I found an Ettie Tift on Rootsweb.com World Connect; Information states she married an L. J. Crank-
shaw on Feb. 21, 1906 in Michigan possibly Lapeer Co. States she died Nov. 4, 1906, presumably in Lapeer Co., MI. L. J. remarried later and is buried at River Ridge Cem., Belding, Ionia Co., MI with
his second wife. The Findagrave.com memorial #81610633 says nothing in reference to Ettie.
I did not find a marriage record for Ettie and L.J. but I'm sure there would be a death certificate on her if she died in 1906. Rebecca Trisch is in my husband's line. If I can assist any further please contact me. Linda

Hello... I have been to those graves many times. When I drive through, I make it a point to stop. I have been trying for years to make contact with Rebecca's descendants. Can tell you quite a bit.

Her death certificate is on SeekingMichigan.org. Not ours.
