comments |
| Wilhelmina's death was not reported in the Grindstone Advertiser, nor was her burial in 1878 recorded by the village of Berea. The only evidence of her presence in the cemetery is a 1904 transcription of a stone that said "Wilhelmina Kraft, dau of Gottlieb and Wilhelmina Kraft, b. July 30, 1874, d. Oct. 29, 1878". Her stone was not transcribed in 1934, and there is only one Kraft on the list of lot purchasers, John Kraft. Her name does not appear on the John and Louisa Kraft monument. Her family was enumerated after her death in the 1880 census in Berea: Godlib [Gottlieb] (38, a farmer) and Wilhelmina Kraft (44); their children were William (13), Robert (11), Louisa (10), and Theodore (8). There is a Gottlieb M. Kraft, d. 6 Nov. 1896, with a Sophie Kraft, buried in Woodvale Cemetery--possibly her father and a second wife, but no children are buried with them. |
