I apologize for the delay, but the material was finally sent out last week (book rate) -I believe Tuesday.So you should be seeing it any time now.Let me know if you do not receive it and I will try again.It's a little too much to post to the forum.As for the cemetery of Wm Alexander and Henry Gaast.They are actually buried next together at the Almont (Smith) Cemetery north of Clinton, IA just off Highway 67.It is a small cemetery on a hill that overlooks the Mississippi River - a beautiful river.I've been there there twice - the first time without any camera film and the second it was very cloudy and dreary.The information on the tombstones reads:
William Alexander died May 4, 1850;Henry Gaast died May 24, 1864 age 42 years.In the material I sent you will notice that the 1860 census listed Henry's age at 30.When he died 4 years later he was 42.Isn't this fun?
