I see that she's buried under the name Storck, but I find a 1908 marriage
to John W Breitenback. I assume that Martz was her maiden name. There is
a Campground Road in Vanderburgh Co. and thought the cemetery might be
located there. I see that several Martz names are found there in
Campground cemetery (including a Louis Martz who died of 3rd degree burns
sustained while watching a grass fire. He was 72 and died in 1924 at
Laubscher Hospital. He came from Alsace-Lorraine area as did Maria's
parents. Was her father John Martz?

In 1920 John W. Breitenbach is found in Evansville listed as a widow and
head of the family with a daughter Tillie and a son Elmer. I wonder if the
marriage was annulled. I find him in earlier census with wife, Minnie,
(probably Wilhelmina.)
If this is your Maria (and the age matches), something happened to the
marriage since I continue to find her listted as Maria Storck in 1910 and
1920 censuses.
I have an image of a naturalization record for Louis Storck in NY on Oct.
5, 1868. I can send a copy of the image to your private email if you are
interested.
I see that someone just sent you the specific information about Louis's
burial. Glad you have that info. If you want anymore details about the
family such as census records, etc., let me know. I'm not sure what else
you might want. If you want the image email your private email address to
