It was noted-in my handwriting- many years ago on this obit that ggrandfather had been moved from Paola in 1934 to Elmwood Cemetery to be laid beside his wife Sarah Elvira Porter,in Chanute.I believe his grandson had him moved. I had forgotten but a cousin had found this additional information some years ago and I am finally confirming it upon finding this old obit in my files.
