This entry is part 99 of 99 in the series Deeds in the Family

I am posting information gleaned from land records in the areas where our family’s ancestors resided. You can read more about this project in the overview. You may also check my deed record listing , which I will update often.

Write something here.

Description: Lot # 19 in bloc 37 in Geo. A. Mitchell’s Plat of the NW1/4 of Section 3 in T21N R9W

 

The plat can be found in the Michigan Subdivision maps. Here is the portion of the plat which contains the lot described in the deed, which is at the corner of Prospect and Chapin Streets. If you are not familiar with Cadillac you would not realize that Chapin is a nearly east/west street. It is certainly not evident from this map. The current address of this property is 452 East Chapin street. Unfortunately, Google Street Views are rare in Cadillac, and do not include this house.

17-493

On the 1900 census, William and Elizabeth (Long) Kaiser were living on Wood Street; that street is know known as Mitchell. Maybe a subsequent deed will show his disposition of this property.

Mount Carmel Cemetery, Cadillac, Wexford, Michigan – Lot C-15

September 16th, 2009 | Posted by Granny Pam in Cemeteries | Granny's Ancestors - (0 Comments)
This entry is part 41 of 60 in the series Cemeteries

This cemetery is just inside the city limits on the south. It is on the west side of U.S. 131 (also Mitchell Street) as you enter the town.

This is one of two cemeteries that a cousin and I visited in 2002. She is a Long descendent, and some of these graves are people who are unrelated to “my” family; they are probably related to her.

All underlined names are linked to photos. Use your browser’s back button after viewing a picture.

We reviewed the lot card for this lot in the St. Ann Church records. Bernard J. Long is listed as the owner of this lot.

Long

Bernard Joseph Long, 1876-1954 and his wife Valeria Thibeaut Long, 1882-1959. Bernard Joseph was a nephew of my 2nd great-grandmother, Elizabeth Long Kaiser, and my first cousin, 3 times removed.

Rosalie, 1914-1914

Margarete Long, 1903-1907

Mitchell

Della Thibeaut

Pomeroy

Beverly Ann, 12/5/1929 age 3 weeks, according to the cemetery lot card. It is impossible to tell if the date is a burial date or a death date.

Eugene Francis, 11/11/1928, age 1 month according to the cemetery lot card. Again, I could not tell if the date was a burial date or a death date.

Bernard Long, with a date of 27 February 1913 is also listed on the front of the lot card, but not on the back, which shows the grave locations. Bernard Long, also known as Benjamin, died on 27 February 1913 in Cadillac, Wexford, Michigan. He was my cousin’s grandfather, my 2nd great grand-uncle. My cousin related that her mother said the family had promised him he would be buried with his wife in Ontario, Canada when they convinced him to come to Cadillac, Michigan after she died.
