Later, a white fisherman stole them, using them to anchor [[fishing nets]], and they are now somewhere in [[Lake Huron]].<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3DKLhheZht0C&pg=PA486 |title=Michigan; a Guide to the Wolverine State |author=Compiled by Workers of the Writers’ Program of the Works Progress Administration in the State of Michigan |year=1941 |page=486|isbn=9781623760212 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NbaF0SWvRJIC&pg=PA429 |page=429 |title=Michigan Encyclopedia |first1=Jennifer |last1=Herman |publisher=State History Publications |date=January 1, 1999 |isbn=9781878592941}}</ref> In 1973, the community was the site of the [[Great Michigan Pizza Funeral]].
