Transcriber's Notes:* I believe that Lee Harry Sawyers (male, died June 21, 1904 of epilepsy at the I.F.M.C.) and Hanny Lee Sawyers
(female, died June 21, 1904 of epilepsy at the I.F.M.C.) are actually both intended to represent
Harry Lee Sawyers, born July 27, 1895 and died June 21, 1904. Young Harry is buried with his parents in Union Township Cemetery in Defiance, Shelby Co., IA.
