Note: this memorial updated May 20,2017 with middle name "Junior" per edit request.
Also submitted were edit request for DOB and DOD locations.
The DOB location edit request has been accepted (for Jefferson county, Iowa), pending any other documentation.
However, the DOD location edit submitted was for Van Buren county, Iowa. The two obituaries for Cornelius lists his death location as either "at" or "near" Libertyville, which is in Jefferson county, Iowa. There was no Jefferson county death record filed, however, to provide clarification.
Although it is possible that the family homestead was close to the Jefferson / Van Buren county border, since the obituaries were pretty specific about using Libertyville, this contributor is using that location for the death location.
