Notes :

Six of their children died young, one as an infant and it is presumed that the other five died as a result of Typhoid or influenza, which was prevalent at the times of their deaths. Although there is no proof of burial location, it is highly probable that these children and spouses are buried at this cemetery, since the family lived on this property until the demise of Elisabeth in 1862.
