Possible Kangas Plot

Kangas, Leander/Leonard
May 8, 1905 - June 25, 1937
Kangas, Mrs.

There is a section that is fenced in, indicating that it may be a family plot but it is unknown at this time who is buried there."
My mom remembers that some people came in and took away the old stones, tore down the old fence and built a new fence.
They said that they were coming back with new stones, but never did.
Kangas (last name as my dad calls him) removed the marker with plans to make a better one, but hadn’t gotten around to it yet. JHB
