Hi, I see posts from others whose family lived in the UP and the posters now live out here in the SF Bay Area. My UP'ers came to Berkeley, California beginning in 1907, John W. RULE; 1913, George William HIGGINS and wife Mary Jane RULE; 1914, William George HIGGINS; 1917 (about), Thomas PAYNTER and wife Harriet Ann RULE and children; and 1918 John M RULE and wife Elizabeth MARTIN. The last couple were born in Cornwall 1829/1830, but lived for over 50 years in the UP. They died in Jan 1919. Their last home in the UP is still on M-26. Their children were all born in the UP. This group along with William BOURBONNAIS and wife, Sheldon LANCTOT and family, the OTTO's, and others belonged to a club called the Michigander Club which would meet at the home of various members, and or local swim clubs and parks. When friends and relatives would come west to visit, they would join in these meetings. If there were meeting at someone's home, there would be card games (Whist) in the evening, with a buffet around mid-night. My mother remembers being awakened to join the adults for the buffet. Have any of you heard of the Michigander Club? Were your families members? Cat Nielsen Berkeley, CA

Michigan Tech College archives have the newspapers in their collection. I went with my cousin a few months back and he found all the old obits from his family there. Finlandia also had many copies of the old Finnish newspapers. I recently donated 99 issues of the old Paivalehti newspaper to them that i had bought on Ebay. It was in the old Gothic type print and i couldnt translate them. Alicia >> > > > > > Hi. Thanks for writing.

I bought the above book and it is facinating! It contains the following chapters by these Authors: Evidence of prehistoric man on Lake Superior, John T. Reeder Old Keweenaw by Rev. Jospeh A. Ten Broeck Reminiscences of Old Keweenaw Mrs W. A. Childs A sketch of John Senter of Houghton Ascension Church at Ontonagon Jon. Alfred Meads >From Vermont to Lake Superior in 1845 ,George W. Thayer It has many interesting local stories: Here is part of one, It makes me wonder what happened to this "slab".... They found the Indian truly loyal to the pale faced brother. He stood ready to guide his canoe and furnish him with the products of the hunt, meat for his hunger, fur for his market, to run his errands and to carry his messages. Over the dying race as seen in Keweenaw we may quote the mutilated inscription on the slab beneath Brockway Mountain near Copper Harbor. Beneath this slab a red man's body lies. Once to his tribe an honor and a prize. But Death relentless his.......days hath numbered o'er. His bow string like his bones will carry death nor more. O stranger! Pass not reckless o'er this lonely sod. But hesitate and think here lies the image of your God. Through wild and savage..... Yet his heart..... Also, The first white child born was Sally Brockway , later known as Mrs. Sally Scott born in L'anse. Mr John Hays had in the year 1844, opened the first successful mine in the region.His old shaft, 75 feet deep is yet seen a few rods west of the Fort (Wilkins) buildings. Alicia Marshall

Check with the Houghton County Historical Society in Lake Linden MI - 906-296-4121. I understand that they have many of the old newspapers in their archives. If you know the date of death they can look for an obit. for you.

Some of the newspapers up there were: The Keweenaw Miner, Mohawk Calumet News, Calumet The Copper Island Sentinel, Calumet The Daily Mining Gazette, Houghton Portage Lake Mining Gazette, Houghton Native Copper Times, Lake Linden. Not sure what years they were published. You could try contacting either the Archives at the Michigan Tech Library or the Houghton County Historical Society to see if someone could check the Polk Directories for the newspapers or for your grandfather's name.

The Daily Mining Gazette Oct. 2, 1899 Houghton, Michigan Calumet-Laurium Section A SUPERVISOR IS CALLED DOWN Did Not Report Any Births or Deaths in His Township - Hopes To Next Year A township officer states that according to the returns made to Lansing by a supervisor of one of the northern townships in this state, which was recently received by a state official, the report failed to show that there had been any births or deaths in his township during the year. This being such an unusual circumstance, the state authorities thought an error had been made, and this supervisor was accordingly written to for an explanation. He promptly replied that he had been supervisor of that township for a number of years, and knew of no birth or death occurring in it during that period. He also vouchsafed the information that the population was made up if a shifting body of railroad and lumber employees, most of whom had no families, and who remained in any one place only a short time. Then he added this: "P.S. A couple got married here last week. If they don't starve to death this winter, I will report them next year." Pat --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
