In 1852, the Quay family, father James and mother Mary Ann, existed in the caught up with stumbling town of Forester. Their little girl, Minnie, was just 15 around then. She had given her heart to an adolescent mariner whose boat might dock in Forester regularly for either delivering or shipper explanations. Very little is pondered the man of his word, just that Minnie had experienced passionate feelings for him. Numerous around the local area cautioned her about this affair. Her own particular mother might regularly yell out loud enough for others nearby to hear that she might rather see her dead than with this man. In the unanticipated spring of 1852, word returned to Forester that his ship had gone down in the Great Lakes of Michigan.

Minnie was torn, as her folks had not permitted her to say farewell the final time he had left town. A couple of days after the fact, on May 26, her parents gave her charge to watch her more youthful sibling, Charles. As the baby was resting, Minnie strolled into town, and passed by the town motel, the Tanner House. Individuals sitting on the porch waved to the adolescent young lady as she passed them and strolled to the wharf. The spectators looked as she bounced off the dock, into the waters of Lake Huron.

Her ghost has been said to meander the shores of Forester. Some have said that she barely walks, sitting tight for her mate to dock, while others have expressed that she has tried to invite young ladies into the waters to their passings.

To the north of Port Sanilac, the cemetery and a few buildings remain. There also exists a tavern (Ray And Connie's Forester Inn), as well as the Tanner Inn. The 150-year old Tanner Inn has remained empty for several years after its use as an inn, blind pig and a house of prostitution.
