Note: Although this obit (as well as the obit of his wife Marie) gives burial in St. Mary's cemetery, Charles, both of his wives and an infant daughter (with 1st wife Leah) are shown to have gravestones in the Strawberry Point cemetery. Because St. Mary's cemetery adjoins the Strawberry Point cemetery, it is possible that all of the graves are actually in the Catholic cemetery ..... interested researchers should confirm to their satisfaction.
