It is unknown where Johanna is buried, but most likely in Highland Public Cemetery next to her husband, Andrew Bolster. (Interesting, according to 1881 History of Iowa County, Dr. Gordon Andrews was born 1831 in Canada, relocated to Highland in 1859, and in 1877 to Town of Eden. In 1861, he married a Hannah Louise Kelch, a native of Germany, who died in 1880. Note below: a Johanna (Hannah?) Kelch married Andrew Bolster in 1847. Andrew died in 1861, and his estate paid out $222 to Dr. Gordon Andrews. It is thought Hannah nee Kelch Bolster married a second time, namely to Dr. Gordon Andrews. It is unknown where Dr. Andrews is buried.)
2020 Update: Iowa County Wisconsin Marriage records, Vol. 2A, #265/267 "Gordon Andrews, son of Sebi. Andrews and Elizabeth Andrews, physician, Town of Highland, born Canada/Harrisville?, married Johanna Bolster, daughter of Christian and Christine Kelch on April 15, 1862, at Village of Highland, white, civil."
**********************************************************
Note: Andrew Bolster, #137094384, born about 1813 (The 1850 Census says 35 years old thus born in 1815), died March 30,1861 according to probate records, is also buried at Highland. (Note the tombstone photo which appears to have a death date of 1860 something, 1861 according to probate, thus 46 years old.) This Andrew emigrated from Bavaria, Germany and was an early settler in Highland operating a Boarding House/Tavern ca. 1847. His naturalization papers have been found, and the parcel description of his business.
Relationship of Andrew Bolster ca. 1815-1861 to Andrew Bolster ca. 1856-1896 is unknown at this time, but would seem to be father/son. However, the probate records of the elder Andrew does not indicate he had any children. The younger Andrew may be a nephew of the elder Andrew.
