I am looking for descendants of Leslie C. lemon and Mary L. Lemon of Center Grove, Twp in Spirit Lake, IA. I am also interested in the cemetery that they may be buried in. I found them on the 1920's Dickinson County census with their daughter Jennie (Jane) lemon Paul and my great uncle Walter M. Paul. Uncle Walter died in Long Beach CA Jan 23, 1970. He is not buried with Aunt Jennie and they had no children. He was a very special uncle and I have most of his pictures etc. I would really like to complete his file knowing where Aunt Jennie and her parents are buried. the census states that Leslie C. Lemon and Mary were both born in NY. Jennie was born in Indiana. Uncle Walter was born in Glidden, IA as was was his brother and sister, Emory A' Paul and Etta Paul. Does anyone on this site have info on any of these people? Bonnie Morris Conrad
