MAPLE GROVE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH OBITUARIES
FHC Film #1673578, Item 3
This film contains a booklet filled with undated clippings of unnamed
newspapers. I copied a few pages that contained an obit I wanted for
myself,
but will transcribe the entire pages to this list in the hope that they
will
help someone else. They appear to involve several different area
churches.
It will likely take a few postings.

church, at 10:30 a.m., conducted by Rev. Mr. KUSY. Mr. Barber's death was

Plymouth via Walkerton in the evening, and was walking from Teegarden to
his
