Hi, Doug, It's so nice of you to offer to do lookups. When you get a chance, there are 3 people I'm interested in who are from Grand Rapids and were in high school about that time (not sure if they went to Central High, though): - Socrates Lee "Jack" Murray, born 1898 - Marie (or Sadie) Murray, born 1899 - Ethel (or Ethely) Mapes, born 1903 Thanks so much!

I am seeking any information about Wilson Rufus Andress. I do know a bit about him, but would love any additional information, particularly his history as an "old-time circus man" (from his obit.) (Supposedly, he worked with his brother Charles as the Andress Bros., but I don't know the extent of their business.) Wilson was born 1854 in Ontario, died in Grand Rapids in 1918. He was married at least twice, last to Susan "Almena" Groves. He was buried in Chesaning, Mich., where he had lived as a young man. Thanks!
