Obituary-Feb. 9, 1893-Morgan Co. IN, George Rosenbalm, age 58, died yesterday at his home south of town.The funeral occurs tomorrow afternoon and the remains will be buried in Liberty Cemetery.Mr. Rosenbalm died with consumption and has been ill for over a year.He has lived in this county for 12 years.Previously he lived in Brown County.He leaves a wife and 4 children.
George was supposed to have been buried in Liberty Cemetery, south of Martinsville, in Morgan County, Indiana.I visited the cemetery and found where his son and daughter are buried.My hunch is that George and Catherine didn't have tombstones (LJ-3/05)
There are many confusing things about this George Rosenbalm.I'm not sure about the last name of his wife; various sources give different names.I'm also not sure about the name of his father.
