To note:
Obituaries for both James and Abbie Walker Iowa Burials
site Pleasant Ridge Cemetery and also site Monona.
There is more than one Pleasant Ridge Cemetery in Iowa.
There is no Cemetery named Pleasant Ridge Cemetery in Monona Iowa.
There is a Cemetery sited as the Monona Cemetery located on Pleasant Ridge
Rd in Monona , Clayton County, Iowa. Place of burial in Monona Clayton County Iowa or Howard County Iowa for this family seems more likely especially when both obituaries referred to Monona Burials. Writer cannot reach any contact persons to clarify which Pleasant Ridge Cemetery in Iowa is correct. Per their Obituaries it appears other Members of their Family also laid to rest at the same Cemetery as James and Abbie Walker, including Abbie's Mother. Verification appreciated. To edit if needed.
