Note: This photograph is useful in locating the graves since there are only two tombstones on the plot. There are 14 people buried in the plot which is the size of 5 standard plots. The two stones are for Stanley Marlton Massey (1895-1902) and William Arthur Ensko II (1851-1889). This photograph is from the back of the tombstones so you can see the large tree in front of the grave site. It took three trips to the cemetery for the graves to be found. They were finally located on April 23, 1999. The Lindauer line wasn't explored until the death certificate of Jenny Gertrude Freudenberg (1888) was found in the New Jersey archive, and it named this cemetery in Brooklyn as the place of burial. The cemetery asked for $50 to look up the names. The first transcript showed all the Freudenbergs buried there. A note at the bottom of the letter said there were Lindauers buried there, and they would need additional money to look up those names. I sent the money and the cemetery sent a new list with all the Lindauers.
