Note: Anna CHANDLER's maiden name was EMERSON. The date of her death is somewhat questionable with the finding of her obituary. Her headstone engraved death date is June 9, 1911. This obituary refers to her death "Saturday", which would be June 10th since the obituary was published on June 12, 1911. EMERSON and CHANDLER family researchers should be aware of the potential date discrepancy as it pertains to their research and/or family trees.

Buried at Evergreen Cemetery, Fairfield, Jefferson county, Iowa. Old.P.252. Shares monument inscriptions and plot with husband Lewis CHANDLER and two children, George and Mary.
