Death records for Fremont County, Iowa

The following information comes from Find-A-Grave.

Asa Jackson died 7 February 1901.  He is buried in the Grandview Cemetery in Sidney, Fremont County, Iowa.  There is a picture of his gravestone.

Mary Ann Hanley Jackson died 21 May 1903.  [Hanley, not Handley]  She is buried in Rector Cemetery in Sidney, Fremont County, Iowa. Included on the page for Mary Ann Hanley Jackson is a reprinted obituary from the Fremont County Herald of21 May 1903.

The cemeteries may or may not have records confirming the dates of death.  As for vital records from the State of Iowa, I'm not sure that they have death records before 1904.

A correction.  The obituary for Mary Ann Hanley Jackson was dated 28 May 1903 [not 21 May].
