Powell's Remains

[Linda Anderson]

The article that Roger mentions from Fold3 is from the August 12, 1910 Washington Post.

There is no mention of Troy, NY. The article says Ulke was 77 and that "burial services will be held at the family home, 1427 U street, northwest, this afternoon at 2:30 PM with burial at Rock Creek Cemetery."

Ulke was born in Germany and had come to the U.S. in 1860. "Mr. Ulke was a member of Prof. Simon Newcomb's party to Africa in 1882 to observe the transit of Venus."

So another burial at Rock Creek Cemetery.
