February 18, 1934 was on a Sunday so that tracks with the obituary.Addison Cemetery did have burials prior to 1936.That is where Jacob and Catherine Fike Lenhart are buried in 1917 and 1907respectively. One of G.W.'s brothers was buried there in 1912. DinnahChristina Bowser Lenhart was buried there in 1883. I'm not certain if herhusband Jacob is there or not. I can find no evidence that these folks weremoved there at a later date.The Somerset site is down at the moment for the Rootsweb upgrade, but mostof their cemetery records are from the 1932 WPA records so G.W. Lenhartmight not be on their site. However, some of the cemeteries have had morerecent records added.Georgia, if you want to give her my email address, feel free. Since I'malso descended from JPL Jr., I have quite a bit of information on thisfamily.
