SCHOONER NORTH CAROLINA - Muskegon Reporter, June 9, 1859 - PROBABLE LOSS OF THE SCHOONER NORTH CAROLINA, WITH ALL ON BOARD - The schooner North Carolina left Black Lake in this county, on the evening of the 26th ult., which, our readers will remember, was the evening preceeding the late violent gale on Lake Michigan, bound for Milwaukee.  Aaron Ingraham, Esq., George Wheeler, and two other passengers, whose names we did not learn, and a crew of seven men were on board.  The principal part of her freight was rail road ties.  She has not since been heard of, and as we understand from Capt. Johnson, of the Kitty Grant , that on Sunday last he saw a large quantity of rail road ties floating in Lake Michigan, about twenty miles from Black Lake, some of which were picked up by his men, but they were unable to find any marks or other means of identifying them.  Mr. Ingraham was last year the Supervisor of township of Norton, was part owner of the steam mill at Black Lake, known as the Ingraham mill, an! d was a man universally respected.
