I'm "finishing" my research on the descendants of Hiram and Nellie Bailey Karcher as well as Hiram Manily and Grace Bailey Oliver who moved from Freeport, MI to the Remus area in the early 1900s. Nellie and Grace were daughters of John Bailey and Estella Walton Bailey and were born in Campbell Township, Ionia County, MI. I have a picture of the girls as of 1903 with their first cousins at their grandfather's funeral. Grandfather was John Silas Walton, an early settler of Gaines Township, Kent County, as well as Freeport. John's grandfather was Revolutionary War soldier Silas Walton of Connecticut. I believe that most of the Oliver descendants have moved to Kent County but I know that many of the Karchers remain in the Remus area. I am in need of a few particular obituaries and death records, if anyone can help me. Needless to say, I would love to correspond with a Karcher descendant to fill in some blanks too. And, I would be very happy to send a copy of my compiled work, as it presently stands, to the Mecosta County Genealogy Society, this website, or any other interested party.
