I have a Michigan Counties book, 1984, that lists a Dryburg (town) in
Chippawa County, sw of Rudyard. It is also on the 1953 Michigan Highway
map. My Michigan History Book, 1937, revised 1950 does not list a
Drybarge County (has 1940 populations)
There are 2 Benard's listed in the 1920 census, both in Chippawa Co.
One in Rudyard, and the other in the Soo (Sault Ste Marie)
