Johnson, John C. (Oct 13, 1836-Nov 29, 1910)
These entries are likely the same man. ACDR list the death of John Johnson, h/o Elise. Johnson is engraved on their shared tombstone. Aas was probably his Norwegian family or farm name. (R.O.)

These entries are the same man. The inscription on his gravestone reads "Olaus Johnson Aas, 12/21/1838 - 02/10/1902". (R.O.)

Surname on gravestone is Boen, surname in U.S. was Olson. Boen is a farm name in Norway. (R.O.)

The three entries are actually for Ingvald R. and Isabell S. Christianson, husband and wife. They share a gravestone. His name on the stone is spelled Invald rather than Invold. The 1st entry appears to be a combination of both with her dates and his name. (R.O.)

Christianson, Martha (1823-1912)
Born 1823 Oct 14, died 1912 Mar 28 she is listed in ACDR but location of burial is unclear. Woodmansee lists place of burial as Old East Paint Creek. Obit in Allamakee Journal gives place of burial as Oakland. Her husband is in Old East but her son and his wife are in Oakland. Woodmansee lists additional source as Martin Funeral Home. (R.O.)

James has a gravestone in Belmond cemetery, Belmond, Wright co. IA. Newspaper death notice and Allamakee Co. Death Records give funeral & burial at OEPC.
