bullet Marriage Notes:

Edward Levi Lightfoot & Minnie Belle Burchett
About 1907 the family moves to Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Edward passes away in 1917 in Minneapolis.
Minnie passes away on 3 Nov 1939 in Minneapolis.

The library was unable to locate an obituary for Edward Levi. His burial is unknown. The Sunset Memorial Park was started in 1922 according to their website.

I recently went to Wayne Co. for further research on the Lightfoot Family. The Library & the records administration were very helpful. Wayne County has microfilmed a lot of their records(including wills & estates) & were moved to the administration building (located 3 blocks from the courthouse).

I am hoping in the near future to return to Wayne Co. & continue my research of the Lightfoot Family.
