Benedictrus Odeimin, 37 year old son of Michael and Mary Ann Odeimin. Informant on the death certificate is Brother Paul Odeimin. Certificate cites cause of death as "dropsy," which by today's medical terms, might have edema due to congestive heart failure.
Burial at Cross Village. Early Holy Cross Parrish Records show a baptism in 1875
Vital Records in Emmet County show the same date of death, 23, March 1913, Liber 3, Folio 427.
No obituary has been located at this time.
A fire in Emmet County Michigan in Cross Village at Holy Cross Rectory burned all vital records to local cemeteries on Febuary 23, 1970
To add to the confusion in researching our Odeimin ancstors, when a death certificate reads "Cross Village," as a place of burial, this could mean:
1) Old Indian at 6100 N Wadsworth Street in Cross Village. Today this is considered the Father Weikamp Cemetery and enclosed by a cyclone fence.
2) Holy Cross Parish Cemetery located just outside Cross Village on W. Levering Road.
3) Old Indian Cemetery AKA, Anamiewatigoing located on Oak Drive
The Native American Cemetery at 6100 N. Wadsworth Street was condemed by the board of health in 1948.
This small plot of land contains hundreds of Indian burials. Our ancestors are in fact, still there but the markers have been removed after the cemetery became full. It is still consecrated ground.
It is very likely that our Odeimin relatves are in the the old Indian cemetery, now known as Fr. Wykeimp Cemetery, If our relatives died before condemnation in 1948.
Based on the time frame of death, resources available for the Cross Village Indian Community during this time period, Notations given on the death certficate as place of burial, the proponderance of evidence indicates this to be burial location.
