Biography

grooms age 24, bride 16. Witnesses Jon Neddel, and Rose Neddel both of Harris, MI. Brides father listed as K Abba and mother as Kate Markwiller (I think this is a transcript error)

After death of Husband Merrick J Cartwright, Catherine married Eli Arvey in 1952 age 68. Eli was age 79

Catherine,and Merrick are buried in Fernwood Cemetary, Gladstone, Delta Co., MI. Avery is also on the tombstone, so I can only ASSUME that Eli Avery was also buried their but is not known for sure at this time. (See findagrave.com for picture.
