SWINDLEHURST 4 Jul 1943, Dewitt Twp, MI.18 Died 31 Dec 1944, Lansing, Ingham, MI.19,20 Buried Glendale Cemetery, Okemos, Ingham County, MI.20
Michigan Death Records reports that Florence Swindlehurst died on December 31, 1944 in Lansing just a year and a half after her marriage to Gerald. I find no record of a divorce and, in fact, her marital status on the death record is "married." This is a bit of a puzzle too, since Find A Grave shows her as Florence Dyer supported by a photo of the marker. She is buried with first husband Charles Dyer in Glendale Cemetery, Okemos.
10 Nathaniel Thomas WILDER15,23,24,25,26,27,28 (1868-1939) [7342]. Born 9 Aug 1868, Canada.15,24,25,27,28 Marr Grace Ann WRIGHT 9 Aug 1889, Clio, MI.24 Died 7 Oct 1939, West Branch, MI.28 Buried Brookside Cemetery, West Branch, Ogemaw County, MI.28
11 Grace Ann WRIGHT15,24,29,30 (1873-1918) [7337]. Born 6 Feb 1873, Clio, MI.15,24,29,30,31 Died 26 Jun 1918, Lansing, MI.26,30,31 Buried Campbell Hills Cemetery, West Branch, Ogemaw County, MI.30
From the Genesee County Marriage Records.
Grace Ann Wright age 17 of Clio, born in Clio, father is Albert Wright, mother is Lucy Butler, married on the 9th of Aug. 1889, in Clio by E.M. Butler, Minister of Gospel, witness are Irvin A. Wright and Minnie Palmer, to Nathaniel Wilder age 21 of West Branch, born in Canada, occupation is farmer, father is Thomas Wilder, mother is Matilda Keetch, 1st marriage for both.
3 Berenice Leona BENNETT1,4,6,7,32 (1901-1973) [7612]. Born 26 May 1901, Cairo, MI.4,6,32 Died 15 Jan 1973, Delhi, Ingham County, MI.32 Buried Glendale Cemetery, Okemos, Ingham County, MI.7
The Michigan Death Index reports that Berenice was born May 26, 1901 and died January 15, 1973 in Delhi, MI. Oddly, Find A Grave reports a one year difference in both birth year and death year - 1900 and 1972 instead of the above reported years in the Michigan Death Index. This also reports that the death location was Holt instead of Delhi. Burial in Glendale Cemetery, Okemos.
