Note: Buried in Lot 3rd.155. Although she was born and died on January 20, 1933, the lone date on Florence's gravestone is April 19, 1932. (Her birthdate is verified in the "Iowa, County Births, 1880-1935" index on Family Search.) In a listing of Evergreen Cemetery burials (1870-1990) compiled by local researcher Verda Baird, there is also an unnamed Infant on the same lot, who was born and died on April 19, 1932; however, burial records for the cemetery do not indicate such a burial in 1932, and no announcement of an EKLUND infant's birth and/or death in 1932 can be found in the local newspapers to coincide with this date.
