Dear Robert,

There is both a Marion County, Iowa, and a Marion Township, Iowa.
Marion Township is not in Marion County; it is in Linn County. I
checked several cemeteries in Linn County but did not find
either William Bradley nor Nancy Bradley. These are the ones
I checked: Oak Shade, Mt. Clark, Jordans Grove, Prairie Chapel,
Crab Apple, Robins (aka Horn, Mentzer, and Kramer), and Martin's
Creek.

Good luck with your research,
Edith Lillie Bartley
