Frederick Stahlman, his wife Louise and son Augustus are buried in the Brookston IOOF
Cemetery, Brookston, White, Indiana. Jo Ann Guntrip & I are in the process of
publishing a book about this cemetery. We have been working on it for the past few years.
I don't know where Albert is buried. He could be here; there are a lot of unmarked
graves. If you know his death date and place, then when I get back home from vacation I
will go and look on the death records and see if I can find him. If he is buried in this
cemetery I want to know so he can be included too. If you can fill in any of my missing
details, please contact me. Thanks. Hope this helps.
Oh-- I think I have a picture of their tombstones. Email me directly and when I return I
will send you a copy.
