Wilson Esther

wilma471 — 2013-05-01 17:31:35Z

I have hit a brick wall trying to find information on the above individual. Ethel Wilson was born in Oct 1909 in Pickford Chippewa County. Her parents were Edward Thomas Wilson & Ellen Gertrude O'Neil.

Ethel must have married before 1930 as she is not listed with her parents on the 1930 census. I found a write up that indicated that she married a George Fountain of DuTour.

I have tried both the 1930 & 1940 census' but can not find either a George or an Esther Fountain in Chippewa County or anywhere in MI.I tried searching the marriage records at the Family Search site but nothing was listed. I found an Ester M. Fountain who died 5 Mar 1997 in Oakland County but don't know if she is the correct person.

Maybe somebody who sees this can give me some information or some clues as to where else I can search.

I am looking for the grave site of John and Eliza Mitchell who settled in Pickford in the late 1800s from Huron County Ontario. I found Eliza died on September 6, 1902 and according to the death certificate is buried in Pickford. I have no information on her husband. One of her sons, Alexander, married Suzanal(Suzonal?) Smith and they had two sons John and Lloyd. I would appreciate if anyone has any information on this family and their children.

Hello Donna,

You can find the mining accident report here for Eugene Mayrand.

http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?view=image;size=100;id=md...

There is also a death certificate here showing that Eugene Mayrand died in January 1910. This record does note that he was single - not married.

Hi Rob,
That's a great tip. I'll check it out when I am in Cedarville in August, if not sooner.

My grandmother, Margaret McLeod, was a good friend of Russell Sims and one of his sisters. I have a lot of old black and white pictures she took in the World War I era if anyone is interested.

Best wishes,
Jeff

Re: Riverside Cemetery

crpreston7 — 2011-02-11 22:00:15Z

This Cemetery is managed by the City of Sault Ste. Marie. Inquire with "Parks and Recreation" in the Soo. They have records. Cemetery is well documented. There are two sections; Catholic and General burials.

Re: Stalwart Death Records

crpreston7 — 2011-02-11 21:52:07Z

Hey Jeff,

I don't know if the Presbyterian Church still has records that old or not. I would check with Jim Sims Jr. He is listed in the Pickford phone book. He managed the plots for the Stalwart cemetery for a long time. I say "used to" because I believe it has been turned over to the Township now... He's my cousin. It was his father Jim Sims that ran the Stalwart Post Office/Store/Gas Station...

I live in Cedarville. I am the Sims/Crawford/Hanna/Waybrant clan...

Re: James Thompson/Caroline Steele

roehea — 2010-10-31 22:32:42Z

Sadly, I have no photos at this time (although if memory serves me I do recall seeing a photo of Isabella and a few of her children/step-children). There is a debate over who is the mother of Mary (Steele) O'Brien - I firmly/without a doubt believe Isabella was her step-mother although some family trees have her listed as being biological (ages and limited marriage record info make it clear to me).

It appears Archibald Steele had two marriages prior to Isabella 1) Jane Houston and 2) Jane Tomkins. I believe Mary (Steele) O'Brien came from the first marriage.

On that note, in my family there is a story that Isabella left Archibald. Does anyone know anything about this, or has anyone else even heard of it before?

Stalwart Death Records

JeffChown08 — 2010-08-15 20:20:32Z

I am looking for a death certificate from about August 1891 for Samuel Hunt Martin in Stalwart. There is a stone in the cemetery, but no record up at the Chippewa court house. Were there records in the Presbyterian church there from that time period? Any help would be appreciated.

I am also a great-great granddaugter of Archibald and Isabella! My great grandmother was Caroline Steele Thompson, and grandmother, her daughter, Henrietta Thompson Thorne. Do you know where Caroline is buried? I have been trying to locate her grave. James is buried in Pinegrove Cemetery in the Sault.

Re: James Thompson/Caroline Steele

sherri49783 — 2010-05-17 03:01:22Z

My grandmother, Henrietta Thompson Thorne, was one of James and Caroline's daughters. Her daughter, Shirley Edna Thorne is my mother. Do you have any photos to share?
Is Mary Steele Archibald and Isabella's daughter?

I see Crawfords and Cleggs buried at BETHEL METHODIST EPISCOPAL CEMETERY in pckford but don't see Catherine. I see a child of James and Catherine, I see James but not Catherine. That's strange. I looked in other cemeteries in Pickford and don't see Catherin in any of the ones online.

Re: Lordson family

dalerenaud — 2009-08-07 15:33:42Z

Louis Lordson died 1/21/1900 in pickford not 1906. His death certificate says he's buried in Pickford but i couldn't find him in the cemeteries records in Pickford. Might not have a stone though. I have a copy of his death certificate. Not related. I can send you a copy just write me direct at dalerenaud@wowway.com

Re: Catherine (Crawford) Clegg Obituary

olefarmgirl1967 — 2009-06-21 14:47:50Z

Crawfords and Cleggs still live in the Pickford area as they are my dad's neighbors. We have no idea which cemetary they use though. Jimmy Clegg lives on Clegg Road and Al Crawford did. Al passed away 2 years ago and his brother Bob several years ago. Have you tried the Soo News archives?

Re: James Thompson/Caroline Steele

We are related to the O'Brien's as well. First cousins to my grandfather Alfred Lordson.

Re: James Thompson/Caroline Steele

Hi cuz!! I just found out that Archibald and Isabella are my great great grandparents as well. I am Matilda (Steele) Lordson's great granddaughter, granddaughter of Alfred and Agnes Lordson, daughter of Francis Lordson. I'm hoping to find information where Matilda's husband Louis Lordson is buried.

Re: James Thompson/Caroline Steele

roehea — 2009-06-21 00:22:14Z

Matilda was the daughter of Archibald and Isabella (Robertson) Steele. Archibald had two previous marriages and many children. Hence, the three of us are distant cousins. I descend from the Mary Steele (married Robert Francis O'Brien) branch.

I have several children listed for Caroline and James, but nothing on any descendants beyond that.

Re: Mary Jane Pennington

olefarmgirl1967 — 2009-06-08 03:27:40Z

olefarmgirl1967 — 2009-06-07 21:05:51Z

If any one has burial records for Louis Lorsdon, I would love to hear from you. He was my great grandfather and was married to Matilda Steele (Tillie) and died in 1906 I believe. He is not buried with her I do know that.

Re: West Family, Pickford Area please help!

olefarmgirl1967 — 2009-06-07 21:01:31Z

I live near Sunfield and I do believe there are still Hobson's in the area. As far as Estelle, I need more info as my family is actually from Sault Ste. Marie and Pickford.

Hi Lori,
I think the Riverside cemetary you are looking for is located in Sault Ste. Marie. Its located outside the east side of town along the St. Marys River. It would be in Chippewa County so you might search under cemetary listings there. Hope this helps. Casey Wise

Thank you so much for you information on Alfred William Fussey and his wife and daughter, it was very kind of you.

Can I ask your advice again please? How can I find out when they arrived in the States from England and which ship they sailed on? If you are unable to help I shall understand.

Are you looking for descendants of the Nebe or Fussey family? I can probably help you with the Fussey's but have nothing for the Nebe's, except for Caroline's name and the name of her parents' which you have kindly sent to me.

Brenda.
