The Scholler farm is outlined in red on this image from the 1926 Plat Book. (I believe "Amanda Schaffer" should read "Amanda Scholler," as this land is shown on the 1874 Plat Map as owned by William Scholler, Amanda's husband.)

If the article is correct in stating that Frederick Hartman was buried in Hobart Cemetery, I don't know what's become of his grave. The Northwest Indiana Genealogical Society's Hobart Township Cemeteries doesn't list him, nor does findagrave.com.
I can't find any information about Lizzie's death (per the 1900 Census, her name was Martha E., the E probably standing for Elizabeth), so perhaps she recovered.

I don't know if the house is still there. I'll have to pay attention next time I'm at that intersection and look around for an old farmhouse-looking structure.
