    Hell of a tombstone. Still weird that there is no real tie. I wouldn't think Iowa was "pretty". What about Hawaii, George?

    Sounds and looks like the spot he picked is really beautiful and he fell in love with it.

    He had a bunch of kids. Maybe one went to Iowa to college or married someone from there and he figured out he liked the area? Or something like that.

    A lot of these no tie situations theres usually a tie its just not something on the surface you read on wiki.

    It feels so miserable, seeing all these legends go.
