Her parents were Jeheel Ogden and Mary Etta Castleman. She was born in Clarkson, New York. Unfortunately, FamilySearch does not have images of the death certificates. You can order a death cert from the State of Michigan at http://www.michigan.gov/documents/deathapp_6467_7.pdf Since you know her death date, the charge is $26.00 for a one year search. Another option is the City of Detroit Vital records at http://www.detroitmi.gov/DepartmentsandAgencies/DepartmentofHealthWellnessPromotion/VitalRecords.aspx Until recently they did not have access to records prior to 1970. But two weeks ago I visited their office and obtained certificates from 1940 & 1956. The clerk told me that they have records back to the 1930's. The charge is $20.00.
