Surnames: Re Edwin Gorham Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BiZ.2ACIB/260.1.1 Message Board Post: Dave, this is weird. The Edwin H. Gorham I am related to is in Seward Mound Cemetary in Minooka IL. The only thing on his headstone is 17th Cav., Co. D, and died in 1879. How can he be buried in 2 places at once, and have died in 2 different years? :) Looking at the census records out here, my Edwin DID die before the 1880 census, as Gr. Gr. Gram is listed as a widow. the story was that he was in the Spanish-American war, but of course, he'd been dead well before that. HELP!
