3. Bennett-Barz Funeral Home, “Martin Duane Newstead,” January 2025, republished by the Traverse City Record-Eagle.
   The funeral-home obituary identifies Martin Duane Newstead as the son of Duane Newstead and Caroline Ramey (Kenwabikise), and says Caroline was deceased by his January 14, 2025 death. Together with the 1959 marriage notice, this directly bridges Caroline Kenwabikisse to the later Ramey name and establishes only the bounded death date; it gives no birth date or exact death date.
4. Bennett-Barz Funeral Home, “Caroline Stella Ramey,” January 2024, republished by the Benzie County Record Patriot.
   The funeral-home obituary identifies Caroline Stella Ramey (Kenwabikise), born June 18, 1941 in St. James, Michigan to Paul and Isabell (Wabanimkee) Kenwabikise, and reports her January 25, 2024 death in Benzonia, Michigan. It also names Marty Newstead among her children, independently supporting the identity bridge to the 1959 marriage notice.
5. Marie LaFreniere, “Caroline Kenwabikise Ramey RIP,” Beaver Island Forum, January 29, 2024.
   The forum obituary and condolence reply preserve community remembrance of Ramey’s St. James upbringing, Native American artwork, regalia sewing, outdoor life, family care, and planned celebration of life. The funeral-home obituary remains the stronger source for the exact identity and death date; the forum post does not independently establish those facts.
