In Memoriam. William Hovey Gay. Fountain Street Baptist Church; service at Park Congregational Church, May 21, 1920. 00.[3717].1
Scope and Contents
Published memoriams are useful sources of biographical information, but can be uneven in their coverage, and are specifically created to memorialize the person at death. Similarly, obituaries are well valued for biographical information. Obituaries are generally not included in this collection. They are readily found for Grand Rapids area citizens, as published in the local press, using the index 1910-the present, on the Western Michigan Genealogical website, http://data.wmgs.org/...then printing them from the preservation microfilm located in the department. There is also a clipping file of many, though not all, local obituaries, for the 1930s to the 1970's, in the department.
