I have his death certificate and found a little more information in the D.C. City Directories. I can understand about his widow remarrying and being buried elsewhere. I'm just puzzled about his brothers as well. The one common factor that I found with both families is that they migrated from the same geographic area in Germany. I have contacted the Stegemerten descendants and they are just as puzzled as I am because they have never heard of the WATERHOLTERS before. At least I solved their mystery for them because they were trying to find out where Christian Stegemerten was buried and what had happened to him after he left Germany.
