Narrative

According to the Firmer Ralph Clarey, son of Shirley's older brother Firmer Albin Clarey, Shirley accidentally drowned after walking across a frozen pond next to a paper mill in Battle Creek (Calhoun Cty, Michigan) when the ice broke, causing him to fall into the water. The Michigan Death Record I had found for him gave his date of death as being in May of 1915; for there to be ice on a pond at that point in the spring is not unheard of in that region, but it certainly would have been a very precarious choice to make at that time of year.
