Corunna Ward 1 residents

The following people can be found in the 1910 Corunna census:

In Corunna Ward 1:

Burr Eveleth, age 33.

Daniel Muzzy, age 64.  Grace also references a "Mr. Muzzy" as opposed to "Dan Muzzy".  I'm not sure if she means the same person.

Frank Peacock, age 62.

Winnie Chapin, age 22.  Winnie's case is unusual, where she is a single girl listed as a "roomer".  In the 1920 census she continues to be listed as a "boarder".  By 1930 she has married and is now Winnie Wallace.  Her parents were still living, and living in Michigan, in 1910, so it is curious as to why she wasn't living "at home". In 1910 she is working as a deputy clerk at the post office.

Next door is another boarder, Romaine Bramwell, age 22.  She is likely our "other" Romaine, who is not Romaine Buckle and has a different birthday from Romaine Buckle.  Romaine Bramwell is working as a teacher in 1910.  In the 1900 census, Romaine Bramwell is living with her widowed mother in Corunna.  Her birth month is listed as February, making it more likely that she is the Romaine whose birthday Grace lists as February 12.  This also could explain why she would leave home and start work when others her age were not.

Both Winnie and Romaine were in the Corunna High School graduating class of 1906, along with Earl and Ray Derham.

Ironed in a.m.  In evening Earl and I took Romaine with us to the club dance.  They had the stage out and the new floor all layed.

Sunday, November 1, 1908

Aunt Louise and family over in p.m.  Also Earl, Hattie, Winnie, Mable, and Romaine.  Chilt and Salem over too.  I took the girls home in evening and Earl came to meet me.  Wren's barn burned at midnight.  Did not get the milk.

Sunday, October 4, 1908

Aunt Mary, Mable, Herbert, and Uncle Theo over in p.m.  Also Winnie C., Mable W., Romaine B., and Hattie F. came along the R.R. and came up here.  We went over to Chilt's to see Salem, the Syrian boy.  Roy Derham called up and said "Earl had gone to see his brother in Ann Arbor."  Ha! Ha!  Did not get the milk.  Awful nice day and warm.

Friday, September 4, 1908

We went down to Grandma's in p.m.  I saw Mable W., W.C., Rex, Will S., Earl, and Romaine B.  Dandy day.

Thursday, June 18, 1908

Earl came up after me in evening and Romaine B. went with me to the casino to commencement exercises.

Wednesday, Feb 12, 1908

Walked downtown in p.m. and went to the club at Romaine's.  It was her birthday and we gave her a souvenir spoon.  Had a dandy time.  Awful wet and sloppy.  Stayed at Belle's all night.
