Grave stone for Charles Wesley Bishop, b. 28 Mar 1842 Essex Co., NY, d. 26 Sep 
1931, Alger Co., MI.

He died at the County Poor Farm and was buried in the Maple Grove Cemetery.  
No permanent marker existed.  I had this stone placed there in 2005, and 
visited the cemetery when I took this picture in October 2005.

He migrated to Marquette, MI, in about 1850 with his grandfather Basil Bishop 
and father Dellivan Delance Bishop and their families.  He married Florence 
Jane Brotherton on 18 May 1864, and they lived in Marquette for a few years.  
They later moved to Escanaba, Delta Co., MI.  Florence died there on 15 
November 1895.  Sometime between 1900-1910 he moved to Tooele Co., UT, leaving 
there about 1920 to Alger Co., MI, where it is believed he lived with his son 
William Marion Bishop until his son's death 7 Jan 1922, when he then probably 
moved to the Poor Farm.
