Derricks north and south

I was doing some looking around on the Web regarding "Derrick, Lake Linden." I found this post.

*c1900 Michigan, USA. Larry SMITH lhsmith"at"srv.net 2002
I have a picture of the Hubbell, MI band in 1900, of which my gfr, Henry
SMITH, was the leader. In the band were Fred DERRICK on trombone & Ben
DERRICK on clarinet. They may have lived in Lake Linden, the next town to
Hubbell. This was copper mining and milling country then. I think the
DERRICKs may have moved on to the gold mining area of Dawson, Yukon
Territory, Canada later. I have postcards c1910 to my grandfather about
Dawson, but the correspondent didn't sign - but I always thought it was a
DERRICK or RILLSTONE that wrote.
If you think they may be related, I could probably see what the family
consisted of in the 1900 census. If you use Ancestry.com, which I don't, I
think you can see the 1900 and 1910 census on line. Lake Linden is in
Schoolcraft Township of Houghton County, and Hubbell is in Torch Lake Twp,
Houghton Co., MI.
