Looking for family of Cora Ann McKenzJe
To the Editor:
My daughter was given some artifacts about a woman
who grew up in Atlanta. She tried looking up the lady's
family over the internet, but was unsuccessful. So she
gave them to me in hopes I could return them to her
family.
The woman's name is Cora Ann McKenzie. Among the
few photos in the photo album are Cora's high school
diploma dated 1941 and a teacher certificate dated 1942.
Cora attended several colleges before graduating from
Eastern Michigan University. She taught for over 33 years
in Michigan public schools.
Cora was married for 33 1/z years to Edwin Kleiss. They
had a daughter Sandi and a grandson Sean. (This infor-
mation was dated 1982.) Cora came from a large family;
she had two sisters and six brothers.
Cora obviously treasured these items once. The di-
ploma is in immaculate condition, even after 72 years.
The same can be said for her teaching certificate. These
items should belong to her daughter or grandson.
If anyone reading this knows the family, or better yet, is
a relative of Cora's, please let me know by contacting me
at 9821 Fritz Rd., Atlanta, MI 49709. Both my daughter
and myself would be happy to return them.
Sincerely,
Sharon Dennis, Atlanta
Editors note: After receiving this letter, I went through
our newspapers from 1941 and found Cora McKenzie's
graduation class information. It states that her parents
were Mr. and Mrs. Orley McKenzie of Briley Township.
Her classmates were Dorothy E. Briley, Gladys A.
McMurphy, Joel E. Secrist, Arnold J. Edwards, Olive V.
Edwards, GrantJ. Valentine, Edith Mac Wyllys, Daisy Bell
Mitchell and Robert L. Boice. If anyone has information
on how to contact Cora's family, please contact Sharon
Dennis so that the items may be returned.
