Lynn, Thanks for sending the additional clues. They made the difference! In the Hepler City Cemetery: Catherine Wills died Dec 21 1900 aged 77 y Asleep in Jesus J. A. Willis Co. D. 1st Minn Cav. (Yes, their last names were spelled differently. Mr. Cuthbertson underlined the "i" in Willis to make it apparent that he recognized the difference, so I would think that means they were spelled differently on the tombstones.)
