I found Emerson on a county map of Alpena, and am pretty excited about it. Other names seem to fit this mystery perfectly, especially the Harrison Road right there by Emerson! My uncle says he was told that Joseph died "on Aunt Mabel's farm"...Mabel being Mrs. Harrison... My uncle did not know how Mabel was his aunt, but this leads me to believe that perhaps Mabel & her husband purchased the farm from Joseph or inherited it upon his death. The pieces of the puzzle are fitting! I also received an e-mail from someone stating that Dafoe is Herron, and I see a Herron Rd. near there, also. Thanks again for all your help! Stephanie
