A partial page from the parish register at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Elkport, Clayton County, Iowa includes a Bierbaum baptismal entry. It is a page "at right" within the register with names of parents and sponsors; the left page with infants' names and dates of birth is missing. The "68" at the top of the right page indicates entries are from the year 1868. This would be the baptismal entry for Clara M. (Bierbaum) Pufahl, born November 27, 1867, baptized 1868. Could her middle name have been "Maria" or "Margaretha" like those of the female sponsor, Marie Margaretha Karoline Bierbaum?
