According to website Info Levi Reinert died 1891 and was buried 3rd Jan 1891 in Allentown PA. Could anyone assist with cemetery name?

Looking at the internet, it appears there was (still is?) an Allentown Cemetery in Allentown.  10th & Linden Streets.

Perhaps he was buried in this cemetery?

I assume this is the correct Levi in the 1880 census married to Susanna.

1880 census: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MWN3-LX2

===

There is an obit for a Susanna Reinert who died in 1908, listed as widow of Levi Reinert. Her age is 83 which matches 1880 census and  the obit also states her husband died 17 years ago which would be 1891. She was to be buried in Union Cemetery. I assume she would be buried with Levi and he is in the same cemetery.

===

Can't post attachments in look up forum.

see reference thread for obit.

Yes Susanna is correct, many thanks. Know found her in Union-West End Cemetery on Find a Grave (no grave  photo linked)  Levi is not linked with her.
