a widow on the 1870 census. As you seem to have alot of info on the area, do you have any idea how I would get owner and tenant records for that timeframe? Do you know where there are lists of who was working at that mine at the time? Any info would be helpful, as I have been at a blank wall for 10 years on this particular ancestor. Thanks so much, Jill

Does anyone have info on Vaughnsville?

joanwedemeyerandjillmccain — 2009-03-04 14:51:55Z

Does anyone have info on Vaughnsville, Michigan? May have been in Ontonagon or Houghton counties. Came in and out of existance within about 20 years around the 1840's or 50's. Does nayone know the purpose of founding the town? Farmers? Miners? Sailors? Are there cemeteries nearby? Where would the town records likely be kept now, if any?

If there are any Michigan history buffs out there, I would appreciate any info you may have or be able to direct me to (I do not live in Michigan). Thanks so much.

I just happen to be trying to find a final resting place or obituary on a James Johnston in the Canada/Michigan area for somewhere between 1901 and 1906. Would you mind sharing any other essential parts of the obit that you have for James Johnston's accidental death and maybe we are trying to piece together the same James Johnston's line. I also have found that there was a Baltimore Township Michigan also. Possibly other info from the obit would help us both to figure it out. My e-mail add is jeeck@bscn.com. Thanks.

Photographer Christian Raven was at work in Ewen, Ontonagon between 1884 (earliest) and 1900 (at the latest).

Any information about Andreas (Andrew) Liljegren and Christian Raven is valuable to me.
