His wife Feb. 9. 1843 - June 19. 1898". Note: There is also an additional inscription at the base of the shared headstone which reads something like 'S L DROLLINGER VEEDERSBURG IND' who was possibly the stone cutter. Who was the S L Drollinger stone cutter who cut Nathaniel and Margaret Bonebrake's headstone? Gordon had the following to say regarding this question: "I don't think it logicly follows that there is a S.L. Drollinger as a stone cutter. It may be he is the one who paid for the stone. In any event I agree it is a mystery. The most logical candidiate would be Samuel Drollinger who was a farmer raising horses." (Question posed by David H. Drollinger and answered by Gordon L. Drollinger)

  Because his father's middle name is Miller no doubt in honor of his mother, it seems likely that Nathaniel's middle name is also Miller.
