Peter Albert Dosmann, a machinist # 186900190 - no known hdst. He is lost in this South Bend, Indiana cemetery! (1853–1900). Peter A. with these dates comes from another family member on ancestry.com. However, there are no records to link him to these parents. I can not access a 1861 Canadian record for the whole family. 1871 Canadian census Record does NOT include him. But a Peter shows up in South Bend in 1870. We need closer cousins to confirm or deny this link. Four of our family scholars have looked at Canadian and Immigration records and can not piece him together. His Mom would have been 44 giving birth to him. Not impossible. Please help us to fill in all three of the children's dates and cemetery names. Thank you Margaret Pook for going out two times to photograph his headstone so we could try to read the top and bottom inscriptions. "First line is unreadable* Joseph Dosmann Geb (Born) 16 März (March) 1872 Alter (age) 66 Jah (years) Bottom line is unreadable" My scholar brother, Rick Leyes, is able to read old German script says: "..lines are written in Fractur and inscriptions on the granite appear to be freehand i.e. less formal than a professional would normally do. Impossible to read top and bottom lines. *The top line may say: "Hier ruht, I would interpret it as "Here rests" not "Here lies". Unless someone goes back out and does a .....closer picture of the top and bottom lines ...-this stone's writing will be lost forever.
