[Fowler] Van Wicklin included documentation on Shirley Fay Van Wicklin's birth
and death dates from Michigan Death Certificates, 1921-1952. As Esther says
"Shirley Fay may have lived for only one day in June of 1926 but she still has
the last name of Van Wicklin and deserves to be on the family's web page."
