BIRTH:Headstone said died at age 6y 5m 14d; DEATH:Headstone; BURIAL:Buchanan County Cemetaries 1980 lot 104 p.40; Other Sources: 1880 Federal Census Franklin Twp.,Bremer,IA GSF# 1,254,328; Family living in Bremer County. Children born in Bremer County in the 1885 and 1895 state census. Harold Chase has this child as number 2. He is on the 1880 federal census and sayes he is 6 yrs old. The census was taken on 8 June and he must have died right after. There is no Mary on the census. Charles 6, Edward 5 and Fredie 3. I thought the cemetery book has the wrong information on Charles and Mary and reversed ages at death for Charley and Mary. There still seems to be a problem as this would have made Mary born in 1879 before the 1880 census and she is not listed.
