A hired farm laborer who had come from Germany was employed by Granulatna William Hinneh. When the man died, he was buried in the Stormner Comet", i ... MAC. Stanton, who gave this information, was not certain of his name. This rucont burial likely is that of Fredrech Meusel, who according to the hedest ... found in 1972, died June 25, 1376. Whether or not Fredrech Meusel was the n. of the hired man is not known.
There is no definite information about whether there were Stoermer chitos ... Juriod in the Stoommer Cometery. These Seems to be no way of getting any more specific information at this time.
Known Burials
Jacob Stoermer (birth and death dates not obtainable; headstone no longer the2 ) Lizzetto Henrietta Stoormer (birth and death datos not obtainable; heacetone ns longer there)
These are the grandparents of Frank and Gus Pfannebecker; the great granc- parents of Grace Sanderson, Fern Lucas, and Glen Clubb; and the great great grandparents of Ergo. Iosbaker and Dan Lucas.

Nov. 1- (year of birth and death date not known) Mina "Winnie" Goeldner, b. July 9 (year of birth and death date not known) These are the infant children of J. Henry and Lisetta Goaldnar. There is no record of the year of birth, the date of death, or the age of the child at the time of death. They died between the years 1870 and about 1370 or 1379. There never wowe any headstones for these children. Henry and Lisetta Goeldner are the grandparents of fredo Bruns.
Johanna Elisabeth Mousel, d. Mar. 15, 1875; age (?) yrs. 2 mos. 12 das. There was also a footstone slab with initials "J. E.M." (Headstone still there) Fredrech Mousel, d. June 25, 1876; age 65 yrs. 10 mos. 11 das. This hoacetone was in the cemetery in 1972 and 1973, but is no longer in the cemetery. There was also a footstone club with initials "F.A.M." Apparently Freeauch and Johanna wore husband and wife.
( The above listing would only account for four of the 12 to 16 headstones chut were there originally. After much inquiry from persons living around Sigourney, no one can enumerate other burials)
