OBITUARY - Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, August 20, 1920

The funeral for Mrs. C. A. Squires was held at the residence Wednesday afternoon at 2:30.  It was very largely attended and the floral offerings were many and beautiful, one piece especially needs special mention that sent by the Masonic lodge of Detroit.  The music was furnished by Chandler Haight, who sang, "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere."  The bearers were George Nichols, Ed Spencer, Ed Merriett, W. T. Smith, William B. Van Vliet and Frank Hecox.  Rev. W. K. Spencer officiated and interment was in the family lot at Oak Hill.  Those from out of the city here to attend the funeral were Mrs. Ed Horrigan of Davenport, Ia., C. C. and M. D. Squier of Detroit, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Squier of Detroit, Donald Squier of Detroit and Mrs. Williams of Grand Rapids.

It was a tough one but it wasn't the most difficult find in the census for me. My grandfather's name was James Herschel Garrett and the family surname was listed as Herschel not Garrett. The names weren't even transposed -- there was no Garrett to be found. I knew they were in Flint (MI) in 1930 because my mother was born there in that year (not born yet when the census was taken), so I did a search for "Bonnie" age 5 (my aunt) for the area and found them. They were living near my grandmother's sister, so I knew I had the right family.
