1935, in Brookport, IL to Owen Stephen
Kineman and Mildred Fern Riepe, died May
31, 2021, in Charlotte.
Jack’s first 20 years were farm living and
attending K-12 in Brookport, IL then to
Paducah, KY Junior college for two years.
Paducah is where he met his wife, Lavinia
``Carolyn” Milner. They married September
14, 1957 and lived in West LaFayette, IN
while Jack earned his Civil Engineering
degree at Purdue University, graduating June
1958.
As a professional engineer and registered
surveyor, Jack was hired to lead a team
surveying President Eisenhower’s Civil
Defense Highway System by laying out I-
the length of Michigan to Sault Ste Marie.
Next, Jack entered the Civil Engineer
Training Program of the Michigan
Department of State Highways and quickly
rose to oversee the layout of interstate,
primary, and secondary highways throughout
Michigan.
After four years he returned to his home
State of Illinois to work for the Illinois
Department of Public Works as well as other
Engineering jobs. However, he loved the
rolling natural spaces of Michigan and was
thrilled to be hired as the Civil Engineer
Manager for Barry County in 1970-1979.
Then on to Sanilac County 1979-1986, then
back to Barry County as Manager
1986-Retiring 1997.
Jack and Carolyn have three children
(Steven, Rhonda, and Melinda) and five
Grandchildren (Radie, Maizie, Zephie,
Bram, and Oskar). After his retirement, he
studied American society and became a
staunch Democrat working door-to-door
supporting candidates that favored social and
environmental justice. His biggest passion
was to educate local people on the dangerous
consequences of fracking. He also
volunteered his many construction skills on
International Mission Trips building schools,
homes, and sanitary facilities. Domestically,
he worked on numerous Habitat for
Humanity Projects.
His love of nature extended from his early
years on the farm throughout his life,
enjoying Barry County’s many opportunities
for hunting, fishing, and hiking. Alzheimer’s
took his life, but it did not take his spirit; this
humble man made the world a better place
and will be missed by many.
In lieu of flowers, please direct any
donations to (https://www.alz.org/).
A memorial service will be announced
later this year.
Cards of remembrance can be sent to

The Historical Society of Michigan has
announced a new program to recognize historic
houses. This is similar to the centennial farms
program. For a price of $395 plus shipping,
with proper documentation one’s house can
be designated a Michigan Heritage Home if it
was built at least a century ago, has remained
basically the same in style and has been
maintained with authenticity.
With the village established in the 1880s
many houses south of Tupper Lake street
within the confines of the original village plat
that might qualify. Three houses were here as
farmhouses even before there was a village.
One is the large Italianate house on the
corner of Tupper Lake Street and Washington
Boulevard. This was built by Godfrey
Hutchens on his 80-acre farm. This was either
the second or third dwelling on the farm.
His stepfather, John Swarthout, had a farm
a half-mile north on Bonanza Road, and his
stepsister Margaret Brisbin, wife of George
for whom the Brisbin drain was named, was
on a farm on the north side of Tupper Lake
Street from Tasker Road to Jordan Lake Road
Highway. The three couples had come from
Lenawee County about the same time. Well
before the hamlet of Bonanza was established.
Another house that predates the village is on
the corner of M-50 and Sixth Avenue on what
was the Fellows farm.GET ALL
