I was sent a photo of the grave claiming to be in the Middlefork Cem., Rossville, IN. Now there is a second listing for him in the Old Order Cem., Rossville. Since he and his wife were Old Order that would make more sense, but until I can visit there in person I will still leave this listing for him.
