The Jacob Luke family lived in or near Mecosta. Henry Maxwell said that when he was a boy he visited Jake in Lake City, Michigan. (Source: Jerene Maxwell)

On Jake's marriage application in 1889, his age was listed as 24 which would conflict with information on death certificate and tombstone. Informant for death certificate was Jake Luke, Jr.

Also known as: Pe-tro-we-ga-sclick (his Indian name)
Burial: West Wheatland Cemetery, Mecosta, Michigan
Cause of Death: Appoplexy/Arterio Scherosis

Notes for MARY LUCINDA JOHNSON:
Mary's monument at Wheatland Cemetery shows a birthdate of 1870, not the 1866 as listed on her death certificate. Since her age was listed as 19 when applying for her marriage license in 1889, it would appear that she was born in 1870. The informant for the certificate was Mrs. Roy Bouck, Lowell, Rt. 3, Michigan.

Supplemental information on the Johnson family tree was submitted by Fern Johnson Cross.
