CHRISTINA is not shown in James Haupert's Urbana Cemetery index, where her husband is buried. There is a reason for this, but the story; as related to this compiler, by the official Wabash County Historian, Ron Woodward, seems to be lost to history!

"White Creek" has visited the Long Cemetery on 9 July 2017, and photographed what appears to be Christina's stone. On the base on the opposite side, was the surname SHINDLER. It was in a row of 3 stones, one of which was clearly her son's, Henry. Therefore despite not being able to read much of the stone, there is enough of it upon enlargement, which is readable, such as her birth and month of death.

The other stone in the group, which looks like Christina's, may be that of her daughter, Lydia, who is buried in the township.
