A HISTORY OF IRON COUNTY MICHIGAN by Jack Hill "Stambaugh Township" page 107 (excerpt)
It may be of interest at this point to recall some of the early settlers who made their way to the area while it was still a part of Iron River Township and whose kin continue to reside in the district. Among these was James Waldron, who came in the year 1882. Most of these pioneers chose to settle in the village which is now the City of Stambaugh.
