Sixty Revolutionary War Vets Remembered in Kreidersville
Sixty Revolutionary War heroes are buried at Zion Stone United Church of Christ in Kreidersville. They were honored during a Memorial Day Ceremony yesterday. Sons of the Union, attired in Civil War era uniforms, were joined by the Tri-Community Marching Band. My thanks to Jeff Stoffa, for the video footage.

These are the following Revolutionary veterans buried in this church graveyard:

As previously noted, we listed those on the monument at 10th and Linden Streets at our place on Memorial Day
"Local Soldiers Remembered"
for those who missed it but would care to know
I am very curious about this list -- several names on my family tree appear here -- Hagenbuch, the Dreisbachs, Fenstemaker. Were these men killed in the Revolutionary War or were they simply vets buried there after their death later in life? Any information is welcome.
