I am looking for info on John C. Cox (Koch) and his wife Anna Madsen. They also had a nephew named Hans Cox. John changed the surname from Koch to Cox. They owned a restuarant in Big Rapids. They arrived in Mecosta abt 1872 or 1873. Also looking for info on Harry Bulmer and his wife Roseann. Harry Bulmer came from Canada in 1879 and his future wife Rose Ann Leader came in 1882. They were married in 1883 in Big Rapids and lived on a farm. Harry kept horses and hauled logs for a lumber co. Harry died in 1941. Also looking for the marriage of Bertha Bulmer and a Mr Kline or Cline in Big Rapids. This would have been abt 1920. John Cox had a brother that lived in Big Rapids and owned a Sausage Factory which burned down probably in the late 1920's or 1930's. I am also interested in finding all of their naturalization petitions as they all became citizens around 1900.

My husbands Gr-grandfather, William Wessel/Wessels was a lumberman in Newago Co. in late 1890's. He was found in 1894 census, apparently died ca. 1896 according to family info. No record has been found of his death even from state records. His widow was a housekeeper in Big Rapids in 1900. There were descendents of a son (Steven) living in that area. Hopefully, some are there now.
