Response from Montrose Cemetery when I asked for a burial location of Ralph Argonne Jansen: "Ralph Argonne Jansen is indeed interred here. However, he is interred in a section that is not visitable. The land was donated by the cemetery to the city during the tuberculosis outbreaks in the 1920's. At that time when folks bought cemetery property, they paid an annual fee for maintenance and care. The land was donated with the understanding that nobody would ever be able to pay for the care and it would be allowed to return to it's natural state. Today that is a completely wooded area and completely fenced in. All of the burials were as singles as people passed away so he is there by himself. The only information I'm able to provide is that he is indeed interred here."
