Belle’s Box – D10

This entry is part 348 of 372 in the series Belle's Box

You can read about Belle Lamunion, 1864-1848, and her amazing box of family memories here. Belle married Henry H Fellows, 1858-1905 in 1879 in Ashland Township, Newaygo County, Michigan. Read about this series of posts, regarding items in a box originally owned by Belle (Lamunion) Fellows Tinker here. The cast of characters is located here. And, there is an accounting of people about whom I have little information here.

When I took Belle’s Box to a reunion, several people took cards that were connected to their direct ancestors, and I am glad. I did take photos of as many of them as I could before they disappeared. This group of posts are those that I did get photos of.

Bell george aint bin seen here since him & Hazel was here respet
George w Jones

This missive most likely refers to Belle’s brother, George Lamunion. Perhaps Belle sent a card to George Jones asking if he had seen George Lamunion. I believe the siblings had a complicated relationship, based on rumors and hearsay. My research did reveal that Belle mortgaged a property in Newaygo county to post bond for George when he was accused of stealing a team of oxen. There is more, but I can’t prove any of it right now.
