There is no evidence that ELISABETHA and her family stopped in Tuscarawas County, Ohio on their way to Wabash County, Indiana. However, in Tuscarawas County, there were a number of Glässer individuals who were also from Waldgrehweiler. No connection has yet been established. However, some of them are listed in these WeRelate pages, but are only linked through OTHER families, and not directly through Glässer relationships.

Other related surnames on "WeRelate" who are associated with WALDGREHWEILER are: Baumbauer, Beamer, Henry, Hildenbrand (spelled many different ways), Maurer, Mohr, Regula, Schlemmer, Schroeder, and no doubt others.

It must have been very difficult for Elisabetha to be in a new country for about a year, and then lose her husband. It would seem that Elisabetha went to live with her daughter Elizabeth Hildenbrand in the city of Wabash afterward. She appears in the household in the 1860 Census.

Elisabetha was originally buried in Hanna Cemetery on East Hill Street, near the home of Barbara Lower (her granddaughter). When the cemetery was converted to a park in circa 1902-1907, the graves were moved to Falls Cemetery. The book Hanna's Town says that this was the city's original cemetery, and that about 450 bodies were relocated. Most were moved to Falls Cemetery. However, not all bodies were removed, and only about 35 headstones were. Therefore, wherever Elisabetha's grave is, it is unfortunately probably not marked.
