Marie Antoinette Thomas Maehl

This week's Elmwood Cemetery resident is Marie Antoinette Thomas Maehl.  April 12, 1866 - September 8, 1891.  She was the wife of John P. Maehl.   I love her stone and her name...and despite her name being somewhat unusual  ... I cannot find out anything about her... or her husband.  Perhaps one of you interweb sleuths would be more successful.  She was certainly too young to pass, although not uncommon at all back then. October 1st , 2022 is the 150th Anniversary Celebration for Elmwood Cemetery... find out more here:   https://www.facebook.com/elmwoodcemkc
