Notes:

The names you have given below appear on the Lawler Mt Carmel Cemetery lis t. Unfortunately, the gravestones have only the year so still don't know t he date of the month for either John and Auguste. I accessed the Socie ty Security disk and find the same information that you have given witho ut the date.. The Soc Sec file does indicate the birth dates, month and ye ar of death and the location of the death as Lawler.I looked into our obituary clipping 1973 and 1977 files and find no obitu aries for either John and Auguste Gossling.I would guess that obituaries may have been placed in the New Hampton News papers. There is no Lawler newspaper, so the New Hampton ones would probab ly have it. The bi-weekly newspapers for the time period were either New H ampton Tribune and/or Economist, both names by the same newspaper company .
