Thanks to the photographer, Michael Linnihan for alerting us to his headstone!

His wife, Margrette D. born 7 Jan 1928 shares this dual headstone. They had three children together.

Would love family photographs, please!

"Wendy,

Bonnie Scaffer and I are trying to put together all the people in West Freeborn Lutheran Cemetery.

We would like any information on the older ones that we can find to link them together in the cemetery.

Could you look at the cemetery names and maybe you can add another obit or a picture?

If you have any pictures we could put on the cemetery would give the people a face to look at ,with the names.

If we don't find things now, these people are going to go away, which would be so sad.

Thanks for listening to me.

Julrene"

Please, family, help them to compile this booklet of this cemetery.
