Angie,   Have you tried the www.seekingmichigan.org web site?  I had an uncle that was a puzzle to me until I found his death certificate there.  They have Michigan DC's from 1897 to 1920.

I have been searching forever trying to find the cause of death of my  great-great aunt Nora Jane Martin. She married Willis Henry Hier in Clyde Twp., Allegan Co. in 1895 and had  several children.  The only child I can find record of is Lena B born in  1899.  In the 1900 census, they lived in Hendricks Twp., MacKinac Co.    Supposedly, he husband abandoned Nora and her children in a lumber camp some  where in Michigan and she was killed some time after that in a barroom  brawl.  I can't find any record of her death so I'm uncertain if this is  true.  I also cannot find her children on any record after the 1900  census.  If anyone could help me out in my search, it would be greatly  appreciated.
