Hi Ed, I did promise to put your request on my TO DO list. It's even still November of the same year. So here goes. First, bad news. I could not find your Joseph T. Kelly in the cemetery book, but I only looked under the Kelly name. It is possible that he's listed under a married daughter's name. Such things have happened and were to be corrected in the 1991 supplement. Didn't see any corrections. Now, hopefully, some good news. I went through the book and here are the Kellys listed: Hope you can make a connection. Columbus City Cemetery, Columbus City, Louisa County, Iowa (page CC-73) KELLY, Amor N., 1873-1946; husb of Nell F.

John, d. 1868 You've probably got all this, but thought it might help, too. I didn't specifically look for GENTZLERs, but only ran across this list when looking for the Kellys. There may be more Gentzlers buried in Louisa county. As for Joseph, have you tried Henry or Washington counties. Washington county, especially, is not too far east of the CC cemetery; perhaps 5 miles. And Winfield, in Henry county, is the next "big" town to the SW. Glad I could help and happy hunting.
