comments
She was a student at German Wallace College. Berea's list of burials says only "1879 Anna Kuhlman Dec." From the Grindstone Advertiser, 19 December 1878: "Death of Anna Kuehlmann. Miss Anna Kuehlmann, a relative of Mrs. Kraft, died of consumption, last Saturday, aged 20. She took a severe cold last spring, and settling on her lungs, ended in consumption. Miss Kuehlmann was a former studeut[sic] of G.W.C., and a very worthy young lady. The funeral took place on Monday, at the German M.E. Church, conducted by Rev. P.F. Schneider." A 1904 transcription of her stone said "Anna Kuhlmann, d. Dec. 14, 1878, ae 20 yrs. 6 mo. 26 da." A 1934 transcription said "Anna Kuhlmann, gest Dec 14, 1878, age 20 yrs, 6 m, 26 d" and placed the stone between those of Henrietta Stelter and Fredrich Bosert, both at the very tip of the unlotted SW corner. There are several unmarked burials back there, as well as broken bottoms, that could be hers. In 2007, the white marble tablet stone was found displaced and stuck in the ground in Row 7. Her inscription is worn, but is in German, so probably does not match the "blessed" stone leaning against Bosert's in row 23, even though the type of stone and grain sizes match. Since no immediate relatives are known, she cannot be easily identified through the census, marriage license index, or recorder's office. There are Kuhlmans living next to John and Louisa Kraft in the 1870 census, but they appear to have no children. Her relation to German Wallace College should be investigated, starting with the Catalogues and Alumni Records.
