This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: HUNGERFORD Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2FB.2ACI/1904 Message Board Post: The 1910 Census tells me that my grandfather, Colen William Hungerford, who lived in Laurium, was a "newspaperman." I am trying to find out which newspaper he worked for. Does anyone know which newspapers were being published in 1910 in Houghton County or in the Upper Peninsula? Thank you. Mimi Hungerford
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. Sometime the directory listed the occupation and exployer. Good luck.
