It is very likely both Henriette and spouse Karl Zanow were buried at Bethlehem Cemetery in Altamont. Karl and his family were one of the first early settlers who migrated from New York to Bethlehem Illinois along with seven other families and made settlement in the spring of 1861. Here they remained until their death.
