John was originally buried in St. John's Lutheran Church Cemetery but as Easton was growing, town elders wanted the church cemeteries moved outside of the city. St. John's, the German Reformed Cemetery, where the current Easton Library is located, the Jewish Cemetery and a few others were moved. Relatives, if found, were asked where they wanted their family members moved and if none were found, many were then moved to Easton Cemetery. Johann and his wife, Catharina were moved to Easton Cemetery. Their gravestones and presumably "their bodies" are in Section M 11-20 at Easton. Their stones are right inside the cemetery to the left along the wall. The old gravestones were placed in rows in this area. A number are broken and not in great condition. The photo shows the rows of the flat stones in Easton Cemetery.
