I had seen the name Wells as her first husband. The date you provide for his enlistment helps braket the time pertiod that Alphonzo made the notation of the men. I suspect that the war debilitated Chester's health. I do not have any hard proof of Alphonzo's place of death or burial. Notes in a family copy of the Hollenbeck Home indicate "d.6/26/1873 Calif". History of Pettis Co. indcates he died in S. America. (Could it be Nicaragua?). According to records, J.E. went to LA in 1874 to visit and in 1876 to buy land; meaning he hadn't moved there yet. Could JE have had him re-buried in LA? Evergreen Cemetery doesn't know who the "A.H." Hollenbeck is that is buried along side of JE and Elizabeth. My bet is Alphonzo - we don't know his middle name. There is also an Otto Wolf buried in the Hollenbeck plot. You live in or near LA? Anxious to learn more. - Rick
