About 1/4 mile east of the intersection of South Custer Road and Ida Maybee Road/Lewis Avenue was the home of Carl Christian Johann Frederick Martin "Fred" Milhan, his wife Henrietta (Griese), and their children William, John, Wilhelmina, Anna (Godfried), Frederick, Henry and Frank.

Fred came to America in 1873 and lived to be 100 years old. He lived in Monroe for a couple of years before buying this land and building a log cabin on it. His daughter, Wilhelmina "Minnie" Milhan lived there until her death at 97 in 1973.

The picture above is how the property looked in 2020. The original house was torn down after Minnie's passing.
 

"The clipping I have of Great Uncle Frederick Milhan when he celebrated his 90^th birthday said he came to America in 1873. He located in Monroe for 2 years before moving to Raisinville Township. He built his own log house in the woods there. He purchased his land with money earned on the farms working for others, timbers from the trees felled from his own land and stone for the home's foundation was taken from the quarry opened upon his own property."
 

The quarry mentioned by Caroline Rambow is the one that was behind the property at 8031 Dixon Road where the Lavern and Walter Berns families lived in the 1950s and 1960s.
