I've looked over the list several times, but I'm not seeing Johan Heinrich Stoltz listed for any of the grave markers. (There are quite a number of graves that are marked "Unknown.") In fact, I don't even see a listing for Abraham Stoltz, for whom you indicated you found a grave. Unless I've overlooked the names, the only Stoltz listed is a "Mary Magdamm Stoltz." You might want to call Terry Dull, who is one of the folks in charge of the graveyard. His number is 945-5191. Or if you wish to first purchase a copy of the graveyard booklet, just give Shiloh Lutheran Church a call sometime during the week at 945-5255. Leave a message if no one answers and let them know you'd like to pick up a booklet. When I wrote this article, they were asking for a $5.00 donation for it. Sorry I can't be of much help to you, but I do hope you'll be able to locate Johan Stoltz's grave. All the best, Deb Hi, Linda —

I was looking for my 4th great grandfather (whom I did not find), but did find the grave of his son Abraham Stoltz. Abraham's father was Johan Heinrich Stoltz who died in 1773, maybe 1774. I have been trying to locate Johan Heinrich's resting place for several years. His wife, Anna Barbara Stoltz Hauser & my 4th great grandmother, is buried in Bethania's Moravian graveyard. When Heinrich died, she Married George Hauser, a Moravian. I noticed several unmarked grave markers in Shiloh's old cemetery and was wondering if there are any old written records listing the names of all who may be buried there. Any help in locating Johan Heinrich Stoltz's resting place would be most appreciated. I visited the cemetery in fall of 2009.
