==============================
John Switzer, born 1863, is buried in Jasper County # 133439210.
One tree said he was Amelia's son.
Mary A. Switzer, 27, daughter of John Switzer and Sarah A. Lint,
married Anton McNall on October 22, 1887 in Nevada, Story County, Iowa.
Mary Matilda McNall, born Feb 22, 1860 in Pennsylvania to John Sweitzer and Sarah Lint, died March 10, 1915 in Maxwell County, Iowa.
So this is not the Amelia Lint who was in Iowa in 1860.
John B. Switzer, 22, son of John B. Switzer and Sarah "TINT", married Melissa Ann Farmer, 24, on Nov 8, 1883 in Tama County, Iowa.
This might be John H. Switzer, who was in Mahaska County in 1880...
