In Response To: Elizabeth T. Wheeler (James Mincks)

The Elizabeth T. Wheeler from Madrid, Iowa who was married to Walter Henry Wheeler is not Elizabeth HOWARD. She is Elizabeth T. CONN.

From an earlier post [May 11, 2012], you said that you were trying to locate:
"Needing to find copies of obituaries for Elizabeth T. Wheeler and her husband Walter H. who are buried in Fairview cemetery, just northwest of Madrid, Iowa. Want to see if her father was Reason (Rezin) Howard, who is buried in Pine Hill, in Polk county, also any living children or siblings. My grandfather was the grandson of her uncle, Israel Howard. Her birth date is 4/6/1891, and died on 2/16/1983; Walter was born 9/28/1884, and died on 1/7/1969. I am working on a more accurate family tree, and would like to add them if they are the missing couple who no one can find. thanks, James."

Social Security Death Index confirms that Elizabeth Wheeler was born April 6, 1891 and died February 16, 1983.

Here is what I located for you to determine that her maiden name is CONN.
