Transcriber’s note: Annie’s maiden name of Harapot appears in husband George’s obituary, however her brothers surname per this obituary was Charipar. She had a half-sister, Emma who’s maiden name was Harapat.

Coordinator's note: Brother John's surname per his Iowa Death Certificate is "Harapat" as is inscribed on his tombstone in the St. John's Cemetery in Cedar Rapids. John's wife's maiden name, per their Iowa Marriage Certificate is "Charipar" which somehow got erroneously entered into the Gazette's obituary.
