• Notes

  For many years, a single grave existed in a pasutre two or three miles southwest of the present Bern church. It was in a remote place by itself. For a long time it remained a mystery why a single grave was situated in this pasture. It was eventually learned that more than a century ago the grave was placed there to "hide" it from the Indians who would dig up graves of white men. The grave was that of Sam Baumgartner. In 1980, it was moved to the present church cemetary. -Marching to Zion, page 212, 1984 Kidron Webpage (Indiana Genealogy Society) homepage shows death on 26 March 1875
