After several trips to the Addy Cemetery my father and I were able to locate the gravesite of Caspar Albert Staeheli. This is a pioneer cemetery which has little maintenance and Caspar's grave is unmarked.
It is my intention to have a grave marker made which I will place on the gravesite. The caretaker has granted permission to place the marker myself.
This will be a simple flat stone with his name Caspar Albert Staeheli, date of birth August 26, 1850, date of death June 8, 1912, and an epitaph.
For the epitaph I am considering several options and ask for suggestions from family. One possibility is "Husband of Maria - Immigrants from Switzerland". Another is "Emigrated from Switzerland March 1899".
Once an epitaph is chosen I will purchase the grave marker and place it in the cemetery the first week of July.
