with George Taft because of the age difference in the record and obituary.
Believe it or not, the death record could belong to another person. There were a lot of drownings in the area back then. There are 3 large rivers and Lake Michigan and every year they took their toll.

Although the death record does say the person is in Evergreen, it still may be a different person than George Taft.
