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.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.

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

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.
