This record gave me his death date as Oct 3, 1882. The October 4, 1882 local newspaper in a tiny notice observed that he committed suicide, having been "partially insame for some time." His wife Maria from the death index died July 13, 1885. No obit could be found, so their burial locations remain unknown. Please send your mailing address to glivings@willard.lib.mi.us and I will send you these documents.
