The obit for my 2nd gr. granduncle James G. MANN, 3/23/1916 White Cloud Eagle, says that he had been a deacon in the Baptist church in Grant, Newaygo Co MI for many years. Would that church still be in Grant? What would be its address? Would that church or one of its members have any old photographs that were taken between 1900 and 1916 of church members? Would the local library have any photographs of the church from that era? I have a picture of two of James brothers with another unknown brother. We are trying to prove that the unknown brother is James. Thank you very much for your time.
