My grandparents built a cottage on a lake in Kalkaska County back in the 1930's. The cottage was enjoyed for decades by family and friends. My grandmother sold the cottage in 1984 which was the year after my grandfather died.
My grandmother took this picture. She worked at a photo shop when she was young and loved to take pictures. She literally spent a small inheritance to buy a nice camera. She was quite a shutter bug and recorded a history of family and friends in photos. Many I am attempting to restore and share on this web site in the near future.
My grandfather's family came to Michigan from New England in the 1840's. Several of them served in the 10th calvary out of Flint Michigan during the Civil War.
My grandmothers family came to Michigan sometime between 1860 and 1870 from New York State.
