There is NO surviving memorial for Henry OTTO.
It is an assumption based on the fact that at least three of his siblings are in this cemetery.
In the rows in front of the 1806 church there are empty spaces as well as to the side with the hill.

His wife's name [1st?] is believed to be Margaret possibly Anna Margaret.
From a family file by Lori J. Shaffer: Married Catherine Applegate 1st -2nd Anna Margaret in Frederick Co. MD

The name Henry was used by different generations so there is confusion on the identity of the different Henrys.
