Summary

Herman W. Allers (reported born 1881) died in Kalamazoo on May 19, 1961. The June 1961 obituary identifies him as a former Beaver Island resident. A compiled family-tree profile identifies the corresponding Herman William Allers as the father of William T. Allers, born at St. James in 1923.

Evidence and limits

The birth year is reported by a compiled online family tree, not a primary vital record. The full name, child’s island birth, and matching death year provide a useful but still qualified identity bridge. Do not merge with Charles J. Allers or other Allers records without identity evidence.

  3. This compiled family-tree profile identifies William T. Allers, born at St. James, Beaver Island, in 1923, as the child of Herman William Allers and Minnie Hannah Mielke; it gives the father’s lifespan as 1881–1961. The distinctive full name, Beaver Island child, and the local 1961 death notice make this a plausible identity bridge, but it is not a primary vital record. Only the reported birth year is retained pending a civil or census record.
