For all of the people who are researching the Shiawassee County area, you will find a journal that was written by Francis Bowhay covering the years 1903 to 1916. It's really interesting and there is a list of surnames that are mentioned in the diary or journal. The website is http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/mi/shiawassee/7801diary.htm I'm Linda Beals and a friend let me copy the journal. I know it would have been nice if I had the time to list where you find each of the surnames, but I wasn't able to do that. Also, I'm not sure I have all the spellings of the names right, due to the handwritten journal. It might be worth the read for some of you. Francis Bowhay did tell who was married and who died on a regular basis. She wrote a few times every week for all of the period. I hope it's helpful to some of you.
