April 5, 1922- June 5, 1992 in Pasco, Florida. My mom had copies of the obits that I was able to get a hold of the end of May. I broke through that brickwall a few weeeks after I posted this original query. Milo was a little more difficult, but I also broke through his brickwall as well. However, I still don't have a lot of photos, other than a few newspaper clippings, and the like. So, if you have any photos, that's what I'd really like to see}:) ( wolfsilveroak@cox.net if it's easier) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I know that she passed away in the 1990s and I will try to get out to the library to get a copy of the obituary for you - probably would be faster then finding the one I have. The tree info has her birth name was Marjorie Blanche Micklatcher born April 5, 1922....not sure if the 5th is correct - as I always heard her birthday was April 8th.

I have boxes of stuff from my Mom's and I am sure there are pictures of Margie, Milo and the kids. I will try and get you copies of their obituaries. I may have original ones from the newspapers here some place - my mom saved everything. Milo did work at Kelloggs. The house they lived in was on Riverview, which runs off of VanBuren - it is not close to Ralston's at all. Leathanne is still in Battle Creek - I saw her not even a month ago at my sister's funeral. It was the first time I had seen her in years - but she was close to my sister. I will see what I can find for you. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

The location was later made part of the City of Marshall. The house was built in 1899-1901, and was operated by a board of trustees. In later years, the home was operated by Mrs. Mary Katz as a home for the aged of both sexes. It was called the Katz Nursing Home. The home burned in 1962. It was later replaced by a modern nursing home now called Tender Care (as of 1993). Carver has more information and several pictures. I don't believe Dulcenia was ever operated as a prison or similar institution. It was the nursing home of the era, and one which cared for indigent patients, a good place. My Grandfather died at Katz Nursing Home in 1948. John English Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
