Did John start a new business endeavor in Michigan?
1874 In January, 1874, Henry Eichler advertised ten acres for sale on Michigan Avenue, Lansing, Michigan, east of the Depot. I believe John Everingham purchased it as a tree nursery.

1875 The Lansing Republican, Jan 22, 1875, Lansing, Michigan.. "Ten acres of choice fertile land belonging to Henry Eichler, have been sold to J.J. Everingham. He intends to carry on the nursery business of fruit-trees, vines, evergreens, etc. Mr. Everingham has a practical knowledge of the busines, gained at one of the famous Rochester (NY) nurseries." Feb 2nd, 1875, Real Estate Transactions, K. Eichler to John J. Everingham, ten acres on northeast corner, sec 15, Lansing, $2,000. According to the Lansing Republican newspaper, on December 3rd 1875, John Everingham petitioned the Lansing council for payment of $350 for land taken 297/1000 of an acre and trees destroyed while widening Michigan Avenue. Within a few days the updated estimate of trees was 1500. The recommendation by Dec 7th, to the city clerk was to draw an order of $25 in favor of Mr. Everingham. The unpaid loss here is equivilant to $9,500 today. This action may have ruined his business possibilities in MI. (see 1877 below)

1877 The Lansing Republican, Dec 7, 1877, Lansing, Michigan.. "Suit pending in the 4th Circuit Court for the county of Ingham, in chancery. Central Michigan Savings Bank vs. John J. Everingham, Lucy Everingham and Katrina Eichler. In satisfactorily appearing by affidavit the said John J. Everingham and Lucy Everingham are non-residents of this state and the said John J. Everingham is a resident of the state of Indiana, and said Lucy Everingham is a resident of the state of New York. It is ordered that the defendants appear in this cause to be entered within three months. Russell Ostrander, Circuit Court Commissioner, Ingham County, Mich."

1877 Fort Wayne News & Sentinel, Indiana, Dec 31, 1877.. "J. J. Everingham of 205 Calhoun St., Fort Wayne, Indiana" was selling American Sewing Machines, a Toledo, Ohio based company. Ads appear in newspapers in 1877 and 1878.

1879 By 1879 the couple seems to be back together and baby Winnifred was born in New York.

1881 Wayne County Alliance Newspaper, Sodus, NY, Wednesday, June 1, 1881... "In court at Lyons last week Mrs. Lucy A. Everingham, of South Sodus, was awarded a verdict of $1,128.19 against Elisha and Walter Thornton, executors of the estate of the late Merritt Thornton." This appears to be a judgement for Lucy against her brothers in reference to her father's estate.
