Note: Draheim & Kautz: According to Mrs. Vilas Holdorf, whose maiden name was Elsie Streckert, and Gottfried Streckert, on whose farm the family cemetery is located, the Draheims and Kautzes are not related to the Streckerts. They were buried in the Streckert Family Cemetery since they did not have another "suitable place".
