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. The cast of characters is located here. 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 was able to photograph. There were duplicate photos so when I renumbered the photos to titles I could use, I deleted the dupes. Missing numbers do not mean missing items!

Mr & Mrs Tinker.
Well here we are another year almost gone. I saw your names in the Muskegon Chronicle when you returned home from Grant. I was in Grant once this summer. Paul has a good job as operator at the electric plant so we are lucky. he has 1 1/2 miles to drive so we have a new Ford Sedan. I would like to see you folks drive in here some day. some snow here but not very cold. write and let us know how you are.
Sincerely your friends Paul & Lulu Strong, 102 Griswold St.
I cannot identify the relationship of the Strong family to Belle. On the 1920 census of hart, Oceana County, Michigan, I find Paul Strong with wife Lulu. He was a farmer. In 1930, Paul and Lulu Strong were living on Griswold St., in Hart, Oceana, Michigan. He was an engineer in a light and power plant. So it seems that the Strong family did better than many people in the depression.
