I post the stones as laid, but this is from a contributor who believes another person actually occupies this grave:
Contributor: Zana Darrow (50982334) wrote: Vanda Apmann is Vanda Rodewald. She is the daughter of August and Augusta Rodewald who own the plot of 8 gravesites. The 2 Apmann children are their grandchildren through their daughter Adeline Rodewald Apmann. My grandmother was a 3rd sister. She showed me a picture of Vanda in her coffin and I verified with the cemetery records.
Complicating things, Vanda's birth registration says Edna. Her parents didn't speak much english. We have been speculating that assigning her the last name of Apmann may have been a one of the unmarried girls that came to the farm to wait out the birth of their baby and she was left behind. Augusta was a midwife. Later, she ran a home for unwed mothers in Baraboo. I am waiting to hear from other decendents about ideas to somehow get the Rodewald on or next to her stone.
