I just happened to come across a boarder by the name of Matthew Frogde in the 1910 Census for Macville Township. This might have been my great grandfather
Matts (
Mathias) Fogde, born April 7, 1865 in Malax, Finland. Ca 1900 he lived in or near Calumet, MI, but soon after that he disappeared. A
Matt Fogde living in Brookston, MN, died in 1914, i.e. four years after the 1910 Census. According to a note at the end of the Macville Census a large number of the boarders were working on the
Soo Line Railroad construktion. Does anyone have any info on this person or any hints that might be of help?
