Individual Notes
• Much of the information that we have was given to us by Todd’s Aunt Charlotte (Chotty) McMorran -- who died on 2 June 1991. She had done much work back in the 50’s as her aunt and father from the 90’s through the 30’s. Virtually nothing that she gave us is documented, which necessitated doing a lot of it over again. Chotty was a wonderfully bright and intelligent woman, but was a hypochondriac who became a virtual recluse. We had not seen her for about 10 years. We excited her too much and she always suffered a decline after our visits. So she simply put a stop to them. She left the contents of her house to Todd. There is much to be sifted through and we only had a limited amount of time to assess what was there. Much of it is in storage in Port Huron until we can make arrangements to bring it to Meadville. From our cursory look through family papers, the most valuable material seems to be the hundreds of photographs we discovered. As one might expect, many, many are unidentified. There are a few ‘Mills’ photos that are identified (most had to be left in Port Huron).
