I thank you for the effort. I was as I said wanting to see a copy of the image to compare it with what I have from family pix. There was also a son named Fredrick, whom I am not sure if I have his picture or not. Do you know know any World Connect information on the family. I have searched before but had not found any, but there may be something in there that I just cannot find. Again, Thank You for your kindness, Herb...

Olivet Cemetery according to his death certificate which appears on SeekingMichigan.org The Mt. Elliott Cemetery website is not working properly. It includes Mt. Olivet. They updated their website and it doesn't seem to work the same as the old one did. Anyway, try it later or email them and ask who else is buried with him. http://www.mtelliott.com/genealogy/ The index to Michigan County Death Certificates (1921-1952)shows the following which I think is the wife that you are looking for. V sound like W and W sounds like a V when a German speaking person speaks English. Also Bs and Ps seem to get mixed up somehow. Anyway,her name was probably Walpurga or Walburga-look the name up on google. The 1880 census shows her name as Walpurga and the census was taken by someone whose last name appears to be of German origin and would probably be familiar with her given name. >From www.FamilySearch.org Name: Walburger Wick Event Type: Death Event Date: 25 Aug 1925 Event Place: Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, United States Gender: Female Age: 86 Marital Status: Widowed Birth Date: 25 Apr 1839 Birthplace: Switzerland Birth Year (Estimated): 1839 Father's Name: Mother's Name: Mary Karrer GS Film number: 001972974 Digital Folder Number: 005362532 Image Number: 00197 You can get her death certificate from the City of Detroit for $22.00 (I think). They were supposed to show the images of the death certificates but apparently there is some problem with displaying stuff online.

I don't remember if there were any at all in the paper. I think if the person was well-known or notorious, the paper might have an article. Death notices use to appear in the classified section of the papers but I couldn't tell you when they started. I know they are there in the 1930s or 1940s. Now, if you were asking about St. Louis MO papers, I have some from the 1880s. Maybe someone at the main Detroit Public Library could tell you. Phone (313) 481-1300 Or maybe someone in the Burton Collection might know.

Her father's name was Arnold "Pat" Jurn and her mother's name was Nadean Schook/Schock-Jurn. Nadean was already deceased when her dauther died in 1956.
