While no gravestone or other marking has been found for Christian McPherson Ketler (or Kettler), the History of Hebron Methodist Church contains compelling information that her burial was performed at the now abandoned Holcomb Cemetery, once known as Enon Cemetery. This cemetery was named after the Methodist church that once occupied that site from about 1860 to 1880. The log building that was initially built for Hebron Methodist Church burned in about the year 1860. A new church was built five miles east of the old Hebron Church and was called Enon. The Methodists in the surrounding area, which included the Ketler family, all worshiped at Hebron and subsequently at Enon after the first Hebron Church burned. Christian McPherson Ketler died in 1864 during the period that Enon Church, and adjoining cemetery, was being utilized and it is highly certain that she is buried in an unmarked grave in this cemetery. Her death occurred during the Civil War when many could not afford expensive stone grave monuments.
Christian (or Christianna) McPherson Ketler is listed in the 1850 U. S. Census for Alabama as Christianna McPherson, 21 years of age, and in the 1860 Census for Mississippi as Christian Ketler, 32 years of age. Some Ketler genealogies have her as Christine. She was married to John Littleton Ketler in about 1851 or 1852. John Littleton and Christian Ketler had five children: Elizabeth (born ≈1853), Sarah (≈1856), Thomas Daniel (≈1858), Jefferson Malcolm (1861), and Mary Etta (≈1864). The cause of her death is not known; however, she died at the reasonably young age of 35 or 36 years old in the same year that her youngest daughter, Mary Etta, was born. Difficulties during childbirth could have been the reason for her death along with any of a number of diseases that were prevalent and had no cure at that time.
