  		I124690 Possible graveston of William E. Sprague in GreenwoodCemetery, Bemidji, Beltrami Co., MN
  Notes	(Research):From William G. Sprague, correspondent, note of 20 October2020 A bit of a mystery. Also buried in the Greenwood Cemeteryis William Elbert Sprague who may be I124690. He was bornon April 12, 1878, the same DOB as William Elbert Spraguein the cemetery. The one in the cemetery has a DOD of Jan.19, 1952, but the one posted has no DOD. I can see no otherconnection as to them being the same person, but perhapsyou can. The family of the posted one seems to be from IAand Ohio. Strange he would have the same full name and DOB:Here is a copy of his grave stone. [3]
