Ferdinand attended the Lutheran Church, because it was German-speaking, and some of his children had married Lutherans. Hence, he was buried in the St. John's Lutheran church cemetery, but not with his wife Amelia ("Emilie").
* Ferdinand's in-laws, the Gutrich family (aka Gutzek, Gutzke) had immigrated in May 1872. The family of Ferdinand and Emilie was too large to transport with everyone else in 1872 (perhaps due to cost or small children). Immigrant ship was the "Oder."
