Copper Harbor Notes a Dwindling Town and Rail Gap
Copper Harbor Michigan once a bustling town now reportedly has only two residents. Mrs Ralph Rogers, who settled there in the 1860s, moved to Calumet at age 60 and had never seen a railroad, with the nearest line 25 miles away. Kinonen, a Copper Falls miner, killed his wife and two sons in their sleep on the 16th and then took his own life, perhaps in despair over job prospects, while the wife and two boys were reported alive in serious condition. Mining Journal reports Father Kehoe too ill to tend his Ishpemining parish, a setback for his friends in Ironwood and former Ishpeming pastorate.
