SUSAN & JAMES OBITUARIES

The obituaries for Susan and James provide some relevant details. The obituary for Susan McFarland Mitchell says in part: "She first saw a new light of day among the picturesque scenes of Forfarshire, Scotland, born in April 1830. Her maiden name was Susan McFarland...in 1851 married James..lived two years in England....16 years in Canada and remainder in eastern Emmet County." ( James was alive at the time this was written; it seems to set the last version of the spelling of her last name; month and date of birth; Forfarshire connection; marriage date; verification of time in England.) The obituary for James Mitchell says in part: "...was born in Forfarshire, Scotland on the 22nd of August 1822. " (Again, verifies a birthdate and the Forfarshire (now Angus County) connection.)
