Mr. Street was at one time a resident of Page county, moving here in an early day and settling on a farm near what was then known as Tarkio, near the present site of Norwich. From this place he moved to Des Moines in 1879, and some years later returned to the vicinity of his old home near Mancelona, Mich., where he has since continued to reside. The only surviving relatives are C. W. Cole of this city, and Mr. Cole's sister, Mrs. Mary Weter of Mancelona, Mich.
