I presume that this is in fact "Jacob", father of John J. Then there are buried John J. Friday 1858-1932; wife Martha W. Friday b. 1866 d. 1952, in the same cemetery; Then there are buried Bernice E Friday 1896-1981; Alfred I Friday, 1904-1971; And a Louise D. Friday b. Apr 1886, d. Nov. 1965. You can forget about visiting the Richmond Library they have absolutely nothing as far as genealogy is concerned. Also, there is no courthouse in Richmond. We, the Richmond Historical Society has digitized all of the old REVIEW newspapers from 1908-1959. We do obit. lookups and can send you scans of the obits for $10/obituary. You can also purchase the CD for half a year for $10 or the entire year for $20. Let me know if you're interested. Ursula http://www.richmondmihistory.org
