Additional Comments:
Tombstone in Baldwin Cemetery: "Caroline Novark  August 28, 1829 - Feb 8, 1892" 
(Rae and Robert Neubaum saw the tombstone in the 1970's.) In the book Baldwin 
Cemetery by R.S. Viguers, compiled in 1999, he lists "Nowark, Caroline 28 Aug 
1828-3 Feb 1892" as the inscription. However, according to the obituary in The 
Steelton Reporter on Saturday, February 13, 1892, she died on Tuesday, which 
would have been February 9th.  The plot is listed in the cemetery records for 
Ludwig Novark. It is beside the tombstone of her son who pre-deceased her, 
Wilhelm Neubaum, who died in 1886 as a result of an accident at the steel mill.
