Jan, thank you so much for all this information. This list is so helpful.
Joseph Embs was born in 1848 and was 72 when he died in 1925. I was so
disappointed that his death certificate did not list his parents' names. My
ggrandmother's name was Mary T. and she was born 12 Dec 1851. His death
certicate indicates the "informant" was Edward Embs. This person did not know
the names of Joseph's parents. I wonder if it was a son or maybe a nephew. A
brother would surely have known their names. I was told that the other Embs
buried in Fairview Cemetery were Henry and two Elizabeths. I have the marriage
certificate for a Henry Embs and Elizabeth Schneiderhahn. I wonder if this
couple is buried there and if so, could Henry be a brother to Joseph. Perhaps
someone with the cemetery book could give me whatever dates there are for these
people? Thanks so much for everyone's help.

don't see your Joseph, but I don't know how old he was when he died.
Perhaps this will help you. If you can give me an approx. birth date for
Joseph, I might be able to find him, assuming he had been born in 1880.
