Here are the obits you asked for plus a copy of the memorial card for Charles. Don't know what paper the obits are from but they were found in the records at the Howell Area Archives.

My mother often mentioned a Mr. McRorie that was her teacher at one time and he lived in Gregory. I have my mother's Eighth Grade Diploma from the Unadilla Township Schools and it is signed by Charles H. McRorie, Superintendent. Dated 26 May 1927.
