Now I have more pieces of the puzzle along with more questions. That's what makes this hobby so interesting. Still looking for Albert's wife, Mary. I'm assuming the Mary buried with Albert in Oakwood Cemetery is his wife who died January 4, 1919. Thank you again. You have been so very kind and generous. Best Regards, Mickie

Some of the pieces are finally starting to come together. Albert's wife was Mary Scott Elliott. According to my G-grandfather's biography (Charles W. Elliott) Mary died prior to Albert's death. But it seems as though she might still have been alive when Albert died. "Mr. Elliott leaves a widow.." When checking the cemetery records listed in the Muskegon County Genealogical Resources, which is a great source for information, I find a Mary Elliott, d. January 4, 1919, buried in the same lot/range/block as Albert. I know it is asking a lot but could someone check an obit to see if this could possibly be Albert's wfie, my GG-grandmother? Thank you so very much for all your help, Best regards, Mickie

Surnames: Elliott Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WGB.2ACI/1704 Message Board Post: My GGgrandfather, Albert Elliott, had lived in Muskegon for a some time and returned to his home in Hamilton Ontario in 1903 where he died in 1904. According to an obituary I located in Hamilton library this past week was that his body was sent back to Muskegon for burial. He is buried at Oakwood Cemetery. Am looking for a possible obituary in the Muskegon area even though he passed away in Ontario. His children, Charles, William, Frank, James and possibly Ezra either were living in Muskegon at the time or brought their father back and continued to reside in the area. His death date according to the newspaper "Hamilton Spectator" is May 30, 1904. Any help locating a possible obit for Albert would be much appreciated. Also looking for obits or any information on: James A. Elliott d February 14, 1933 William Elliott d July 2, 1933 Laura Louise, d October 20, 1933, wife of William George Franklin Elliott d. August 17, 1935 Nellie Elliott d November 17,1908, wife of Charles (g-grandparents) Elsie Elliott d. May 30, 1902 - possibly Albert's wife?? Thank you! Best regards, Mickie

She left Sweden 1872 and immigrates to Muskegon. I have found a letter from her written 1878 in Muskegon. I know that she was a member in the Samuel Lutheran Church in Muskegon as Sophia Larsson, together with her son Gustaf Magnus, born 18 December 1879. She was married 1877, but I don’t know with whom, her husband is not mentioned as a member. Sophia and her son were deleted from the Church 5 October 1883. After that I don’t know anything about her life or her son’s. If somebody can help me find anything, I will be very grateful. Lena Bieber
