Karoline was Baptized at the Concordia Lutheran Church, Pickerel Lake Twp. on 11 Dec 1881. The record lists parents as Karl Steinmüller and Anna Platt. Anna had married Christian Bailey on 19 Oct 1881, so Christian was Karoline's stepfather. However, the Pickerel Lake Township Death Record for Karoline lists her parents as Christian and Anna Bailey, so possibly Christian had adopted her. The Concordia Luther Church Funeral Record continued to list the father as Karl Steinmüller. So the issue remains unresolved.
Anna married Christian when Karoline was ten months old.
Karoline died at age four at her home in Pickerel Lake Twp.,from Diptheria. Christian purchased one site in Lot 53 in Graceland Cemetery for her burial site. Christian and his second and third wives are buried in the adjacent Lot 54. The rationel for purchasing the extra burial site is a bit mysterious, as there must have been extra space in Lot 54. Graceland Cemetery records show that members of another family are buried in the other sites in Lot 53. Karoline has no tombstone.
