I have found a GEORGE H TIMANUS (1846-1923) in the Olathe Memorial Cemetery, Olathe KS in a TIMANUS plot. Listed with ELIZA A.TIMANUS (b. 08/06/1828 d.08/27/1886); Joseph B Timanus (b. 05/03/1826 d. 07/01/1901); HARRIET Y WIGGINS (b. 02/14/1819 d. 04/03/1937); "SWEET TWINS " May 1 1903 (don't know if the last name is SWEET or this is a term of endearment); JOSEPH W TIMANUS (b. 01/01/1855 d. 12/09/1915); EDWARD VICTOR (b. 1861 d. 1930, son of Martha A Timanus' from a prior marriage); MARTHA A TIMANUS (b.1863 d. 1946); and her husband WILLIAM A TIMANUS (b.1866 d.1941)

George served in the Civil War Co D 185 Ohio Infantry.
Photos of these tombstones will be availabe in the next few months on a website (google Johnson County KS Digital Cemetery Project). Can any one tell me if these SWEET TWINS had a TIMANUS or SWEET surname and who the parents are. There is a SWEET family living in Olathe in the Census of 1910.
