The above information came from "Amish and Amish Mennonite Genealogies" by Hugh
Gingerich and Rachel Kreider
Not sure where they are buried. The LaGrange County Historical Society may have an idea. I
still think it may be in the Miller Cemetery outside of Shipshewana. There are also
several Bontrager Cemeteries in Lagrange County.
This Christian Miller is of a branch of my ancestral family, however he's not listed
in the book I have of my ancestors. He's from a different branch of the family.
You can also try looking through the USGenweb site for Lagrange County:
