Do you know of White Feather ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about White Feather. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with White Feather.<1>

Our sources for White Feather (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of White Feather other than they indicate that White Feather would be found somewhere in Bay County, Michigan.
