Julietta Graham

Julietta was the daughter of Zephaniah and Abigail Graham (my great-great-great grandparents). Julietta died at age 16, on December 22, 1872. The cause of her death was typhoid fever.

Place of death was Waterford, Michigan. Record of her death is here:

Looking for a burial place but haven't found it yet. Also trying to figure out why the family was in Waterford, when all the census records I have show them living in Genesee and/or Saginaw counties.

Eliza, George, Alzina, William

My favorite Michigan genealogy website, seekingmichigan.org, has just added more death certificate images - woohoo! I immediately started searching for any ancestors who may have died between 1921 and 1947 hoping to strike genealogy gold. And strike I did, in the form of my great-great-great grandmother Eliza Rich. To break it down: Eliza was the mother of Ida, my great-great-grandmother Ida was the mother of Viola, my great-grandmother Viola was the mother of Doris, my grandmother Doris was the mother of Janice, my mother. Eliza has interested me for some time. Years ago, I saw a picture of her in a photo album that used to belong to my grandmother. After she passed, my mom kept the photo album. It was a blurry picture taken outdoors; Eliza was standing in profile, looking off into the distance. I always remember my mom saying that photo was the oldest picture in the whole album (but we didn't know when it was actually taken - Eliza looked older in the photo, so it...
