    As evidenced by the lack of permission to ship his body, no one claimed his body. So it is likely that his wife, Esther, never knew what happened. The undertaker who removed the body, LW Rogers, did the pauper burials for Denver in Denver City Cemetery under contract. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=146751829&PIpi=121671471

    From JewishGen 1875 Vilna Census. This documents "Mairim Rafes" or Rofes, son of Leizer Vulf, listed here as 10 years old. Mairem is a Hebrew masculine name acording to: http://www.avotaynu.com/books/Gorr.htm While Maurice is not related in meaning to Mairem, if you were changing the last name Rofes to Rofheart might as well completely change the first name too.
