son of Johan Michael Heller and Magdalena Catherine Keiper

I had questioned if the gravestone on this page belongs to Creek Mike. A numerical index of Lime Kiln grave locations that has an accompanying list of names telling who is at what grave location number does not have Creek Mike's name on it but the name of his father Michael was and Elder Mike's grave location was cited as being at the very spot this gravestone is at in the cemetery. On another list of Lime Kiln buried, both father & son's names appear and the comment on Creek Mike is no gravemarker. In reply to my questioning, Tom Myers tells of the 1922 cemetery survey that said the son, Creek Mike, had a gravestone & none was found for his father. Tom also mentions that in 1922 the gravestone was probably still readable. An excellent point for sure. Just another bit of confusion to add to the long list of confusion when it comes to the many Michael Heller's that had lived in Lower Saucon at the same time - RJH
