Note: this memorial updated April 6, 2018 with DOB/DOD locations per edit request. The DOB location was given as Anderson County, Kansas. Am accepting that location in good faith, but note that the Fairfield Ledger obituary listed the location as "Coffeyville" and the 1903 marriage record in Jefferson county, Iowa listed his birthplace as "Mineral Point", both in Kansas. Neither show up in F/A/G locations, however, so they may be now-defunct towns or locations not accounted for in the F/A/G location indexes.
Any clarification would be appreciated.
