Johann "John" Moskop my 2nd Great Gpa

Johann “John” my 2^nd great grandfather was born Aug 1849 or 1851 in Germany. He married Sophia Timmerman Jan 28^th 1873 at Madonnaville in Monroe co Illinois, and the marriage record says he is 22, so that would make him born 1851. Also on the Florida passenger list in 1852 there is an infant stated to be Joseph. I believe this is John, and perhaps Joseph was his first name. He fathered 8 children with Sophia, 2 of them died as infants, one at birth and the other at 4 days old. Between May of 1888 and May of 1889 they moved to Randolph co, Arkansas. His older sister Katherine Eich moved to Ark around the same time period. The last 2 children of John and Sophia are born in Ark. Walter which is my Great Grandfather is born in May 1889. And an infant also is born and dies in 1891. Sophia dies in 1891 in Ark. It is possible she died from child birth. So her death left him with 5 children, ages 3, 4, 7, 15 and 18. April 3^rd 1892 John married Minnie Ellis in Randolph Co Arkansas. She was 21 years old and he was 41. Again we see a quick marriage to a much younger woman to take care of his children. John and Minnie had 6 children. Bessie, Early Lee, Bert, Robert Jay, Hattie, Eugene. All born and died in Arkansas.

St Pauls Calothic Cemetery in Pocahontas Arkansas.

John, Sophia and their last child which is unnamed are buried at St Pauls Calothic Cemetery in Pocahontas Arkansas. I have requested photos for their tombstones on www.findagrave.com but they have not be fullfilled. If anyone reading this blog lives near this cemetery and can take some pictures for me that would be very much appriciated.
