Jacques Mete' Descendants

The Monroe Evening News, Tuesday, 22 December 1925 Mrs. Celestine Metty, 71, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Edward Dubois, East Elm Avenue, at five o'clock this morning, following an illness of two weeks. She leaves a daughter in Grand Rapds. Funeral services will be held at St. Mary's church, Thursday morning at 8:30 o'clock. Note: The daughter is presumed to be Gertrude Metty, born 30 August 1895 in Detroit, Michigan. I have never been able to learn anymore about Gertrude. Several years ago, my wife and I visited the cemetery in Monroe, where Celestine is buried, but could find no grave for William. I can only assume that he died in Detroit and is buried there.
