comments
Louise was born in Prussia. Berea lists her age at death as 19 years old. Also, Berea lists her date of burial as October 1876. Lot 198 was purchased by FrelkBrown and sold to Charley Behnke. She is not enumerated in any census. An inscription of a headstone for Louise Behnke was not recorded in 1904 or 1934. However, a broken headstone exists with the inscription "Louise Behnke". The stone has been broken and repaired with a black substance. The stone features the symbol of two hands shaking with four flowers, three above and one below, around the handshake. "Behnke, Louisa b. in Prussia, June 16, 1867. d. Sept. 16, 1876."
