GEDDES, Andrew J., born Aug. 27, 1844 in St. Thomas, Canada, lived in Vinton, Benton Co., Iowa, later in Washington, DC, where he died in Nov. 1921. He's buried at Arlington, as is his wife, Florence. It's believed they had four children, three of whom may have died young. Andrew served in the 8th IA Inf. during the Civil War, and continued in the Regular Army after the war's end. Would appreciate any information on Andrew or other members of the family, such as his surviving children or his siblings. Known siblings include William, James Loraine, Charles, John C., and Hannah.

I am researching Noah (1802-1869) and Anna (1802-1881) LEONARD who died in Benton Co., IA. They are said to have been buried in Linwood Cemetery northeast of Watkins, IA. Does that cemetery still exist? I'm thinking of passing through the area and would like to see if I can find Noah and Anna graves. Thank you for your help. Ann Maxson Houston, TX
