Obit from Lawrence Journal-World of March 15 2002. Ernest Nelson Freeman Military graveside services for Ernest Nelson Freeman, 77, Lawrence will be at 1 p.m. Friday at Memorial Park Cemetery. Mr. Freeman died Tuesday March 12, 2002, at Baldwin Care Center. He was a long time Lawrence resident. He was born July 13, 1924, in Eudora, the son of Nelson and Elsie Lenora (Mathia) Freeman.

He was a lifetime member of Alford-Clarke Post No. 852 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Lawrence, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers No. 226. He married Irene Marie Kaufman on March 14, 1947, in Lawrence. She survives of Lawrence. Other survivors include a daughter, Kathy Jorgensen, Lawrence; a brother, Bernard, Lawrence; and two grandchildren. The family will receive friends from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. today at Warren-McElwain Mortuary. The family suggests memorials to World War II Veterans Memorial, sent in care of the mortuary.

Found two items in the Lawrence newspaper, though neither were under obituaries. Had about given up hope of finding anything, particularly the amount of time after death for it to be in the paper.

I have checked the Baldwin Ledger microfilm for an obituary around the date of death of 12 Feb. 1924. Found no obituary by checking up to a month after death. The Baldwin library has a partial index of obits and it did not have any entry for Adeline Johanning either. Also checked index for husband's obit and there is nothing recorded for him either. The burial is recorded along with her husband C. F. Johanning in St. John's United Church of Christ cemetery in Willow Springs Twp.
