~~ he served in Tenth Michigan Volunteer Infantry.~~
Died in 1913.
------------------
The History of Hardin County Iowa, Past & Present, 1911 lists his birth as 1845 in the location that you have. However, on 2 census reports, both list his birth year as Nov 1848 with his wife's birth year matching what is showing in those census reports. Just passing this along.
-----------------------
Other children of John & Rosetta: Jesse, first born child, b 1870, died as an infant; Leo Emery (3-20-1892 IA to 5-5-1960 LA, CA) married to Alta E (b~1896)
