I do have a picture of their graves. I don't know where it is at the moment. The Stone says Fred Schlechtweg and Anna E.

Obit of Ernest Friedrich Schlechtweg son of Johann Andreas Schlechtweg born January 15, 1833 and Friedrike Wilhelmina Auguste Bernadine Hößel (Hossel) born August 24, 1836.
Johann Andreas Schlechtweg is brother to Ernest Friedrich Schlechtweg.

This Ernest Friedrich Schlechtweg is Ernest Friedrich nephew who died in Germany.

From the Heimatglocken of Urnshausen, Nov 1911
Sadly what I still have to report that on Oct.15 evening at 8:00 a short illness of pneumonia, the doctor realized that Ernest Friedrich Schlechtweg died. We could live it as a cheerful man. Arn first Kirchweihtag, of the feast of The Man the grave took up his bones. In the house, from which he was being carried out as dead, he moved in only a little over two weeks ago. It is his parents house. These are old people who experienced their golden wedding anniversary two years ago. The deceased was 49 years (born on June 9, 1862). He leaves a widow and four young children. He was married for a second time. The marriage remained childless. He has long been away in Eisleben, for 14 years, first as a servant, then as ironworkers in the copperworks. After that he lived here and went to the very end in the Dietlaser manhole. The widow in their suffering, we read in the funeral service the consolation award Psalms 37.5 Commit to the Lord your ways and trust and trust also in Him, he will do it well!
