Talmer Melvin Jelle was my fathers older brother. He was listed as Tilner M. Jelle in the Rock county courthouse. His exact burial is unknown at this time, but all other family burials are in this cemetery for this time frame. I have enclosed a copy of his mother Lena Jelle (who is pregnant with him) and father (Elias H. Jelle) and older brother Henry E Jelle who is buried in Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery in Garretson South Dakota. My father Talmer Melvin Jelle was the next son born so he was given the same name as the child who died prior to his birth in feb 1895. This was/is a common Norweigan naming practice. His name was not known of until I searched his record of birth and death in Luverne Minnesota.
