ANDERSON posted by Mardi Anderson on Sunday, August 20, 2006

I am looking for any record of the burial of a child who died at birth on Oct. 20, 1909. She was a twin (the other survived) born to Anna and William O. Anderson and is reportedly buried at Cedar Rapids but I don't know which cemetery. The family lived on a farm north of Cedar Rapids, somewhere between Primrose and Albion at that time. They had moved there in the spring of 1909 from a farm on the Cedar River probably south of Cedar Rapids. About 1911 or 1912 they moved to North Bend. Since they moved around so much I suspect they rented rather than owned the farms on which they lived so the only trace of them in the county is probably this burial. Thank you for any help you can provide.
