Hi everyone, I received the following message and since I don't live in Washtenaw County, wondered if anyone on the list could help this woman. Please don't hit 'reply' to respond to her, but address your response to Jennifer Knight at <knight@money.org>. Thanks. Colleen -------- Original Message -------- Subject: geneva karlson obituary Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2003 15:18:13 -0700 From: Publications Dept <knight@money.org> Organization: American Numismatic Association To: ladyaudris@earthlink.net I was wondering if you knew that Geneva R. Karlson, who was born in Washtenaw County, had recently died. Is there someone I could get in touch with who would have more complete information on her? I am trying to write an obituary for the Numismatist, the monthly publication of the American Numismatic Association. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have any information on the Obadiah Family? One son by the name of Francis married a Betsy Chrysler and they had several children born in Manchester. They later moved to Spencer, MI but another brother Benjamin lived in Manchester and is buried in the Manchester cemetery. Any information you might have on the Forces would be appreciated. The time frame I am talking about is probably around the 1840s to 1860s. Obadiah later moved to Stockbridge, MI. Thanks Dianna Force forcecrank@aol.com

Could someone please look up a birth record for me please?Its for Benjamin Franklin Moore born May 1886 or Millie Ida Moore born July? 1888 in Ann Arbor,,thier parents were William G Moore and Nora Ellen Powell Any help would be so Greatly Appreciated Leatha

Rob, Thanks for the reply, the one in town is probably the one my uncle owned, and then my cousin bought them from him, and resold several homes in various small towns. He then retired to Florida. thanks John Proctor

Leonard's funeral home was in Ypsilanti. They were (and maybe still are I live in FL now!) the greatest people. Were wonderful to my family for years!!!

The other funeral home in Chelsea is the Cole Funeral Home on Middle Street. The Ann Arbor Staffan Funeral Home is long gone -- probably in the 1970s or 80s.

> The Staffan Funeral Home in Chelsea was bought out a few years ago by John Mitchell Sr. and Jr. They also have a home over in Stockbridge. The Staffan/Mitchell Funeral home in Chelsea is out on Highway 52, past the Jiffy Miz plant and the Glazier Building. There is one other Funeral home in town that I don't know anything about really except that it is down just a block or so from the cemetery. I can't recall the name of it right off hand.

Greetings, Is the Chelsea funeral home one that my uncle Lester Proctor purchased, and that my cousin Leonard Stark may have managed? Just wondering. John Proctor

Hi John, I can't answer your question, but the other funeral home in Chelsea at that time was: Burghardt Funeral Home 214 E. Middle Chelsea GR 5-4141 Of course in Ypsi today is Stark Funeral Home run in 1967 as: Moore Funeral Home Inc. 101 S. Washington HU 2-4900 At that time R. M. Wagner & L. K. Stark were owners and directors.

Lizzie, I believe that your Steffen family is definitely different from my Staffans. The Staffans figure prominently in the history of Chelsea just outside of Ann Arbor. That is where the original Staffan Funeral home is/was. My Grandfather opened up the home in Ann Arbor in the early 50s or so.

I had Steffen family which was in Ann Arbor, Might this be the same family as the Staffan you posted ???? My greatgreat grandmother was Sarah Sussie(Steffen)Kahl.
