Madness Monday- Rheinlander Family

One source of madness in my family research are my Rheinlanders, although I have been persistently making cracks in my wall. Christ (found as Christ, Christopher, Christian, among others) was born in June 1958 in Prussia to Johann and Margaretha Everhart. He came to the US in 1864 and shortly there after was living in Canal Fulton, Stark County, Ohio. He and his brother Henry, met the Whitman sisters. Christ and Mary Whitman were married in St. Peters Church, Doylestown, Wayne County, Ohio 28 October 1881.
Christ and Mary went on to have twelve children. Christ and Mary died young in 1905 and 1907, leaving many of their children under age in Akron, Summit County, Ohio. It has been a goal of mine to track down all of the children and figure out what had happened to them. I have three more to go.
One thing that is really bothering me about Christ and Mary is about their deaths. For both of them I have their obituaries in the Akron Beacon Journal, but a death certificate or a burial location has not been found for either one of them! The churches mentioned in the obits were queried with negative results.
The following are transcripts of their obituaries and that of one of their babies.
