In Response To: Re: Obits (Denise Higley)

Hi Denise -- I live in Colorado, but as luck would have it, I am traveling to Van Buren County at the end of July. I'm hoping to take several digital photos of my own family members. I will definitely make a point to get you some images of the SWANK gravestones from the Maple Grove Cemetery. I took down your address and will communicate with you in August. In the meantime, I will provide you some date information below. This information is from the "Iowa Van Buren County - Maple Grove Cemetery Inscriptions" booklet dated 2002 (from the VB County Genealogical Society).

SWANK, Lee (8 Dec 1861 - 15 Feb 1948)
SWANK, Mary J. (10 Dec 1866 - 9 July 1894 w/o Lee, maiden name CREATH)

The above couple are buried directly next to what I presume to be Mary's parents:
CREATH, John (1835 - 1914, father)
CREATH, Josephine (1844 - 1919, mother, maiden name PRICE)
