My Great-grandfather Andrew (or Andres) Eberlein and his wife Mary Barbara Bower or Bauer are buried in Wellsburg, Iowa. He died there May 1, 1887, she died in 1924 in Luverne, Mn but was buried in Wellsburg. The 1880 census puts them in Pleasant Valley Township (cannot find this town on the map) My question is: Would this be a church graveyard or county one. (I am looking for some kind of church records) also, there is no newspaper for Wellsburg or Pleasant Valley township in the 1880's that I could find. Do you have any ideas? Thanks for your help.

I'm specifically looking for a death record, obit and perhaps a grave marker for Mary Ann. I've checked the County Death Register and it is missing. Perhaps she died in a nearby county.
