Died on Jan. 11, 1887, Leroy, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gossman. The tender bud thus early nipped had reached the age of 6 months. The remains were buried on Friday. The stricken parents have our sympathies.

Note: Parents Fred & Caroline, may have had another son named Leroy, who died in 1887 - her obituary states 3 of her children died in infancy, and there are 3 stones in the Garnavillo cemetery: Leroy 1884-1884, George 1891-1891 & Harold 1901-1901 all clearly engraved son of Fred & Caroline. No extant 4th stone for the Leroy named in the above obituary with a DOD in 1887. Researchers may want to investigate further. It's also possible that the dates for Leroy 1884-1884 have been incorrectly read on the stone. Surname spelling on the stones = GOSSMANN
