The California Death Index for "Folger J Munneke" had his DOB as Jan 8, 1861, but the 1870 and 1880 Censuses had ages 8 and 18, which would indicate 1862. The 1900 Census had Jan 1863 so there appears to be some leeway in the birth year.

Cemetery records, per phone call, show Folgert Munneke died (more likely buried) on May 11, 1946. An article in the Pawnee (NE) Republican said F.J. (Folger Johannes) Munneke's ashes were to be sent to Fulton IL after a funeral service in Oceanside CA. His parents and brother Menno are also recorded as buried there. Presumably winter conditions caused the difference in death-to-burial dates. He married Hattie Rebecca Wagoner in 1880 in Panama, Lancaster, Nebraska. As of the 1910 Census, they had 9 children, all still living at the time.

Missing from Find A Grave are two daughters:
- Harriette McHose/Barrett: b. Nov 7, 1898 Neb; d. 3-22-1986 Santa Barbara co, CA (aka Hattie Helen)
- Kathryn D. Dilkes: b. Dec 10, 1901/1902 Neb; d. 2-15-1980 San Diego co, CA.
