I am looking for a volunteer who is in the area of Ann Arbor who could do a newspaper lookup for a specific death notice. I don't have the name of the paper, or the date, but I do have a copy of the actual article. July 2 occurred on a Friday in the years 1869, 1875, 1880, 1886, 1897, the time frame in which this death would have occurred. Anyone out there who could help? Here is an exact transcription: DIED. On Friday, July 2d, Theodore Christopher, son of Theodore and Elizabeth Bruegel, of Diptheria, aged four years and seven months. Even at this tender age, this dear child had learned the object of this life. A few hours only before his death he asked the question and also gave the answer: "Where is my home, mamma?" The mother answering "Here with mamma," but raising himself a little upon his pillow, he pointed upward with his little finger, saying, "Jesus loves me!" Can any one doubt that he understood his destiny and that his home would soon be with Jesus? appreciatively, ginny

The GENDIS database lists: BREUGEL, THEODOREC Date of death: 2-Jul-1869 Ledger Page: 285 Record Number: 1 Place of death: 1st Ward Ann Arbor County of Death: Washtenaw Sex: Male Race: White Marital Status: Not Recorded Age: 4 years 7 months Cause of Death: Diphtheria Birthplace: 1st Ward Ann Arbor Occupation: Father's Name: Breugel, Theodore Father's Residence: 1st Ward Ann Arbor Mother's Name: Breugel, Elizabeth Mother's Residence: 1st Ward Ann Arbor Date of record: 20-May-1870 This is a pretty obvious hit. The year is 1869. Enjoy!
