Schoolcraft County Michigan Queries

I am hoping that you or someone there could do a little research for me. Please let me know in advance the cost if it can be done. I'm also hoping that it was OK to e-mail this address for this reason. I am looking for the burial place of Alice WOOD CLARKE, born in Ohio in 1850, widow of Dillon P. Clarke, moved to Manistique, Schoolcraft Co. with her daughter Mattie. Mattie was born in Ohio in 1874, married Angus McLEOD in MI. They had a daughter, Edith born in MI in 1898. Unknown who Edith married or if there were any other children. Alice was living in the McLeod household in the 1920 census and I don't know how much longer she lived after that. I would like to know of any decendants and would be interested in contacting them. Would also like to know where Mattie and Edith are buried. If this is a problem or if you don't do this or know of anyone who does, please advise so I am not waiting for information that is not forthcoming. Again, if there is a cost please advise. Thank you for your time and consideration.
