I spoke with the owner of the property, Brian Moore, and he told me the original records were lost in a fire but the library had records from the mid to late 1980's when it was retranscribed by volunteers from Lansing. The records contained about 50 names. I got almost 50 photos myself from there and and some were not on their list and some on their list I couldn't find. I compiled them both together.
