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!
Franklin Lewis Bisard, 1847-1933, married Elizabeth Lovenda Lamunion, 1846-1930, on 27 August 1872 in Wayland, Allegan County, Michigan. Elizabeth was Belle’s sister. Elizabeth’s surname is butchered on the Ancestry dot com marriage index as “Lamungar. ” in all fairness there was not room in the little box for her name, and it obviously (to a researcher of that name) was spelled “Lamunyon.”
Franklin was the son of Asahal Bisard and Emily Salisbury.
I have transcribed six census records from 1880-1930 for this family, and never seen Franklin’s wife name as anything but Elizabeth. I cannot explain why this card appears to be from Lewis and his mother. Another of history’s mysteries.
