Bechtel, Susan C. (1835 Jun 12-1864 Feb 16)
This is Susan C. (Bechtol) O'Neil, w/o Charles O'Neil. (R.O.)

Becking, Mae Cassidy (1899 Aug 08-1935 May 16)
Mae L. (Cassidy) Becking is buried in Gethsemane, not Lycurgus. Lycurgus Church records show funeral services there, but burial in Gethsemane. I believe she was wife #2 of William Becking. (R.O.)

Blanchard, James (1833 Apr 22 1904 May 22)
-I believe this is actually James Sweeny (1833 Apr 15 - 1904 May 22). He was Married to Anne (O'Donnell) Sweeny d. 1911. Source: Allamakee Journal obit. (R.O.)

Carwinske, Mary E. (1887 Feb 15-1959 May 01)
Sweeney, Mary McCroden (1887-1959 May 01)
These entries are for the same woman: Mary (McCroden) Sweeney Carwinske. She died at Charles City, Iowa & there was an obit in the Waukon Democrat for her. Mary McCroden married twice, first to Peter Sweeney, second to Paul Cerwinski (d. 1967, buried Calvery Cemetery, Alta Vista, Chickasaw County, IA). She is buried with Peter. (R.O.)

Connor, Albert C. (1906 Oct 30-1932 Jul 30)
Correct surname is Collins. The dates are correct. He also has another entry as Albert Collins in Woodmansee. Death Certificate gives cause of death as skull & femur fractures from being hit by a truck; s/o William K. & Mary (Plein) Collins. (R.O.)

Connor, Lucille Bridget (1908 Jun 07-1973 Feb 05)
Connor, Mary Plein (1868-1955 Oct 19)
Connor, William K. (1866 Jun 13-1933 Aug 26)
Correct surname for all is Collins. Mary Plein was w/o William K. Collins. (R.O.)

Condon, Mary Ann (1852-1912 May 22)
-Allamakee Death Records have an entry for Mary Ann Casy (d. 1912, buried Lycurgus), and there is an obit for Mary Ann Casey in the Allamakee Journal. Mary Ann Condon and Mary Ann Casey are the same person. According to census records, she was the niece of Bridget Casey and lived with Bridget from childhood.  In 1860 census she was enumerated with the surname Casey.  By 1885 she is going by the name of Condon, but marital status is single.  In 1900 she is still Mary Ann Condon, single.   It’s possible that she did marry as a young woman, but her birth name likely was always Condon. (R.O. & S.F.) 

Connors, ? ;(Mrs. John); 1877 Jan 06 - 1919 May 24
-I've found out that Anna M. Whalen, daughter of Thomas Whalen and Elizabeth Shortt Whalen, was the second wife of a John H. Connor.  The 1925 census indicates that his first wife was Esther Ward (her daughter is in John's household and Esther is named as her mother)  But I couldn't find her in Woodmansee's entries for St. Mary Cemetery, Lycurgus.  But there is a Connor whose name is unknown and it notes that she is "Mrs. John".  That could possibly be Esther Ward Connor. (M.W.)

Deeney, Ellen (1852 Oct 02-1929 May 21)
Correct dates for Ellen (Coyle) Deeney are 10/2/1852 - 5/21/1925. (R.O.)

Deeny, Mary (1885 Dec 01-1886 Nov 17)
Correct dates per her gravestone: Nov. 30, 1865 - Nov. 17, 1866. (R.O.)

Floyer, John (1830 1917 Mar 21)
-Surname is Floegel, not Floyer. John is mentioned in the Postville newspaper as far back as 1876 when he was in the meat business as Wagner & Floegel.  A search of the archived Postville paper returns a half dozen blurbs, all spelling the surname as Floegel. Census records spell his surname with various similar spellings. He died at the Allamakee County Home. (R.O. & S.F.)

Frank, ? (died 1876)
Frank, Katherine (1833 Dec 03-1905 Jun 17)
Henry Frank died 09/02/1876, aged 46y 5m 11d. He is buried in Lansing Ridge cemetery. Katherine/Catherine Frank is buried in Lansing Ridge cemetery, not Lycurgus (R.O.)

Garrett, Alice (1798-1868 Feb 15)
Garrett, Hanna (1835-1864 Dec 03)
Garrett, Hannah (1864 Nov 13-1864 Dec 13)

Gilson, Evirt C. (1904 Jul 07-1904 Dec 23)
Death Certificate (familysearch) indicates this is Evert Charles Gilson 7/7/1904-12/25/1904, who is buried in the Cleveland cemetery, likely without a gravestone (R.O.)

Haas, Catherine Schreiber (1871 Jul 02-1965 Jun 16)
Haas, Ferdinand (1871 Jul 02-1965 Jun 16)
Ferdinand & Catherine (Schrieber) Haas. Ferdinand's gravestone has dates: 1874-1924. Death Certificate: 7/29/1874 - 10/30/1924, h/o Katherine Shreiber, s/o Ferdinand & Katherine (Sohn) Haas. Catherine's entry in Woodmansee is correct. (R.O.)

Hammond, Sarah (1798-1875 Sep 22)
Not buried in Lycurgus, is buried in Mt. Hope cemetery. Woodmasee also has a correct entry for her in Mt. Hope. (R.O.)

Harkins, Bridget (1827-16 Nov 1882)
-Bridget Harkins is in the 1880 census with John Harkins and her two stepsons James and Barney, brothers, I assume, to the Neil mentioned in the obituary. She is listed as being 82 years old. Her obituary is dated a few days after the funeral, so would appear that the date of death was November 10, which is the Friday before the obit was written. Her date of birth would be closer to 1797 than 1827. (M.W.)

Harkins, John (1855-1882 Jun 22)
Woodmansee indicates no gravestone, but he does have one. His father, also John Harkins (died 5/17/1887) is not listed in Woodmansee but also has a stone. (R.O.)

Hawthorne, Mary Helen Brophy (1860 Apr 14-1922 Apr 27)
-Mary Elen Hawthorne is buried in St. Mary's Catholic cemetery, McGregor, Clayton co. IA. Death cert. gives name of husband, John C. Hawthorne & parents as John & Esther (Blau) Motherall. Unknown why 'Brophy' is included with her Woodmansee entry. (R.O.)

Henry, Leo E. (1901 Jul 08-1963 Apr 18)
-DOD in Woodmansee is incorrect. His gravestone is inscribed 1901-1984. Researchers should confirm month & day of death. (R.O.).

Hert, Peter (1804 Oct 20-1868 Jan 05)
The entry for Peter is correct, but he shares a gravestone with Elizabeth Hert, 2/5/1805 - 4/6/1862. She is not listed in Woodmansee. (R.O.)

Hird, Henry (no dates)
Hirth, ? (1829-1893 Nov 18)
Hirth, Henry (1829-1893 Nov 18)
Allamakee Death Records, pg 74, for Henry Hirt give DOD 11/18/1893 and burial in Lycurgus; gravestone gives age 65y 2m 9d, but spells surname as Hird. He had an obit in the Allamakee Journal where his surname was spelled Hirt.The other entry for ? Hirth could be for Henry's wife Louise, giving his dates in error. Confirmation of her name & dates is needed. (R.O.)

Hoffman, Mathias (1808 May 21-1881 Mar 14)
Hoffman, Mathias (1810-1893 Mar 14)
Both entries are same man. Gravestone for Mathias Hoffman = 05/21/1808 - 03/14/1891 (R.O.)

Howes, Emma A. (1880 Oct 15-1882 Jun 07)
Dau. of John C. & Louisa C. (May) Howes, she is buried in Mt. Hope cemetery. Her stone does not have DOB engraved; aged 1y 7m 22d. (R.O.)

Howes, Naomie O’Regan (1873-1895 Feb 12)
Gravestone = Nora M. wife of William Howes, dau of J. & M. O'Regan, born 1872, died 2/12/1895 (R.O.)

Keas, Melita (1872 Aug 30-1924 Feb 18)

Lowe, Frank (1882 Dec 11-1883 Feb 25)
Lowe, William J. (1880 Dec 23-1881 Jul 24)
Infant s/o James & Ann, neither of their stones have DOB engraved, only DOD. Frank 2/25/1883 aged 5m 14d; William 7/24/1881 aged 7m 1d (R.O.)

Maher, ? (died 1895 Feb 05)

Maher, Patrick (1815-1891 Sep 23)
Gravestone = died Feb 28, 1894, aged 76 yrs. The YOB is not on the gravestone. (R.O.)

Mahoney, Augusta (1838 Nov 14 1918 Aug 09)
Augusta (Kinney) Mahoney's date of death was 1915 Aug 09. Gravestone DOD appears to be 1918. ACDR, Lycurgus Church records, Death cert. & obits in several 1915 newspapers all give year of death as 1915. (R.O.)

Meyers, Ann (1857-10/25/1925)
ACDR give burial place as Lycurgus cemetery. 'Woodmansee' lists her in both Lycurgus and Mays Prairie cemeteries. The notation for Mays Prairie indicates there is a Martin Funeral Home record and the notation for Lycurgus indicates 'no grave marker'. I have not found a obit, cemetery record or church record for her. Additional information is needed to verify place of burial. (R.O.)

O'Donnell, Anthony (1857-1881 Feb 06)
Shares a gravestone w/Susan. His DOB is not on the stone, it gives his age as 75 yrs., making DOB c1806 rather than 1857. (S.F.)

O'Donnell, J. (1875-1886 May 18)
O'Donnell, John J. (1885 Jun 28-1896 May 18)

O'Donnell, Virginia Jean (1929 Apr 22-1929 May 19)
This is Virginia Jean White, same dates, and also correctly listed in Woodmansee. Obit = died in Chicago; Illinois death record (Ancestry.com) = Daughter of William J. & Jeanette (Murry) White. She has a gravestone with the dates shown in 'Woodmansee'. (R.O.

O'Donnell, William J. (1901-1962)
This is William J. White 1901 Jun 27-1962 Dec 15. Woodmansee also lists him correctly. (R.O.)

O'Meara, Dennis (1850-1936 May 13)
His obituary gives burial place as St. Mary's, Lycurgus with dates 15 Sep 1849 - 13 May 1936. Lycurgus is the correct cemetery. (D.D.)

She is correctly McLaughlin, Mary nee O'Meara, w/o John McLaughlin, d/o Dennis O'Meara. The dates are correct and she is also has a correct entry in the Woodmansee book. Her obituary gives burial in St. Mary's, Hanover. (D.D.)

Quillan, Michael (1841 Oct 08-1919 Nov 30)
-Correct burial place is St. Mary's cemetery, Hanover. His funeral was also conducted at St. Mary's Hanover. -from Jim Henderson, distant relation

Regan, Daniel (1819 Nov 01-1906 May 29)
He died in 1907, not 1906. (sources: Allamakee Death Records, obita in Allamakee Journal & Waukon Standard). His wife Mary (Devine) Regan is also buried in Lycurgus. Allamakee co. Death Records & an obit in the Allamakee Journal give her DOD as 12/10/1908, age 77 yrs. There may not be a gravestone for them. (R.O.)

Regan, Leo P. (1883 Sep 19-1938 Jan 20)
This is Anna Elizabeth (Welch) Regan, w/o James, was born in 1884 and died 1/20/1938. Her obit indicates she had 4 sons, one was Leo 'of McGregor". (R.O.)

Short, Ann (1851-1921 Jan 30)
Short, John (1862-1899 Mar 09)
-Correct surname is Ray. Her death certificate: Ana Elisa Ray, w/o John P. Ray; her dates 11/27/1888 - 04/11/1921; d/o Patrick & Elisa (Walch) Short / Shortt. The entry for John Short should be for John Ray. (R.O.)

Correct YOD is 1880. (R.O.)

Rose, Anne (1851 Aug 15-1936 Sep 22)

Sweeney, Mary (d. 1955 Nov 11)
Sweeney, Rose Marie (1966 Apr 06-1966 Apr 06)
The 3 infants of Raymond & Monica (Burke) Sweeney were originally buried in Lycurgus. When their mother died in 1990 they were reburied in the same lot as their parents in Mt. Olivet cemetery. Raymond (1922-1990) & Monica (1922 Jan 02-1990 Jul 23). At the time of Monica's burial, Eileen Woodmansee was informed of the reinterments and later passed this info to me; the parent's gravestone also includes the children's names. (R.O.)

Troendle, Bernice Ryan (1895-1969 Dec 14)
Troendle, Gertrude A. Haas (1895 Jul 27 -1969 Dec 14)
I believe both are Gertrude Elizabeth (Haas) Troendle, married to Benedict Troendle (his gravestone = Ben. W. Troendle) (R.O.)

Troendle, Mary (1931 May 15-1931 May 16)
She is buried in Gethsemane cemetery, not St. Mary's Lycurgus. Gravestone = Daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Silas Troendle, died May 15, 1934. (R.O.)

Waters, Michael (1828 Mar -- 1891 Oct 01)
Waters, Michael (died 1894 Oct 02)
-these should be one entry in Woodmansee; obituary in the Waukon Standard, 10/10/1894 "died last week". Gravestone has DOD = 10/01/1894 and DOB = March 1828. (R.O.)

Whalen, John - NM Lot 33

-John Whalen with no marker in Lot 33 at Lycurgus has a strong possibility of being the son of Thomas Whalen (brother to my great-grandfather Patrick Whalen) and Elizabeth Shortt Whalen. According to the 1880 US Census he was born in 1872 but in the Iowa State census years 1885 & 1895 his age indicates that he was born in 1874/5. His Funeral Mass card (right) gives birth date of March 14, 1879, which is likely not the correct year. A few of Thomas and Eliza Shortt Whalen's sons went west to Idaho. I had assumed John may be one of them. I know they traveled back to Iowa to visit family, especially the unmarried brothers. Although John's funeral card doesn't specifically give burial place, it would appear he was buried in Allamakee County, because the Mortuary was Bakke and Toner, which was in Waukon in the 1940s. John's parents and siblings are buried in Lycurgus (as were his Whalen and Shortt ancestors and cousins), so Lycurgus cemetery is the most likely cemetery. The only other John Whalen listed in Woodmansee is John Henry Whalen buried at Wexford, a member of an unrelated family. If there is a record of the sale of Lycurgus Lot 33, that may be helpful. (M.W.) Added 2/27/2022 by D.D.: "I have the obit for John P Whalen, who is buried in Lycurgus. Mathew Whalen was unsure of his place of burial."
