Wife of Eugene Slutter Werkheiser.
Buried in Mt. Zion but with no headstone. She is likely buried between her father-in-law, Peter, and sister-in-law, Carrie, along with her husband, Eugene, who is also buried without a headstone. There appears to be space for two graves between Peter and Carrie.
From The Morning Press - Stroudsburg August 16, 1909:
"Susan, wife of Eugene Werkheiser of Sciota, died Friday, aged 34 years. Deceased's maiden name was Anglemyer and she was born in Jackson Township. She is survived by her husband, five children, father and several sisters and brothers. The funeral took place this (Monday) morning with services at Mt. Zion and interment in the adjoining cemetery."
Curiously the obituary indicates that Susan was survived by five children. She had just given birth to her sixth child, a son named Norman, on July 11, 1909. Very shortly after her death, her husband, Eugene, farmed each of the six children out to other families in the county saying he could not care for them. Norman was adopted by the Schmauder family in Wind Gap, PA and took their last name. The five girls (Mayme, Mildred, Ella, Adele, and Lillian) kept the name Werkheiser but lived with other families and can be found in the 1910 census scattered around Monroe County.
