He's there, where he should be

I may have narrowed it down. I have been unable through conventional means to find anything that clearly tells where he is buried. I knew he SHOULD be buried at the Welsh cemetery where his parents and brother and more were already buried.

A Facebook user who had an account on Newspapers dot com found this clipping for me. We both belong to the county genealogical Facebook page, and I shared this "wall." And he posted this image for me. The kindness of strangers.

Look at the last item. Maggie learns of her brother's death and goes with a friend of the family to go get him.

The most important line is "The funeral was held Friday morning at Postville church."

It's not a rock solid statement, not clear as it could be, but I'm saying he was buried at the Postville cemetery, too. It's only a few yards away.
