Yes, there are still standing markers at St. John's Lutheran cemetery. It's a nicely kept cemetery and many might well pre-date the Civil War since many are also in German. I have seen tombstones erected in memory of people who were not buried at a site, but have also seen markers erected at later dates for people who were buried at a site. I'm not sure there is any 'rule' on this one. Sorry, I have no idea what the 'rule book' refers to. Good luck.
