Notes
a. Note:   Information from Lucille Warner via Nancy Zimmerman Dunham: "Isaac L. Brown was born in Clinton County on July 11, 1857. Elk Rapids Progress - Thursday, January 21, 1897 - Atwood: 'It is reported that Isaac Brown has sold his farm to John Smallegan.' January 28, 1897 - Atwood: 'Isaac Brown went to Central Lake on Thursday to cut the timber off 35 acres for E.W. Coulter of Charlevoix. Ike is an expert with the ax.' February 11, 1897 - Atwood: 'Isaac Brown has moved to Central Lake, where he has purchased a farm of the Cameron Lumber Co. We are sorry to lose Ike, but he thinks he has made a good exchange.' February 18, 1897 - Atwood: 'Isaac Brown starts for Portland, Oregon today, and says he intends never to return. Foreign hills are always green, and he may yet thinnk that the Grand Traverse region is all right.' On May 8, 1899 he was married to Stella Landrith at Lorane, Oregon. Their three children were born in Lorane, Oregon: Hazel Laura - January 25, 1900, Robert Lewis - September 4, 1902, and Archie Leston - October 6, 1904. Their daughter, hazel told me while they lived in Oregon her father raised hops on a rented farm but had to give that up because of a nervous breakdown. while he was recovering from that illness he worked for a company running a prune dryer. Their home was located in a wilderness. All her dad had to do was open the door and shoot deer for their supply of meat. It was quite a distance to walk to Grandma Landrith's house, having to cross a bridge on the way. When Hazel was just a baby, they would put her in a burlap sack and carry her. One day Isaac was flipping a coin to decide whether he should stay in Oregon or move back to Michigan. His wife told him it didn't matter which way the coin landed, he would never be happy until he moved back to Michigan. Shortly after that they packed up their belongings, boarded a train and headed for Michigan. They traveled through Canada and to Minnesota, stopping in St. Paul for two days, where Isaac had lived as a child with his parents, before continuing on to Eastport, Michigan. The family stayed with Isaac's brother and wife, John and Jeanette. They lived in a log house owned by Seymour Bennett while they built a house in Eastport, and later moved to Atwood (across the road from the general store). In January, 1924, after purchasing the 80-acre farm (the old Charles Hogan Place) from Robert Matchett, in the Clarke neighborhood in Norwood Township, they moved into the Ethan Jolliffe farmhouse (known as the John Jolliffe farm) in February, 1924 while building their house. The family moved into their new home in April, 1924. As Hazel said, 'My father never stayed in one place very long'. Isaac was Scotch and Pennsylvania Dutch. Stella was Indian and French. Charlevoix Courier - Wednesday, November 24, 1909 - Atwood: 'Ike Brown, who went to Oregon thirteen years ago, never to come back, is here and glad to be back. Foreign hills are always green.' Jiles Warner purchased their farm in April, 1941, and Isaac and Stella moved to Charlevoix. Isaac has been in failing health for several months and had been a patient at the Charlevoix hospital for nine weeks. He died July 1, 1946 at the age of 88 years. Interment was in the Lakeview Cemetery at Eastport. His wife, Stella, was born in Lorane (near Eugene), Oregon, October 28, 1880. In 1949 she married James R. Emery who died in September, 1957. They lived in Charlevoix. She died June 25, 1958 at an East Jordan convalescent home where she had been a patient for one day. She had been a patient at the Charlevoix hospital for two weeks prior to entering the nursing home. Burial was in the Eastport Cemetery." --------------------------------- From the 1900 Lane County, Sinslaw Precinct, Oregon Census: Brown, Isaac C. H WM Jul1858 41 M1 MI MI MI Farmer Stella M.
