Judge John D. Erskine
Allenville, Michigan
The post office in Allenville, was run by my Great Grandfather J.D. Erskine. He also was the Magistrate or Judge, had a bed & breakfast, a local grocery store.
I'll have to look up some info. & some pictures to send you. I know he used to marry people. He was quite a practical joker.

This is the Store/P.O. etc...The building next to it is the Town Hall (then) which he donated an acre for the township to build it there. The darker looking building beyond that is where my Grandpa John C. Erskine lived. But I sure don't remember it looking like that. |
