Suburban Village of South Grand Rapids

I wonder if Cook and Harmon were vacated.    This is not an area I was familiar with as a child and freeway expansion encompassed much of it so more intermediate research is needed. 

Although an early suburb to the City of Grand Rapids,  Beverly, unlike nearby South Grand Rapids, was never annexed by the City of Grand Rapids but when an attempt was made during the 1960's, the City of Wyoming was created.  .There are more pages in the plat book not included here on other suburban areas that would eventually become the City of Wyoming.
