I am looking for someone with a knowledge of local names who help me with a widow who died in Grand Traverse County on 3 April 1911. Her maiden name was HARRIET HALE. I have seen a death certificate but can not make out the last name.
It is perhaps PADDEU, or PADDIU, or PADDEUS, or PADDUS. She was born in Michigan about 1842. Her brother was ASA or ASAHEL HALE, who had been in the 24th Michigan Infantry in the civil War. Her brother's wife was ELMIRA KENT (HALE).
