newspaper away from the Hartford area, please send it. Past obituaries
will be added as time permits. Death notices are also posted

Many requests are made for obituary
notices and this is a good genealogical resource, as well as
providing obits to extended family members who may not have an
original. Searching previous year obituaries (mainly prior to
2003) requires a good deal of time. If you found this to be a valuable
resource and would like to be a sponsor toward keeping the
obituaries page updated, send donations to History of
Hartford Obituaries, Emma Sefcik, 59320 62nd St, Hartford MI
49057. Since the History of Hartford website is a voluntary
effort, your contribution is much appreciated.
Email the webmaster
with any correction of obvious errors that may have
occurred in the original newspaper obit.

Mrs. Russell J. DuBois who recently moved to Hartford from
Bangor township. Miss DuBois who was stricken with

1941] after having lived in an iron lung at the Borgess hospital
in Kalamazoo and the Blodgett hospital, Grand Rapids, where she
died.

church, conducted the services with former classmates serving as
casket bearers. Burial was in the Maple Hill cemetery.
