"Cemeteries in Sumner County, Kansas" by Harvey and Ruth Swan (1983)
George was buried in Forest Hills Cemetery in Sumner County, Kansas. Several other people had been buried on private land, then later placed in the cemetery when it was donated to the community by a Mr. Arnspiger on the family homestead. It was then named Arnspiger Cemetery. This donation was prompted by the death of George Arnspiger, age 20 years, 11 months, 20 days. He died on May 4, 1878. In 1891, the name was changed to Forest Hills Cemetery.
----------------------------------------
