Lou Ann,
Even to this day people want to spell our surname Barnhardt! I'm a little pleased to
know that the tombstone says Bernhardt, although, like you said, I have learned to search
for several variations. (I have some ancestors whose surname was Horgesheimer -- you have
no idea how many ways that can be written down!)
As far as I can tell, all those folks preferred Bernhardt, too, so thank you for
correcting the records to match the large marker.
I think you are right that the four boys who left other records (Fred, Charles, John, and
Frank) are all buried in Frank Sr.'s plot. Also, I think, a son who died in infancy,
Joe. Barbara had one more child who did not live, but I have not found any record of
him/her.
Again, thanks for all your good work,
Deb Bernhardt
