Gerald Edwin Schultz

Rest In Peace - My grandfather Gerald E. Schultz, son of Anna Kruger and Ervin Schultz of Worth County, Iowa.

I never had the chance to get to know my grandfather. I feel very robbed of his love and hope that someday in a better place, we will meet.

James Jeremiah Brower and Pearl Curtis (Rocelah "Rozella" Pearl Chase) Tombstone Pics


Never underestimate the kindness of a good neighbor and wonderful friend. My friend just so happens to have been visiting family in St. Joseph, Missouri. I had recently found my ancestor James Jeremiah Brower was buried at Mt. Auburn Cemetery in St. Joseph, Missouri. After calling the cemetery and getting a map of his tombstone location and verifying NO other BROWER family were buried there, my wonderful friend went on a tombstone hunt for me and not only did he find James Jeremiah Brower, but also his wife Pearl Brower CURTIS !! The date of her birth is the same date as the first wife, Rozella Pearl Chase. With this new information, I found Pearl returned to Jim about 8 to 10 years later after being estranged and they remarried. After Jim passed away, she remarried and because Pearl Curtis.
