Hackley Public Library has directories back to 1870; was not published every year. I checked directories in 1930's; can check further to see when the Briggs family stops being listed. All 80,000 cemetery records for Muskegon County up to 1980 are found at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~muskegoncounty/Index.htm Many items to be found there; the birth index is beginning to be posted there, too. Check Muskegon County Clerk (Google) for the free online Genealogical Death Index online - also see GENDIS for early deaths in Michigan.
