I went to Cave Hill today and they gave me a diagram of the 12 caskets in the Beddiges-Snavely-Manstedt plot. I believe this Henry is the brother of Wilhelmina "Mina" because they were buried the same day and together in a very small casket. Since Mina was just less than four months old, my guess is that they were cremated. From information I found on FamilySearch.org, this person's full name was Heinrich Christian Beddiges and was born on April 11, 1865. I will add a photo of the ground where Henry and Mina were interred.

Henry was christened on June 4, 1865. I have not found exactly when he died but it must have been no later than 1880 because he was not listed in the 1880 census as living with his parents, two surviving sisters and grandfather. If he died young enough, this would explain the small casket used to rebury him and his sister, Mina, at Cave Hill on November 15, 1888.
