Denton, Agnes Greve,
Born November 15, 1889 to Oscar and Flora Lane in Orleans, Michigan and died October 29, 1999 in Pembroke Pines, Florida, just short of her 110th birthday. On February 21, 1910 she married Robert G. Greve in Ann Arbor, Michigan, who preceded her in death in 1960. They had two children, Elizabeth Caroline, married to John Kauffman, both of whom are deceased; and Barbara Jane (Dr. Gordon Carver, deceased) of Hollywood, Florida, she survives. Also surviving are four grandchildren; four great-grandchildren, of Huntsville, Alabama and Hollywood, Florida; and a niece, Roberta Barstow, of Dexter, Michigan. She will be remembered fondly by her many friends and relatives. Agnes was an avid golfer and excellent bridge player. After the death of her husband Robert Greve in 1960 she married Dan Denton. It was Dan who developed the golf course at North Lake, Chelsea. He died in 1980. When she was unable to play golf any longer she would close her eyes, select the club to play, envision the shot, playing the entire course in this manner. On her 100th birthday she was asked what she wanted most-To play golf once more, was her reply. Then, taken to a nearby golf course, the mayor of Pembroke Pines placed a ball on the green, 15 feet from the hole and handed her the putter. She promptly sank the putt! A memorial service will be held in Chelsea at a later date.
