I strongly suspect that she is buried in German Creek/Sunny Ridge Cemetery with no stone marking her grave, most of the other immediate family members are also buried in other locations in this cemetery. There were early burials in or near the southeast corner of this two-acre parcel, it was soon discovered that a spring was in this same area, keeping the ground wet and soggy, so some of the bodies were exhumed and reburied north of the church, and other were not moved because of family desires of not disturbing the graves. There was a brick church building built on this location which is no longer there, only a wooden building used for funerals. The death record for her is listed in the German Creek Evangelical Church records listing her as a daughter of Wilhelm Buhnemann.
