I lived in Marine City for several decades and I never heard of the McLouth stone yard having any connection to McLouth Steel. I believe that McLouth had a shipyard in Marine City from the late 1800s through around the 1920s-1930s, I'm unsure of the local history in that regard but is it possible that the stone yard is the location of the former shipyard? If I recall correctly the McLough family held considerable shipping interests during the late 1800s during the time of wooden ship construction and operation.
