As is typical of most German cemeteries, there are no marked graves of this era due to the custom of "recycling" burial plots every so many years. The evidence for locating Margaretha's final resting place at this cemetery is based on a family history of Christian Nielsen and his descendants published in 1997 by Ernst-August Martensen, 4th-greatgrandson of Catharina and Christian Nielsen. In that history, Hans-Adolf writes that his wife was buried in the cemetery in Gelting in the grave where his grandmother (presumably Catharina Nielsen) was buried.
