I am trying to find an obit. for a Melvin Eugene Lewis who died 04 Mar. 1971 in West Branch, Ogemaw, Michigan. Thank you in advance for anyone who runs across it. I believe that he was married to an Edna Cole, but can't be sure. Hoping the obit. will tell me more.
Thanks again,
Arlene Gertsch

Melvin's death record states that his spouse was Edna Lehr Lewis, will check for obit when I get a day off from work.

Thanks so much! Might be why I can't find anything on her. Melvin had a family in Utah, who he left and no one heard from him again. Hoped his obit would help us figure a few things out.
Thanks again, this was great news!
