The probate file of Russell Day

 

FamilySearch. 28 Feb 1879.

Fred E. Day's father, Russell Day, died in Detroit on 20 April 1877. His widow, Eliza E. Day, filed a petition for his estate, and named her three children, R. Delaney Day, Brayton C. Day, and Fred E. Day in the record.



By July 1885, Eliza and her two surviving sons Brayton and Fred, sold the family home for $7075. The proceeds from the sale likely helped Fred move to Nashville and restart his music career.

FamilySearch. Wayne County, MI. Deeds.
