This information is from LDS Microfilm # 1502657, items 1
and 2. The Mills County Iowa Cemeteries book,
published in the early 1980's by the Hastings Federated Woman's
Club and no longer in print, was referenced often to help
determine correct spellings. Transcribed by Cay Merrymen. The symbol * after a veteran's name indicates that
additional information is available from the record of that
person,
usually at least the father's name. Often the name of the
mother, including maiden name; the wife, including maiden name;
and the children are given. Other information might include
whether
the veteran received a pension, his place of birth, place
of enlistment, place of discharge, the informant ,and often there
is an attached sheet with other items of information. Sometimes
there is very little information and it may differ somewhat from
the birth and death dates and military outfits that are given on
the tombstone.
Only information for veterans of WW I
and earlier were
extracted, although many WW II veterans were also recorded. In
some cases the typed form is so fuzzy as to be virtually
unreadable.
This transcription has taken many
hours, many days, and I still
feel it is less than reliable. Before you accept anything that is
in these files, check to be sure it is correct. .... Cay |
