In the Oakwood Cem., Saline, Mich. where Walter is buried, is a John Kanouse 1797-1889 and Eleanore 1777-1878. Apparently these are two that were on that 1850 census. There are no other Kanouse in the Cem. except Walter and Mary's family. Frederick (Fred) 1856- bur 9 Oct1922 may be a brother, as he is on the same lot, also Clara B. 1867-bur. 7 July 1944 is his son's, Fred's, wife. (This might be a typo as his son Fred was born in 1865 & maybe this is Fred his son, not brother and the years were transposed). Clara Oregan 1884-1947 is also buried on that lot with Walter and Mary.
On one note it said Walter Kanouse's father was Fred of Pittsfield, MI, formerly of NY.

So was a cousin, Donaner (or Dorence) Kanouse age 21, Mary Roger Kanouse's son. Charles Jackson and Clarisse Owens have been given as Anna's parents, so William and Mary A.
