      In "The Way It Was", the publication of the Cass City Area Historical & Genealogy Society, Volume 24, Number 5, Sept/Oct 2018, the article "A Tale of Two Irishmen" noted that were two "very important Irish citizens in Cass City's history, Morton "Mort" Orr and Glen "Scotty" McCullough....Mort was the son of Robert Orr who was one of Cass City's first pioneers. Born in 1844, he came here direct from Ireland, and was probably the first person to purchase the property to be considered since Governor Lewis Cass negotiated the treaty of 1819 with the Indians."
