Inscription
The tombstone on Josephina Hatke Deiterman's grave has her name spelled Detterman, however her husband John always used the spelling of Deiterman. All of the documentation I've found on Josephine after her marriage to John has the spelling as Deiterman. I think this grave marker was placed sometime in the 1990s. I do not know who placed the grave marker. The original grave marker was a concrete block with a metal plate with the inscription: Josephine Detterman. The date of birth on her tombstone is incorrect. It should be August 30, 1847
According to the church records at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Teutopolis, Illinois, Josephine was born on August 30, 1847. Josephine changed the spelling of the name to Detterman around 1905.
Died at home at West, McLennan Co., Texas of Broncho-Pneumonia; Contributory-Influenza.
