In speaking with Rosemary Irwin, I found out her mother, Louise Lowetz, is doing well at 92 years old. Their home on White Birch Road, off Brevort Lake Road, was shipped by railroad in 1925 from Sears and Roebuck Company, Rosemary says. Prior to that time, the family lived in a log home down the road. Rosemary also said her grandfather, William J. Lipnitz, had written a book, “History of Moran,” dated 1934-1936.
