  	From Jane Sanderman Mason, correspondent, note of November5, 2011 Note the difference in dates of death. I *would* have saidthe error probably is with the WPA, that the county clerkrecord was the more accurate. *But* a picture of thegravestone is online and it is the record attributed to thecounty clerk that appears to be in error, or perhapswhoever transcribed the entry from the county clerkrecords. Only ordering the microfilm would resolve that. Itcould also be the gravestone was made years later and thewrong date carved. That seems less likely as it is a oblisktype of stone with three persons inscribed, Jonathan,Electa, Zenas. WPA Graves Registration Franklin county Iowa SPRAGUE, J.H.
