Brief Description of Subject: Harold Harwig (1898-1926). Hazel Hartwig (1905-1921). Lewis and Sophronia Hartwig lived at 127 N. Main Street for many years. They occupied a home located at the site of Dr. Ted Karikomi’s Medical Clinic (now Webberville Animal Clinic). At one time they lived in a house on W. Grand River. Hazel Hartwig died as a result of appendicitis. We did not find the cause of Harold’s death, possibly pneumonia. Hazel died at the age of 16 and Harold at 28. Their youngest daughter Grace, has been a resident at the Ingham County Medical Care Facility on Dobie Road, Okemos, MI for many years. Mr. Hartwig operated the livestock sales in Webberville, which was located in the area north of the tracks. Livestock was shipped by rail to their destination. The window donated in memory of Harold and Hazel Hartwig is located at the head of the stairs as you enter the Bell Tower Room or Narthex.

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.

All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.

If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
