Notes
a. Note:   Joseph W. Sturman was the oldest of six children born to his parents William George Sturman and Martha E. Perrin. He was born on July 16, 1895, probably in Arenac County, Michigan. By 1910 he had moved with his parents to Redford Township, Wayne County, Michigan, and grew up there on his parents' farm. On October 10, 1917, Joe married Ina M. Westlake in Redford Township. Joe's grandfather, Charles Thomas Sturman, was a half-brother to Ina's grandmother, Sarah Currin, making them half second cousins. Both of these families had moved to the Redford Township area from England and remained in close contact. Joe and Ina one daughter born to them, Evelyn, who died trajically when she was six years old. I believe Joe spent most of his life as a salesman of one sort or another, although in the 1940 census he was listed as an oil driller. In 1920 he was listed as an auto salesman and in 1930 as a real estate salesman. On September 11, 1988, Joe died in Garden City, Michigan. He is buried with Ina and daughter Evelyn in the Grand Lawn Cemetery in Detroit. - Rick Waggener ============ From the 1900 Federal Census of Arenac County, Michigan; Turner Township, district #26, page 13 B, taken June 16- 18, 1900, household #240; from genealogy.com.
