His mother was Eleanor Kane. Sources: Allamakee County Death Records, Obit-Allamakee Journal, Obit-Waukon Republican-Standard, Obit.

Barnard, Caroline (1860 Feb 09-1928 Aug 04) This is Caroline M. (Anderson) Busness, who is buried in the East Paint Creek Synod cemetery. The dates are correct. (R.O.) Barnard, Elizabeth N. (1865 Jan 11-1895 Feb 22) Schellsmidt, Elizabeth (no dates) Both of these entries are for Elizabeth Newport (Barnard) Schellsmidt, 1st wife of Max Schellsmidt (d. 1924). An obit in the Waukon Standard for a Elizabeth Schellsmidt has dates 01/11/1865 -02/22/1895. The 1895 Iowa State Census enumerates Max & Elizabeth Schellsmidt; and the 1900 U.S. Census shows Max Schellsmidt & Harriet Schellsmidt. Harriet is also entered in Woodmansee. (R.O.) Barton, Ada (d. 1934) Jones, Ada Josephine (1859 Mar 24-1934 Jun 20) Correct name is Ada Josephine (Goodrich) Barton-Jones, w/o John Barton-Jones. They are buried side-by-side, sharing a gravestone. She is also listed in Woodmansee as Ada Jones - more detailed notes are below under Jones. Bearcem, Mary Jane (1852-6/5/1928) - Oakland Main The alphabetical and Oakland Main listings of Woodmansee show a Bearcem Mary Jane (1852-1928), with no comma after the surname.  The 'm' key is next to the comma key on the keyboard, so this is either a typo in Woodmansee or a transcription typo.  Mary Jane is buried in plot 409 with other people named Bearce. (contributor: Tom McGourin) Beeman, Dora Ida (Bur 1935 Aug 02) There is a gravestone for Dora Ida, engraved Dau. of C.A. & D.I. Beeman Died Jan. 24, 1883, aged 2mos 24ds. The notation on Woodmansee may indicate when the stone was erected, and it could be a cenotaph. Parents Cullen A. & Dora Irene Beeman are buried nearby. (R.O.) Bieber, Emma Louise (1871 Sep 29-1951 Oct 09) Huecker, Emma L. (1871-1951) These entries are for the same woman, and the correct entry is Emma Louise Bieber.

(1862-1935) - Oakland Main Correct surname is Clark. She is also correctly listed in Woodmansee as Hattie May (Ferris) Clark, 1862 May 27-1935 Apr 18. The Clark's and Britain's are buried very close to each other which may have caused the recording error. (R.O.) Broadman, George (1884-1914 Feb 16) - Oakland Main Correct name is George Boardman, and correct burial place is in the Paint Rock cemetery (R.O.) Brown, George (1858- 1930 Jun 20) - Oakland Main Correct DOD was June 20, 1933, per obit in the Allamakee Journal & Lansing Mirror, 6/28/1933 (D.D.) If he has a gravestone in Oakland cemetery, it may be a cenotaph. Obituary: "...remains were shipped to the State Uiversity at Iowa City to be used for dissecting purposes." (S.F.) Brownell, ?

Olivet cemetery, although Allamakee co. Death Records give burial in Oakland. The gravestone has dates: 12/16/1904-12/20/1904. (R.O.) Bullman, Alice M. -Jan 20 1913 - Feb 27, 1991 - 1920 Addition Bullman, Donald F. -July 9, 1911 - Oct 8 1995 - 1920 Addition Bulman, Martha - Jan 9 1892 - Dec 16 1990 - 1920 Addition Woodmansee has surname spelled Bullman for Alice & Donald, the correct spelling is Bulman. Their deaths occurred after the Woodmansee book was published, so he did not have death dates in the book. They are buried in Plot 80 of the 1920 Addition. (contributor: Norma Bulman Gaertner, daughter of Donald & Alice Bulman and great niece of Frances & Martha Bulman) Bulman, George H. (1835-1921 Oct 28) - 1920 Addition Per his obituary, the correct dates for George Harvey Bulman are 01/29/1855 - 10/28/1921; aged 66y 8m 29d - (contributor: LA) Burnham, John W. (1890-1968) Burnham, Wilma V. (1891-1965) Correct surname is Gilson. John Gilson (9/27/1890-9/3/1965) & Wilma Viola (McCracken) Gilson (3/15/1891-1/19/1965) also have a correct entry in the book. (contributor: D.Diedrich). Cayton - Adorma, Alden, Arthur & Rebecca - 1920 Addition Correct surname for the 4 is Caton. (R.O.) Clark, Bedina Eigner (1836 Jul 01-1929 Jul 02) - Oakland Main CLARK is an incorrect surname for her. Full name is Bedinah (Arndt) Hanson Nosler Eigner. Her gravestone is engraved: Bedina Eigner 1861-1929. She may be buried in the vicinity of Clark stones, resulting in the error. Her sister Thea (Arndt) Clark was the informant on her death certificate. Bedina was divorced from her 1st husband Henry Hanson, who died in 1919. She remarried after the divorce to Peru Nosler, who died in 1909 & again to Mr. Eigner. Iowa Death Certificate (familysearch.org) Bedinah Eigner DOB: 09/20/1861 DOD: 12/4/1929 Father: John Arndt Mother: Trene Moxness Informant: Mrs. Thea Clark -- 1895 IA State Census, Makee twp.: Henry Hanson (38) & his wife Biana (34), children: Maud (12) & Leonard (11) 1903 Washington Marriage Records, Spokane, WA: #5283 July 6, 1903: Peru Nosler (46) b.

Mostad, mother: Trina Moxness. 1925 IA State Census for Bedina's daughter Maude Bieber gives Maude's father as Henry J. Hanson and mother as Bedina Arndt. ~Notes compiled by S.F. Bedina's obituary Clarkson, Charley (1873-1875) - Oakland Main Correct surname is Carlson (R.O.) Clark, Alice May (1886-1957) Alice Mae (Winters) Clark, w/o Floyd Immer Clark, died Jan 11, 1957 per Allamakee County Death Records. (R.O.) Conflicting with the county records is date of death given by Woodmansee: January 27, 1957. DOD of death given in her Postville Herald obit was also January 27. (Jan 11, 1957 was on a Friday and Jan 27, 1957 was on a Sunday) (contributor: S. Ferrall) Colgrove, Elizabeth J. (1888 May 08-1923 Mar 02) - Oakland Main Per her obituary, Elizabeth 'Lizzie' (Spaulding) Colegrove's DOB is 5/8/1838. Also, the surname spelling on gravestone is COLEGROVE (S.F.) Colvin, Leo (1903-1949) - 1920 Addition He died 03/19/1947 in Elkader, Clayton co. (R.O.) Cooper, Jane E. (1885 Jan 07-1915 Sep 04) - Oakland Main She was born January 7, 1835 and died July 4, 1915 in Forest City, Winnebago co. Iowa. (contributor: Beverly Eddy) Cousins, ? (died 1936 May 25) Oakland Main - see Stevens below Deremo, Orin Orsemas (1825 Apr 14-1903 Sep 20) - Oakland Main Service in Co. F, 9th IA Cavalry during the Civil War is not correct. The record belongs to his son, Orrin Celatus Deremo. From the Roster & Record (Logan): "Orin Deremo, age 18, nativity Elon, nativity New York, enlisted 10/5/1863. Promoted 7th Corp. 9/1/1864. Mustered out 2/3/1866 at Little Rock."

Ferrall) Dowling, Esther Lane (06/16/1851-05/10/1913) Lot ?430 Oakland Main Lane, Esther S. (1851-1973) - Lot 329 Oakland Main These entries are the same woman, Esther S. Dowling Lane, w/o Russell Lane. Correct DOD is 06/16/1913. Her gravestone has birth year 1851. Allamakee co. Death Records give birth year 1852. (R.O.) Dunning, James M. (1850 Aug 18-1912 Jul 18) Oakland Main Dunning, William (1823 Sep 01-1900 Mar 04) Oakland Main Correct surname is Denning. James Martin Denning and William Denning. (R.O.) Ehrie, H. Luander (1884 May 9-1957 Sep 15) Lot 48 - St. John's Addition Johnson, Henry Luander (1884 May 9-1957 Sep 15) Lot 48 - St. John's Addition These entries are the same man. Allamakee Death Records show his fathers name as John L. Johnson. Henry's WWI draft registration gives surname Johnson. Gravestone inscription is "Son" H. Luander 1884-1957, and is in the Ehrie lot with "Mother" Clara A. & "Father" John L. Ehrie. Possibly his surname may have originally been Ehrie and he took the name Johnson as an adult. (R.O.) Genz, Henry (1891-09/23/1926) - Oakland Main He is buried in St. Paul Lutheran cemetery, Monona, Clayton co. IA. Confirmed by a gravestone there & his obituary. (R.O.) Gilson, Eva (1900-1986) Oakland Main Doerrhing, Reva Steiber (died Apr 1986) 1920 Addition These entries are for the same woman. Reva Gilson was married 3 times: 1st to Gephard Meskimen; 2nd to Nevin Steiber & 3rd to Arno W. Doerring. Her gravestone is inscribed "Reva daughter of J.P. Elizabeth Gilson". Burial is in the 1920 Addition. Her obit spells surname as Doerring. (R.O.) Glenn, Howard W. (died 1924 Nov 03) Oakland Main Allamakee Co. Death Records and obits in the Waukon Democrat and Allamakee Journal all indicate that his remains were sent to Stuttgart, Arkansas for burial (R.O.) Goeke, Anna Gertrude (1895 Jul 27-1950 Apr 03) - German Addition Gravestone is inscribed with death year 1940, not 1950 (R.O.) Goodman?, Mary Belle (1859-1915) Surname is not Goodman, she is Mary Belle Orr, who Woodmansee also has listed correctly. (R.O.) Goodykoontz, Bessie (1845 Feb 28-1854 Dec 15) Oakland Main There is no DOB on her gravestone. DOD is inscribed Dec. 15, 1884, age 6ys 9ms 10ds. (R.O.) Gordon, Arzetta (1868 Feb 15-1868 Oct 01) Oakland Main Correct burial place is in the Postville cemetery, Area C. Given name on gravestone is Arzette. (R.O.) Granneman, Sharon R. (1948 Mar 22 1978 Jul 16) - Oakland Alleys Hagemeier, Sharon R. (1948 1978) - Oakland Main These entries are the same woman, Sharon Rose (McDermott) Granneman, who died at Des Moines, Iowa. (Sources: SSDI, in the Waukon Republican-Standard & Allamakee Journal) Woodmansee correctly lists her in Oakland Alleys with her husband Terry Granneman. Sharon R. Hagemeier likely does not exist, and this entry in Woodmansee is either a transcription error or her grave is located very close to Hagemeier graves resulting in an error. (R.O.) Grangaard, W. Conrad (1898 Jun 03-1890 Jun 22) - St. John's Addition Death year should be 1980 not 1890. SSDI gives the following information for William Grangaard: Birth: 3 Jun 1898;  State issued: Iowa;  Death: Jun 1980. (contributor: Paul Moritz, now deceased) Greenslate, Herman (1805 Aug 23-1867 Jul 24) Oakland Main First name of Heman, rather than Herman, on his military & another gravestone in Oakland cemetery & on a cenotaph in Elmwood cemetery, Cass co., NE - where his wife, Sally nee Bemiss, is buried. (R.O.) Groezinger - 3 burials in Lot 33 - German Addition Allamakee Death Records show 1) Groezinger, unnamed infant b. 12/20/1931 d. 12/21/1931. 2) Groezinger, Carl Theo b. 12/20/1931 d. 12/21/1931. 3) Groezinger infant b. 04/04/1935 d. 04/05/1935. The Waukon Republican Standard reports two Groezinger's born and died on 1931 Dec 20. Waukon Democrat has a infant Groezinger born & died 04/05/1935. (R.O.) Hager, Frank J. H. (1921-1922 Mar 06) Oakland Main Correct burial place is Smith cemetery. This is indicated on his death certificate. 10/18/1921 - 3/6/1922. Parents John & Ida May (Dundee) Hager. Informant on Death Cert. was Ida May Lawson, relationship unknown - (R.O.) Hall, Ernest A. (1849 Jan 21-1923 May 31) - Oakland Main Correct surname is Held, and burial place is in Bethlehem cemetery, not Oakland. (R.O.) Hall, Frances (1843-1892) Oakland Main This is Frances (Hall) Maxwell, w/o William Maxwell. They share a gravestone. (R.O.) Hall, Francis A. (1917 Oct 18-1923 Mar 01) - Oakland Main Buried Pleasant Grove cemetery, McGregor, not Oakland. (R.O.) Hanson, Rae Marie (1954-1985) Oakland Main Nunn, Rae Marie Hanson (1954 Jan 22-1985 Aug 07) Oakland Main These entries are the same woman. Her maiden name was Hanson, obit implies 2 marriages, 1st to unkn. Bradley, 2nd to unkn. Nunn. (R.O.) Harris, Henry M. (1818-1898) - Oakland Main The Henry Harris that was in Company K, 27th Iowa is buried in Reinbeck Cemetery, Reinbeck, Grundy County, Iowa. He did live in Allamakee County for a number of years and was on the 1860, 1870, and 1880 census records in Allamakee co. However, by 1885 he was in Grundy co. IA. The 1885 'List of Ex Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Living In Iowa' says his post office address was Reinbeck. He was on the 1885 Iowa State Census in Grundy co, and the Iowa Civil War Soldier Burial Records says he was buried in Reinbeck cemetery, Reinbeck, Grundy co. IA. The photo that I have of his tombstone is in that cemetery. There is an 1883 biography for Henry M. Harris (born 1818 in England) and I suspect that the Henry M. Harris buried in Oakland Cemetery is this man, not the one that served in the 27th Iowa. (contributor: Elaine Johnson) Harris, Mabel Liza (1890 Dec 13-1930 Oct 25) Oakland Main Correct name is Mabel Lila Harris & she is not buried in Oakland cemetery. She's buried next to her mother in the Postville cemetery per her obituary. She was known by family & friends as Lila. Her gravestone is engraved with her full name. (R.O.) Hastings, Harvey Alonzo (1835 Jul 27-1911 Nov 24) - Oakland Main Month of death is April and not November. Obits giving date of death 04/24/1911 appeared in the Waukon Standard, the Waukon Republican & the Allamakee Journal. 'Woodmansee' likely used the Allamakee Co. Death Records as his source for the erroneous date. (R.O.) Hastings, Oliver Holverson (1872 Aug 03-1904 Sep 11) - Oakland Main This is Olive Holverson Hastings. She married Irving H. Hastings April 5, 1897 in Waukon. In 1900 they lived in Jefferson Township. Olive was born Olava Hansdatter Pedersmoen on August 30,1872 in Nordre Land, Norway, daughter of Hans Christian Halvorsen Pedersmoen and Karen Olsdatter Sorum. Olava emigrated with her parents and siblings in 1886. (contributor: Larissa Reutgen) Haugsted, ? (Mrs. John) Haugsted, Augusta J. (1863-1933) Haugsted, John (?-1950) Haugsted, Kendric V. (1858-1934) Augusta J. Haugsted & Kendric V. Haugsted listed by Woodmansee to be buried in Lot 290 with surname Haugsted is an error - Augusta Johanna Henrietta (Miller) Ferris was born 1863 Jun 24 and died 1933 Mar 22 according to the Allamakee co. Death Records. Kendric V. Ferris was her husband. Woodmansee also has them listed correctly under surname Ferris on pg 295. There is a record of a John Haugsted who died in March 1950 in Howard County, Iowa. However there is only a death notice in the Waukon Republican-Standard and nothing to indicate he was buried in Oakland. His wife was Mabel Johnston who died in 1962 in Howard County. A obit in the Waukon Democrat indicates that she was brought back to Allamakee County, so it is likely that John is also buried there. Woodmansee does not list Mabel Haugsted, but she may be the burial with no given name or dates but annotated as Mrs. John. (R.O.) Heiser, Vivian (1914-1959) An obit in the Waukon Democrat gives her full name as Vivian (Heiser) Bank and that she died March 23, 1959; husband Rudolph Bank; died in Iowa City, Iowa. Her funeral was handled by Thornburg Funeral Home and burial in Oakland cemetery, Waukon. (R.O.) Heminway, Samuel William - Oakland Main Woodmansee also correctly lists him in Oak Hill cemetery with surname spelled Hemenway. He is not buried in Oakland cemetery, Waukon. (R.O.) Hendricks, Amelia Gibson (1846 Jul 03-1937 Jul 03) Hendricks, Bert (1876-1958 May 11) Hendricks, Margaret (1877 Dec 19-1960 Jun 20) Hendricks, Myron B. (1837 Mar 17-1914 Aug 15) All in Oakland Main Gravestone, the 1920 & 1930 US census spells the surname 'Hendrick', as does Bert & Margaret's marriage certificate. Myron & Amelia are Bert's parents. (contributor: Paul Moritz, now deceased) Howard, Phoebe (1791 Apr 13-1881 Apr 15) Oakland Main Howard is her maiden name. She is also correctly listed in Woodmanee as Phoebe Hersey. She was the wife of Noah Hersey, who died in 1833 and is buried in Foxcroft Center cemetery, Maine. (R.O.) Huecker, Philip H. (1879-1932) -German Addition Correct name is Phillip H. Bieber, as per Allamakee co. Death Records & a Waukon Democrat obituary. He is also correctly listed in Woodmansee. (R.O.) Huey, Daryl G. -1920 Addition Hummel, Daryl - 1920 Addition These entries are for the same man, correct name is Daryl Graham Hummel (1906 Aug 28 - 1976 Sep 28) (R.O.) Israel, Isabella (1838 Jan 06-1903 May 06) Oakland Main This is Isabella (Israel) Pratt w/o Marcellus H. Pratt. Isabella also has a marker in Riverside Cemetery, Spokane, WA. (R.O.) Jackson ? - Oakland Main An infant born & deceased 19 Aug 1932 with only the surname Jackson - might be George S. Jackson's grandson, Robert Edward Jackson who died as an infant sometime between 1928 and 1935.  I have written to the Martin Funeral home and the Waukon library for more information. (contributor: Nancy J. Geitgey) Jackson, Greta S. - Oakland Main This is Grace S. Jackson - I have a copy of the death record from the Allamakee County courthouse. (contributor: Nancy J. Geitgey) Johnson, Caroline "Carrie" (1843-1905 Jun 20) - St. John's Addition Johnson, Chris Rud (1853 1918 Jul 14) - St. John's Addition This couple share a gravestone in St. John's addition of Oakland. The surname Rude Johnson is engraved, making it confusing. Christian Rud was born 5/22/1853, s/o John Rud. He & Karen Rud married in 1872. Chris died in July 1838 (not 1918) and Carrie in 1905. More than likely Chris took the name Johnson when he immigrated to U.S. All of their children use the surname Johnson. (R.O.) Johnson, Claude (d. 1965 Aug 01) - 1920 Addition Johnson, Evelyn Peterson (?-1987 Mar --) 1920 Addition Evelyn's surname at the time of her death was Warden (wife of Charles), but she is buried with her 1st husband Albert Claudius 'Claud' Johnson in the 1920 Addition. Their gravestone has both family names Peterson and Johnson, which likely contributed to the errors. It is unknown when Charles Warden died & is buried. (R.O.) Johnson, Sarah (1858 Oct 05-1931 Sep 15) Oakland Main Faegre, Sarah (1858-1931) Oakland Main These entries are the same woman. Sarah Barthell was married 3 times: 1st to Albert Faegre (she's buried w/him); 2nd to Charles Hunt & 3rd to Hans G. Johnson. She died in Minneapolis as Sarah Johnson. (R.O) Jones, Ada Josephine (1859 Mar 24-1934 Jun 20) - Oakland Main Barton, Ada (d. 1934) - Oakland Main Jones, John Barton (1854 Oct 21-1932 Nov 04) - Oakland Main Jones, Lyman (1889-1894 Nov 06) - Oakland Main Correct names are John Barton-Jones, Ada Josephine (Goodrich) Barton-Jones and Lyman Barton-Jones.The parents are buried side-by-side, sharing a gravestone. Lyman, their young son, has a stone nearby, but no surname is engraved on it. Both John & Ada's death certificates on familysearch.org and both show last name as "Barton Jones".  John had a hyphenated surname, common in British names, although he appears in various records as "Barton Jones", "Barton" or "Jones".  The 1925 Iowa State census gives John's father as unkn. Jones and mother as unkn. Barton. Another son, Alfred is also buried in the lot, the name on his gravestone is Alfred Barton (without the Jones). (researched by S.F. & R.O.) Kelly, Donald  - 1920 Addition Donald Kelly bought Lot 171 in the 1920 Addition, when his son, Steven Dale Kelly was born on October 29, 1951.`Steven died on November 1, 1951 and is buried in the lot.

Ruth has an Allamakee Death Record, and obits in the Allamakee journal, Waukon Standard and the Waukon Republican. (R.O.) Kvamme, Henry (1867 Feb 22-1949 Oct 24) - St. John's Addition Correct surname is Quamme or Qvamme the former spelling used in an obit inthe Dubuque Telegraph-Herald, or the latter spelling which is on his gravestone. He was never married & s/o Ole & Gundor (Lofthus), buried in Winneshiek co. IA. (R.O.) Larson, Lettie E. (1878 May 04-1969 Dec 09) - Oakland Main Lettie's correct surname is Todd. She is also correctly entered in the Woodmansee book. The error may have occurred because Lettie's sister Louisa married a Larson. Lettie was married but her obit does not mention him.

Stevens, Samuel L. - Oakland Main Mr. Woodmansee transcribed the tombstone of Samuel L. Stevens as: born 31 Oct 1895 and died 10 Nov 1896. According to this record it would appear that Samuel L. Stevens was 1 year old when he died. This is definitely NOT the case. In 1999, I traveled to the cemetery & found the stone sunken into the ground, so the inscription was unreadable. Jan Warren assisted me in pulling up the tombstone & leveling it. Amazingly, the lettering that was buried under the ground was very well preserved. There is no birth date recorded on the stone. Additionally, W.P.A. Grave Records of Allamakee co. transcribed the dates as: 1829-Nov 10, 1886. (contributor: Karen Stevens) Stillman, John J.

(3/14/1840-2/15/1862) - Oakland Main A listing for John J. Stillman (3/14/1840-2/15/1862) is missing from the Woodmansee book and has no dates in the WPA list.  John J. Stillman's tombstone was stolen many years ago, probably before the WPA transcriptions.  It was found near McGregor in Clayton County, Iowa several years ago.  It was returned to Oakland Main, Lot 84, in a ceremony on October 24th, 2004.  The tombstone inscription reads "John J. son of John & Mary E Stillman:  Fell at Fort Donaldson while nobly defending his Countrys Flag.  Feb 15, 1862.  Age 22 years.  A member of Co. B. 12 Regt Iowa Volunteers."  There is no record of when and how John J. Stillman's body was transported to Waukon from Tennessee, if in fact it was transported there.  There are 670 Union soldiers buried in the Fort Donelson National Cemetery, 512 of them unidentified. (contributor: Tom McGourin Stowers, Cyrus (no dates) Oakland Main Stowers, Emaline (1846-1872 Dec 28) Oakland Main Correct surname is Stokers. Emaline was w/o John Stokers.
