Note: Susan Armitage Perrin was the seventh of eleven children born to her parents William Armitage and Margaret Campbell. She was born on July 12, 1852 in the town of Oakwood, Mariposa Township, Victoria County, Ontario, Canada. Susan's mother died in 1862, when Susan was about ten years old and it appears her father probably died not too long after this. In the 1871 Census she and her younger brother Elias are living in the household of their older sister Martha and her husband Daniel Russell Lee, leading one to believe that she probably lived with them after her father died. Susan married Daniel Perrin in Lindsay, Ops Township, Victoria County, Ontario, on January 1, 1873. Apparently she and Daniel immigrated to Michigan sometime during that year of 1973. Her first child, Martha E. Perrin, was born in AuSable, Iosco County,Michigan on December 1, 1873. There were four other children born to Susan and Daniel, all in that general area: William John (1875), Margurite (1877), Daniel Regnor (1878) and Pearl Lillian (1885). In the 1900 census Susan and Daniel are listed in Arenac County, Michigan, apparently near Au Gres. Arenac County was formed out of Bay County in the early 1880's, and Au Gres was in Whitney Township in Arenac Township, meaning that they were probably on the same farm in 1880 and 1900. They are listed in Turner Township, Turner Village, in 1910 and 1920. This is close to Au Gres, but it seems to show that they must have moved between 1900 and 1910. In the 1920 census, Daniel is listed as a blacksmith. Presumably they remained in Turner Village until Daniel reportedly died in 1925. Susan lived another 16 years after Daniel's death. She died at the age of 88 years old on July 26, 1941, in Southfield, Oakland County, Michigan. Daniel and Susan are buried together in the Whittemore Cemetery, also known as the Saints Cemetery, just outside the town of Whittemore in Iosco County, Michigan. This is just north of Turner Village. Rick Waggener =============== From the 1861 Canadian Census, in Mariposa Township, District 5, Victoria County, Ontario, Canada.

The cemetery is on the M-65 highway, which runs through Whittemore, and is about 1 mile south of Whittmore, on the right side of the road. This appears to be about 5 miles north where Daniel and Susan were living in Turner Township, of Arenac County, Michigan. Their headstone reads: Perrin Daniel S. 1848-1925 ---------------- Susan 1852-1941
