Posted on: Alpena County, Mi Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Alpena?read=423 Surname: Boulton, Pulford, Van Sipe ------------------------- I am not researching Johnston but my ancestors came early to Alpena & I have collected data. From "History of the Lake Huron Shore" p-224 Alpena Co. stated "James M. Johnston (no info on middle name) native of Canada, resident of Alpena since 1865, Carpenter by trade. 1875 purchased interest in Mill property, now owed by Brebner & Johnston, & has been a partner since." Also Alcona Co. section p-268 mentions a John Johnston. Lumbering business in Alcona 1865 ect. firm Johnston, Haynes & Co. John Johnston, Elijah Haynes, James Beard & F.H. Vanderburg all of the City of Port Huron, MI.In the spring of 1871 John sold out interest. No other info. From Evergreen Cemetery Book; Buriel James M.Johnston 17 June 1904 & Elizabeth E. Dec 26, 1927(both have headstones). Original section(C) 305. Also in that section; Johnston Frank B. 1877-1911 & Maybelle 1880-1858. I looked at death recrods Alpena but found none for James M. Johnston in June of 1904 so maybe died out of county. Vicki
