I am interested in finding the cemetery where Ida Kratz (one year old) is buried. At the time of her death, 18 Mar 1882, her parents may have been residing in Sodus MI, even though information I have seems to indicate they always lived in the Avery/Three Oaks/Weesaw Twp part of the county. Her parents were Henry and Barbara "Kate" Kratz. Any suggestions who I might contact for a record of this Berrien County burial? Or, is it possible there might have been an obituary for her death, and which library would be most likely to have a copy? Thank you. Marcia Boggs Connersville IN
