9 Aug 2019 Update: Terry Lack, photographer, found this couple reburied at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Detroit.

We assumed that this couple was buried at Saint Peters Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery, Eastpointe, Macomb County, Michigan, USA with the rest of our original to America Family.In Section 5; communal burial. (Removed from old second church (first was a log cabin) across the street. After the second cemetery closed bodies were moved to three cemeteries.) Photographer, Terry Lack, found that the family moved her body to Forest Lawn. The family had money, so we are tickled that they purchased her a headstone!
