That obituary, if it was placed in the paper in the 1st place, would have been in the Lapeer County Press. Occasionally Lapeer County residents have them in the Flint Journal. Neither one of them have an online archive. The LCP is on microfilm and you can find that at the library in Lapeer, at the County Press and at the Library of Michigan in Lansing. The Lapeer County Genealogical Society has the old card catalogue filled with obits, anniversary announcements and "Parade of Little People" clippings. Far from complete, but an excellent source. I live right in Lapeer and can look this up if you need me to.
