MAYHEW (DE GARMO)
I am seeking any information regarding my paternal grandfather, HARRY L. MAYHEW (DE GARMO), and his family in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Harry (b.3/19/1883; d.11/1919), was the son of George F. MAYHEW and Alice E. MAYHEW (Hartshorn). He attended Ann Arbor H.S., from which he graduated in 1906, and attended the U. of Michigan for a short period. He took classes from a Professor Pattengill and a Mrs. Ruben Kempf while in high school. I know that his family corresponded with a Prof. Kelsey from the U. of Michigan. Sometime during his last years in high school Harry began using the name de Garmo, and this is the mystery that I am trying to solve. He used the de Garmo name on his passport, and assumed the name professionallly. He married my paternal grandmother in Germany in 1914, and remained in Germany during WWI. He died just prior to his return to the U.S. to begin a contract with the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York.
Alice MAYHEW, and at least two of her sisters, are buried in Forest Hill Cemetary in Ann Arbor. I have no information on George MAYHEW. I believe that Harry MAYHEW had one brother, William Franklin MAYHEW, and possibly a sister, Ruth Torrey MAYHEW. I have two addresses for Harry's family residences in Ann Arbor: 513 S. Division St., and, 507 East Ann St. My grandmother remained in Europe after Harry's death, and emigrated to this country with her second husband in 1941. My father had already moved here. Neither of them, to my knowledge, maintained any contact with Harry's family. I would appreciate any information about Harry MAYHEW, his
family or friends.

McGAHEN
Charles Herbert McGAHEN, born 11 August 1851 in NY. Married 7 July 1882 in Whitmore Lake, Washtenaw Co., MI to Adelaide Victoria TREAT. Died 17 August 1916 in Detroit, Wayne Co., MI. At the time of his marriage he gave his residence as Milan, Monroe Co., MI and his occupation as Artist. This is my great grandfather. I have no information on him prior to 1882. About 1894 Addie McGAHEN, his wife, died and Charles McGAHEN abandoned his children. By 1900 he had remarried and was living in Wayne, Wayne Co., MI. His occupation was a baker. On his death certificate his occupation was given as a retired barber. The informant was Eliza J. McGAHEN, she was another
wife or a daughter. She did not know the names of his parents. Any help on Charles McGAHEN would be greatly appreciated.

MICHAEL/MICHEL
I am looking for information on a family by the name of MICHAEL or

(Updated)Seeking Grace PHETTEPLACE, daughter of T. R. PHETTEPLACE and Rose MYRICK born 1878. My grandmother Grace PHETTEPLACE STEWART STEBBINS was born in Port Huron, May 18, 1878 to T.R. PHETTEPLACE and Rose MYRICK. Her mother died when she was very young. Her two brothers lived with her father in the Pinconning MI area, where it is believed they had a farm. At a young age an Aunt took her to live with her and after running away several times she was put in an orphanage. Later, a Minister from the Ann Arbor area took her to live with his family. Her first husband's name was STEWART, do not know date or year of marriage. When she was about 16, she came to the Detroit area to live, and married Henry LOY, my grandfather about 1900. There is some speculation that her first name was changed, but we have no information.
