Velma -- Reprints of the 1880 History of Dane County are available but expensive, especially if you want it for only a few quick lookups. You might consider checking out a copy from your local library instead. I borrowed a copy through an interlibrary loan a few years ago. Your local library can get you a copy for a nominal fee (my library charged me $3). Also, there is an index to the book's biographies online at USGenWeb's project archives for Dane County at http:// www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/dane/dane.htm .

Do you live near there? 2 things you can do is 1, contact the church to see who has the cemetery records, and see if they have a death date. The other is to take colored chalk and rub over the stone, you would be amazed at what comes up that way. If you do, and you have a digital camera, take a picture with the highest resolution you can, and email me (With the highest resoulution you can) and I will take a look at it.
