Description	:	Note: this memorial updated May 1, 2015 with updated name information and obituary transcription. -------------- Caution: The first name as used on the headstone inscription is "Blanch"; however, it appears from other sources that the correct spelling should have been "Blanche".

Most likely this was an engraving error that was not possible to correct without creating a whole new monument, which was probably not feasible for either the engraver or the family once the error was caught. Will use "Blanche" for the first name for this memorial since that is the name used in her obituary, that of her husband Henry's obituary, and in the obituaries of sons Mervin and Vern (sic. though Vern's obituary listed her maiden name as "Simpson" instead of "Simmons"). Update: accurate first names are allowed to be entered onto memorials - there is no F/A/G policy that requires headstone inscription errors to be used for first names. How surnames should be matched is another naming convention. ------------ Fairfield Ia.
