The stone is unreadable but cemetery records state that he was the still born un-named son of Elizabeth Helfrich born in 1856, there was no month listed. I believe this is a child of Elizabeth Wanner and Levi Helfrich. There is a lot of evidence to confirm this. She would have been 43 or 44 at the time of his birth while uncommon, its certainly possible. Elizabeth and her children were confirmed at the Stone Church in Snyder's Pa in 1857. Back in the day, when you moved, one of the first things you did was join a church. So they still would have been living in Kutztown in 1856. So I believe this to be their last known child. The grave is next to another Helfrich child , a son of Jonathan Helfrich, half brother of Levi. Also Levi Helfrich is listed as being buried here but he is not listed in the cemetery records. Cemetery records are on file at the PA German Historical Society Library in Kutztown.
