Death Records Now

One Friday, there were 3 nuns riding on a mountain road. They were coming around a turn when a semi rammed into them head on killing them instantly. They were coming to the gates of heaven and noticed a sign that said “Closed for Remodeling”. One nun knocked on the gates and out came St. Peter. He said, “What are you doing here! No one is supposed to be here! We are closed for the weekend for remodeling!”

The one nun said, “Well, we’re dead and we can’t go back.” “Alright,” said St. Peter. “What we are going to do is send you back for the weekend as whoever you wish to be and then we’ll accept you back into Heaven,” exclaimed St. Peter as he looks at the first nun.

“Okay, who do you want to be?” he asks the nun. “Well, I thought her life was very interesting especially since she gave her life to God, so I want to be Joan of Arc.” Poof!

The first nun becomes Joan of Arc. “Okay, You’re next,” as her looks at the second nun, “Who do you want to be?” “! ! Well, I thought her life was very interesting and she died a tragic death, so I want to become Marilyn Monroe,” pronounces the second nun. Poof!

The second nun becomes Marilyn Monroe. “Okay, who do you want to be?” St. Peter says to the third nun. “I want to be Alice Kapipelean.” “Excuse me?!?” confusingly asks St. Peter. “I want to be Alice Kapipelean!” exclaims the nun. St. Peter replies, “Pardon me Sister, we have no record of any Alice Kapipelean being on earth,” explains St. Peter.

“There is TOO an Alice Kapipelean and I have proof right HERE!!!” shouts the nun. St. Peter takes the news article and reads it. “Oh my, Sister. You have misread this article. This article says that the Alaska Pipeline was laid by 500 men in six months.”

LOL THAT HAD 2 BE EMBARRISING LOL

thats funny thanks for the laugh

He was living in Jackson, Michigan but were unable to find just what cemetery

he was buried in or if he has family left. Is Albion
maybe a possibility? That’s Albion, Michigan. Thank you

EDIT: You have very rich family heritage indeed. Even though I am having a hard time finding Thomas Chehowski, it seems that your lineage is to be found in the Riverside Cemetery.

If I were you, I’d go to the Riverside Cemetery and do some personal investigation.

EDIT: I am adding this in hopes it helps. I copied and pasted this paragraph from this link–http://www.lithuaniangenealogy.org/articles/Michigan/albion.html

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&fkt=741&fsdt=4805&q=ancestors+chehowski&aq=f&oq=&aqi=
then click on Lithuanians in Albion, Michigan (I added this link just in case the link up above doesn’t work).

Now, when you click on the link, read the second paragraph more carefully. If you need more information on your ancestory, the gentleman who authored this article will gladly help you out.

You see his name? I’m excited and I hope you are too. His name is Frank Passic, Albion Historian.

I can’t help it. When I find any little diamonds in the rough that might help in your search, I have to give it to you. I suggest you read the whole story for it’s very interesting.

Another Lithuanian living here in the 1920s was Modist Kazlauckas (1893-1942). A native of Lithuania, Modist (his father’s name was Kasper) came to Albion from nearby Battle Creek where he had worked as a cook at the Post Tavern. He married a local Polish girl, Clara (Chehowski) Marzic, in 1924. The couple had an infant son, Kasper Klaus Kazlauckas, who met an untimely death at one month old on September 5, 1928. Clara had gone upstairs to check on the baby and found it dead–it had been bitten by a spider. The family then moved to Grand Rapids, where Clara (1905-1941) met a tragic death from burns received in a kerosene explosion in her home. Modist died a year later in 1942, and the family is buried in the Catholic Section of Riverside Cemetery, next to the Miknevich family. They are listed in the cemetery records under the shortened surname "Kaus."

This seems to support the obiturary, that is posted below, about Clara Kaus. And, as you can see in the obituary posted below, Thomas Chehowski is her father.

Of course, being that Clara Kaus was born in 1905, I don’t think this is the same Thomas Chehowski because the one you’re looking for was born in 1904.

There is also the possiblity that this particular Clara and Thomas were brother and sister.

EDIT: This is one other option. It’s called ancestorsatrest.com and it costs $2.95/month–http://ancestorsatrest.com/michigan.shtml

EDIT: I keep trying different things and still no luck. I even tried this.–http://www.ancestorhunt.com/michigan-genealogy.htm

EDIT: It seems that you will have to scour through the cemetaries to locate him.

NOTE: If he served in the military, I have found this record.
36404325-CHEHOWSKI,TOM-KALAMAZOO, Mi–Since this shows that the date of enlistment was 10/13/42, this is probably not him. http://files.usgwarchives.net/mi/calhoun/military/ww2/enlistment/armyenli73gmt.txt

I will start my search here for you and see what I can find.
