I live in Logan and have been trying to picture where this house is located. Do you know the address? If there are any pictures of headstones that you would like I would be happy to take them for you, just let me know. The cemetery was very pretty over the weekend with all the flowers and the avenues of flags, very impressive.

We were at the funeral last fall and were in Logan at the large white wooden church. We didn't get directions for the cemetery so we just stopped at the church. The funeral was in the town north of there. Later I found out that my superintendent, Anderson and a science teacher. Wunschel. both graduated there. That is amazing the Lincoln highway went through there but it explains the concrete bridge structure at the bottom of the hill before going up into Logan.L.

It's interesting about her being divorced in the early 1900s. That's unusual for that era.

Funny, one has a note with an arrow saying,"grandma's first boyfriend".
