Blake (born in 1885, son of E. F. Blake and .nie M. Goss) in Cadillac, Michigan. There is no indication of what happened to the marriage, but probably divorce? When Laura remarried, however, she retained the name Blake after her maiden name. She and Charles Blake had one child: Lavina M. born on 11 October 1908/1909 (passed away 24 July 1982 in Saginaw) who remained with Laura when she remarried Charles Pearson a few years later. Lavina M. Blake was married John Scully (1904-1985) and is buried in Mt. Olivet. re: Looking for info. on a male with surname Blake.He is said to have had a junk yard in Cadillac,Mi. in the forties an early fifties.He died sometime in the early to mid. fifties,in Cadillac. The only info. I have is that he was possibly married to a woman named Laura Tossey,born 2 june 1889 in Ludington, Mi.died in Saginaw,Mi.13 july 1958.They would have been married prior to 1911. Thank You for any info. on this. p.s. Would anyone know how I might find info.on junk yards in Cadillac,Mi.prior to 1965?
