My library said there was a Michigan State census taken in 1885. But they do not have it. Does anyone know if this is correct, and if so, does it exist for Mecosta county? And was it an every household census, or just veterans? Also, does anyone know what newspapers would have been around the Morley - Deerfield area in 1885-1900? And if they exist, where would copies be found (not that I want much!) Thanks for your help gypsy
