I would like to find an obituary for Johann/John Rupprecht that died
around 1853, probably in PA, but family lore has him buried in an unmarked
grave in the cemetery by St. Paul's Lutheran Church which is 3 miles east
of Clear Spring, MD. The family lived in the Clear Spring area. He was
born in 1909 in Germany.

I would also like an obituary for his wife, Kunnigunde Rupprecht, that
died about 1872. I have been told that she is buried in the St. Paul's
Cemetery but the exact date has not been found. She was born in Germany
about 1810.

Their children used Rubeck instead of Rupprecht for their family names.

Any help in finding these obits will be greatly appreciated since I live
about 2000 miles from Washington Co., MD.

I would be happy to correspond with anyone that is researching this
Rubeck/Rupprecht family.
