i need to see the actual obituary for jetina spidell from michigan?

Answer 1

do you know where she lived, what city? do you know when she died? did you google her? sometimes recent obits show up in google searches.

Answer 2

Is this the Jetina Spidell from Ada, (Kent County) MI? Born Nov. 25, 1910? Died Nov. 8, 1998?

Her obituary apparently was published in the Grand Rapids Press on Nov. 9, 1998

However, I do not believe that a free online version is available. You will need to use the online order with the Western Michigan Genealogical Society at this URL:

Answer 3

For her obituary you'll have to look up the Grand Rapids Press at the local library. They no longer archive their obituaries since they contracted that out to Legacy.com. I checked with Legacy.com and Jetina died just before they started keeping the records for Grand Rapids. So your only option is to get a copy off microfilm at the library.

I did find this, though, from November 30, 2001. It's interesting not only in how much information it gives, but even in the fact that it gives the victim's name:

Man will get prison for Ada rape. Joseph Adkins (age 36) pleaded "guilty" to attacking Jetina Spidell (age 87) in 1998, just before jury selection began for his trial Monday. During the assault, her skull was fractured and her cheekbone broken. She was so traumatized that investigators say she slept in a closet afterward. She died of cancer 10 months later. Adkins was also accused of attacking two other Ada-area women (aged 72 and 82) in 1997 and in 2000. He pleaded "guilty" to just one assault as part of a plea bargain. He could get life in prison at his sentencing in January.

Answer 4

You will have to find the newspaper in which it was published for which you will have to know the date. Depending on the city, this may be available only in the town library, or also from the state historical society. I saw and made copies of various obituaries of my great-aunt and her husband by 1) paying for copies from his clipping file in the newspaper files of the Minneapolis Papers in the Minneapolis Library, 2) Borrowing on interlibrary loan the microfilm of newspaper in Ames Iowa for the period in which she died, 3) Walking into the Library in Austin MN and looking at the local microfilm of the town paper where he is buried.
If you actually mean the death certificate, that is much trickier and depends on the state and when you are talking about.
