The cemetery is not pictured, but it would be to the right of the home in this picture. The image was made facing towards the north east.<\/p>\n<p>Next time I visit the cemetery I&#8217;ll have to take a picture of the church myself. I&#8217;ve been there several times as five of my ancestors are buried there. I&#8217;ve taken numerous photographs of their stones, but never a picture of the church. The church would have standing when my great-great-grandfather Trautvetter was buried from there in 1916. \u00a0Now to determine if this was the building standing when Franciska Trautvetter was buried in the church cemetery in 1888 and when her mother-in-law, Sophia (Derle) Trautvetter was buried in 1877.<\/p>\n<p>One picture always begs more questions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ebay\u00a0is an occasional genealogical temptation.
