I did a search of the Wells County Public Library , Genealogy Dept and found they are both
buried at Six Mile Cemetery, located 3 miles southeast of Bluffton on Route 116, just east
of County Road S450East, on the North side of 116.
The library's Cemetery Index shows:
John Schaffter
Born: 10/9/1856
Died: 1/11/1960
Age; 75
Funeral Home: Thoma
Source: Funeral home records; walked cemetery.
Flora S. Schaffter
Born: 1860
Died: 1925
Age: 65
Source: Old index
I also did a search for obituaries for each one, but they had none listed in the
Library's obit index.
The Cemetery reindex showed 4 other Shaffters at Six-mile Cemetery - Eloise E., Henry,
Robert and Sarah. And 5 other Schaffters are buried at St. John Cemetery in Harrison
Twp., Wells County; i.e., Charles, David, Herman L., Amy, henry and Emma.
You could always try to contact the Thoma Rich Funeral Home in Bluffton (635-449-6377) for
more information in their recordson john and Flora.
Good luck in your search.
