Since being back in the mood to do some more research, we ran across the Bickford Cemetery in Ellis County Kanas. Also some listings in the Lutheran Cemetery in Ellis County too! I have requested additional information on the Longhofer's buried there, this might be some help in filling in the blank lines.
Upade: Donna, who is maintaining the Luthern Data above, was nice enough to send a listing from her database. Included was some articles about Jonas Longhofer being killed. Interesting read from 1944. Click on the Title above to see the rest of the story.
