Notes for JEMIMA DALTON:

Buried in LeRoy, Minnesota, cemetery-far west gate, four rows east of road, under a tree. Headstone is" limestone" type and not very readable as is the one for Moses. There is a third nearby but no note was taken of it since, at the time, I did not know of the possibility it could be her daughter.

From the LeRoy Independent newspaper of June 27, 1902 Vol. 28, No. 3.
