Christopher Mindel shows up in the 1880 federal census for Michigan as follows. His location is the county is in Petoskey, Emmet, Michigan. Is this your family??? The only other Mindel in Mecosta are William, two Jacobs and a Catherine. No one has an 1822 birth date. Have you tried the Latter Day Saints Research Libraries. They are located everywhere and there is a website to find the one closest to you. You can order films that include death records for your county and they send you a copy from Salt Lake Library. I didn't see anything under death records for his name. Hope this helps some.

Hello everyone, I hope that someone will be able to help me. I have been looking for some proof of birth for my great grandmother Marion (Minnie) Marie SNELL. Bd: 16 Sep 1893 in Kalamazoo. She died 31 Jul 1971 in Pontiac. I have her death certificate but can't find anything on her birth. I'm looking for her mother Clara Marian's maiden name. Her mother is thought to have been born in Michigan as well. Marion's father's name was Edward C. Snell of Michigan. I know it's a shot in the dark, but maybe one of you can help.   Bonnie-Jo Leavitt, OCDS  Las Vegas, Nevada

I'm wondering if you have checked the neighboring counties for a death record. Mecosta County is very rural and he could possibly have died in another county depending on where he might have lived. Also have you checked the local newspaper microfilm to see if anything was written up of the death? Just some thoughts.

History of the Class of 1916: We, the class of 1916, have now successfully completed our High School course. Our "success" did not "happen," but was gained by the u nited efforts of the class, together with the advice and assistance of our honorary members. Just four years ago we entered Old Eastern a "bunch of frightened Freshmen;" now we are leaving as a class of dignified Seniors. Although we have decreased in numbers during these four years, our class spirit has increased with each year. We are proud of the work we have accomplished and think that we are justified in our pride. The time, during our first term of High School life, was spent in study and in trying to avoid the pranks the upper classmen persisted in playing on us. We are sorry to say that some of our number even found their way (with the aid of a few Seniors) to the hay market tank, but then we consoled ourselves with the thought that our turn was coming to annoy some other poor Freshmen. During the second term of our Freshmen year we decided to prove our importance in the school life of Eastern, by doing the hitherto unheard of thing, organizing in our Freshmen year. We proved our capability by electing the following officers: President, Carter Miller; vice-president, Margaret Goeschel; secretary, John Kerr; treasurer, Esther Buck; sergeant-at-arms, Ramon Dixn; editor, Curtis Gustin. Under the leadership of these able officers and with Miss Edwards, our honorary member, to help us, we progressed rapidly. A constitution was soon drawn up and work began in earnest. We had a banner made in our class colors, green and white, and held a ceremonial and enjoyed a picnic supper (even if everyone did bring cake or fruit) in Miss Edward's room when it was raised. According to our constitution at that time, our officers were elected for one term only, so at the beginning of the new term we elected new officers. We name the following with pride: President, Chauncey Waltman; vice-president, Fern Newcomb; secretary, John Kerr; treasurer, Josephine Litchfield; sergeant-at-arms, Charles Kay; editor, Curtis Gustin. As Fern Newcomb left school, Marie Bertch was eleced vice-president. What wonders we did accomplish even if we were "mere Freshmen." We kept the other classes busy trying to keep up with us. Our progressive dinner, which was held at the h omes of Chauncey Waltman, Margaret Goeschel and Carter Miller, was a great success (as far as the dinner part went, anyhow) and who doesn't remember the good time everyone had at the class picnic at Wenona Beach? Thus our first year went by rapidly, and we soon found ourselves Sophomores. With our new title came new duties. Early in the year, we elected the following officers: President, John Kerr; vice-president, Garnet Gates; treasurer, Clarence Moulthrop; secretary, Josephine Litchfield; sergeant-at-arms, Ramon Dixn; editor, Morgan Ramsay. About the middle of the year Garnet Gates resigned her position as vice-president, and Norine Whitehouse was elected to fill h er place. Although we were very sorry to lose Miss Edwards at this time, we found Miss Sites and Mr. Royal all th at could be desired in the way of honorary members. The first social function of the year was a party given at the home of Norine Whitehouse. Later o n a sleighride was given, after which the class went to the home of Josephine Litchfield where lunch was served and incidentally a marriage performed, uniting two of the members of our class. Then came the climax of our year's work, the Sophomore Circus. A one-act comedy, "Tangles", was the big feature of the event. The cast was composed of Margaret Goeschel, Esther Buck, John Kerr, Carter Miller and Walter Richardson. The success of the affair was beyond our expectations, and we were now able to refer to our treasury with pride. At the close of the very sucessful year we took up our new duties as Juniors. We began work early by electing the following officers: President, john Kerr; vice-president, Norine Whitehouse; secretary, Clarence Moulthrop; treasurer, Josephine Litchfield; sergeant-at-arms, Charles Kay, editor, Lois Harding. The first social event was a delightful class party given at the h ome of our president, John Kerr. All of the talent (shich is considerable) that is in the class was employed to help furnish amusement for the evening. A small admittance fee was charged so as to add to our treasury. The aim of all our previous efforts was to gain sufficient funds to give the Seniors a suitable Send-Off. So with the end in view, a numer of cand sales were given, and then the Junion Play. We, the class of originality, decided to depart from the old custom of giving the play in the school auditorium (which is hardly worthy of the name) and with the consent of the faculty, "A Rose O' Plymouth Town" was staged at the Washington Theatre. The cast was composed of Muriel Lambert, Norine Whitehouse, Lois Harding, Irene Benson, John Kerr, Charles Kay, Clarence Burgher, and Clara Hamill. It is needless to mention the success of th is play, for we were well patronized by the public as well as by the students. As we now h ad a full treasury, we were able to give the Seniors a fitting Send-Off. They were not only entertained with the customary dance at the Boat CLub, but they also enjoyed , so they said, a picnic at Wenona Beach. This event closed our Junior year, and we found ourselves stately Seniors. As usual, we began work early by electing our officers. The following was the result of the election: President, Wm. Favorite; vice-president, Margaret Goeschel; treasurer, Josephine Litchfield; secretary, Lois Harding; sergeant-at-arms, Pecy Strudwick. The time had now arrived when we intended to let out the rest of our pent-up wrath causwed by the treatment received when were Freshmen,by making life miserable for the Freshmen then entering Eastern. But, alas for our hopes it was rumored that there were to be no Senior privileges, and thinking that by conducting ourselves in a sedate and orderly manner we might get them, we refrained from molesting the Freshmen. But all of our good behavior was wasted, for that dreaded announcement came just the same, and we didn't even strike, but settled down to work for the good of the class. Social committees were soon appointed, among which were the party committee and the dance committee. Mrs. Spiesberger kindly opened her home to the class for the party, w hich was well attended, and a good time was enjoyed by everyone. Perhaps those boys who were beguiled into taking a ride in Junior automobiles and taken somewhat beyond their destination did not enjoy the first part of the evening, but then the last part made up for any previous discomforts. It was decided to make the annual Senior dance a Senior-Junior affair, and we are proud to annouonce that this was one of the few dances in the h istory of Old Eastern that has been successful, financially as well as socially. The reainder of our year was spent in stdting and m aking plans for Commencement, which promises to eclipse all other such events. Our success has been due in great part to the efforts of Miss Sites and Mr. Royal, who h ave worked with us and advised us, and we cannot express our appreciation for what they have done for us. It is with a mingled feeling of joy and sadness that we realized that our course is now completed - joy at the completion of our work; sadness at the breaking up of friendships formed during our school days. It is with deep regret that we leave Old Eastern and thus close our history. carolyn in rhode island

Hi Carolyn, Thank you for the quick response. I can not say how much I appreciate that. Grandma Maude Gregson lived to be almost 98 years old so I had her as a part of my life for many many years. It was so great that even my kids were a part of her life. Anything you can do to help me are so muchy appreciated. Take care, Bob Smith

Bob - I did run across a huge group of yearbooks; I don't know why I didn't buy them all. I am going to try to find the name of the dealer where I bought these yearbooks and get more - they are priceless. carolyn usersm8681@aol.com wrote: >Hi, > > My grandmother, MAUDE SWEET, born 1881 in Battle Creek, Michigan >graduated from Battle Creek High School about 1898.
