The lady that kept the books for many years made unbeievable notations on the axtual records that have been of much assistance to me. Some things noted were maiden names, parent, some graves have 2 or 3 bodies in them and all these are nted..some surprises there! just all sort of stuff. I no longer have the contact info for her, ut perhaps someoe does? i think her last name was "Love"? I would love to have the contact for this person if anyone has it. My g-g-grandmother, Lydia Seamans Wise and her mother, Louisa Sheldon Seamans are both buried at Delphi Falls Cemetery. Lydia died 1881 and her husband Charles Wise brought his two young children to Detroit. His son, John Lurrell Wise was my great grandfather and was an artist in Detroit from 1890s until he died. One of my favorite paintings was a picture that my grandmother said he painted when he returned from a visit to Delphi Falls around 1910. It is a picture of the Falls and a white building with a lot of windows that look like the church... it really is a beautiful picture. This post got me motivated to put the family history online so if anyone wants to take a look here is a link. I added some pictures of Delphi Falls and the church that I have found online.
