comments

There is no known information on Louisa. She does not appear in the Census. Her approximate date of birth, age, and date of death are all unknown. Her inscription was already damaged at the time of the 1904 survey, which reported only "Louisa, d.----". The inscription on the opposite face was reported as "John Reichert, d. Aug. 23, 1857, ae 38". The monument is unique: tall, flat, of sandstone which has become blackened. The layers of sandstone on Louisa's side have separated and flaked off, a phenomenon called delamination.
