Introduction
Text-to-speech Audio
Where was Claude Shannon, Jr. born? Gaylord or Petoskey?
When Claude was born in 1916, Gaylord did not have a hospital. Mrs., Shannon chose to travel to nearby Petoskey where she could receive medical care at a hospital. She had gone there six years earlier when Catherine was born in 1910.
So, Claude was technically born in Petoskey, but the family never lived there.
