Parent-Proof notes for Hannah Woodruff
Napoleon married (perhaps second) Hannah Nickolls 26 Nov 1839 in Hancock, OH
Death and Find-a-Grave notes for Napoleon Bonaparte (Spouse 1)
Napoleon is on find-a-grave which says he is buried in Perry County, Arkansas. He died in 1899. His wife is buried in Hancock County, OH where they lived. She died in 1884.

I think I can explain why he is not buried with her. If we start with the 1880 Census, Napoleon was living with his son Frank in Douglas Co, IL and Hannah was living with their son Milton in Hancock County, OH.

Frank died in 1883 and is also buried, per his find-a-grave memorial, in the same cemetery as his father. What were they doing in Arkansas? The answer surely has something to do with the fact that in 1880, we find Napoleon’s son Michael already there, in Perry County, AR. So apparently, sometime not long after 1880, Napoleon and Franklin both found their way to Perry County where both died.
