Dale Woodmansee performed a wonderful service in surveying all the tombstones in the cemeteries in Allamakee county and publishing the data; but with any undertaking of this magnitude, there likely are errors, conflicting information or descrepancies. User-contributed information has been added on the Woodmansee Notes pages.
