Floyd Lott's farm highlighted in blue just south of Cohoctah. His grain elevator was in town, north up the tracks from his farm.

A vintage family photo of Floyd (center) and two relatives (presumed) in dresses.

Floyd Erwin Lott Sr. (1878-1968)
Cohoctah, Livingston County Michigan.

Floyd's "Pleasant View Stock Farm" was just south of Mrs Cora Balls' "Walnut Grange Farm" and John Wrigglesworth's "Pioneer Stock Farm."

A well-lit grain elevator on a dark wintry night. A sign that says "Kent" adorns the side. They're the new owners since the Lott family auctioned it off shortly after 2020.

(East) Cohoctah c.1895. I feel like there should be a house where it says "R. Wrigglesworth Est." but maybe the illustrator couldn't fit it after mashing such a glorious name in that tiny box. Also, there's a house owned by "G. Balls" west of the train tracks lol.

Map of Cohoctah c.1915. J. Wrigglesworth owns a lot of the town. What's confusing me is that of the brothers John and Joseph, only Joseph would have been alive in 1915; but John is listed as owning the warehouses along the northern train tracks. Also, the "Walnut Grange" is owned by "Mrs. Cora Balls." 🤣 (Bottom left corner of map)

Livingston County, Michigan.

Growth from 1895-1915.

The Wrigglesworth families are buried in Gaines and Howell. Joseph's eldest brother died in the Civil War at the age of 19.
