Provisional 1890 Census Data
North & South Manitou Islands, Michigan (Partial)

=======================================================================
Source Information
=======================================================================
Original data: In January of 1891, the Michigan State legislature took
up consideration of a petition submitted by residents of North and 
South Manitou Islands, requesting that the islands be taken out of
Manitou County and annexed to Leelanau County. The petition was
apparently submitted before that session, perhaps having been circulated
and signed during the previous year. Although both journals appear to be
referencing the same petition, signers listed in the Journal of the 
House of Representatives appear to all be from North Manitou Island, 
while those listed in the Journal of the Senate appear to have all been 
from South Manitou Island. Lacking any other census data, these names 
are listed here as a resource showing at least some of the people living 
on the islands in 1890.

Text listing compiled by ManitouIslandArchives.Org, January 2012.
