ROSEMARY POLEY

Rosemary Poley Will Be Missed

Rosemary Poley, a chater member of Lenawee county Family Researchers, died on
December 18, 1992.

She had been diagnosed with cancer about 3 years ago and responded well to
treatment, until recently.  During the night of December 12-13 she suffered a
massive stroke and did not regain consciousness.

Rosemary served as recording secretary of our society for many years.  Her
detailed minutes of our meetings will remain as a memorial of her enthusiasm
and helpfulness.

She often opened her home for workshops and parties, and was always eager and
friendly to callers seeking information about joining our society.

Rosemary had completed a book about her family and had distributed copies to
family members.  

She will be remembered and missed.
