Born Casper Wittman; Died As John Thiers

From the Wayne County, Michigan, Probate Files online at FamilySearch.  Not related to me; just thought the name change, from Casper Wittman to John Thiers, was interesting.  Many of the actual files are online, too, in addition to the index cards, but only through #16980;  #21291 is not online yet.
