Do you have any information on Orcella Needham? She probably was born around 1860 and died around 1889 or 1890. She married Charles Van Marter who was from Mayfield Township. They had four children, Blanche (Belcher), Edna ( Russ), Birty???, and Morris Gomery ( my grandfather )(adopted by the Sanders family of Flint in 1891.
She may have been injured in a fire near Lapeer around 1890. It has taken me two years to find her name and I would like to find the names of her family members.I suspect she was a member of the Needham family you are researching although I have no proof. I don't know where she was buried but suspect it was in Lapeer County.
Thank you,
