As the government historian for my local municipality, I had a patron request info on their ancestor who died in a wagon accident in 1899. Turns out they were originally buried just outside of a Catholic cemetery in what they called the potters field. The diocese records stated: "July 5-7, (1899) Nicholas Miller German Luxemburg 41....killed by fall of lumber, NO priest officiated, being buried in Potter's field, no Sacraments W.T.W" .
He was 41 years old, and W.T.W are the initials of the priest who documented the death. His last name was actually 'Muller. Today, his grave and others buried in the potter's field section are INSIDE the cemetery and there appears to be no distinction in the potter's field area and the main cemetery. Perhaps it's possible that your unmarked grave was someone who was either a criminal, a wanderer no one knew, a poor person who couldn't obviously afford a grave, someone who committed suicide, or perhaps an enslaved person of one of those buried within the cemetery. Quite a few reasons it could be unmarked. So sad, but God knows their name!

when you work so long on people you find that you have grown to know them...its like my research, my ancestors are dead but they are alive thru me and I know each one tho we've never met. I talk about them as tho they are still alive today and more or less they are. I truly appreciate what you and the others are doing and if God permits I hope all are looking down and smiling.

I love when you said that you feel like you know them personally. You put your heart, strength, emotion, and passion into restoring these precious resting places, and it's so obvious how much you care.
Hopefully (hopefully! hopefully!) once you get it cleaned off you might find some identification written on a stone. Granted, it might be hard to read (D2 to the rescue!π) but we won't know until you get to that point. I'm gonna think positive and expect to see "something". That would be so cool!

Awesome of you for restoring and trying to preserve the cemetery and learning the history behind those buried there.
