Why don't you check the films for death records that may have been filmed by the Salt Lake Geneolical Society go to www.familysearch.org go to library and then to catalog put in michigan houghton. I'm looking at a film right with deaths from 1901 to 1911. you can do this from your nearest Family History Center if they don't have the film you want there you can order it for about $3.00 Kay earlnkay@aol.com
