    The Dukes of Michigan Avenue

    Decatur Metro | September 27, 2012 | 9:26 am

    Paula writes in…

    I have a small mystery for you! When we moved into our house in 2001, I found this wooden board in a closet. I set it aside, and forgot about it. I re-discovered it in a recent bought of Spring cleaning. As you can see from the picture, it seems to be part of a packing crate shipped to Mrs. Daniel F. Duke in Decatur in 1944, from PVT C.K. Duke, apparently stationed overseas. If it is a meaningful bit of family history to someone, I’d love to be able to return it to its rightful owner. The address on the board is Michigan Avenue, although we don’t live at that address. Perhaps one of your many readers knows something about the Dukes of Michigan Avenue?
