I saw your reply on cemeteries in Hillsdale County. I am trying to find information about a Margaret Haight, wife of Levi Haight, both of whom are bured in the Allen Twonship cemetery in Hillsdale County. I am specifically looking for the place of death for Margaret - County records say she died elsewhere. She died in 1905, Levi died in 1879 - county does have a record for him. Do you know of a point of contact for the cemetery that might have Margaret's place of death? Thanks
