My grandfather, Cecil Manuel Amy, lived on the next section west of Hattie. She died in childbirth from complications. Obviously, they waited a bit too long to wed, but then the first one can come anytime the rest take 9 months.
Afterwards, he served in the army in WWI and met his second wife while stationed at Ft Custer in Battle Creek. Her name was Eva L. Smith. He had two children, Margaret and my father Robert Manuel Amy. My mother's maiden name is Anita June McLeod from Lake Odessa Michigan. I have two brothers and a sister (Ronald Mark Amy of Battle Creek, David Michael, and Jan Michel Quigg of Thompsons Corner Tennessee. I have a Family Tree Maker version that I would be willing to send you or perhaps I can extract a report of this side of the family and forward to you.
My grandfathers father was John Amy and his father was Abraham Amy and it appears that they lived somewhere near Allegan MI before moving to Mesick.
In fact we are not really related, but I was quite amazed to find my grandfather's name in your files. I hope information about Hattie is useful and I will leave it to your discretion as to what you want to record about her death in your family
history.
I will be going back to visit family in Kalamazoo over this holiday, it is amazing that Hattie's father died in Kalamazoo county, while I grew up in Battle Creek, completely unaware of Hattie until the last few years.
