I think that is where I got an obit but it has been awhile. http://www.baycountylibrary.org/ref_question.html IF they cannot help you and you live in Michigan, have your local library order the newspaper from that time period from the Library of Michigan (LOM). You can see what the LOM has at the following: http://www.michigan.gov/hal/0,1607,7-160-17449_18643_29527-87593--,00.html And I wish they had smaller addresses.
