BRUNDAGE & SPARROW: 1940 Southfield, Oakland Co., Michigan

[Zacktyr]

Hi listers,
I have been trying for a very long time to locate a death/burial for Agnes SPARROW, the mother-in-law of James BRUNDAGE who had married [?] Agnes' daughter Lillian.  Agnes SPARROW was aged 86 on the 1940 census.  In 1940 they were living at 20766 Oakland Drive, Southfield...please note I have the 1940 census details.

James Sparrow is believed to have died Aug 1966 [taken from S.S.N. details] last residence being Detroit, Wayne Co., Michigan.  But I have no death details of his wife, Lillian BRUNDAGE, either.

Access to local newspapers is lacking from my end so any assistance in this regard would be most welcome.

Thank you.
Susan

Hi, Shellyesq

You are an absolute star!!!

The Agnes Sparrow is definitely her confirmed by the inclusion of the Cronk name, as is the Lillian Brundage.  I can't believe after all these years we finally know where and when Agnes died!  Hallelujiah!

Many thanks.  And, many thanks for the quick reply to my post.

Have a terrific 2013, ours just got a little better thanks to your efforts.
