A while back someone sent me a note on the death of James b:1856 in Ca. He immigrated to the US in 1879 with his father and mother settling in Bathgate, ND. He died in the Upper Peninsula of MI. in Jan, 1908. He was hit by a train walking back to his brother Hugh's house one night. He is buried in Duluth, MN along side his wife, one daughter and one sin. I am looking for that note as I am going to MI in September and want to stop by the Records in Detroit and get a death record. Can anyone help me? Thank you net, Richard Campbell

Houghton is quite a distance from Escanaba and Spalding so there isn't a likely connection. My son has hiked Isle Royale with his dad, uncle and cousins a few times. They usually leave from Houghton. Was the Isle Royale Mill on Isle Royale then? My son said he didn't know anything about a mill...but that would have been a long time ago. Carolyn
