• Notes

  Melvin went west with his first Cousin, Fred McLellan in 1887 to cruse timber in Washington. He later (10 years) went on to Alaska as Nellie had divorced him. He never returned. He lived in Wrangle, Alaska in 1908. At one time he wrote to Margaret Church, his granddaughter by Martha. He sent several porcupine quills.
