I would just really like photo copies of their obituaries. Father = Warren Moffatt Blank died April 8, 1945 in Whitehall, Mi. Mother was Mary Russell Blank , have next to nothing on her. I know they were married in Dundee , Illinois June 1, 1892 but that she died in Whitehall also in the year 1958 and is buried next to their young son. Warren Jr was born 1906 and died 1927 . Iam sorry, that I have no other dates, But I don't think there were many "Blank" family members in that area at all. His sister Elizabeth married a Clarence Fordham and moved to California at least that is where she was found in 1945 Also his brother Elmer R Blank died in Deb 1968 in California according to SSDI Another sister Dorothy married Fred Nordling died in California also in Oct 1982 I can't find any obituaries on them. I have been told that Mr Blank Sr was a teacher in schools around Whitehall. Am trying to fill in the vacant spots conserning his children. Am getting close to writting a book on my Blank Pages In Time and since the family settled there for a number of years would be more than willing to donate a copy to the library in Whitehall. I just need some assistance to finish this portion. Marsha >From Kalamazoo

As of the time I write this e-mail -- there's just 2 1/2 hours left on bidding for a copy of Muskegon High School's 1927 yearbook, in case anyone is interested. You'll find it at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3573209296&category=1136&ssPageName=Merch06 There are no bids on it yet and they are asking just $10.00. Anyone? Jill (Syers) Clark listowner, MIMUSKEG-L

Would someone please tell me if there is public access or index's, to this information in the Muskegon County Court House or Hackley Library. If So, where would I go to find it?

(Ray was a tugboat captain.) They apparently were relatives, maybe brothers. Especially interested in any information about the names of parents or place of origin. Thanks greatly for any help.

I was wondering where to find the Historical Society in Muskegon and what the hours were. Thank you Cindy Link
