Narrative
Buried with several other members of the Forst family (including sister Melissa, aunt Eliza, and grandmother Mary) in County Line Cemetery in Luther, Whitley Cty, Indiana is an Edwin A. Forst, according to FindaGrave.com's listing. The dates (and overall age) disagree with the information I have for Edwin Alphius Forst, but it seems a bit coincidental, unless another member of the Forst family lived in the area (other than George W. Forst) and had an infant death also named Edwin A. Forst.
It should be noted that the vital dates on FindaGrave.com are likely taken from an older interment listing, as the vast majority of the stones in that cemetery are long gone and most of the few that remain are not legible. The vital dates I have are from the notes of Jane Anne Thomas, and are unvalidated and unsourced, so I can't be sure of their veracity, either. Given the timeframe of his death, though, it still seems likely that he is buried there.
