There are conflicting records for the burial location of Andrew Channell. Mr. Channell died at the Mount Pleasant Hospital on 06 August 1918. The cause of death was tuberculosis. Mr. Channell worked on the railroad. When the undertaker made out Mr. Channell's death record, he listed his place of burial as "Doud's Station." This note possibly is an indication of where the body was sent when it left Mount Pleasant. There is also this obituary which appeared in the Ottumwa Courier:
