DEATH It is not clear where Johann Ludwig died and where he lived. The following link shows a grave in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio, which could be the right one. But this has to be proved! If correct, then Ludwig was married to Theresa Arnold, died on 28 March 1884 in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio, and was buried at Walnut Hills Cemetery, Ohio.
