BELLMER & ADELBERTA GERKENS. We would also love to have whatever Bellmer information you may have and be put in contact with the other Bellmer descendant you have talked to. John C. & Adelberta (Gerkens) Bellmer are buried in the Dunkerton Cemetary, Dunkerton, Black Hawk Co., Iowa. The information I received from the D.Cemetary book is as follows: "John Bellmer was a Civil War veteran, Grand Army of the Republic, b. 1828 - d. 13 Jun. 1901. John's children were SOPHIA (BELLMER) MEYERS, MRS. CHARLES (MARY BELLMER) KRAHN who died 16 November 1941,age 83 of Flint, Michigan; MRS. DANIEL (MATILDA* BELLMER) SMITH, and sons CHARLES DAGE BELLMER of Dunkerton and HENRY BELLMER." (My mother-in-law [living] is a descendant of Charles Dage Bellmer.) * In the Dunkerton Cemetary book, Mrs. Daniel Smith (aka Matilda) is listed as "Rosena". May be Matilda's middle name or could be a total mistake of the compiler of this Cemetary list. Sandy Childs jschilds@pacbell.net Note: More information on his children available.
