This Michael Pfautz was a brother of Conrad Pfautz.He is not in our direct line of descent but his story is interesting.Michael and his wife Catherine Neff lived and died in Coventry Twp., Chester County.
Their son, John Pfautz, brought their remains into Lancaster County and they were buried in the Middle Creek Brethren grave yard in Ephrata Twp.Large sand gravestones are placed to the graves.
On May 2, 1961 I visited this cemetery and "inventoried" many Pfautz gravestones.Michael'sand Catherine's stones were there.Being made of a soft sand stone they were very hard to read.I took a picture of Michael's stone which was lettered in German.Many of the olderstones in that cemetery are in German.I will attempt type this as best I can:

The gravestone of Catherine, wife of Michael Pfautz, was in place but not legible.Over the years Pfautz family members have contacted me as to the location of this cemetery, some from New Mexico,Oregon, and Ohio.I do not intend to try to research this "side" of our family.It is an opportunity for a young "Pfautz" descendant of Michael Pfautz.
