The Sacred Heart Cemetery (Meyer) listing on IaGenWeb/Mitchell shows:GROSSMAN, George, Jr. -- Dec. 4, 1918 -- Aug. 8,** 1934

**NOTE: The various sources disagree about his age and death date.
According to the cemetery, he would be 15 years old, not 16 or 13.
But the cemetery seems to be in error about the date of the death/burial.
