Confirmation of burial place is needed due to the conflicting records. Please notify the contributor if you can confirm her burial place.

1940 census records show her living in Burr Oak, Mitchell co. in the household of her brother-in-law and sister, John J. & Rose Driscoll; the 1910 census shows her in Vernon Springs, Howard co. with the same family.

The obit of John J. Driscoll indicates that he married Rose Drumm in Monona, Iowa, thus the Monona connection.

There is at least one other Drumm burial in the Monona City cemetery, so the possibility exists that she is buried there as the Dubuque Death Records show.
