Hello, I see your question here about the death/burial place of Hendrik ROGHAIR. His years: 1822-1878
My hunch is that he is buried at the Orange City West Lawn cemetery, but not absolutely certain. I wonder IF there was never a grave stone put in place for him? I am the Sioux County IA coordinator. Here is an Obituary found & posted a few years ago. I copied it to post here. Hopefully this will help you. My name is Linda Ziemann, (email is: lin.ziemann48@gmail.com)
