This summer, we are taking a trip with our son & his family. We are
hoping to stop in Saranac and find the farm that once belonged to Eldon
White. He was my daughter-in-law's great grandfather and her Dad (Rick)
remembers visiting there every summer in the late 50's & early 60's. (He
would have been anywhere from 5-10 years old) Eldon Herman & Leone Gladys
White were the great grandparents and their daughter Elaine Leone White
Young was Rick's Mom. Elaine may have spent some of her growing up years

Hello,
I am interested in the Harrington name also. Clark Harrington was our
ancestor, and also a son of Rueben and Silence (Lila) Letson. . Clark
served in the Civil War, filed for a invalid's Pension 17 Sept 1887, and
widow, Emily Smith Harrington filed 12 June 1900. If anyone runs across
information about them, or any photos, I would be thrilled. Thank you.
Judy
It sure would save you some time and hassle if you could find a volunteer to
do deed look-up for you before you go.
You could also try contacting the Ionia County Genealogical Society.
If you can provide me with a little more info, dates of birth and such, I
might be able to find something in the directories at ancestry.com.
