You can email them at the following: http://www.detroit.lib.mi.us/burton/burton_index.htm Or the Bentley Historical Library in Ann Arbor. They will make copies for a fee but the look-up may be free. http://bentley.umich.edu/refhome/refform.php I don't know if people who are renters will show up in the reverse.

They have an index to City of Detroit (only) deaths from about 1920 on. They also have several books with indexes to Wayne County deaths excluding the City of Detroit from about 1934-1944. You can email them at the following: http://www.detroit.lib.mi.us/burton/burton_index.htm Be sure to ask them if they will look at both indexes. You might also try the Dearborn Historical Museum. They have some kind of index to the Dearborn papers but not sure for what years and what exactly they indexed. You would either have to call or write them. They also have City Directories-not sure what years.

Hope they might help someone JANUARY 20, 1888 FLAT ROCK Sorry to hear of Mrs. Vincent Burroughs severe accident at Carleton in breaking her arm. It seems misfortune never comes singly. C. C. Hitchcock is still in the grain trade and daily receives a large supply at his elevator on the track of the Lake Shore at this place. We are glad to hear that the cabinet officers whose confirmation by the senate has long hung fire, have at last been confirmed and are sworn into office. Wesley B. Littlefield is laying in a big supply of coal, wood at his kilne at the central crossing. A good number of men are engaged chopping in that vicinity. James Fynns, now upon the Vreeland farm has leased the Patrick Godfrey place upon the river road for the term of five years and moves there in the early spring. A donation for the Rev. Robert Parsons of the Congregational Church will be held at Lobdell's opera house on Wednesday evening, January 25. All are cordially invited to be present. The remains of Frank Eisle who died some six weeks ago, and which were placed in the vault of Oakwood Cemetery, were taken there from on Wednesday last and buried in their final resting place. The remains of Elias Stroh, who was burned to death a few months ago in the terrible English Kitchen fire on Jefferson Avenue, Detroit, and placed in the vault of Oakwood Cemetery at the time, were taken out and deposited in their last resting place a few days since. Hon. Henry Woodruff of Farwell, Michigan is visiting relatives in this place and Detroit. He was one of earliest settlers here, way back in the 80's before the "wild cat" times of Michigan, and has served several years in the Senate and House of Representatives of Michigan, from his Northern District. _____________________________________________________________________ JANUARY 27, 1888 CARLETON W. H. Talcott spent Sunday at Ann Arbor. Rabbit hunting reported quite good by our sports. Big bargains in winter clothing at Edwards of Adame. Freight business on the Lake Shore has increased of late. John Boston and family have moved in their residence here. Cabinet photographs $2 and $3 per dozen at M. F. Skidmore's. J. G. Crane left Thursday for a visit in Livingston County. E. R. Williams of Ahtabold, Ohio, spent Sunday at Mr. Edwards. H. Francisco, pension attorney, continues to be at Carleton every Wednesday at Talcott's law office. Save money by buying your clothing of Edwards & Adams. Large stock to select from. H. C. Talbot has sold his interest in the Grafton coal iln to P. Maynes who will continue the business. Get your pictures framed at photography gallery. Frames made to order any size. Grand ball at Hood's opera ball, Monday evening, Feb. 13. Music by Boehme's full orchestra of Monroe. Lyceum organized with J. C. Crane president. Question argued last Saturday night decided in the affirmative. Meetings every Saturday night. We have just opened the largest line of embroideries ever shown in Carleton. Call and see them. H. C. Talbot & Co. Found dead on the L. S. and M. S. side track Thursday morning, a valuable dog belonging to C. F. Thayer. An inquest was held and pronounced his death caused by 30 calibre shot. The revival of the Evangelical Church closed Sunday evening, Jan 22. Mrs. Lucy Pierce, Miss Pennock, Miss Ella Clark and Miss Dollie Pierce united with the Church Sunday evening. The M. E. quarterly meeting was held here last Saturday and Sunday with good attendance. The presiding elder was not present but his place was very ably filled by the pastor, Rev. Giberson, who delivered a fine sermon in the morning and another in the evening. Three members were received in full connection. A mistake was made last week in stating that Milton Artley's suit against Nelson Richards for wagon work was discontinued by the latter paying both bill and costs. The facts as given us by one of the principals are that Mr. Richards answered the summons and asked for an adjournment of two weeks. This was granted. On the following day a settlement was effected through the mediation of a third party. Mr. Artley withdrawing the suit and paying costs and Mr. Richards paying the bill. EXETER A correspondent writes: As you published in your issue of last week' people's ticket for the township of Ash and as there must always be some opposition, I will name in a few candidates for a labor party ticket.

SOUTH ROCKWOOD Miss Mary Laura is visiting friends in Detroit this month. Alfred Lafountaine drew the oil paintings at the social last week. Who says that we have not at least one very popular young man? We have one who took seven girls to the dance in Burton's Hall. There is to be a donation visit at the residence of A. A. Schuerer on Friday evening of this week. The Herald comes out to late to let it be known in time. Mr. Albert Upham's essay on Tyre and Sidon was heard with great interest last Sunday. The essays will probably be quite an interesting feature of the Sunday school. A jolly load of young people from Flat Rock attended our social last week. We hope those same cow bells and more with them will jingle down this way again next week. The entertainment and social last Saturday evening drew out a large crowd, about 350 being present. Messrs. Campbell and Sanderson of Detroit, who so kindly donated their services for the benefit of the church gave a very fine entertainment which was highly appreciated by all. The magic lantern views were good and of an almost endless variety; the shadow pantomine went off in fine style; the grab bag made lots of fun; chances on the painting went off very fast indeed and the refreshments were just the thing for a cold evening. The occasion will long be remembered. Proceeds over $47. Mr. Benjamin Tharp had a stroke of paralysis last week Tuesday. He ate a hearty breakfast in th morning, went visiting in the forenoon, ate a good dinner, and took a walk in the afternoon feeling perfectly well. While at supper he was taken suddenly, and died the next day without recovering and probably without pain. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon at the church. He was over 86 years of age at his death. Coming to Michigan over 35 years ago. FEBRUARY 10, 1888 TRENTON Alex Gee is on the sick list. Mrs. McBlain, an old lady, died on Monday.

The smoke stack has been raised at the new mill this week. Our colored citizen Johnson is very sick with small prospects of recovery. Wm. Park removed his buildings to Washington avenue, and will put up a store in front of the same. Mrs. John Simmons returned from Detroit, whither she went to have her eyes operated on, prostrated by sickness. Alfred Bailey has greatly improved the appearance of his store by giving it a new coat of paint inside and making repairs. A party of 55 gathered at the home of Angus Armstrong at Sibley's quarry on Saturday last and enjoyed themselves tripping the light fantastic and playing euchre.

Joseph Kowalski and Anastasia Pokrzewinska were marred in the Catholic Church in what is now Radzyn Chelminski in the previous Polish province of Bydgoszcz on 10 October 1850. He was 24 and she was 20. They had been living in the town of Gawlowice. The family immigrated to the U.S. in 1883 and settled in Detroit. Their daughter Marianna was married to Frank Pocierznicki in Poland, and they immigrated in 1882. Their daughter Julia married John Sroczynski in Poland, and they came to the U.S, about 1882. All these couples raised their families n Detroit. In Detroit their son Joseph Kowalski married Apolonia Skibinska on 14 June 1886 at St. Albertus Church. Then on 9 January 1888 their daughter Rosalia Kowalski married John Wisniewski in Detroit. Their son Franz Kowalski immigrated with Joseph and Anastasia, but other records for him have not surfaced. I would be willing to share information with others related to these people. Joseph Martin Romeoville, Illinois -- "Reality leaves a lot to the imagination." John Lennon
