General Notes:
Son of Christian & Kattie (Mundist) Wilhelm; Husband of Frances V. (Gill).
Contribution form neighbor, Stephen Baker: Son of Christian and Kattie Wilhelm, he and his sister Lena both lived at the Wilhelm farm until their deaths. Frances Wilhelm (long-time teacher) was Henry's wife. Charles Gill (buried beside Lena) was Frances's brother. No blood relation w/ the Wilhelms. Henry and his sister, Lena, attended a 1-room schoolhouse at a location near the intersection of SW Graham's Ferry and SW Bell Road, just west of the 1906 Edward & Emma Baker home (2-sty., still standing, though extensively expanded). There was a post office in the previous, old house and the postal name was "Graeme, Oregon." There was a Graeme family on the southern terminus of the Graham's Ferry crossing, or this could have been another, old spelling for the John Graham family name. Would have to investigate US Postal records.
