Christian Penner was buried in Snoddy Cemetery, Wabash Twp, Fountain Co IN.
He died May 28 1857 aged 77y, 3m, 3d. His wife Mary died Oct 15 1837, aged
66 years according to cemetery information.
5 other Penner stones are nearby in this cemetery which is south of
Covington, the county seat of Fountain Co. In Coopers Chapel cemetery
not far away, is one other Penner burial.
A quick look at early marriage records show a Christian Penner married Mrs.
Mary David in Fountain Co on 16 Jan 1845. His wife Mary (listed above)
died in 1837, so this could be same Christian Penner.

I am searching for more information on the Penner family that appeared in
Fountain
Co., IN as early as the 1840 census. In the 1850 census, Christian
was 68. Any information on his family, parents, death date, etc. would be
appreciated. Thank you.
