There are no names of his children or his 2nd wife in the article. It does say "that his funeral was attended on the Thursday succeeding his death at the Baptist Meeting House in South Battle Creek when an appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. S. Wishard of this city." Does anyone know where I could write to find Baptist Church records for 1868?
