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.
