Tried on this last night, but messed it up. So here goes again. Let me correct my first message about Marie and Frank. I thought that Marie was a Hirth, but that seems to be wrong. She seems to be a Goettel. (My father was Raymond Goettel Hirth). The presence of a Jenette May is baffling to me. I know that Frank and Marie had one daughter. In 1934, while spending the summer with Marie (Aunt Mill) I saw her picture . It seemed to be of a young woman perhaps in her 20's. It's my understanding that she became an attorney and joined her father, Frank, in the family practice. Frank died of tuberculosis, I think, and the daughter possibly married and moved out of Lansing. I just know that by the summer of 1934 she was no longer alive. I really didn't know that both Frank and the daughter had died shortly before we visited. Actually that kind of clears things up. My f! ather was quite a handy man and he spent the summer working on Marie's house. I never knew the name of the daughter in the picture. I would assume that it was entirely possible that there was another child named Jenette, but Jenette is such an odd name for a German family. Here I'm assuming that Frank was German. Basically it has always seemed that most of the children were named after relatives. I suppose it's possible that Frank and Marie had another child and had no picture of her. I would think that if they did that Marie would have kept her picture along with the picture of the other daughter. If you find out anything more about this I would really appreciate it if you would drop me a line. Is there any possibility at all that the date of death could be wrong? I'm away from home and don't have my records. If this child is the only May child and Frank and Marie are the only possible parents in the cemetery then it does rather point to them. Is there any other ! information that I can give you? Wish that I knew more. There was a least one family in Lansing in 1934 that would know this information. They ran a shoe store and lived above it. The store was on Main Street about 2 blocks from the May house. Names were Della and Al and the last name started with a P. (Something like Polson, but that doesn't sound exactly right). I should know it and will try to come up with it. Regards....Mary Rae
