SCHAFER, John

1834

5 JAN. 1904

No Stone - Veteran of Civil War (Nick-Name was "Shinny Honus")- was born in Germany

The names that are highlighted are ones that, through the personal knowledge of this researcher,

are known to be buried there; others are ones that this researcher believes to be correct based

on family plots and/or the location of tombstones at the time the old D.A.R. readings were made.

At that time many of the tombstones were still in place.

Following are other known burials found by researching the death indexes, obituaries, and Adams

County, Indiana history books.  The location of these graves is unknown, although some, like the

Lord children are known to be in the southeast corner of the cemetery.  The Markenke family is most

likely buried near William and Annice Watts, as they were family members and there are empty spaces

in this area that could contain their graves.
