OLD ABANDONED CEMETERY IN LOWER SAUCON
For your information, I have recently come by some more tombstone
inscriptions at an old, almost abandoned graveyard in Lower Saucon that
I visited. You are more than welcome to put this on the web as well. I
received the information from a Susan M. Brown who lives at the site
adjacent to her house. Information was sent in by Richard Buss.
Thank you Rirchard and Susan.The information follows:

condition, that one wonders why it is not given attention.
