#52Ancestors: Week 19 – Revisiting Doris Anderson

This is week 19 of the 2015 #52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks Challenge where a group of u52ancestors-2015 Images blog about a different ancestor for each week of the year.  To learn more about the 52 Ancestor Challenge visit Amy Johnson’s site at Amy’s website.

In the 2014 edition of the Ancestors Challenge I wrote a blog on #52 Ancestors – No. 14 – Doris M Anderson.  Doris is the sister of my grandmother Edith Anderson Budny.  I discovered Doris through an old family picture. Seeking Michigan has been adding images of death certificates up to 1947 on their website.

The Anderson family lived in Bay City, Michigan. Doris’s father, Ernest Anderson, died in 1925.  Her mother Minnie White, remarried to William O’Neil in December 1926.

Doris died as a child in 1927.  I guessed that she most likely succumb to a childhood illness.  Sadly, her death was caused by being hit by a car.  She was only five years old.
