At the time of the marriage, Ben worked as a railroad clerk in Litttle Rock, Arkansas and Ida was a doctor's assistant. Ben is apparently buried in Linwood Cemetery^[2].

James W Getchell was born in 1844/1845 in Pennsylvania (f=PA, m=CT). James was married on 16 April 1876 in Long Lake twp. to  Emily M (A?) Davis. Henry Worthington, Minister of the Gospel, performed the service which was witnessed by E M and Melinda Davis^[3].  Emily was born in late January 1851/1852 in Baltimore, Maryland, daughter of Eugene and Ethelinda Davis .

In 1879, James owned 40 acres in Long Lake twp^[4]. In 1880, the Getchells lived on a farm in Long Lake twp^[5]. James kept a thermometer outside and in January 1884 he reported it was 27 degrees below zero. Soon afterwards a birthday party was held for Emily, with oysters served and a pleasant time had by all. James acted as township assessor in 1887 and 1888. Getchell hired Minton Willobee to work for him in May 1888.  Meanwhile, Emily had the measles. Later that year James worked for Zimmerman & Corbet cutting logs. A few months earlier it was noted that Mr. Getchel had his foot badly injured the other evening, by an ox stepping on it. The injury will confine him to the house for some time^[6].

Mr. Getchell was seriouslly in January 1891. His neighbors became concerned: J. W. Gitchel, who has been on the sick list for some time is no better. The neighbors had a wood bee on Tuesday last and cut him a nice pile of wood. He reported to be convalescing slowly, but by the end of the month was improving and by mid-February was able to get out of bed. By April he was able to go to the barn and do chores. In June 1891 the Young Folks Missionary Society met at his house^[7].

Eber worked as a farmer and his farm was worth $800 with personal property worth $600 in 1870^[22].  Eber received a land patent for 160 acres in section 7 of Long Lake twp on 1 August 1874. In 1880, the Goins farmed in Long Lake twp^[23]. The Grand Traverse Herald noted on 14 April 1881: Mr. Goin's dwelling was destroyed by a fire on last Friday. Most of the property was saved. The cause of the fire was a defective flue. The house was rebuilt and an addition added in January 1883. At the same time Eber purchased a team of horses^[24]. Eben went to Empire to work in May 1888. He was time he was visited by his friend H. W. Perry, who also came for a visit the following year. A Mr. Bell also visited and in 1889 he was working the Goin Farm while Eben was running the Norris's engine at the saw mill. Mrs. Goin visited her daughter, Mrs. Worthington, at Platte several times during the late 1880s^[25].

Mrs. Beverly visited the Goins in February 1891. Visits with their daughter continued in this year, with both Eber and Abigail traveling to and from Platte: Eber Goin returned home yesterday from a visit to his daughter, Mrs. Albert Worthington. Abigail was sick the following February:  Mrs. Goin, who has been very poorly and badly afflicted with rheumatism, for some time past, is reported some better. Her daughter, Mrs. Worthington of Platte, has been staying with her the past week. This proved not to be the case: Mrs. Goin, who has been confined with rheumatism for nearly six months past, is reported a little better at this writing. We hope for still greater improvement in the near future. She was confined to bed into the summer. Son Fred Goin visited from Turtle Lake, Wisconsin in August. Eber purchased a buggy in September 1892. One of his fine horses died that December^[26].

Abbie died on 17 February 1896 from rheumatism in Long Lake twp^[27]. The Grand Traverse Herald noted on 12 March 1886 (page 2): Death of a Pioneer. By the death of Mrs. Abigail Goin at Cedar Run, Feb. 17, the region loses one of its pioneers. She was born in Bethel, Maine, Nov. 11, 1828, was married in 1852, and came to cedar Run in 1864, making her home there ever since. She leaves five children, a larried daughter in Wisconsin, and Eber Goin, Addie Goin, Mrs. Kate Worthington, and Fred S. Goin, of Cedar Run. Few residents of the United States can follow their ancestry back farther than cound Mrs. Goin. She was a descendant of the famous sea king, Sir Thomas Drake, and fartehr back that that the family line has been traced to the conquest of Wessex by the Saxons, early in the 11th century. The family settled in Wymouth, Mass., early in the seventeenth century, and have been loyal Americans ever since.

i.              Addison M Gray was born on 13 May 1854 in St. Lawrence Co., New York. He worked as a farmer Addison committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor on 31 March 1910 in Long Lake twp^[47]. The Evening Record published an account of the incident on 31 March 1910 (page 1):

CUT THROAT WITH RAZOR

ADDISON GREY SUICIDED EARLY THIS MORNING

HE WAS DESPONDENT

HARD WORK AND WORRY OVER MOTHER'S CONDITION

For Three Years He and His Brother Tenderly Cared for Aged Woman Who May Die Before Funeral Service

Addison Grey suicided about 3 o'clock this morning by slashing his throat from ear to ear with a razor. The tragedy occurred on the farm owned by Mr. Grey and his brother Lorne in Long Lake township. The man was suffering from melancholy, brought on, it is believed by overwork and the condition of his aged mother who has been an invalid for more than three years. It is probable that the mother will die before the funeral which will be held Saturday.

Grey brothers own a 190-acre farm in Long Lake township in the Sachtleben neighborhood on which they have lived since 1884, coming from Almira, Benzie county, with their mother. Neither man married and when their mother, who is more than 70 years old, was taken ill, both cared for her tenderly. About a year and a half ago, she suffered a stroke of paralysis and since then, she has required much attention, especially at night. In addition, the men kept up their heavy farm work and this, together with the worry, so preyed on Addison Grey's mind that for some time, he has been very despondent, becoming worse about three weeks ago and for the last several days, had acting very strangely.

The two men remained up with their mother last night and about 3 o'clock this morning, Addison left the room, going directly to the shed where he killed himself, the keen razor doing horrible work. A few moments later, his brother looked for him and found him in the shed lying in a pool of blood. He carried him into the house, lying him on a couch, the man still being alive, but dying as his brother laid him down.

Two physicians were summoned from this city and although they made all possible haste to the scene, arrived too late. Coroner Minor went out this morning but no inquest was deemed necessary.

Mr. Grey was an earnest, hard working man and had the respect of the entire neighborhood, his rash act being a great shock to his many friends. he was 55 years old.

Funeral services will be held at 10 o'clock Saturday morning at the house, and the interment will be in the West Almira cemetery. Addison is buried next to his mother in West Almira Cemetery^[48].

ii.             Alandon W Gray was born 8 September 1856/1857 in St. Lawrence Co., New York.

iii.            Wilbur D Gray died when nine months old.

Josiah H Gray was born in 1851/1852 in New York (par=NY). Josiah was married on 28 June 1876 in Almira twp., Benzie County, MI to Rachel S. [L.?] Pratt. Charles W. Williams, a minister, performed the ceremony, which was wintessed by Daniel Pratt and Emma Gray of Almira^[49]. Rachel was born in 1854/1855 in New York (par=NY). Josiah worked in the lumber woods. In 1889 he was putting pine logs into the millyard from Mr. Powell's land. He moved into George Jenne's house in April 1889 and began doing log work again. He specialized in cutting pine logs into shingles and by June 1889 he was taking logs from the Whinnery farm to Norris's mill for processing^[50].

Logging took up a lot of time in 1891. In January 1891: Mr. Gray commenced hauling logs about ten days ago. The snow being thin he only puts on about 2,000 feet. Will load heavier if we get more snow. The newspaper kept track of his board feet of timber, which was at 350,000 in early February, rising to 1.25 million in April. Weather was important for logging: Sleighing is still good, and J. H. Gray is still drawing logs down the valley road with three teams, five trips each, and from two to three thousand feet to a load^[51].

He also found time to build a house over the summer of 1891. By October he returned to logging and hauling logs to the mill. Josiah Gray has purchased a handsome draft team, harness and wagon, and will do a greater lumber business than ever, the coming winter. By December he had several teams hauling logs from the south woods.  J. H. Gray sent five gangs of men into the woods this morning. Mr. Gray is doing considerable business in lumber, and we wish him success. Even when snow was bad he kept logs moving by using wheels^[52].

In January and February 1892,  Josiah made several trips to Lake Ann and Traverse City on business. He unloaded a railroad car of hay from southern Michigan in mid-February. He continued hauling logs in March, worrying the snow would melt. He offered accommodations at his home for travelers as well. When he had finished with his timber he sent two teams to Gray and Smith=s logging camp at Lake Ann. Mrs. Silas Gray and son Ed visited in April. During the summer of 1892 he hauled logs to Traverse City on railroad cars. He put a porch on his house in Septemver and was shipping beech logs to Lake Ann in October. He began a new frame house in December^[53].
