Did you find any info on an Alex McRae that was not the Dr. Alex McRae? He was in Calumet in the 1880's and up. thanks, Laurel

Your assumption is correct - the state mental facility for the entire upper peninsula was located in Newberry. That is in Luce county. I also had a relative who died there and a copy of his ceath certificate was filed with the Houghton County clerk - perhaps because he was buried in Houghton. Luce count clerk is located at 407 W Harris St, County Government Bldg, Newberry 49868. Phone 906-293-5521 Jack Marion Markham wrote: > Colleen, > > Thanks.

Another bit of information on the records may be the names of relatives also working for C & H. This may lead to additional information on the extended family.

Marion- I don't know if there is a connection, but it is another coincidence. My Alexander McLeod came to Houghton County from Huron County, Ontario in the 1880's. This is directly adjacent to Bruce County. Alexander's parents, Archibald and Jelsy McLeod, are buried in the South Kinloss Cemetery in Bruce County, Ontario. This is a rather interesting site, which has many cemeteries for Ontario, Canada. I found Archibald and Jelsy here and was able to contact the Bruce County Genealogical Society for some more information on their graves. http://www.islandnet.com/ocfa/ Rick Waggener Walnut Creek, California

Hi Marion, found John MacRae, M.D. in The Northern Peninsula of Michigan book that I have, it states he has a daughter Lucia. Here is the important info from the book: He arrived in Lake Linden on October 12, 1879. He was 18 years old at the time. He was born in Bruce county Ontario on November 12, 1861. He was married in Hartford Connecticut to Eunice C. Jennison on April 12, 1901. At the time of the article they had 2 children: Allan A. and Lucia J. Will try to get the article typed up tomorrow.

Hi, everybody. I just came across a single page of a letter my mother saved. (See what happens when you clean up.) It refers to "Locke MacRae who passed on about two weeks ago." I have his DC for 1954. Locke (Lachlin) was the brother of Dr. Alex McRae who died in an accident in 1901 in Osceola Twshp.. According to the letter, there must have been another brother, John, who had a daughter, Lucia. (Knowing the Scots, Lucia is probably a nickname for something.) I think that John was also a doctor. For all of you wonderful people who have been so helpful, could you possibly find John McRae? I believe they were all born in Canada. TIA Marion Markham
