There is a book called "Michigan Ghost Towns". See if it's at your local library. That would probably be your best source for a town that just disappeared.

I have no idea where that was and it doesn't show up on any old records of place names in Michigan. I have a feeling that it was somewhere in the eastern part of Michigan, since that is where most of her sisters and brother were born. No one else was born in Lake End.
