Death

"Henry H, Jan 22, 1805 Apr 4, 1888. " .. Personal photo, taken 8/19/2017, Lower Deer Creek Cemetery, Washington County, IA.

The cemetery is 1/2 mile past Lower Deer Creek Mennonite Church, 540th St, Northwest of Kalona, IA.

Note: The gravestone ( in the photo 8/19/2017) appears to simply commemorate the husband and wife and one other person, and at the lower section explains that they are actually buried in the "last half of section 23, Washington Twp, Johnson County" mentioned in the family record above.
