Cav. G.A.R." [Note this differs from obit info. on his Civil War service: Company H. lst Iowa Cavalry. It could be the 11 was mistaken for the H ? Not sure which is correct. ] Source: Lucas County , Iowa Cemetery Records, 1981 edition, p. 263. There are many Gilberts in the LaGrange Cemetery, Cedar Twp., and some in the Greenville Cemetery, Washington Twp., both of which are near the Monroe Co., IA line. I did not note the burial locations for Nathan's wf and children, however, did find one of the three infants buried at Greenville Cemetery: p. 27-248 "GILBERT, Wilbert sn of N. & M.N. Sept. 17, 1868 ag 1m 17d" He is the only Gilbert buried near that location. At LaGrange Cemetery, there seems to be the eldest of the Gilbert's buried there, your posible GGG-Grandpa? :-): p. 18, Row 5 N-S #1. GILBERT, William Aug. 27, 1812-June 5, 1879 Elizabeth Feb. 1, 1817- Apr 29, 1902" Several Gilbert family members are buried next to William & Elizabeth. Possible siblings & relatives to Nathan? Inbetween Albert Gilbert, b. abt 1836, @ #3 and Elizabeth Gilbert, b. abt 1861, dau. of Albert was Martha Shumway who d. Sept 5, 1866 @ ag 86y 2m 28d [b. abt 1780]. Was she the mother of Mrs. Wm. Gilbert, or mother of William but remarried? Or, how related, IF related ? There's 32y between Martha and William and 37y between Mrs. Wm. & Martha.
