While both the death certificate and obituary indicate interment in Highland Memorial Park Cemetery, there is no marker and the records for the cemetery are inconclusive. The cemetery records do show two graves in the Christman family plot (Section D, lot 909 and adjacent) are occupied, both marked on cemetery records with an X and a question mark and so he is likely in one of these. Other circumstances of a complicated life may have contributed to lack of a marker; he moved frequently, was married four times, and for the six years prior to his death had been living under an alias in Lynn, Massachusetts. He returned to the Lehigh Valley just prior to his death to live with his daughter by his first wife, who gave the wrong first name (Erwin vs Edwin) for both the death certificate and the obituary.
