Arnold lived in Trenary [Alger County], Michigan on the McAfee Homestead.  
He left the Lutheran ministry for unknown reasons.  
It is not known when he came to Alger County, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Marriage Notes for Arnold Druckenmiller and Violet McAfee:

NOTE from May:
At one time Violet and Arnold had 5 sons one daughter and two son in laws in the service and there were many nephews also.  
My husband and I went to the Mich dept of realestate and bought a little abandoned gasoline station here in Trenary and it is now owned by the Trenary Senior Citizens as they paid us back and it is the Trenary Senior Citizens and Veterans Memorial.  
We are very proud of it even though I do not belong to the Trenary senior citizens any more.  
I could send you some pictures of it if you would like.
 

Arnold and Violet are buried on the Druckenmiller plot in Matthias Cemetery.  
Also buried on this plot are Arnold Jr. and his wife Agnes Erhardt
Russell and his wife Evelyn
Alma and her husband Edward Walainis.

Alternate Birthdate January 22, 1895
Notes for Violet Jennie McAfee:

Three of Violet McAfee's siblings are buried in the McAfee Homestead yard because the bridge over the 
White Fish River was not built until 1904 and the babies died before 1900.  
May has the graves marked with an apple tree because the deer and the bear eat everything else that was planted there. 
Arnold used to keep a beautiful Pink rose there, but the snow mobilers tore it up.   
It is now fenced in.
