Historic map of Macomb Township, focused on Section 30. Döscher lived closest to the intersection of 22 Mile and Garfield.
Modern comparison of the same view from the previous map. Suburbs changed the landscape from farms, as the farms changed the landscape from prairie and woodland a century and a half prior. The house is across the street from a large nursery owned by the Deneweth family, lawyers whose patriarch served as a judge in Macomb County for a long time. Their 19th century brick farmhouse is a couple miles southeast of here.
Johan Döscher (1833-1913)
Macomb Township, Macomb County Michigan.
Buried 1½ miles east in Waldenburg, his headstone uses his German name.
Many of the Germans in the area emigrated from Mecklenburg around the 1830's-1860's.
