MEMORIAL TO...

William George Thomas 1863-1945

William George Thomas was a brother of my great-grandfather Charles Thomas. He operated a barber shop in Watervliet (MI) for over 50 years.

William was well known for his annual deer hunting 'camp' in Michigan's upper peninsula.

William married Jeanette 'Nettie' B. Durren in 1890 and they had six children: Don, twins Lottie and Luttie, Etta, Thelma, and Ralph.

I only have pictures of two of their children - Lottie and Luttie

Their children were all born and died in Berrien County, and are buried in Watervliet Cemetery and Crystal Springs Cemetery in Benton Harbor (MI).
