I've "rescued" an old photograph taken at the Northup Studio in Bangor,
Michigan which includes Kate SHUVER, Frank CLEVELAND, Frank CLARK, Pearl
DRAKE, and two others identified as "Donovan" and "Leon". It is possible
that both "Donovan" and "Leon" are also from the DRAKE Family since there
are simply dashes between their names and that of Pearl DRAKE, but I am not
sure.
The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with all
those in the photograph appearing to be in their teens to 30's. Based on
limited research I was able to gather some information regarding the people
in the photograph:
George Franklin "Frank" CLEVELAND b. 23 Mar 1864 in Arlington, MI to parents
Peter Aiken CLEVELAND (b. 20 Mar 1817 in Porter, NY) and Clarissa Ann DRAKE
(b. 18 Sept 1838 in Porter, NY). Frank was one of 7 children born to this
couple including, Eri Dillman; John Charles; Walter Summer; Jennie Jane;
George Franklin "Frank"; Amelia Etta; and Evaline CLEVELAND all born in Van
Buren Co. MI between 1855 and 1870.
Frank married Elizabeth NORTHRUP (b. 10 Sept 1868 in Hartford, MI) and
together they had 4 children including, John Lee; Earl Morris; Edna Lovicie;
and another unnamed child, all born between 1890 and 1905 in Arlington, MI.
Leon R. DRAKE b. 12 Aug 1886 in Bangor Township, MI to parents Joshua Cope
DRAKE (b. 11 Feb 1817 in Long Point Bay, Ontario, Canada) and Mary Elizabeth
CLARK (b. Mar 1845 in NY). Leon was one of 4 children born to this couple
including, Leone C.; Earle Lorenz; Myrl D.; and Leon R. DRAKE all born in
Van Buren Co. MI between 1880 and 1886. Leon married Bertha May DOBBYN (b.
8 Feb 1886 in MI) on 24 Oct 1904 in Berrien Co. MI and together they had 6
children including Pearl Alma; William Elroy; George Walter; Mary; Earl; and
Leon DRAKE all born in MI between 1906 and 1921.
Kate SHUVER b. 10 Aug 1877 in Waverly, MI to parents John H. & Isabelle
SHUVER. Kate died in July 1966 in Bangor, MI.

I am hoping to locate someone from one of these families so that this
wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of their family. If
you are a member of one of these families, or if you know someone who might
be, please contact me.
