Robert was 70 at the time of his death. Burial was 19 January 1886. The lot was purchased by H. H. Warner who most likely is Robert and Paulina's daughter Emma's husband. Robert is buried in lot 156 and the Warner family in lots 156 and 155. Robert's wife Paulina most likely is also buried somewhere within these two lots but not recorded for some reason.

When visiting the cemetery lots 155 and 156 it can be seen there are a number of burial plots where people can be buried or are buried and not recorded.

My belief is Paulina is buried there unless they were having a family feud at the time of her death. It is likely that she was buried right there at Minden even if they were having a serious family feud at that time.

Notice Robert's tombstone shows he died Jan. 19, 1886. The funeral home card on him states he was buried Jan. 19, 1886. If he both died on the 19th and was buried the 19th it could indicate he had a serious illness and needed to be buried rapidly. Probably the death card for the burial date was wrong. I ran my bare hand over the other three sides of Robert's tombstone and there is no other data on those three sides.

There is room between Robert's and daughter Emma's plot for Paulina to be buried. But there are no records and no headstone so maybe she is not buried there. I will do more checking with the cemetery to see if they know of other burials other than those with tombstones in lots 155 and 156.

In the group of tombstones on lots 155 and 156 you can see Robert Redlon's stone to the left. The next low stone to the right is daughter Emma Redlon Warner and the old stone to the far right front is a Warner stone. There are a number of places on lots 155 and 156 where Paulina may be buried. Notice there is room for a burial between Robert and Emma's stones.
