I think if I were you I'd get in contact with the Mecosta County Historic society before your visit and ask what they would suggest. I found in a BigRapids & Mecosta county directory on Heritage Quest for 1884; D. C. Fuller was living in Millbrook but was like a city official pg 21 and P92 Mecosta county directory: Fuller D. C., Lawyer and Justice of Peace,Millbrook. Since he was a Justice of the peace and Lawyer perhaps the Historical Society has more info on him. I would also check for bordering areas as well looks like Millbrook is near Morley and Isabella County but every map I find has a typo calling Millbrook ...Millbrool so just remember it is in Mecosta county. You possibly could check on records at the BigRapids Court house also as they hold many records for Mecosta County. Hope this helps some.

I would also try the Mecosta County Genealogical Society located at 424 N. Fourth in Big Rapids, just north of Recycle Mecosta Co. They would be more apt to have printed materials for research than the Historical Society. Most queries sent to the Historical Society are forwarded on to the genealogy society. The Mecosta County Genealogical Society is open on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan ----- Original Message ----- From: "jg" <lucky382001@yahoo.com> >I think if I were you I'd get in contact with the > Mecosta County Historic society before your visit and > ask what they would suggest. > I found in a BigRapids & Mecosta county directory on > Heritage Quest for 1884; D.
