Buried With No Kin?

For years, I assumed that my aunt Elizabeth (Trautvetter) Herzog, was buried in one of two cemeteries where she had relatives. It seemed reasonable that she was in a grave that was never marked or where the stone had worn away. Dying in her early thirties, she was not buried with her husband who had remarried after her death.

Turned out she was buried in a cemetery where no other relatives are located. Most likely it was near where she and her husband were living at the time of her death.

Not everyone’s buried in the same cemetery as their local kin.

And…it also helps to have the name of a female relative’s last husband.
