Couple of cool pics - 07/10/22 01:41 PM
In the first pic is my great-great grandmother in her bearskin coat with a few bears hanging. On the left is her husband and on the right is her son, my great grandfather, Ray. Ray lived in the UP of Michigan and was the official state hunter/trapper for the area, as well as a game warden during the early 1900’s until the 1930’s
The second photo is of one of his bear traps and hangs in my Aunt’s garage in the UP. It is a Newhouse No. 5
