According to the records of Zion Lutheran Church, Chattanooga, Loudwich Abraham “Baberstein” was confirmed on 14 April 1875. He died 24 May 1876 at the age of 15 years, 3 months and 18 days. His name was recorded as “Bieberstein” in his church death record.
I recently blogged about the tombstones of his parents.

Greetings from the Chattanooga, Ohio, area. Yes, Ohio has its very own Chattanooga, aka Chatt, a small village in west-central Ohio, near the Indiana border. I have been doing family history research for over 20 years and am a Board-Certified genealogist, certified by the Board for Certification of Genealogists®. My main genealogical interests are family research, cemetery research, and historical and genealogical research of the Chatt area, with a focus on two area Lutheran Churches, both named Zion Lutheran, one in Chatt and the other in Schumm, Ohio. Family names I am researching include Miller, Schumm, Brewster, Rueck, Reid, Headington, Huey, Bryan, Whiteman, Schinnerer, Scaer, Breuninger, Bennett, and a few others. I belong to several lineage societies, including the Daughters of the American Revolution, U.S. Daughters of 1812, First Families of Ohio, and First Families of Mercer and Van Wert Counties. I am also a retired dental hygienist and our church organist. I hope you enjoy Karen's Chatt.

What an interesting name. Poor Abraham, died on my birthday. Well I wasn’t born until 1979, but you know what I mean.
