Notes - Melvin B. Ormes was born and bred at Castleton, Vermont, and as a young man went to New York state, where he lived until 1863. Coming with his family to Michigan in that year, he located in Houghton county, settling there before the railroads had penetrated into the wilds of the Upper Peninsula, the people coming here by way of the Lakes, or with teams, the mails, in the winter seasons being transported with dog teams. The country was covered with heavy timber, and he, with characteristic energy and foresight, embarked in the lumber business, first establishing a sawmill at Hancock, and later building one at Menominee, Michigan, and another at Marinette, Wisconsin. Going to Unity, Wisconsin, in 1876, he remained there about eight years. In 1884 he located in Gogebic county, establishing a sawmill near the present site of Marenisco, which was then a dense wilderness, with not a building of any description near. Engaging in the manufacture of lumber under the firm name of the M.B. Ormes Company, he continued it successfully until his death, at the age of sixty-five years.
He married Mrs. Jane (Stewart) Scott, who was born in Perthshire, Scotland, and as a child of seven years was brought by her parents to Canada, where they spent their remaining days. She married first John Scott, a contractor, who had charge of the construction of sections of several railroads passing through Ohio, his home being in Hamilton, Ohio, where he died, leaving his widow with four children, Archie, Walter, Aleck, and Katie B. Of her union with her second husband, four children were born, namely: Martha, Mary, Eugene Allen, the subject of this brief sketch, and Melvin L. The mother died at the ripe old age of eighty-four years.
