Gustaf and Emma Anderson's first five children were born in Richland Township and the last three in Wheeler Township. They had one son, David Emanuel born and died in 1880 and a daughter, Maria Othilia, who died at the age of 14 in 1908. All are buried in the Odebolt Cemetery except for Elwood who is buried in the Kiron Cemetery, Kiron Crawford County Iowa.  I don't know what year this was taken, but before 1919.  - Sharyl Mildenstein
