BOOK: WOOD FIRE SAUNAS AND IRON MINES: A LIVING HISTORY OF MICHIGAN’S UPPER PENINSULA (Hometown Memories series) copyright 2014 page 43 “Grumble Seats” by Clarice Cocco of Caspian, Michigan born 1916 (excerpt)
My great-grandfather was owner of the Kinney iron ore mine. Spring Valley was built on his property. My great-grandparents came to the Upper Peninsula in 1882. Brother and sister and their families walked 40 miles from the end of the railroad. All forested country.
BATES TOWNSHIP LEGACY 1885-1985 centennial book pages 69-71 "Lovinas & Eliza Hall Family: Family of Pioneers" (excerpt)
Lovinas was also one of the superintendents for the Fifth Annual Exhibition of the Iron County Agricultural Society, which was held on Thursday and Friday, September 17th and 18th, 1896, in Iron River. Only four departments existed at the time: Department A (livestock), John S. Kinney; Department B (grains), William Greig; Department C (household articles), Mrs. William R. Hopkins; and Department D (farm tools), Lovinas Hall. The premium book for that year (1896) is in the archives of the Iron County Museum. No records exist on the society's establishment before that date.
