Miss Halloween Hatch

From the Lapeer Democrat, published August 7, 1901:

Miss Effie Armstrong is home from Detroit and her lake trip. Her cousin Miss Halloween Hatch is expected here Saturday.

The 1900 MI Census (Wayne Co., Detroit) lists Halloween C. Hatch in the household with her parents, Horace & Corrine Hatch, and siblings Grace and Sidney.

Thank you so much for posting this. I was working on my genealogy and discovered through the 1900 Census that Halloween was related to me. Went searching the internet to figure out if perhaps her name had been misspelled on that document. I guess not. ;o)

She had one of the most interesting names that I've encountered. Glad you could use the posted information.
