George Herman (also spelled "Hermann") is my husband's 2nd great uncle. George's wife's name on her tombstone in spelled "Alvina". Still need to verify which is correct.

They are my great grandparents.
Thanks for posting.
Thanks (is it Bambi?)! I noted the spelling difference with Alvina. I agree. I think the newspaper misspelled it. I've seen them misspell so much stuff too! Thanks!
