1930 Tombstone:171, v. 2, bk. 1, p. 90. Greenlawn Cemetery, Wapakoneta, Auglaize County, Ohio. (Lila Shroyer's17, p. 167. Greenlawn Cemetery Tombstones, Wapakoneta, Ohio, published in 1985, mistakenly lists death date as Dec. 24, 1930. Greenlawn Cemetery burials published from cemetery records and stone readings by the Auglaize County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society in 1991 gives death date as Dec. 24, 1929. This 1929 date is confirmed by the 1930 U.S. census taken on 3 April 1930, which clearly identifies husband Art Klipfel as a "widower.")
