One of the Jasper County genealogical angels (thank you Barbara!) has really given me a leg up on my research by giving me a Block/Lot listing for a family interred at Newton Union Cemetery. What I think will be needed, though, will be some first-hand followup to verify what was recorded.
In Block 5, Lot 41, the following extended family was recorded:
1. Anna Amos Williaman (1870-1948)
2. Alfred C. Needham (1884-1952)
3. Blanche O. Needham (1888-1977)
4. Barney Amos Co. A. 19th IA (no dates?)
5. Dinah Foster Needham 1 June 1846-9 Jan 1907
6. Francis A. Needham 28 May 1845-16 Mar 1905 GAR 407. Ann Ingle Foster Lister 1825-4 Feb 1891
(Mrs. James)
8. James Lister d 18 Jul 1902 ae 72Most importantly, I want to verify the surname inscribed for "Anna Amos Williaman", as I cannot find any candidates in the Jasper/Newton area for the 1900-1948 period who would be her husband, let alone her on the census for 1910-1930 years. The "Williaman" surname is not a common one, though it may be that Anna had died outside of the area, and the body was returned to Newton for burial. Anna was the daughter of Barney Amos and Dinah Foster Newbold, later Dinah Needham with her second marriage following Barney's death.
Secondly I'd like to verify that Barney Amos' stone has no birth/death/age inscription.
I realize that this could be a bit time-intensive for someone to undertake, but if you're in the Newton area, and could help me out here, I'd be grateful.
