Major E. G. Niklaus died at his home in Madison the first of the week from an attack of pneumonia. The funeral will occur today.

NOTE: The issue of the Madison Courier, Madison, Indiana, where he died is missing.

There was a family vault ("Niklaus or Nicklaus") vault on Lots 172-173 in Plat 2 on the hillside which no longer exists. Pieces of it can be found in the woods to the east of the lots. It is not known if the vault collapsed or was removed. The inscriptions were transcribed about 1941 when the DAR transcribed the cemetery. As of this date (Sept 24, 2011) no markers can be located of the family members that were once interred within the family vault.
