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. She married Charles “Charlie” Tinker on 15 July 1914 in Cadillac, Wexford 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!

This one was tough to read. It seems that Lewis Bisard, Elizabeth’s son, was cutting and pulling logs out of the woods to cut up, and that Charlie Tinker had gone down to help. Lew must have needed more help.
George must have been George Lamunion, a sibling of Belle and Elizabeth. Scott refers to Merritt Winfield Lamunion, another sibling. George Lamunion died in 1932; Scott in 1935. Scott’s wife, Emma Adelia Widger passed away in 1929, her death certificate documents her illness of Intestinal Nephritis and mitral insufficiency. It is possible that she was not feeling well when this card was written.
