Good Morning listers, We are planning another trip from Washington state to Kalamazoo to search for Maple Dale burial site. Our James H. YEO who was a veterinary surgeon in Kalamazoo, died 8 Apr 1891 in Kalamazoo, the obituary appearing in the Kalamazoo Gazette 8 Apr 1891 did not list a burial site until family was notified. The funeral notice Kalamazoo Gazette 9 Apr 1891, said funeral from son's home and burial in Maple Dale. We have checked the local cemeteries and no Maple Dale, checked in at the library last trip through and no one heard of Maple Dale. Would love to find this but do not know where to look, any help with this would sure be appreciated. As we will searching in the Kalamazoo area can anyone help out with a good clean hotel in the area. Last time we were too far out of town. Plans to be there Oct 10th or 11th for 2-3 days. Thanks and Good luck in your research. Judy K Tacoma, WA
