The Romeo Observer has back issues going back to 1866, but nobody is allowed to access them, and the editor has not allowed them to be microfilmed. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 7:57 PM Subject: [MiMacomb] Old Newspapers > Last week's mention of the Utica Sentinel reminds me to ask: Where can I find > a listing of newspapers that were in northwest Macomb county circa > 1887-1930.

I am posting this information for the benefit of other researchers. CANNON -- Rev. John Cannon died July 24, 1896, aged nearly 88 years. Deceased was born in New Salem, Mass., Sept. 21, 1808. He spent most of his life, before coming to Michigan, in the state of New York. At the age of sixteen he was converted and became active in Christian work. He was married in 1830 to Sally Cook, by whom he had seven children, all of whom survive him and all of whom were present at the funeral. Mr. Cannon and his young wife came to Michigan in 1831 and settled in Lodi, Washtenaw county. He was ordained in 1834. In 1836 he came to Macomb county and in 1837 moved his family hither and made his permanent home in Shelby. Here they underwent the trials and privations of pioneer life. He traveled throughout the counties of Macomb, Oakland, Lapeer, Shiawassee, Wayne and Washtenaw preaching the Gospel and converting souls to God. His declining years were spent at his home under the special care of his two youngest daughters. His wife died in 1887, they ! having celebrated their golden wedding seven years before. From the records is gleaned the facts that Elder Cannon solemnized 245 marriages and attended 500 funerals. It is also believed that he baptized more than 1,000 souls. This is the story, briefly told, of this noble man of God, whose work on earth is ended, but whose faith looked up to a better world. He was the embodiment of all those virtues which go to make up a truly Christian character. Cannon, George H. "Memorial Report - Macomb County," in Michigan Historical Collections, v.28 (1897-98), pp.74-75.
