    Considering that:

    1) He and his wife were recorded in Ainsworth NE in the 1930 census.

    2) Ainsworth NE is over 250 miles from Denison IA

    3) Clarissa (Wightman) Wilson is buried in Ainsworth NE

    4) Many of their offspring lived and died in Ainsworth NE

    5) He is not shown in the online burial records for Ainsworth Cemetery

    He may have died at Ainsworth NE or in Iowa.

    Possibly he was initially buried with his parents at Denison IA and later re-interred with his wife at Ainsworth NE?
