in Bay City on September 26, 1901.  Mr. and Mrs. Kurzrock moved to Ogemaw 
county from Bay City 24 years ago and had made their home here since that 
time.  He had retired from his work with the Michigan Bell Telephone Co. in 
the year 1937, after 25 years of employment with that organization.  He was a
