Dryland Church Yard

THE DRYLAND CHURCH YARD IS SITUATED AT HECKTOWN,PA. LOWER NAZARETH, TOWNSHIP,ROUTE 191, ABOUT 1-1/2 MILES NORTH OF ROUTE 22, ON WEST SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, BEHIND TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH. The above are directions for Dryland(old), no stones in this part, just a plaque with names and dates. There is also a Dryland(Union) adjancent to Dryland above. I'm not sure which cemetery the following records are in. I tend to believe its (Union)
Its rather difficult to copy these records and make sense from them, I hope these are understandable to the reader, I believe they must be family plots
NOTE: The "f" stands for "s" as Auguftus would be Augustus in the Old Style English.
