Dear John: I am in Virginia and not familiar with the area, so can't help you directly. However, my approach to these questions is to call existing funeral homes and ask the question of them. And/or ask which funeral homes have been in existence for many years. Those directors are much more likely to know the answers to your questions, since the both know the business and know the area. Do you have his Death Certificate? It often gives both the name of the embalmer, the name of the funeral home and the name of the cemetery..... As to the churches. This sounds Catholic, so I'd call a few Catholic churches and ask the same question. OR contact the local library and see if they have church records from about 1904. Good luck! Merry Christmas!

Are you aware of the Mt Clemens Library website: http://www.libcoop.net/mountclemens/genealog.htm This may have some info you can use. I did not see Hess-Myers listed as a funeral home, but you can also check old city directories on line there.

[Given names ASSUMED to be Johann Carl, based on names found in biographic sketch (John), passenger list (Carl) & census (Charles).] Johann may have married twice. Family legend says that Emilie, Edward & Julius are half-siblings of Johann’s younger children. First wife’s name is unknown. Johann’s wife who came to America was probably Frederike Wilhemine (surname unknown). On the 1864 passenger list, she appears as “Frdrk”. In the 1880 census, she shows as “Wilhelmen”. She was born about 1810, and died between 1880 and 1900. One researcher thinks her surname may have been KIRKOW. Johann’s son-in-law, Ferdinand Wolff, was from “Fridberg”, perhaps a mis-spelling of Friedeberg. Daughter-in-law Ulriche Wilhelmine Becker was from Stolzenberg, Pommern. Parents of daughter-in-laws Charlotte and Augusta Heidenfeldt were from Hermsdorf, Friedeberg, Pommern. Son Gustav said he and parents were born in Posen.
