All I can find on the above name is in 1890 he was a furniture carver. Can anyone give me any other information. He was married to Aurilla Phillips between 1887-1892. One son that I know of - Carl. Anyone have anyway to find out more?

Forrest Williams is not a Dutch name. Was he Catholic? There was only one Dutch Catholic Church in Grand Rapids, St. Joseph near Grandville Avenue. This was a poor, poorly educated laborer neighborhood of very early Dutch settlers in Grand Rapids. . And how did a Dutch boy from Grand Rapids meet a Catholic girl from Detroit? You are just assuming he was married? Back then a Dutch protestant boy with a Catholic girl would have been unacceptable as it was even up to Vatican II in 1968. A protestant/Catholic marriage would have been opposed. You seem to be making some unclear assumptions.

I was born in 1941 in Detroit and was adopted immediately.My Birth-Mother was Louise M. Warnock, a musican-singer and a Detroit Catholic girl.She worked most of the time at an auto factory. Forrest would have had Dark hair and eyes, probably--maybe military school in his youth. He could have had musical skills, but maybe not. He was probably married with kids. He was of Am-Dutch descent.There are several F.W. in the Grand Rapids area.I don't want to interfere with a family as I had a good one of my own, but just need closure. Thankyou, Susan (TX.)

It's for Hannah Heaton, b:Apr 16, 1800 VT, d:Apr 05, 1877 MI. I suspect she's buried with Charles & Almira Allen in the Maplewood cemetery (lot 28), Lamont, Ottawa, Michigan. Now the Coopersville Observer didn't start until 1880. Question. Were there any other 1877 local newspapers that would have published her obituary? Muskegon Chronicle? Grand Haven Tribune?
