The Waterloo Region branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society has a transcription of Shantz Mennonite Cemetery. In this, the decedent's given name is spelled 'Nicolaus. The gravestone's inscription is in German.

Ezra Eby, in his 1895 volume 1 of his Waterloo biographies, states that Nicolaus never married. This appears to be confirmed by available census information.
